The Ringarooma arrived at the Bluff at 8 o'clock this morning. The Taranalci arrived at Onehunga from New 'Plymouth at 6 a.m. yesterday. The Wallace arrived from West Coast ports yesterday morning, and sailed for Wellington this afternoon. The Charles Edward arrived from Wellington yesterday morning, and leaves for West Coast ports this evening. The Kennedy arrived at Hokitika this morning, and will sail for Nelson via Greymo.ith and Westporfc to-night. The Midge arrived from Waitapu on Saturday, after a good passage, she having left there on the morning of that day. A fore-and-aft schooner painted black was lying at Totaranui on Saturday when the Midge passed.

The ketch XXX is -loading with timber at Anahau, a small place between Waitapu and Collingwood.

The schooner Waihopai, which went ashore on the rocks at Wellington Heads some time ago, has broken in two. Men are busily engaged securing the copper and bolts. Captain R. A. Edwin reports: — "Watch barometer. Bad weather approaching- any direction between norfcQ and west and south, west, and further fall of glass." The Murray hauled off the cradle this morning, and waa berthed alongside the Albion Wharf, where she received her boiler, which had been placed on the wharf to facliitate operations in repairing it. The Murray will be ready for sea in the course of a few days.

The Arawata made a good run across to Wellington, having arrived there late on Saturday evening. She must have carried the S.W. wind with which she left here the whole way across. The Arawata leaves the Empire City for Southern ports at noon today.

The Arawata took away on Saturday afternoon the largest number of passengers that have left Nelson iu one bottom this season. Being the first of M'Meckan and Blackwood's boats to call here siuce the reduction of 30 per cent on double fares was announced, a. large number of people took advantage of the occasion to have a change of air by visiting different parts of the colony. The -A-rawata also had on board a fair cargo £ roin this port.

The Awaroa arrived from Wanganui this morning, too late for the tide, and she consequently came to an anchor. The wind then commenced to blow hard from the westward, and soon brought down a lumpy sea. As it was rather unpleasant riding afc anchor, the Awaroa got under weigh immediately the tide ceased ebbing, but Captain Greager not liking the look of it after he had run down to the Bell Buoy, made a tack out to sea, and then came into harbor. The Awaroa has again made a good passage from Wanganui, having left there yesterday morning.
