The Lyttelton arrived at Blenheim from Nelson at 11 a.m. yesterday. _The Charles Edward is still detained at Weatport by a heavy S.W. gale. The Grafton is also there. ; - The Wallace arrived from Wellington this morning, and towed in the Chaudiere. She returns to same port at 6 p.m. to-morrow. The Murray arrived at Wanganui at noon yesterday... She is detained there by a heavy S.W. gale and sea. TheNorwegwian barque Kvik left Newcastle for the South. Sea Islands at the beginning of the present month. The Dido is now alongside the Commercial Wharf, where, we understand, Bhe will load with timber for Patea. ' The Wakatipu arrived at Wellington from Sydney this morning. The Wanganui leaves Wellington this afternoon, will arrive here to-morrow morning, and sail for Westport and Greymouth at 9 p.m. The Taiaroa leaves Wellington this afternoon, will arrive here to-morrow morning, arid sail for Picton and Wellington by the came tide at noon. The Wanganui bar was in a very bad state last week. Several sailing vessels, including the Awaroa, are barbound, the latter having been waiting ten days for a chance to get out. In its shipping summary for the month the New Ztalander says :— We may also state that N. Edwards and Co.'a trim- built paddle steamer Charles Edward is again in commission, after a thorough overhaul, and re-fitting with new boiler at the firm's yards m- Nelson. At Messrs Moutray & Crosbie's yard in the same port, a new coasting steamer is about being launched, and report speaks highly of. her lines, steam power, and carrying capacity. At the final attempt to raise and beach the Taupo, commenced by means of hydraulic lifts, work can only proceed slowly. Several days must elapse before the result can be known. The contractors last Tuesday obtained the ÜBe of the 100-ton hydraulic lift from the Auckland Harbor Board. A letter from New York, which appears m theOtaffo Daily Time*, gives anything but a glowing picture of a voyage in the City of Sydney from Auckland to San Francisco, deferring to the hurricane which the vessel encountered, and which has already been described in our columns, the writer saya that the vessel proved of too slight construction for a stormy sea. He adds :— " As regards the comfort ot the ship at other times, I cannot say much in her favor. The dining saloon on the main deck had two decks above it, and was so low down that the ports could never be opened. It was consequently a perfect oven, with the themorneter standing at9odeg. to 95deg. Everyone looked forward with horror to the hour for meals. Some, especially ladies, could never go down to dinner, while others merely took a hasty mouthful and hurried away. The food was bad j the meat tough, badly cooked, and cold. Everything ot the cheapest had been put on board, down to the very walnuts,

which were all rotten. The attendance was of the worst description, especially in the cabins. Bottles of wine and spirits were frequently stolen from the saloons and cabins, and articles of dress also from the latter. I think the purser might have conduced more to the comfort of the passengers than he did, instead of having nightly uproarious singing parties in his cabin, or in front of it. Great annoyance was also caused by his arbitrarily assigning new seats to all the passengers after they had occupied the same seat for several meals. This is a most extraordinary proceeding. The captain was appealed to, but he declined to interfere, saying that he aud the purser had the privilege of placing whom they pleased at their own tables. This was the answer given even to invalids who desired to remain near the stairs, in hopes of getting a little air in that suffocating den. Altogether the ship and her arrangements compared most unfavorably with, those of the P. and O. Company and other great Hues. A testimonial (couched in rather " highfalutin" terms) was given to the captain for his conduct during the hurricane, but all mention of the ship was carefully avoided."
