The ship Hurunui left New Plymouth for Wellington yesterday morning. The cutter Midge iiaulod off the hard ibis afternoon, and proceeded round to the Albion Wharf, where she will load for Waitapu. The Wallace arrivedat Hokitika this morning, and will sail to-inorrow for Nelson via intermediate ports.

The Lyttelton was unable to reach Kekeran^u on account of the weather, and had to return to Blenheim, where she is loading for Wellington.

The Charles Edward leaves Greymouth to-day for Westport and Nelson, will arrive on Thursday, and sail for Wellington the same day.

The Wellington leaves Onehunga to-day, ■will arrive to-morrow night, and sail for Picton, Wellington, and South on Thursday, at noon.

The Taranaki leaves Wellington at ten o clock to-night for Nelson direct. She will arrive here to-morrow morning, and leave again for Wellington by the same tide at 1.30 p.m., returning here again on Friday. The XXX commenced discharging her cargo of "notions" this morning. We understand that for the future Nelson will be the headquarters of this vessel.

The Colonial Government steamer Stella came into harbor this morning at 11 o'clock, and was berthed alongside the Government Wharf. She left here on Sunday at 8 p.m., and reached Taranaki at 11 a.m. yesterday; landed the passengers safely, and sailed again for Nelson at 4 p.m., arriving here as above: Dirty weather was experienced in the Straits last evening. The Stella comes here for the purpose of taking the Hon. Mr Larrach to Wellington, for which port she will sail to-morrow morning. Painting operations in connection with the Lady Barkly are being pushed forward vigorously, and with fine weather it is expected that she will be out of the painters' hands to-morrow evening. No expense is being spared by her owner in having her done up properly, so as to make her comfortable for passengers, and we hope that his liberality will meet with a corresponding increase in the number of passengers during the present season. Wheu finished the little steamer will look as fresh as a daisy. She is advertised to sail for Waitapu direct on Thursday morning at 6 o'clock.

A singular fatality appears to have befallen outward bound vessels lately. Hardly has one faded from the memory before another is recorded. The latest is the collision between the Celestial Queen, bound for Nelson, and a vessel called the Wansbeck, necessitating the former putting back to Portland. The Chile, bound for Auckland, is also reported to have been in collision with the Osprey, and the Cutty Sark, bound for Sydney, having been run into by a vessel unknown.
