Aug. 15, sterner Charles Edward, 125, Wbitwell> for West Coast. . Captain Edwin roporls at 340p m. : " Bad weatbev approaching ; any direction between north-east and north and west. Glass will fall again, and wind backing within twelve hours." The Lyttelton leaves for Blenheim at 7. o'clock »bia evening. The Charles Edward arrived at Westport nt 6 o'clock this morning, and leaves there for Hokitika Tonight. The Kennedy was launched 110 feet further on Saturday, and it is expected that she will be afloat to morrow. The Murray arrived at Greymouth this morning, and leaves there for Westport this evening. The Wallace leaves Wellington to-night, will arrive here to-morrow morning, nnd sail for West Coast ports at 9 a.m. on Wednesday. ' The Taiaroa left Wellington at noon today, will arrive here early tomorrow morning, and sail for Picton, Wellington, and South at three o'clock in the Bfternoon. The. barque Victoria arrived at the outer anchorage last night, and will come into harbor this afternoon. She is from Newcastle, and brings a cargo of coal for Mr J. S. Cross. ju.Dr. The brig Syren, which left Newcastle for this port on the 29th ultimo with a cargo of coal for Messrs J. H. Cock and Co., put ■ into Sydney last week. The Wanaka arrived at Wellington early yesterday naming, and after receiving the Southern portion of the mail from the Taiaroa, sailed for Tarannki nnd Mnnnkau in the afternoon. She should reach Onehunea to-morrow in' plenty of tiniß to catch the Zealandia, which .leaves Auckland for Honolulu in the afternoon. The Richard and Mary arrived at Lyttel-' ton from Wangfliuii on Friday. From there she proceeds to Oamaru, to load with grain for Messrs Griffin and Son. The ketch Sarah and Mary, which was recently wrecked in' Tory Channel, was well known here, having sailed out of this port for some time. She was built at Havelock eight years ago for Messrs Gunderson and Glover, and was a smart little ve?sel. Now that it is known that, the City of Rome steamship is to be withiua few feet of the length of the Great Eastern, und to draw about as much water, the latter huge vessel is to be set. afc work ngain. For several years the Gre.it Eastern has been lying idle at Milford Haven, in England, a constant expense to her owners, who, however,, have be- n persuaded that it would prove less costly to let the ship lie. at anchor than to send her to sea. This seems a sorry end for what was once accounted a masterpiece of marine architecture, and it is gratifying to learn that another effort — stimnlnt.: d perhaps as we have hinted, by the building of other mpnsrer steamships — is in progress to make the Leviathan .comparatively profitable. Her paddles nro to be removed and screws substituted, and the vessel is undergoing preparations to be put into the American cnttle tmde.
