The cutter Midge sailed for Waitapu last evening. The regular trader Awaroa is advertised to sail for Wanganui at 10 a.m. to-morrow. The Ringaroonia left Melbourne for New Zealand yesterday. The Kennedy leaves for West Coast via Motueka at 8 a.m. to-morrow. The Murray left Greymonth for Westport and Nelson this morning, and will arrive here to-morrow afternoon. The Charles Edward arrived at Greymouth this morningi and will sail to-night for Westport and Nelson. • The City of New York with the San ■Francisco mail will be due at Auckland next . Wednesday. The Taiaroa arrived at Wellington at 11 ;. o'clock last night. She leaves that port for Lyttelton this afternoon. The Taranaki leaves Lyttelton for Wellington to-day. She will not call at Nelson on the upward trip, proceeding from Wellington direct to New Plymouth. The Lady Barkly is advertised to make a • trip to Motueka and back to-morrow, leaving here at 7 a.m., and Motueka on the return trip at 9-30 a.m. . The signal for a topsail schooner has been flying all the afternoon. It will probably be either the Creat of ttie Wave or Elizabeth Cutle from Oamaru, both of which are now due. The barque Woodbine was towed to sea by , the Kennedy this morning and set sail for Newcastle. She has been knocking about in the bay all the day, and when we went to press was not many miles away. The Union Company's s.s. Wellington, Captain M'Gee, arrived in harbor this morning at 8.20 o'clock. She left Wellington at 5 30 p.m. yesterday, and reached Picton. at 10 p.m.; sailed for Nelson at 11 p.m., and arrived here as above. Experienced fine weather throughout. The Wellington returns to Pictou and Wellington at 9 a.m. to-morrow. The cargo of the Chaudiere is being landed as fast as circumstances will permit. The work has been obstructed by a large number of casks of cement, consigned to Wellington, which were put on board the Ja&t thing at London to fill the vessel up, in order that she could get to sea on her appointed date of sailing. As the Nelson cargo is mixed up with the cement a good of time is lost in shifting the latter so as to get at the Nelson portion. The schooner Clio was hauled off from her dangerous position on the rocks near Clyde Quay esrly this morning, on the wind chauging to the southward, and was anchored safely out.in the bay. She was found to be making no water at all, and it is believed that she has sustained no serious damage, at the utmost, some slight injury to her false keel, and perhaps a few sheets of copper torn off. She will be taken up on Messrs Coffiey and Dixon's slip in order that the extent of damage may be ascertained and all necessary repairs effected.~Post, May 1-
