The Lyttelton sailed for Blenheim and Wellington to-day.

The Wallace will sail for the Coast at noon to-morrovf,

The Kennedy left Greymouth to.day for Nelson via We9fcporfc, will arrive to morrow afternoon, and sail for Wellington on Monday.

The schooner May is advertised to sail for Waitapu this evening.

A. number of small vessels which had been detained by adverse weather, sailed for their several destinations this morning. The Richard and Mary, which had been detained through stress of weather, left Lyttelton for Napier this morning. The Wanaka leaves Onehunga to-morrow morning, will arrive here on Sunday night, and sail for Picton, Wellington, and South at 9.30 a.m. on Monday. The Lady Barkly is receiving a thorough overhaul, a number of carpenters, boilermakers, and painters being busily engaged at work at her.

The ketch XXX, which left Lyttelton for Nelson on Saturday last, has not yet put in an appearance. Probably she has put into some nook for shelter against the strong winds which have prevailed lately. The Wellington, which has been lying at Wellington since Sunday last, leaves that port at two o'clock this afternoon, will arrive here to-morrow morning, and sail for Taranaki and Manukau by the same tide at 11 o'clock.

One of the strongest N.W. wiuds that has been experienced in Nelson for a long time past raged yesterday. Fortunately all the coasting fleet were lying at their anchors, so that they sustained no damage by bumping against the wharves. There was also a hieh Bea running on the bar, so that no vessels dare risk crossing it. The wind gradually died away during the afternoon, and this morning culminated in a sou-wester. The cutter Midge is now almost ready for sea, and will take up the running in her old trade next week. While on the stocks she was subjected to a thorough overhaul. Besides receiving a new keel, several new planks were put into her, all defective ones being removed. In addition to this the vessel was coppered as high as the water line. This ■will be a great saving to the crew iv keeping the bottom clean, to say nothing of the protection it affords against worms.
