AHIUVKD. January 13— Kennedy, s.s., from Nelson. January 14— Wallaby, s.s, from Nelson. The term of idleness to which ihe p.s Hallavat has been so long condemned, through the breaking of her main shaft, is at. last drawing to a close, the new ono sent for to Auckland having arrived yesterday in tho Wouga Wougu. Wo shall be pleased to soo this handy vessel onco moro at work, for nlthough just at present tho shipping trade is mther dull, opportunities nro not wanting whereby a vessel of her eluss could find profitable employment. It is expeclcd tho JJnllarat will bo ready for sea in a week or ten days. The schooner Duuedin left Adelaide on the 28th December, with strong southerly breezes, which continued up to the 14th instant, when the wind chopped into the N.E.. and blow up a heavy gale, raising a short ugly sea, compelling her to heave to for twelve hours. At 10 p.m. on the 15th the wind Hew round to tho S.W., and the galo ceased. Hence to the land fine weather and moderate breezes prevailed. The Dunedin anchored in the roadstead on the 17th, and was towed safely to the wharf by the Yarra the next day. She is freighted with 03 tons of flour, 5 tons of hay, and 5000 feet of flooring. the s.s. Wonga Wonga left Nelson on the 15th instant, with light variable winds. When oil' I'afewell Spit she was met by a strong S.W. wind, accompanied by a heavy sea, tigain«t which she contended until abreast of Oape Fonlwind, when it so much increased as to compel Ler to run in and anchor at Q p.m. on the liKh. There sl\e remained until 11 a.m. on tho 17th, when the weather moderating, she put to sen, coining to anchor off Ilokitika at midnight, arriving at the wharf next morning's tido. The Wonga Wonga brings 35 head of cattle and 40 sheep, which sho landed yesterday in splondid condition.
