The Lady Barkly sailed for Golden Bay last evening. The cutter Maid of Italy arrived from Biwaka this morning with a cargo of prodace. The Lyttelton arrived at Wellington this morning, and will sail for Nelson via Blenheim to-night. The line between here and VVestport is down so that nothing is known yet of the Charles Edward and Wallace. The Kenuedy and Murray are still at Greyniouth', where they report " a heavy sea, a strong fresh in the river, weather looking bad, bar dangerous." The Wanaka is expected here some time to-morrow. On her arrival she will be placed on the hard for the purpose of shipping a new propeller. Considerable uueasiness is felt regarding the safety of the ketch Thames, which left Wellington for Nelson three weeks ago, nothing having been seen or heard of her since. It may be that she has taken shelter in some nook against the late bad weather. The cutter Midge, while sailing out of the harbor last evening, was caught aback by a puff of wind, aud before anything could be done, was piled up on the Boulder Bank. All attempts to get her off proved futile, but with the assistance of the pilot crew the cutter waa got off this morning without having sustained the slightest damage. The North Otago Times reports the following nautical mistake of recent occurrence at Oainaru: — The Arthur Wakefield, mistaking that port for Timaru, came into harbor on Monday night, and hauled alongside the Macauurew Wharf next morning. Her hatches had actually been taken on: to discharge cargo., aud her captain (supposing himself to be at Timaru) expressed his great satisfaction at 'the immense improvement in tee shippiug facilities since he last visited the pore, remarking " that it was quite wonderful, as there was nothing whatever of this aort (indicating the Breakwater Wharf) when he waa last here." Explanations ensued, and he discovered to hia surprise and regret that he was in the wrong port after all, and there was nothing for it but to put on the hatches again and make sail. Messrs M'Meckan, Blackwood & Co.'s s.s. Albion, Captain Tozer, arrived in harbor this morning shortly after nine o'clock. She left Stindridge Railway Pier at 3 p.m. on the 30th ultimo, cleared the Heads at 6 p.m. the same day, and passed the bisters at 9.20 a.m. on the 31st; experienced fresh westerly breezes for the first three days, then northerly winds, arriving off Hokitika at noou on {Sunday ; cruised about waitiug for a tug to come off until nine yesterday morning, aud there then being uo chance of communicating with the shore, stood on for Nelson; called at VVestport at 3.30 p.m., and after waiting there for three quarters of an hour without seeing any signs of a steamer putting off, the Albion proceeded on her course, arriving here as above. By some mistake the Albion was started away without a purser this trip. Thia has caused a deal of inconvenience, and the discharging of the vessel this morning was delayed a couple of hours in consequence. We are indebted to the chief officer for the report. The Albion sails for Melbourne and Southern Ports to-morrow morning.
