The barque Primera, bound to Loudon, full of cargo and passengers, left the harbor yesterday at H a.m„ with a strong fair wind. The bars on the West ‘.Coast, particularly those of Greymouth and Hokitika, have been during the past month in a very lamentable condition. At Greymonth several vessels have been detained for weeks inside the bar owing to the very shallow water, including the s.s. Murray, which only got out a few days ago. Hokitika was in as bad a state, for there two channels divided the bar, one going out to the south-east and the other along the beach to the 1 north, both being perfectly unnavigable. Fifteen vessels wore lying prisoners inside the .bar there awaiting some improvement in the bar till Thursday last, when several of them managed to cross it. A telegram received in town last evening, however, stated that the bars on the Coast were improving. A heavy fresh is said to be what is wanting to make those harbors navigable. ' , The Orari is the next vessel that is expected to arrive here from London. She left there on the Sth June last, and is now fully due.
