She was delayed last night, and left at 4 p.m. to-day for the North, with the Dunedin football team", on board.—Lsetitia, for . Jtapiex.— - The inquiry into the running down of the ketch Quiver by the Taranaki was concluded to-day. The inquiry was held'before Mr. Donald,, E.M., and Captain Worster, Nautical Assessor. At the close of the evidence, the Bench complimented Mr. Anderson, the chief-officer of the Taranaki, upon the manner in which he had given his evidence, and'returned his certiflcate, saying that there was no blame to be. attached to him. The formal judgment will be delivered to-morrow, the Taranaki being exonerated.' It is with extreme regret that !we learn from a private telegram received yesterday from Dunedin that Captain Griffiths, of the s.s. Taranaki, is very dangerously ill; in fact, he was not, when the message left, expected to survive many hours. . He has " been suffering for some time with congestion of the lnngs; but yesterday his illness took a very dangerous turn, and three doctors were in attendance on him. The many friends of Captain Griffiths must receive .the above intelligence with sorrow;-for he i 3 both liked and respected.by all who know him, and is one of the most popular commanders-that run on the coa«t. . ..

I The s.s. Tararua is expected to arrive here from Melbourne and Hobarton, via the South to-morrow. The s.s. Taranaki was detained on Thursday night at Lyttelton, consequently' she did not arrive here yesterday. She willra'rrive here to-day, and sail for Northern ports at 2 o'clock same'afternoon. ■ The schooner Nelson, with a full eargo of sawn timber from Waitapu, arrived in harbor yesterday at Oa.m. • -—..•* ■ ... The s.s. Wallabi .arrived in harbor from Wanganui at 3 a.m yesterday, left there at 9.30 a.m. the previous day ; crossed the bar at 10 a.m., and experienced light northerly winds down till arrival as above mentioned. The Wallabi will go on the'Slip to-day to receive her periodical overhaul. -. * * The barque Robina Dunlop, which has lying . at the outer anchorage during the past week,*will, if the wind is favorable, sail for Batavxa to-'day. The two English ships Endymion arid Glenlyon commenced discharging yesterday morning, and during the day turned out a large quantity of cargo in good condition. The a.s. Tui arrived from Kaikoura and Lyttelton at 12 o'clock last night.- She left Lyttelton at 8 p.m. -on the oth; arrived at Kaikoura at S a.m. on the .' 10th. Sailed again at noon same day, and arrived here as above. Experienced light S.E. winds. The Tui will sail for Foxton this: afternoon. The p.s. Manawatu left Wanganui late on Thursday night. She was under charter by the Government to go to Blind Bay and Farewell Spit in search of the two missing boats of the Queen Bee. TJp to the time of our going to press this morning she had not shown up in port. The s.s. Stormbird left Napier at 5.30 p.m. on Thursday last, had a W.N.W. wind, and rounded - Cape Palliser at 4.30.p.m. yesterday, arriving here -at 8.30 last night. Captain Doile reports sighting a schooner off Flat Point, supposed .to be the Aurora ; also the three-masted schooner Silver Cloud, bound from Newcastle to Napier. The Stormbird will sail for Wanganui to-day. - ~ The new harbor works at Napier are now beginning to show some good results in the improvement of the port. The local Herald says that it was observed on the Sth instant that a greater flow of water found its way out through the newly - formed channel than througl* the channel to the westward at the port; in fact there was a very large flow of water in the ehannel, running straight out. This is a decided indication of the good effect of the harbor works; and we trust that they may still continue to show good results, and finally make a good harbor of our port.
