The P.N.Z. and A.R.M. Company's s.s Egmont .arrived in the roadstead, yesterday morning, from Nelson. She brings twentyfive passengers lind thh'ly tons of cargo for this porfc The Egmont leaves again, to-day, for Nelson and northern ports. We 'see by the " Sydney Empire" that tho Lizzie Coleson left Sydney, for Hokitffcm on r the 14th inst.

The P.N.Z. & A.R.M% Co.*s s.s. Claud Hamilton, H. Hagley, commander, arrived in the roadstead at a late hour on Thursday liightS ufter a pleasant run of five days from Sydney, which port she loft on the 18th inst. The Claud brings 56 passengers, and tyte files of Sydney papers. "She ie'ft &gum for Nelson laßt night. The schooner Tina was removed yesterday from hci* position on the south end of the tivcr to her usual berth at the wharf. Whilst t/li the " hard" this handy little schooner was thoroughly cleaned and overhauled, and is now ready for work again.

Yesterday morning, an attempt was made to move the William Mkkin. by heaving her straight on end towards the riVer, on ths top of high water. We are glad to say that, it was, to a certain extent, successful, ; a$ \,he steamer was moved qui(;e twelve feel. Capt. Black states that the tide almost floated her, and feels confident 'fehe will be released from durance \Vfee»i the " springs" are fairly in. He afro states that she is "as tight as a bottle," and has not suffered tho slightest strain. The bar was worked to much advantage yesterday, and we are glad to see safe inside those regular traders, the Alma and Jfectror. The first was towed hi by the OhaM'ige'j the other by the Lioness. Tfce brig Cosmopolite was also ready fora 'tow, but refuted to chance the bar. ftntft to-day, so as to give it a little hrdVe time to clear. Her passengers were brought on shore by the Lioness; but sho might have safely landed them herself, as neither of the other vessels so much as touched the ground coming, in, although the Hector drew between eight and nine feet ttf Water. Those vessels which have been bfti'-bound duriug.the week, managed to eftfect their escape — the Jane LockhaM und Excelsior towed by the Lioness, the Stanley by the Challenge. The Persevere was busily employed attending to the Claud Hamilton and Egmont on the morning's tide, and brought in the passengers from both. In the evening she ran out with passengers to the Claud Hamilton, which vessel then steamed away for Nelson. The barque Alma cleared Port Philip Heads on the 13th instant, with light westerly winds and fine weather. Ran through the" Straits next day, when the breeze veered into S. and S.E., aud kept steady there until lite 18th, then chopping into S.W. On the 20th, Mount Cook was sighted, and tho wind increased to a heavy gale, accompanied by squalls of rain and hail. Next morning the weather moderated, and the roadstead reached during the day, but it was not until the 24th that the wharf was gained*, the entrance having been too shallow for a vessel of her draugni. The Alma was towed in by the Challenge. She brings a full general cargo, and 1 passenger. The brigantine Hector left Port Philip Heads on the 9th instant, with light S.E. winds and fine weather, and cleared the Straits next day, when she took her last departure from Swan Island. Experienced light S> and S.E. winds until the 16th, when they veered into theS.W., and up to the 20th blew afresh stendy gale, which drove her up to the land. Sighted Mount Cook on the latter date, and reached- the roadstead the same day, but an impassable bar kept her outside until the 24th, when she was towed in by the Lioness. Whilst beating about outside, the Hector was drifted a long distance north, by a strong current. She brings a full cargo, chiefly of flour, and 3 passengers. By tho courtesy of Capt. Chapman, we received Melbourne files to the 10th inst.
