Capt. Edwin reports:—" Watch barometer; bad weather approaching; any direction between north and west and south-west. Glass will show further fall." The Lyttelton leaves for Blenheim tomorrow at 2 p.m. The Wallace's departure for Wellington, on account of the dirty weather, is postponed till 4 p.m. to-morrow. The Patea leaves Wellington this evening, will arrive here to-morrow morning, and sail for Patea at 5 p.m The Murray arrived at Greyraouth from Hokitika to-day. She reports bad weather coming on and sea making. The Richard and Mary finished discharging cargo last evening, and is now alongside of the hulk Hera taking in a quantity of coal. The Awaroa was ready to sail for Wanganui last evening, but owing to the bad state of the weather her departure was postponed. The Taiaroa left New Plymouth at noon to-day, will arrive here to-morrow morning, and sail for Picton and Wellington by the same tide at 11 o'clock. The Claud Hamilton left Greymouth at half -past two this afternoon, will arrive here to-morrow about mid-day, and sail for Wellington on Saturday. Ihe Lady Barkly returned from Golden Bay yesterday afternoon. Owing to the unpropitious state of the weather she did not start for Motueka to-day, but will leave for that place at 7 a.m. to-morrow. The vessels which were lying under the lee of Tata Islands last week, have ali taken their departure. As the wind has been blowing from the S.E. there all the week it is probable that they have succeeded in rounding the Spit. The Kennedy, Captain Palmer, left Nelson with the San Francisco mail on Saturday, the 15th March, for West Coast ports, and arrived at Westport on Sunday : discharged cargo and sailed for Greymouth the 6ame evening, arriving there next morning early ; was compelled to remain there on account of the shallowness of the bar until Friday, the 21st, when she left for Hokitika, arriving there by the same tide ; returned to Greymouth by the next morning's^tide, and was again de*tained there until Tuesday last to bring up the outward San Francisco mail, when she sailed for Westport, arriving there the same day ; left Westport for Nelson yesterday at noon, and arrived here at 7 30 this morning. The Kennedy returns to the West Coast tomorrow afternoon. The Suez mail steamer having arrived at Melbourne in advance of her time, the Arawata bas been enabled to leave tbat port with the New Zealand portion of the mails on the date fixed for her sailing. It will be remembered that last month the mail steamer made a long passage, and in order to save time the Arawata steamed down Hobson's Bay and met the steamer inside the Heads. This detained the latter an hour and a half, which raised a cry from the Melbourne merchants through the local papers. Messrs McMeckan and Blackwood, the former owners of the Arawata, replied warmly in the columns of the Argus, pointing out the advantages that New Zealand merchants and others would derive from this arrangement, and concluded by stating that as New Zealand paid a large share of the subsidy it was entitled to some consideration.
