The Lyttelton arrived at Blenheim from Nelson at 10 o'clock this morning. The Murray left Westporfc at 9.30 last night, and will arrive this evening. _ The Kennedy left at 8 o'clock this morning for West Coast ports via Motueka. A topsail schooner has heen signalled all aay. As the Elizabeth Curie is the only vessel of that description that is expected here, it is almost sure to he her. The Charles Edward left Greymouth for Westport this morning, and will leave Westport at 10 o'clock to-nigh fc, arriving here to-morrow evening. She proceeds to Wellirgton on Monday at 6 p.m. The schooner Awaroa sailed for Wanganui this morning with a full cargo, but on account of the absence of winds made but little progress during the day. The topsail schooner signalled yesterday proved to be the Crest of the Wave from Oamaru. She came into harbor this morning, and was berthed alongside the Albion Wharf, where she will commence discharging cargo on Monday morning. Her cargo consists of fcreadstuffs. The Martha Reid finished discharging cargo this morning, and took in ballast. She will probably get to sea to-morrow. Her destination is Greymouth. The Wellington sailed for Picton and Wellington this morning. She leaves the latter port on the return trip on Monday irorning, and from Picton will proceed direct to Collingwood for the purpose df landing a number of passengers, she having been chartered for that purpc c. The Wellington will reach here on Tuesday morning, and Bail for Picton and Wellington by the same tide at 1130. The smart little steamer Wallace is announced to take up her running on Monday next, when she will sail for Wanganui. It is now a month since this steamer was laid up, and advantage was taken of this opportunity to have her thoroughly scraped and painted, and the result is that she now looks as fresh as a daisy. Some short time ago a deputation from Taranaki waited upon the Manager of the Union Steamship Company on his recent visit to that port relative* to the steamers calling at New Plymouth on Sundays, thereby causing a few of that place to desecrate the Sabbath. The manager promised to take the matter into consideration, and the result is that one steamer will not call at Nelson on the upward trip, but will proceed from Wellington direct to Taranaki. As this steamer leaves Wellington to-day, and consequently will arrive off New Plymouth to-morrow we fail to ccc how this new arrangement will alter the existing state of tilings.
