Nelson Evening Mail, Volume XII, Issue 261, 3 November 1877, Page 2

The Albion will be due on the Coast from Melbourne on Monday evening. - The City of Sydney, with the San Francisco mail arrived at Auckland at 9 o'clock last night. ggThe Kennedy and Murray are still detained at Greymouth, where there is a heavy sea on the bar, and flood in the river. The Lyttelton arrived at Blenheim yesterday afternoon, and will sail to-night for Welliugton. The Charles Edward arrived at Westport yesterday afternoon. She reports it raining heavily, with a north-west wind. The Wanaka left Manukau this morning with the San Francisco mail, will arrive tomorrow, and sail at once for the South. The Wallace has been detained at Wellington by the bad weather. She is to sail to-night, will arrive to-morrow morning, and sail for the West Coast with the San Francisco mail in the evening. Owing to the atroug N.W. gale that was raging outside yesterday evening the Taranaki did not sail for Northern ports as was originally intended. She takes her departure this evening at five o'clock. The schooner Neisoa made a better run to Waitapu than was expected, she having arrived there on Tuesday morning. The Nelson was loading there with timber for Lyttelton when the Lady Barkly left. The Richard and Mary has not yet reached her destination, her master having preferred lying snugly at Totaranui to knocking about near a lea shore with the uncertainty of doing any work. Two small coasters made their appearance early this afternoon, but being too early for the tide tbey had to dodge about for an hour or so under close-reefed canvas near the Lighthouse, it being too rough to come to an anchor. The vessels had a nasty trip across the. bay. The Waipara was seen steaming out from Totaranui in the direction of the Spit yesterday morning. It i3 exceedingly doubtful whether she haa yet rounded it, as from the direction the wind was blowing yesterday the sea must have been running mountains high round the Cape. The Waipara is well supplied with live stock, and Captain Bignell will not return to port until he is forced to.
