Per Bella Vista, for Hobart Town — 68 hides, 200 bals sheep ekins, Cook. A telegram from Greyniouth yesti rday informed Mr Greer that the Bruce made a safe entry into that river on Monday night. In consequence of its flooded state she was unable to put to sea yesterday, but expected to leave for the Buller this morning. A vast amount of unnecessary delay might be avoided, if masters of vessels trading to this port would follow the example of Captain Duncan of the Sarah and Mary, his rule being that when once the roadstead is gained to ptick as close to it as possible, to bo in readines.| \g f wff U|3OR lbs fret obft»C9 tQ cros* the

bar. Six days elapsed from llio limo dial, fho Sarah and Mary (on this trip) 'irafc dropped anchor oft' the port, and her arrival in the river, aud during that period sho was two or thrco times compelled to put to sea by bad weather, but on neither occasion lost sight of the laud, ami invariably returned in time for the next dinN tido. By so doing, yesterday's opportunity was not lost, ami sho now lies snugly at tho wharf discharging freight. The unfortunuto barque Frederic is still outside, and was not evvn in sight at v lato horn* last night. The hrigantine Sarah nr/8» Mary sailed tluo'.igh Port Phillip Heads on the 4lh iust., with strong steady S.W. winds aud fino weather, and by next day at noon was through the straits, and took her final departure from the Sisters. Thence to the New Zealand coast she experienced a succession of N E. and S.E. gales, with an occasional slant to west and N.W. Heavy rain also fell, and a higli easterly sea prouiiled, the barometer standing very low, ranging from 29.15 to 29.30. Yet notwithstanding these adverse circumstances, this smart vessel made the run from land to land in n ; ne days, as Bold Head was' sighted on the 13th, and the roadstead reached the next day. Floods, gales, and an impassable bar prevented her entrance until the 20th, when she was fastened to by the Challenge and towed inside. The Sarah and Mary brings a full general cargo, amongst which, as deck loading, is a five ton steam boiler intended for the Scandinavian Company's claim at Boss. Mrs Kh'kpatriok and daughter, and Miss Liltle were the only passengers. The P.N.Z. and A.R.M. Company's s.s. Airedale, H. Meiklehani, commander, arrived in the roadstead yesterday morning from Sydney, which port she left on the 14th. inst., at 8 p.m. During the passage strong northerly weather was experienced. The Airedulo brought 40 passengers auil a few tons of cargo. The former were landed by the Y/urra, but in consequence of tho heavy sea running, no attempt was made to tranship curgo, and it was therefore taken on to Nelson, for which port the Am dale left in the forenoon. The entrance to the river is not in first-rate condition, as the heavy sea of yesterday by neutralising the river current has broken up the bar and keeps it constanly moving. Iv tho morning two navigable channels existed, one running straight out ,the other tending to the S.W. The former was worked by the Yarra, which reported that it was exceedingly narrow, but contained two fathoms of wa'er at high tide. The south channel was wider and better defined, and the Challenge reported ten feet of water in it whan she passed through with the Sarah aud Mary. But a marked alteration took place during the day, for at low water in tho afternoon, when the eaud banks were exposed, it was perceptible that the north channel had nearly sanded up, thus diverting the greatest part of the river water through the southward passage. To provide for this change the beacons were shifted to lead through the latter, which promises to become an excellent channel, although rather too much exposed to a broadside sea. The arrival in the roadstead of the Liz/ie Coleson yesterday morning, was timed mos>t fortunately, as she popped in just at tide time, and was tt eized by the Challenge with such despatch that she was saved oven the trouble of anchoring. The tug brought her in through the north channel, and after conveying her to the wharf returned outside for tho Sarah and Mary. She also crossed the bay safely, but by the better defined and deeper channel running to the south-west. Bring in these two vessels constituted the day's work of the Challenge. The day was not passed in idleness by either the Persevere or Yarra, as the former ran out to receive cargo from the Taraunkaki, but was unable to effect the tranship ment of more than half of it, owing to the heavy sea running, which stove one of the boats when full of goods, alongside her. Hulf laden, the Persevere returned to the river ; I and the Taranaki steamed awny for Welling- ! ton. Tho arrival of the Airedale, from Sydney, gave employment to the Yarra, which transhipped the passengers aud mails, but made no attempt to get cargo ou board, as in doing so time would only liave been expended to no purpose. The Airedale accordingly carried it away to Nelson, from which port it will be forwarded by rhe first of the Company's steamers leaving there for Hokitika. The roadstead yesterday was exceedingly troubled by an ugly cross sea, which made tho vess-jls at anchor there ride most uneasily, and all but rendered nugatory the attempt made to tranship cargo into the harbor steamers and lighters. The Gothenburg with 100 tons of cargo for this port has not yet broken bulk, although yesterday morning she did manage to discharge the few cases of fruit stowed on deck into the Persevere. This time the Gothenburg's visit has been attended by unusually bad luck, for hitherto she has enjoyed a singular immunity from delays through bad weather, and seldom exceeded the time of her advertised deparfcuie more than twenty four hours. But such' circumstances arc be yond control, and must c'en be endured philosophically, although we well know how disagreeable is a lengthy sojourn in a West Coast roadstead. We hope that to-day will see the Gothenburg clear of her freight, and that her departure for Melbourne will not be delayed beyond to-morrow. The briganfcine LiVie Coleson sailed from Sydney on the 7th inst., with moderate N.E. winds and fine weather, aud experienced a continuation of the same until the 11th, when the barometer indicated a change, and shortly after the wind shifted to N.W., and by sunset was blowing a hard gale, attended by heavy rain and a mountainous sen. For four days she ran before it under reduced canvas, which brought her well up with the land, when the gale, without slacking, hauled steadily round by North into N.E., and then increased, compelling tho Coleson to heave-to under clo*e-reefcd mainsail and staysail. Deluges of rain, and thunder and lightning, marked this change, and for twelve hours she lay by tho wind, making, however, very fair weather of it. The gale breaking on the lGih, bail was made, and in the afternoon Mount Cook sighted. The breeze then died away, and kept light and scant from N. to N.W., which, combined with a southerly current, prevented her reaching the roadstead until the 20th, when she was towed across the bar by the Challenge. The Lizzie Colesou is laden with a full general cargo. Captain Durtii reports that on the evening of the 11th, in lat. 41 deg 40 mm. 8., and long. 166 deg. 10 mm. E., about 200 miles from UieNew Zealand roast, tho wreck of what was supposed to have been a large cutter was passed, floating bulwarks fliis.li with tho water. No masts were standing, but 6omethiug was observed floating* astern, which might have been a portion of her spars. The vessel is described as heavy sterned, with a straight cutwater, and it is possible might be the same wreck which was sighted in Cook's Straits by the Prince Consort during her last trip from Ly ttelton us that was reported to be at the time fast drifting to the westward. During the heavy w»ttther experienced by the Coleson, from the 11th to the 16th, the barometer kept very low, seldom marking higher than 29*10. We regret to hear that circumstances have arisen in conneciion with the long absence of tlio cutter Glimpse, commanded by Mr Jainos Sniiih, which lead to the conclusion that she has been wrecked. We understand that, besides the Crew, there were on board Mrs Johanna Castlor. and two other females. Mr C. D. C. Lambert, of George Town, has been out searching the last day or two ; and yesterday morning sent up to Mr Superintendent Coulter the following telegram :—": — " 1 have just returned from searching the beaih between West Head and Badger Head with the police boat. Found two hatches, fore-scuttle, chopping- block, and fire top stand. The whole have been identified as belonging to the missing cutter Glimpse. The position of the articles found proves that tho ucrnit nt that befel the unfortunate vessel occurred outside the heads ; but whether from being light ghe onp»wed in & iquall, or hugging th« &nd.

Thl Barwojt. — There is at lnsL every probability of tho steamer Barwon being got ailoat. again, without much damage.
