This proved to be a hoax, no vessel of that name having yet arrived at Lytteltou.

The Robin Hood will be ready for ze-j. tonight, and will probably sail for Newcastle to-morrow. The Waitaki makes nn excursion from "Wellington to Picton to-morrow. The Kennedy arrived in harbor at 7 a.m. to-day, having left Wellington at 7:50 p.m. yesterday, thus making a smart passage of 11$ hours. She sails for West Coast ports at 2 p.m. to-morrow. The Albion arrived at the Bluff from Melbourne on Monday morning. The Wakatu left' Wellington for Wanganui on Monday night, but when off Terawhiti the wind and sea proved too much for her and she returned to port. She left again yesterday afternoon, and reached Wanganui this morning, sailing for Nelson st noon. The Wakatu will arrive here to-morrow morning, and sail for Motueka at 7 a.m. returning here with excursionists. The Agnes Irving, reported in our telegrams yesterday as having been wrecked at Macley Heads, N.S.W., was a paddle steamer of 140 h.p., & 333 toua register. She was owned by the Clarence and Richmond Bivers Steam Navigation Company. When the Rotomahana left here at six o'clock on Friday night it was thought by ■ome that she would not get through the French Pass before the steamer Wellington, «h left fully an hour before her. Howshe was overtaken by the Rotomahana he CroixelieK, and although doing 11 i an hour she was passed as if at anchor, when the big steamer went through the at 8 p.m. the Wellington's Bmoke was •een a long way behiud.
