The Wanganui sailed for Westport and Greymouth yesterday afternoon, and arrived - at the former port at 11 a.m. to day. The total number of wrecks reported for the present year, to date April 5, amounted - to 545. The Taiaroa, with the San Francisco mail, left Onehunga at 10.40 a.m to-day. She will arrive here to-morrow afternoon", and sail for Picton and Wellington shortly afterwards. The Wellington sailed for Picton and Wellington at 5 p.m yesterday, and arrived at the latter port this morning. She leaves there to-morrow, and will arrive here on Friday morning. The was an unusually high tide at Hokitika last night, and the opportunity was seized to make an attempt to float the Kennedy, whicb, we are glad to learn, proved completely successful, and she now lies at the wharf safe and sound. She sails for Nelson direct this evening. The R.M.S. Australia arrived at Auckland this morning with the San Francisco mails, and the Southern portion was at once despatched to Onehunga, whence the Taiaroa sailed for Nelson at 10-40 a.m. The steamer Grafton made a trial trip at Wellington on Saturday last The speed attained was nine kno.s. Her engines are on the compound principle, the high pressure cylinder being IBin. in diameter, and the low pressure cylinder 34in. in diameter, with a 20m. stroke. The engines made 112 revolutions per minute on the trial trip, and with a pressure of 50 lbs steam the measure knot was ran in 6 minutes. The Grafton sailed for Westport and Greymouth on Saturday * night. Captain Frazer, late of the Luna, is in charge of her. The tonnage loading on the berth at London April 10, for India/ China, and the oape of Good Hope, amounted to 47,168 tons and for Australia and New Zealand to 55,351 tons. A fair demand for vessels from .London to the colonies still continues, and there is an enquiry for one or two steamers for the East. Home freights are still nrm. , It appears that the Spec has fared even worse than we reported yesterday. According to her master's statement she was just on the point of crossing the Wanganui bar, tbe Awaroa having crossed it a few minutes previously, when the signal was run up from the shore: "Bar dangerous; put to sea." lhe bpec was now among the breakers, and in rounding her to she was pooped by a huge wave,which carried away the companion, and flooded the cabin with water, besides doing other damage on deck. The provisions were spoilt, having been saturated with salt water, and a fresh supply was obtained from Awaroa on Monday. The Spec has had part of her damages repaired while lying at Tonga, and was to leave there for Wanganui yesterday.
