The steamers Stormbird and Manawatu arrived at Wanganui yesterday at 12.30 p.m. yesterday. They were expected to get out again on last night's tide, and if so, they will arrive here to-day. The ship Sarah Bell beat up from the fairway yesterday morning and came to an anchor off the wharf. She will haul into No. 3 berth at the wharf to-day. The s.s. Albion's departure for Melbourne via the South has been postponed till to-morrow., The Union Steam Shipping Company have decided to adopt a flag for the purpose of signalising any of their boats when approaching a harbor, It is square, and divided alternately in bands of red and white. The departure of the Matau for Foxton has been postponed till to-day. Tenders from sailmakers and carpenters are invited in another column for repairs to the barque Pym. Her bulwarks have suffered very considerably on her recent voyage, as also has her canvas. The schooner Colonist, with a cargo of colonial produce, arrived here yesterday morning from Lyttelton. She experienced very heavy weather. Mr. E. Pearce's topsail schooner Marmion, Captain Bawton, arrived here yesterday from Kaipara with a cargo of timber. She left Kaipara on Monday afternoon, and had light easterly wind till Wednesday, when it freshened up from the South, and continued so till arrival. The s.s. Napier, Captain Butt, left Foxton at noon on Wednesday, and experienced strong southerly wind till arrival here at 5 p.m. yesterday. Reports the ketch Forest Queen, from this port, on the Manawatu bar. Messrs. Ayer and Roberts, of Lyttelton, have recently imported a steam yacht. Speaking of her the Canterbury Press says Messrs. Yarrow and Co., of Poplar, London, were entrusted with its construction, and completed the work last September; but a difficulty then arose, as. owing to the great bulk of the launch and the class of vessels trading here, no means of transit could be procured for twenty-three weeks At the expiration of that time it was shipped on board the Desdemona, and arrived here in excellent order. The launch is of iron, 50ft. long, with lift, beam, and a depth of Cft. 4in., and only draws 2ft. 91n., and is therefor© capable of visiting any part of the harbor. She has accommodation for between fifty and sixty persons, and there ■will be none of the dirt flying about as usual In vessels of her class, as the engines in the centre of the boat are bulkhcaded from the fore and after compartments where the passengers are accommodated. She has a half deck, with a lOin, combing fore and aft, and has twin screws worked by double engines of nine-horse power. On Monday, June 26th, the launch took place, and the vessel was christened the Lyttelton. On her [trial trip she averaged a speed of nine knots an hour.
