Juhc IS.—Arrived : Rio Logo, brig, from Liverpool, 100 (lava out. She made the passage from Tristan d’Acunha to the W'est Cape by dead reckoning, the chronometer having been found to be useless. Francis, barque, from Boston, via Melbourne. She loads here for Boston. The schooner Falcon arrived in harbor at S p.m. last night from the W'airau with a general cargo and ten passengers, and brought up at Flimmcr’s wharf. The master's report states that a strong easterly gale was experienced during the run across, with heavy sea in the Strait. The Falcon will return to Blenheim to'morrow evening. The barque Chcvert was brought alongside the wharf yesterday from her anchorage, and naturally excited’interest after the late proceedings in connection with her. Her breadth of beam is greater than is usual in vessels of her size, and which is accounted for by the fact that she was originally meant to be a man-of-war. After the verdict of Captain Holliday, her seaworthiness can hardly be questioned, but her general fittings, and more especially her rigging, do not appear to be in first-class condition. She will receive her repairs as she lies at the wharf, and they will bo thorough before she puts to sea again.

The steamers Stormbird and Manawatu were yesterday telegraphed as having arrived early from ■Wellington, the recent bad weather having again necessitated their seeking a port of shelter on the way up. The Stormbird sailed from Wanganui for Wellington in the afternoon, and would reach here by daylight. She will load to-day a general cargo, and proceed to Napier, the Rangatira having been obliged to leave so much behind on her Last trip that further communication has been rendered necessary. The Rangatira arrived at Napier at an early hour yesterday morning, having left Wellington on Monday evening. The English ships in harbor are taking advantage of the spare time to get partly overhauled. > The Wennington is receiving a fresh coat of composition. The schooner Fiery Cross is still lying out in the stream, waiting for a slant to get out on her way to Napier, with piles and other railway material. The ketch Elizabeth cleared yesterday for Havelock, with a cargo of iron and tallow, and was to sail during the night. The barque Anne and Jane was brought up to the wharf in the evening, the repairs which had been made to her being finished. The brigantine Seabird was yesterday moved round from her berth at the wharf, having put out all her timber, and is now loading alongside the Anne Melhuish. with a cargo of pipe?, which she will take direct to Hokitika. When her loading is completed, the barque will not have many of the pipes left. The brigantine Enterprise hau almost finished loading at the'breastwork, and will shortly bo ready for a start to the West Coast.

The brigantine Cleopatra and schooner Florence are also at the breastwork, whe re the ketch Thames is also lying, loading railway iron. The steamer Wellington arrived at Lyttelton on Wednesday afternoon, and was to sail in the evening for Wellington. The Claud has reached Nelson, and was to leave there at midnight, so that both she and the Wellington may be expected alongside the wharf during the day. His Excellency’s yacht Blanche has left ISelson, and will probably call at Pictou on her way to Wellington. The 3.3. Claud Hamilton, from Melbourne, arrived at Nelson yesterday morning early. She would leave again about midnight, and will probably arrive in Wellington harbor about four o’clock. The Sydney Morning Herald, of the 29th ultimo, reports that “the Eliza and Fawn, both from New Zealand ports, have had to contend against the heavy weather from the south-west that has prevailed for the last fortnight. Their passages have been prolonged in consequence."

The twin-screw steamer Ino returned to Hokitika on Saturday afternoon, with a cargo of coal, from Greymouth. The little craft has on board forty tons dead weight on her present trip, which she carries on a light draught of water. Owing to the Ngakawha being unnavigable at present, the Ino wall most likely trade from this port for a time—principally between here and Greymouth—or to any other place along the coast where her sendees may be required. She is a handy little vessel, and is described by Captain Black as an excellent sea boat, and well adapted for shallow bar harbors. —Westland Register. Tire brigantine Isabella, which is to arrive here in a day or two, from Wellington, has, wc notice by telegram, been sold to a firm in the North Island, who intend turning her into a whaler. This vessel had almost become an institution here, it now being some seven or eight years since her first arrival from the Australian Colonies, and she has during that time been constantly engaged in the trade of the port, either as a lighter for the Melbourne steamers, or in conveying goods from the other Provinces. Whilst engaged as a lighter, and at the time being at anchor in the roadstead, she was driven ashore during a heavy gale from the westward, but was afterwards got off, not a whit the worse, although she- received so severe a handling as would have materially damaged a vessel less strongly built. Her new owners, if they •have not become possessed of the prettiest model in the Colonies, have at lean* a stout and comfortable craft, and one well suited to the trade in which it is intended to place her. —WeaUomd Rc'jiHtcr. The Harbor Master at Oarnaru states in his annual report that the rocket apparatus worked by the boatmen has during the past year been the means of rescuing twenty-eight men from wrecked vessels, viz., Margaret Campbell, 7 : Emile, 9 ; and Scotsman, 12 men; the greater portion of whom would have perished had no apparatus been available, as the vessels foundered a considerable distance from the beach, and soon broke up. •
