The Luna is weather bound at Westport. The Lady Barkly arrived from her weekly trip to Golden Bay last evening. The Lyttelton arrived at Blenheim this morning, and will sail for Wellington tonight. | The Kennedy reports a westerly gale at Westport, which prevents her sailing until I to-nigjit.' The Murray reports a heavy sea and flooded river at Greymouth, which place she will leave for Westport and Nelson to-morrow. The Richard and Mary took in the necesary quantity of ballast to-day, and will sail for the Sandspit this evening. The Hawea leaves Onehuuga to-day, will arrive to-morrow eveuing, and sail for Southem ports on Monday at 1 i a.m. The repairs to the Prospect are being pushed forward, and she will be ready for sea ■ about the middle of next week. j The Maori left Westport at noon to-day. j She will arrive to-morrow morning, and sail for Lyttelton and Dunedin by the same tide. The Charles Edward left Westport this morning, will arrive to-morrow morning, and sail at 10 o'clock for Picton and Wellington in lieu of the Wallace, which is detained by the bad weather at Wanganui. The next steamer from the South will be the Wanaka, which leaves Wellington at 1 p.m. to-morrow. She may be expected here about mid-day on Sunday, and will sail for Northern ports at 1 p.m. on Monday. The Waipara sailed for West Coast ports afc 7 o'clock this morning. Against the strong S.W. wind which has been blowing all day it is scarcely likely that she will be able to hammer round the Sandspit.

Ringarooma, Captain Whitburn, arrived iu harbor this morning at 1 1 o'clock, with a fair number of passengers and a large cargo.

The Ringarooma sails for Melbourne and Southern ports at 10. o'clock to-night, conveying passengers to the Melbourne race3.
