Tha Wallace will sail for Blenheim at 8 p.m. to-morrow. The schooner May and cutter Dauntless mailed yesterday. The cutter Dart sailed for Havelock yesterday afternoon with one or two passengers and a few tons of cargo. The Lady Barkly started ou her weekly trip to Mo.ueka aud Golden Bay thia afternoon. The barque Melrose arrived this afternoon, after a passage of 15 days from Newcastle. Sho was towed into harbor by the Wallace. The Melrose brings a corgo of coal for Mr J. S. Cross, junior. The Richard and Mary finished discharging her cargo of railway iron on Saturday, aud sailed yesterday afternoon for another load for this place. The Ringarooma sailed for South aud Melbourne at twenty minutes before ons o'clock yesterday morning, and arrived at Wellington at half-past ten. She leaves that port for Lyttelton this afternoon. The Kennedy arrived from Wellington early yesterday morning having made the run across in twelve hours in the teeth of a strong nor-wester. She will sail for West Coast ports at 6 p.m. to-morrow, her departure having been delayed by the weather. The Tararua, which left Melbourne for New Zealand on Wednesday last, has met with a mishap, and had to be towed back to port by the Claud Hamilton. It is just possible that the Alhambra, which is now au emergency boat, and has been ready for sea for some time in case of any of the other boats meeting with an accident, will be despatched in the place of the Tararua. On her next trip to New Zealand the Arawata will be rigged the same as the Kingarooma, viz., a topsail schooner. This, it is expected, will effect a Saving in coal, in the event of the steamer getting a fair wind, •and also add materially to her speed. It is somewhat remarkable that since the Ringarooma has had yards placed across the masts she has met with nothing but a series of head winds. The Charles Edward arrived from West Coast ports this afternoon. She left here on the 25th ultimo, and reached Westport next morning; sailed at midnight, and arrived at Hokitika at 1 p.m. on the 27th; left next day at 1 1-30 a.m., and arrived at Greymouth at 2 p.m.; shipped 75 tons of coal, and sailed at 2 p.m. ou the 9th, reaching Westport at 12*20 next morning; steamed to the bar in the afternoon for the purpose of towing the brigantine Sarah Pile off, but having failed to do so, the Charles Edward came on to Nelson, arriving here as above. Experienced thick dirty weather with heavy rain showers throughout the passage.
