The steamer Kennedy loft for Nelson, Westport, Greymouth and Hokitika at 7 o'clock yesterday even- ' ID Owing to the detention of the steamship Wakatipu at Port Chalmers, her departure tor Sydney has been postponed from Thursday next to Friday.

The s.s, Napier left Foxton at 11 a.m. yesterday, and arrived here at half-past 10 o’clock last night. She will sail for Foxton this afternoon. No light has yet been thrown upon what the wreck is in Palliser Bay, nor is there likely to be any until some official search takes place. A telegram was sent hero yesterday from Lyttelton asking if any ; intelligence had been received regarding the schooner Edward, of Lyttelton, which is supposed to ' have been blown up North from there. Perhaps tins might turn out to be the vessel wrecked ihi the bay, but of course to say so is mere conjecture. Some people are of opinion that the portions of the vessel found are the remains of some old wreck -which was washed up by thejrecent southerly gale, as frequently happens. The N.Z.S. Company’s Rakaia is rapidly filling up with cargo for London, considering that it is the end of the wool season. She has now on board—l33o bales wool, 11 bags do, 461 pockets do. 009 casksAallo'w, 19 - cases do, 39 casks whale oil, 255 cases preserved meats, 301 pieces timber, 3 cases hides",.B bales leather, and 34 bags do, 1 bale glue, 15 bags whalebone, 5 bales sheepskins, 4 cart loads bones. Nearly the whole of the saloon accommodation has been engaged, and she is expected to sail on the 28th inst, . The, following is a list of the passengers that 1 have booked by her :—Saloon —Mrs. Clayton and family, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Ormond, Captain and Mrs. Brady, Rev. Mr. Cooper, Mr. Hardwick ; 20 in the steerage. Messrs. Shaw, Savlil, and Co.’s barque Adamant will’finisb loading to-day, and will, it is probable, sail on Sunday morning next. The followingis a rough list of her cargo:— 2sos bales and 652 pkgs wool, 61 bales skins, 428 cases preserved meats, 656 casks and cases tallow, and 90 pkgs sundries. No saloon passengers have booked by her yet, but there are six in the second cabin and steerage. The South Australian Register says:—“A new method of raising and lowering boats has been devised, and is now being patented by Mr. John Turnbull, whose long experience amongst steamers and their appliances has afforded him facilities for perfecting the designs. Plans of the invention have been approved of by the owners of the Aldinga, and that vessel is to be fitted with it. The contrivance may be simply described as skids similar to those at present in use, but that the upper surface is furnished with a cogged rail in which run the wheels of a long truck. This truck, although very strong, is extremely light. Each end is composed of bent devils which overhang the vessel’s side when the truck is in the wing. < 'rdinary davit falls may be adapted or the patent lowering principle applied ; but as soon as the boat is raised to the height of the skids the truck is hauled on board, chocks then fit under the bilges of the boat, which is thus firmly secured, and by a very slight modification the truck may be made available for either side of the vessel. It is claimed that boats are more easily handled and secured by this means, and above all are much more easily got out and lowered. The plans have been inspected by several nautical men who highly approve of them. When adapted to the Aldinga much interest will be felt in the result."
