The Awaroa leaves Wanganui to-morrow night for Nelson. The Pelorus arrived from Kaveloek yesterday afternoon. The Wallace will sail for Wanganui at 7 p.m. The Murray will leave Wnilara for IS T e!sou to-morrow. The Ocean Bird left LjtleUon for Waitapu on Thursday last. The Arswata, with the Suez mail, arrived at the Bluff thia morning. The Hawea arrived at Onehunga yesterday morning. Maori, which is now on the "West Coast, will probably arrive here to-morrow. The cutter Dauntless, bound from Nelson to West Wanganui, was the only vessel lying at Totarauui yesterday. The Clio sailed from Waitapu on Wednesday last, and arrived at Lyttelton early yesterday morning. The Forest Queen, from Wellington, arrived at the former port on Saturdav morning. The Wellinglon left Wellington at 1 p.m. to-day, will arrive here to-morrow morning, and return to Picton and Wellington by the same tide at 1 p.m. The Kennedy !eft Wellington at midnight on Saturday, and experienced a smart breeze across the Straits, arriving here at 1.30 p.m. yesterday. She sails for West Coast ports this afternoon. The Charles Edward arrived alongside the Albion Wharf at 9 p.m. on Satnrday. She left Nelson at 9 a.m. on the 11th instant, and experienced strong S.W. winds to Westport, arriving there at 9 30 a.m. on the 12th; left at 10 p.m. same day, and arrived at Hokitika at 8-30 a.m. on Tuesday; sailed at 1030 a.m. on Wednesday for Greymouth, arriving there by the same tide; left at noon on Friday, and arrived at Westport at 930 p.m. same day; sailed at 1 1 p,m same tide, and experienced strong N.W. winds and heavy sea, thence S.W. winds. The Charles Edward returns to the Coast at 3 p.m. to-morrow. The steamer St. Kilda, Capt. Fiowerday, bound from Wanganui to GreyrnoiHh with live stock, put into harbor this morning short of coal. She left Wanganui on Friday at 12.30 p.m., but being uuable to round the Spit, ran into Totaranui on Saturday; left there at 8 a.m. yesterday, but when the steamer had got as far as Cape Farewell it was found that there was not sufficient coal in her bunkers to carry her on to Greymouth, and Captain Flowerday accordingly turned round and came- on to Nelson, arriving off the Boulder Bank at 5 a.m , and coming into harbor at 9 a.m. After getting her bunkers replenished the St. Kilda sailed for Greymouth at 1.30 p.m., but it is doubtful whether she will get round the Spit, as there is a strong S.W. wind blowing outside. The Alhambra arrived in harbor at 10 a.m. yesterday. She left Melbourne on the Bth instant, and after experiencing moderate weather, arrived off Hokitika on Wednesday morning; was tendered by the Waipara, which made two trips out to the ocean steamer, but when entering the river on the second trip the tug got ashore. As there was no probability of her coming off to the Alhambra for some time Captain Muir proceeded on to Greymouth but was compelled to leave there without landing the cargo some 75 tons— for that port. While coming down Hobson's Bay the^Alhambra was very nearly run down by a steamer bound for Sydney, and which was trying to get out of the Heads before the Alhambra. After discharging the Greymouth portion of her cargo into the Tararua she sailed for Wellington, South, and Melbourne at 1 p.m. to-day. The harbor yesterday and to-day presented a gay and animated appearance. This morning there were no less than ten steamers and two barques, besides a number of small vessels in port. The lumpers on the different wharves were busily engaged all the day in discharging the vessels. Altogether I such a bustling scene has not occurred here for a long time past. The only regretis that the weather was not fine yesterday, as no doubt there would have been a large number of visitors to the port to witness this unusual ! occurrence. The Tararua came into harbor yesterday morning at ten o'clock. She left Sandridge Railway Pier at 11 a.m. on the 7th, and arrived at Hobarton at 6 a.m. on the 9th; sailed at 8 p.m. same day, and reached the Bluff at 1 p.m. on the 13th; left at 3 p.m. on the 14th, and arrived at Port Chalmers at 6 a.m. on the Isth; sailed at 4.35. p.m., and reached Lytteltoa at 9 a.m. on the lGth; aud left at 4.10, p.m., and arrived at Wellington at 9 a.m. on Saturday; sailed at 5.30. p.m., came round the Island, and arrived here as

score, Experienced light variable winds and Cue wfcather along the Coast. In consequence ol having but very little cargo iu for Melbourne the Tararua was compelled to take 41 tons of ballast to keep her steady. After receiving this she sailed for Melbourae via >> eat Coast ports at 1 p.m.
