The Lyttelton left for Blenheim at eight 0 clock last evening, and should arrive there this afternoon. The Kennedy returned to port this afterBoon. She sails again for West Coast ports at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning. The Ringarooma wns advertised to leave •Melbourne for New Zealand to-day. ; The Awaroa may. be expected to arrive here-from Wanganui to-morrow. The Wanganni bar is reported to have been in a bad state lately. The Stormbird wasbarbound there.for three days. - The Tararoa sailed at 4.30 -g.m. yesterday for Melbourne via West Coast ports, but her arrival at Westport is not yet reported. The Wellington arrived at Wellington early this morning. She leaves there on the return tripto-morrow, arriving here early on Friday morning. ---. .:>The,Woodbine hove up anchor this morning, and set sail for Newcastle. Favored by ajight S.Wv wind she soon secured a good offing, and at the time of our going to press was hull.down. , The Lady Barkly will make a trip to Motueka and back to-morrow, leaving here at 1 p.m. and Motueka on the return trip at 4 p.m. The Arawaia, with the Suez mail, arrived a*,-Port Chalmers. She will reach Wellington on Friday, morning, aad leave in the afternoon of the same day on the return trip. The Taiaroa left Onehunga yesterday afternoon, and as the sea was moderate off New Plymouth to-day she would probably land her passengers and cargo. She will arrive here early to-morrow morning, and sail for Wellington and South by the same tide at 7a.m. In connection with tbe doings of this steamer the telegraph has been silent of late, her arrival at Onehunga not having been telegraphed. .Several vessels which have arrived in the colony lately from the old country, report an almost entire absence of the " brave westerlies" while crossing the Southern Ocean. This is rather an unusual thing, and makes a wonderful difference in the length of the voyage, as is exemplified by the passage of the Soukar—by the by a clipper—which arnved at Lyttelton on Saturday, being then 120 days out: The Craigmullen, which arrived at Wellington on Monday, took 116 days to come out. Under these circumstances it ik probable that the Kentish Tar has fallen in with the same kind of weather, and if so she may hardly be looked for until next week.
