The Lyttelton sailed for Blenheim yester day afternoon. The Wallace reports from Greymouth that there is no improvement in the state of the tar, which is still impassable. The Kennedy will not leave Westport until to-morrow as she is unable to get coals. She will arrive here on Wednesday, and sail for Wellington the same day. The Taupo leaves Onehuuga to-day, will arrive to-morrow night, and sail for the south on Wednesday, at 4 p.m. The Arthur Wakefield commenced discharging cargo this morning alongside the Albion Wharf. The ketch Pearl hauled alongside the Commercial Wharf this morning, and commenced discharging her cargo of coal. As we anticipated the brigantine signalled on Saturday proved to be the Esther. 0 wing to the fickleness of the winds she was unable to make the harbor until yesterday afternoon. The Esther has made a good run from Lyttelton, considering that she is not a clipper. She brings a cargo of produce, principally potatoes, which she commenced discharging this morning alongside the Commercial Wharf. The schooner Uno arrived from the' Sandspit yesterday afternoon with a few tons of cargo, which was picked up on the beach. The Waipara sailed for the scene of the ■wreck last evening. Providing that the wea;her keeps fine she will remain there for a day or two. The Estelle is now getting deeper in the ■water, but as the process of loading is a tedious one, it will be the latter cud of the ■week before she is ready to sail for Dunedin. The cutter Midge arrived from Waitapu this morning. She reports the Richard and Mary .loading at a small place about four miles from Waitapu, with timber. From Melbourne we learn that the favorite old steamer Alhambra is once more to be put into commission, and is advertised to leave for Hokitika on Wednesday next. During the last five months the Alhambra has been laid up, undergoing an extensive overhaul, and it is expected that she will now run a long time without requiring any repairs.
