The Murray, which left here on Tuesday, arrived at Westport this morning, and will sail for Greymouth to-night. The Kennedy is still a prisoner at Hokitika, but reports that the bar shows signs of improvement. The Wallace and Waipara left Westport for Nelson last evening, aud may be looked for this afternoon. The Lyttelton arrived from Wellington Via Blenheim last night. She will leave for Blenheim at noon to-morrow. The Wanaka will arrive from the North to-night, and sail for Picton and South tomorrow morning. The barque Lochnagar left London for Nelson on the sth of July. The Lady Barkly is expected to arrive from Golden Bay to-night. The Dauntless arrived from the Sandspit last evening with a portion of the cargo of the Queeu Bee. A topsail schooner has been in sight all day. lt is probably the Awaroa from Wanganui with a cargo of live stock. The Emily was towed into harbor by the Lyttelton this morning, and berthed alongside the Albion Wharf, where she commenced discharging cargo in the course of the day. The Emily is one of the smartest looking vessels that has entered this port for some time, and the pity is that she has been converted into a collier. * The Waipara, which left Greymouth for Nelson on Tuesday, pufc into Westport yesterday. She left again last evening at seven o'clock, and will pay a visit to the wreck of the Queen Bee before coming here. She is to be engaged at the wreck for the purpose of getting the cargo out of the hold, as it is found almost impossible to get some of the cases out with the ordinary hand winch. The Hawea came into harbor early this morning from Picton and South. She lef c Wellington at 12*45 p.m. yesterday, and arrived at Picton at G p.m.; left at 9 p.m., and reached here as above. Fine weather marked the run up the coast. The Hawea is a full vessel, the fore hold being chock up with cargo, and tbe after hold almost full. She will sail for Northern Ports with the o*it--fvard San Francisco mail at 6 p.m. H.M.S. Sappho cast off from the buoy in the stream at 8 o'clock this morning, and steamed out to sea. Immediately on getting outside of the harbor the head sails were set, and under these, combined with a little steam, the Sappho jogged along easily down the Bank. As she goes by way of the Pelorus and Queen Charlotte Sounds she will not arrive iv Wellington for a day or two. While iv harbor the Sappho has been favored by fine weather, •which has beeu taken advantage of by the officers and men to make an inspection of the country districts. We hope to see the corvette in Nelson before she quits the station for the old country. The harbor presented au unusual scene of bustle and activity this morning. At daylight the Arawata and Hawea came into harbor, the former being moored at the Government Wharf, and the latter at the Commercial Wharf. Close upon their heels came the brig Emily in tow of the Lyttelton. No sooner was she in harbor than the Sappho cast off from her moorings and steamed out to sea-, Then came the Arawata, outward bound, shortly after the man-of-war. Added to these were two or three of the diminutive class, the whole combined giving the harbor _ pretty effect. The B.s. Arawata left Sandridge Railway Pier at 9 p.m. on the 15th inst, with 460 tons cargo, 33 saloon, and 20 steerage passeugers; cleared the Heads at 11*30 p.m., and passed Swan Island at 5-30 p*m. next day; experienced strong S.W. and S. winds, with a high sea, for the first three days out; thence "to arrival at the Bluff at 4*30 a.m. on the 19th light southerly winds and fine weather, making a smart run of four days three hours • discharged 70 tons cargo, and sailed at 12-30 •p.m. same day, arriving at Port Chalmers at 11*40 p.m.; discharged 200 tons cargo, and sailed at 4 p.m. on the 20th, arriving at Lyttelton at 9 a.m. on the 2 1st; discharged 130 tons cargo, aad sailed at 5 p.m.; encountered a strong northerly wind, and arrived at Wellington at 12-30 p.m. yesterday; sailed at 8 p.m., and arrived at Nelson at 6-30 a.m. today. __ As usual the Arawata did not remain long ia harbor, as having only five tons of cargo for Nelson, she was soon discharged and ready for sea. She sailed for Melbourne via Southern Ports, carrying the outward Suez mail, at 8*45 a.m., and will probably leach Wellington this evening.
