The Sea Spray, is rapidly discharging her cargo into the hulk Hera, and she will probably be out by the middle of the week. Messrs Sclanders & Co. expect a vessel from the Mauritius with a cargo of sugar some time during the present mouth. The Tauranga commenced discharging her cargo 'this morning. The furniture being light, it will not take long to put ifc on shore, and to-morrow morning will probably see the vessel with a clean hold. The Zior sailed for Hokitika yesterday morning with a portion of her original cargo, and a quantity of flour, which had been brought on here by. the Albion. We hope that Captain Bell will meet with better success than heretofore. The vessel carries with her a good recommendation of the port where she has found shelter and resuscitation. Messrs Freeman Brothers on Saturday evening despatched a telegram to Captain Robinson, of the schoouer Nelson, instructing him to come on to this port at once for the purpose of having a new mainmast placed in fche vessel. The reason why a new mast was not made in Wellington is because the owners find it would be "much cheaper to bring the vessel here in ballast and put the mast in themselves than have it constructed in the Empire City.
