Taranaki arrived here from Northern ports at an early hour yesterday morning. She left the Mannkau at 1.30 p.m. on the 6th, crossed the bar at 3.30 p.m., and arrived off Taranaki at 6.15 a.m. on the 27th; left at 10 a.m., and arrived at Nelson at 2.30 a,m. on the 29th ; left again at 3 p.m. same day, and arrived in harbor as above stated. The Taranaki sailed for Sonthem ports at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon,' The s.s. Taiaroa, from Lyttelton, arrived here at 11 am. yesterday, having left thereat 4p.m. the previous day.

The steamer Grafton left Lyttelton at 1 p.m. on Thursday, and arrived here at 4.30 p.m. yesterday. She will sail for Westport and Greymouth this evening. The s.s. Easby arrived here from Sydney direct at 11 o’clock yesterday forenoon. She is a few days behind time, consequent upon having collided with a scho ner when coming down the harbor. The schooner went down, but all hands were saved, and the Easby was obliged to put back to Sydney to land them. An inquiry was held by the Marine Hoard, and after hearing the evidence they exonerated Captain Anderson from all blame. From what we can hear of the matter, it appears that the sailing vessel was mostly to blame. She was beating up the harbor, and when she neared the steamer Captain Anderson hailed those on board her to go about, as he saw she could not cross his steamer’s bows. Those on board the schooner, however, took no notice of him. but kept on their course. Every endeavor was then made on the Easby to let the schobner pass. Her course was altered and the engines reversed, but to no purpose; both vessels collided, and the result was that the schooner sank in a very short space of time. The Easby finally got away at 8 p.m. on the the 22nd inst., and cleared the Heads an hour afterwards. Experienced light E.N.E. winds and fine, weather across, till making Cape Farewell at 8 p.m. on Thursday, thence light variable till arrival as above stated. The Easby will sail for Southern ports to-day. The s.s.

The p.s. Luna arrived here from Greymouth at 11 o’clock last night, having left there at 6.30 a.m. on Thursday. Experienced fine weather throughout. The Lnna will sail for Westport and Greymouth this evening. Mr. Kedwood’s ste-im-yacht Torea left last night at 12 o’clock for Ficton. We understand that she will be employed In carrying stores and passengers from there to the Golden Point goldfield. She went over in charge of Captain Fisk, whose vessel, the Napier, is at present on the Patent Slip receiving an overhaul. A DEUELICT OFF MOEKAKX. The Dunedin Morning Herald says:—“ Mr. Cornishe’s fishing cutter Nonpareil returned from a fishing cruise yesterday, and the master reports that at 10 o'clock on Wednesday night, the wind blowing hard from N.E., with a high sea, being distant about two miles off Moerakl, ho nearly ran on to a vessel bottom upwards. The nfght was rather dark, but there was sufficient light to enable him to make her out to be a craf; of about 100 tons, but owing to the high sea running, he could not ascertain anything more, nor did he deem it advisable to stand by until daylight. Can this be the missing schooner Excelsior, ■ which sailed from Lyttelton for Wellington some time ago and has since been unheard of? We know of no other vessel that has sailed from any Now Zealand port lately that yet remains to bo accounted for, and It is somewhat singular that the now reported derelict has not been seen ere this by one or more of the many vessels that are sailing on our coast, for she most Jlkely would have been In the track of the various coasters sailing to Moeraki, Oaraaru, and Timaru, although it is possible she may have drifted close in shore, and so have escaped observation. Whatever it

may be. however, it behoves the Government to take some steps to remove so. dangerous an obstruction to the navigation of our waters, if for no other .purpose. The fishing cutter’s crow would doubtless give all tho information that they themselves possess,” .
