The Government steamer Stella, sister boat to .the Hinemoa, arrived at Wellington on the 25th inst., from the Clyde, via Adelaide. She is intended for the lighthouse work on the New Zealand Coast. The. 'New Zealand Times,' of the 25th Oct., has the following :— The ketch Elizabeth, Captain Hart, from the Pelorus Sound, bound to Patea with a cargo of timber, got on the North Spit at Patea, on Sunday last, as she was entering the harbour. She was got off on Monday night, apparently with no damage ; but Captain 'Short, her owner, received a telegram stating that the vessel was making water. Probably an inquiry and Burveywill be held on the vessel before proceeding. to sea. The steamers. Manawatu and Stormbird both leave for Wellington this afternoon — not this morning, as stated by the 'Herald' in last evening's issue. We make this correction to prevent disappointment to intending passengers.
