She will arrive here to-morrow, and sail for Picton, Wellingtons? ■ and South shortly after arrival. [% i The Charles Edward arrived from Wef^|; lington last evening at 7 o'clock. In con- 1 : nection with her departure from Wellington the Telegraph authorities perpetrated an egregious blunder, she having been posted up as leaving there at 10 p.m. on Monday, The steamer was advertised to leave at the above stated time, but at that hour Captain Whitweli found it so dark that he deemed it prudent to wait until yesterday morning, when the Charles Kdward left shortly after b\x- o'clock. This is not the first time that we have had to complain of the carelessness of the authorities in regard to shipping matters, and we hope that they will be more careful for the future. The Charles Edward sailed for West Coast ports this afternoon. The s.s. Murray returned to harbor this morning from West Coast ports.
