The Kennedy is still weather bound at Waitara. The Wallace leaves Wanganui for Nelson to-day. The Murray reports a heavy sea and unsettled weather at Hokitika. It was blowing so hard from the northwest in Wellington last night that the Charles Edward was unable to leave. It is supposed however, that she got away this morning. The Awaroa arrived from Wanganui at high ■water this afternoon. The Wellington left Wellington at 1 p.m. to-day, will arrive here to-morrow morning, and return to Pieton and Wellington at 11 a.m. on Saturday. The Taiaroa was unable to communicate with the shore at New Plymouth this morning, and passed on to Nelson at 8 a.m. She will arrive here this evening, and sail for Wellington and South by the same tide at 11 p.m. The Arawata leaves Wellington this evening, and will arrive here at noon to-morrow. She will remain here until Saturday, when she will return to Melbourne via Wellington and South with the outward Suez mail at noon. The Lyttelton, which for some time past has been undergoing repairs opposite the Anchor Foundry, is now ready for sea. She has been thoroughly overhauled, and all plates showing the least defect were removed and replaced by new ones. Added to this she has been scraped and painted all over, special attention being paid to the cabin. She will take up the running in her old trade on Saturday.
