The Kennedy lec.ves Westport for Nelson to-night. The Planet arrived from Motueka this morning. The Customs receipts at the port of Nelson during the week ending this day amount to £1253 16s 7d. The May sailed for Waitapu last evening. She is under the command of Captain Moore, late of the schoouer Richard and Mary. The steamer Lady Barkly sailed for Motueka last evening, and returned to-day at noon. The Ringarooma arrived at Wellington at 7.30 p.m. yesterday, after a passage of nine hours. The Wellington arrived there early this morning. The Wanaka leaves Wellington at noon on Monday, and is expected here early on Tuesday morning. She leaves for Taranaki and Manukau at 1 p.m. the same day. The ketch Mermaid while coming up the harbor this morning with a stiff S.W. breeze beh'nd her, managed to run into two boats which were moored alongside the wharf aud smash them. The ketch also carried away her forestay and split the jib. The schooner Nelson, Captain Robinson, came up the bay this afternoon too late for the tide and brought up in Bolton Hole until low water, when she will come into harbor. She is from Lyttelton which port she left in the imiddle of the week. The Nelson brings a load of flour. The pis. Wallace left Nelson for Wanganui on Wednesday, and experienced light S.E. winds ac-oss the Straits until sighting the Heads, when she encountered a strong N.W. wind, arriving alongside the wharf there at 11 a.m.; leftat 11a.m. yesterday, encountered a strong nor-wester across the Straits, after passing Stephen's Island had a light' souwester, arriving alongside the Albion Wharf at 5 a.m. to-day. She sails for Blenheim at 6 p.m. She will return on Monday evening, and sail for the Coast on Tuesday. The Waitara, which arrived from Londou on Wednesday eveniug, is one of the fioest vessels that has ever visited this port, and the only pity is that she is not coming into harbor. She was built at (j'lbsgow, and is constructed of iron. Her painted ports indicate that she belongs to the New Zealand Shipping Company. Her passage out must have been a pleasant one according to all accounts. Concerts weie giveu at different times by the immigrants which went a great way to relieve the monotouy which a long sea voyage entails. We have before us programmes of the concerts, and after a perusal of them caa say that they are not wanting in variety. In reply to the question from the Immigration Officer if there were any complaints to make there was only one responae, and that from a married man who complained that tne doctor would not allow his wife to talk to the sailors. The Waitara will probably sail for Wellington to-morrow.
