EXPECTED AUKIVAI.fi. Janet Grey, from Hokitika, daily. We arc sorry that we have no good news to tell in reference to the Egmont, but quite the contrary. On Thursday one of the warps broke, and the vessel drifted hack again into, if anything, a worse place than slie was in before. The schooner Janet Grey, timberladon, from Hokitika forthis port, lias been compelled to nin to Wanganui for shelter, and even had the weather been lino it is doubtful whether she could have got in, owing to the unusually low tides that have prevailed of late.

He was telegraphed for, and came by special train, and although' his divers reported the Tagus in a most critical position, he contracted to raise it for £20,000 within three days. By Incessant work the task was completed, and the Tagus is preparing to conic tip. — Glasgow /JW&dy Herald.
