The b.s. Airedalo, from Dunedin, arrived off the port- yesterday; but too late in tide to land her meils and passengers. She has on board 50 of the latter, and about 26 tons of cargo.

We regret that the Cosmopolite should be condemned to to long a delay outside, but her heavy draught renders tho utmost care neceseary to ensure her safe arrival at the wharf. She should be brought in upon the very top of high wsiter, as there aregood two fathoms in the channel, such bring the depth found by the Lioness when crossing the bar yosterday. Tho b.b. Egmont left for Nelson on Saturday night. At 6 p.m. the Persevere ran ©upside to her with a few passengers, who were transhipped, and Beveral tons of cargo received in exchange, with which the Perseto» returned to port, and the Egmont proceeded on her voyage. We are happy to record the removal of the •chooner Bonnie Lass from the awkward position the has so long occupied on the South Spit. Slow but sure progress has been lately made in tho work of relaunching her, and she would have floated on Friday had not the heavy eea of tho preceding day knocked her off the wayß. She was again lifted, and "on yeiterday morning's tide cleared the Spit, awung to her anchor, and was then taken in tow by the Challenge and conveyed to the wharf. Notwithstanding the severe usage she hxt received, the Bonnie Lass has sustained no damage, sate the loss of a few sheets of copper, and will be ready for sea in a few days. We believe it is intended to send her to Nelion, where such repairs aj she needs will be effected.

The brigantine Lizzie Coleson left Svdnt-y H<hml« on t Le 14th mit, with light N.E. winds and fine weather. That night the breeze increased and hauled into the Bouthwrrt, and during the remainder of the pasmgo strong south and S.S.E. winds prevail. >d Mou i Cook was sighted at noon on the 24th, aad the next morning tho Coleson was picked up by the Lioness, ten milp3 oft' land, and towed safply to tho wharf. She bving* a full general cargo, much of it heavy goods, aa her draught is over eight feet. The s.s. Kennedy left Nelson on the 22ud iu«t. at 6 p.ui,, and, favored with fine settled. weather, arrived off the Bullev river next

evening, and on the following morning erossod the bai*. Discharged cargo that day, nnd left on the evenings tide, arriving oil' Hokitika in time to tako advantage of the next monmig^a tide, upou which she reached tlio wharf in her usual happy style. The Kennedy only brings a few tons of cargo for this port, the greatest part of the full caivjo with which she left Nelson being consigned to Greymouth. She has also nine pussoiigers for Hokitika and throo for G-reymoulh. On Saturday night the Lioness ran outside, to be in readiness for the reception of the s.s. South Australian, which wasexpeetedto arrive hourly During the night she made her appearance, and yesterday morning her passengers and mails were landed by the tug, which, after doing so, immediately left tho river again, to bring in the brig Cosmopolite. The surf, which had gradually increased as the tide made, was by this time breaking in heavy rollers upon the bar, nnd ivs the Lioness cleared the river three tremendous seas struck her in succssion, damaging the paddle-boxes, and smothering her fore and aft with wate. A.t this critcal moment tho starboard wheel chain parted, and the next roller broached her to, but the engines being disconnected and reversed, she was brought head to sea, and stec mcd through the break, steered by her engines only, for although when tho chain snapped a hand tiller (which is always kept ready in the event of such a mishap) was shipped, tho strain upon the rudder was so heavy that the socket gave way, and thus rendered it useless. On gaining open water the chain was fastened and the Cosmopolite taken in tow, but on arriving at the edge of the break the red flag was hauled down and the signal, " Bur dangerous," hoisted ; so the brig was taken back to her anchorage, and the Lioness returned inside without su tiering any further damage.
