A week of unusual bustle amongst the shipping whs succeeded yesterday by a quiet day, as, save the Sea Shell, outward bound to Lyttelton, and the Challenge which towed her, no vessel crossed the bar. Those at the wharf, however, made good progress in landing their cargoes, and we were glad to see the goods turn out so well. The brigantine Mary broke bulk in the morning, and by tho middle of the afternoon had cleared a considerable space in the main hold. Laden with a miscellaneous and easily damaged cargo, it was satisfactory to note how dry and free from stain were tho bales and case's discharged. In equally good condition is tbe cargo of the Jane Lbckhart, which vessel would have cleared out all her freight, save the coal, had not the rain, which - set in a little after noon, compelled her to close up hatches. Thp Stanley, schooner, also landed a considerable portion of her lumber freight.
