The Kennedy arrived at Wellington late last night. The Murray sailed for West Coast ports thia afternoon. The Charles Edward sailed for Hokitika direct yesterday morning. The Arawata with the Suez mail arrived at the Bluff at 6.45 a.m. this morniug. She will arrive heae ou Friday morning, and sail for Melbourne via South by the same tide. The schooner Sisters sailed for Motupipi early this morning. The ketch Argus has not yet been seen going round the Spit, and it is supposed that she is still at anchor in some snug corner. The cutter Midge arrived from Waitapu yesterday. She reports the brigantine Esther loading there for Lytteltou. The Hawea arrived from Northern ports at L a.m. yesterday, having left Taranaki at 9.30 a.m. on Saturday. She sailed for Southern ports at 2 p.m. to-day. A Dunediu telegram to the Post dated Sept. 14 says: -" The ship Christian M' Ausland has foundered on the coast of Batavia. Captain Cowper and all tha crew were saved. The ship first struck on a reef and theu Trent down." The Christian M'Ansiand was one of Messrs P. Henderson & Co's Albion line of ships trading between Glasgow or London and Dunediu. She was a sister ship to the Jessie Headman, also well kuown in the New Zealand trade. The Waipara was iu sight yesterday afternoon, but did not arrive in harbor until 8 p.m. During the time that she has been absent but very little diving was done, partly on account of the thick muddy water, caused "by the lifting of mud by the action of the sea. Very rough weather has been experienced, and on Friday morning the Waipara had to run for shelter uuder the lee of the Spit. Only fourteen hours' work has been done altogether, and in that time about thirty tons of cargo was secured. O u Tuesday the best day's work was done, but since Thursday morning the divers were unable to see anything below so thick was the water. The Waipara hauled alongside the Commercial Wharf this morning and discharged cargo. She will probably sail again for the scene of the wreck this evening. The schooner Awaroa arrived from Waugan ai early this morning. Captain Greager reports leaving that port on Thursday last, and immediately after getting into the Straits met with strong winds from all directions, accompanied by a very high sea. On nearing Durville's Island the wind increased iu fury, aud assailed the schooner with great vehemence. The vessel was put under close reefed canvas, but so violent was the wiud that the Awaroa was under water as far as the hatches. The wind brought down the sea in great waUs, which made the vessel sag bodily to leeward. Captain Greager took shelter iu Port Hardy on Friday, aud remained there until Saturday morniug, when the anchor was hove up. The Awaroa was in sight here, at daylight yesterday morning, but on account of the S.W. wind that was blowing was unable to reach here until this morning. On the whole Captain Greager says that it was the worst weather he has yet experienced between Wanganui and Nelson. The Awaroa brings a cargo of live stock, which appear none the worse for the tumbling about they have had on the passage across.
