The Wallace leaves for Wanganui at 5 p.m. on Monday. The Lyttelton leaves for Blehheim at noon to-morrow. The Charles Edward will leave Westport for Hokitika this evening, weather permitting. The Murray was off New Plymouth this morning, but owing to a heavy sea could not communicate. The Lady Barkly arrived from Golden Bay -last evening, and made a trip to Motueka and back to-day. The schooner Nelson has had a new mainmast ■ put in her at Napier, and has again resumed her running. Nothing is known of the whereabouts of the Macri, but she will probably arrive here on Monday morning. She sails for Lyttelton, Timaru, and Dunedin, the same day. The Kennedy reports a heavy sea and strong northerly wind at Westport. She will sail for Nelson as soon as the weather moderates, probably this evening or to-mor-sow morning. The barque Kentish Tar, now 91 days out from London, ought to put in an appearance here some time next week. A telegram was received this morning by Messrs N. Edwards & Co., the Nelson agents for the Orient line of steamers, stating that the Cuzco broke her main shaft on the 28th of May. On the Bth June she was seen under canvas 500 miles south of Cape Otway, making either for Otway or Portland. The Wellington sailed for Picton and Wellington shortly before nine o'clock this morning, and will reach the latter port this •rening. She leaves there on the return trip on Monday afternoon, arriving here on Tuesday morning. . There were no arrivals among the coasting feet to-day, although the weather was a freat improvement on yesterday. The departures comprised one, that of the Planet, which sailed for Motueka thi3 afternoon, notwithstanding that there was a heavy sea running on the bar. The grtater portion of the cargo of the Waratab is now on board, and the vessel will sail for Hobarton in the early part of next week. This will he the first cargo of potatoes that has heen sent direct to Hobarton and we hope it is only the precursor of many more such shipments. Time was when vessels came direct from Hobarton to Nelson with potatoes. The Taiaroa sailed for Wellington and South at 7 p.m. yesterday, hut on account of the thick weather Captain Wheeler did not ieem it prudent to steam straight ahead, and the Taiaroa came to an anchor off the Lighthouse, where she remained until early this morning, when she steamed on to Wellington.
