The Hofcitika correspondent of th 3 " Canterbury Press," in a summary of shipping news, sa.\3: — " The Challenge, tug, mention in my last, has been . j . — i u x >V s ssrsSpencrt Brothers for £7000, and is expected to arrive i/j «.** — „ or the beginning of next, from Melbourne j she ■will be put in the coast trade generally. The Lioness is pretty actively employed in the Grey river trad-. Ihe Bruce, our Okarita medium, continues to ply regularly to that district. She is now most ably commanded Ly Mr. Kerley, formely pilot of the Hokitika harbor, and lately superseded by Mr. TurnbulL This resignation leases the appointment of pilot vacant. By-the-bye, there is an action pending, Hepburn v. Turnbull, for speaking in a hurry as tt« the course he (Captain Hepburn) took respecting the Star of the South. The Ballarat is again afloat. She has left for Okarita, and will, I think, divide the trade to that port with the Bruce. The, Maria is getting ready for sea, and will leave shortly for Melbourne."
