The Wellington left Wellington this afternoon, and will arrive here early to-morrow morning. She sails for Picton and Wellington at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The Richard and Mary arrived at Wellington from Nelson yesterday, after a passage of seven days, the length of which waa caused by bad weather. The Bchooner May is discharging her cargo of "black diamonds" at the Commercial Wharf, and the cutter Dauntless is landing the same article at Franzen's wharf. On Saturday last the Wallace did some tall steaming, she having accomplished the distance between here and Motueka in an hour and a half. When the May left West Wanganui the Elizabeth Curie was there loaded waiting for the tides to make so that she can get across the bar. Her destination is Wellington. e -'.The Awaroa had to. drop her anchor on Saturday afternoon in consequence of the wind falling light: She got a chance in the evening, when a light breeze sprang up which enabled her to secure a good offing. There are as yet no-signs of the two colliers from Newcastle. Bad weather may be the cause of their non-arrival, as we see by the Wellington papers that the brig Robiu Hood, which arrived at that port on Friday last, was 23 days on the passage from Newcastle. The ship Loch Ard, which was wrecked near Cape Otway on the 3rd, was built at Scotstown in 1873, and consequently was five years old. She was a ship of 1624 tons register, and was owned by Mr James Aitken, of Glasgow. A company has been formed atPatea, with a capital of £6000, to purchase a steamboat to trade between Patea, Nelson, and Wellington. Tenders are to he called for the building of a suitable boat. The title of the company is •• Patea Steam Navigation Company." -
