The Lady Barkly arrived from her usual trip to Golden Bay late last evening. The Charles Edward leaves Wellington for Nelson this afternoon, will arrive to-morrow, and sail for West Coast ports on Monday evening at 7 o'clock.

The Wallace will arrive from the West Coast to-morrow morning, aud sail for Wellington direct on Monday afternoon at three o'clock.

The Alhambra arrived at Melbourne from Hew Zealand on Tuesday last.

The Ringarooma left Melbourne for the Bluff on Wednesday, and will be due at the latter port to-morrow evening.

The Taranaki arrived at New Plymouth at 7 *'clock this morning.

The Kennedy sailed for West Coast ports shortly after six o'clock last evening, and arrived at Westport at two o'clock this afternoon. She was to leave for Hokitika .at 3 p.m.

The schooner Nelson arrived at Waitapu from Welllington ou Thursday last after a splendid run of eleven hours and a half from Cape Terawiti. The round trip from Waitapu to Wellington and back again was performed in six days seven hours. This time includes loading and discharging. Captain Robinson is to be congratulated upon making such excellent trips. The Nelson will again .load with timber at Waitapu.

The Arawata on her present trip to New Zealand made some good running, the log book showing 317 and 320 knots respectively for two days. The passage from Melbourne to the Bluff, wharf to wharf, was made in 3 days 22 hours, which is about as short a time as it has ever been run in. The Arawata •derived great advantage from her square canvas, which is a great help to her when the wind is anything like free. She sailed for Wellington, South, and Melbourne this afternoon shortly after three o'clock.

Erom a Dunedin paper we learn that the favorite old steamer Ladybird is once more to be put into commission, and will be placed in the West Coast trade in conjunction with the Tatanaki and Wellington. Although this old steamer has been superseded by the more modern boats, she was generally looked upon as a comfortable vessel to travel in, and .her taking up the running in her old trade will be hailed with pleasure by those who lhare to make the journey fey sea. The Directors of the Union Company |iair<e token this step in consequence of the increased jpassenger traffic during the summer months.
