The screw, steamer, Wanganui, left port yesterday forenoon for Wanganui and Wellington, she had a few passengers on board. The Kennedy, with Nelson news to the 24th instant, came into port yesterday morning at 9.30 a.m. Mr Mackay, the native Commissioner on board. Notwithstanding the heavy rainfall of the last few days, there was little or no fresh in the river yesterday, and the Kennedy lay at Bcauchamp's wharf with merely the ordinary precautions. The new steamer, John Penn, is very highly spoken of since her arrival, and will make her first visit here shortly. She is two tons les3 register than the Kennedy, but from her extra length, greater width of beam, and height out of water, she looks a great deal larger than that vessel. We have every reason to believe that Captain Carey, who lias earned such golden opinions, whilst in command of the Kennedy, will assume the command of the John Penn immediately on his arrival in Nelson.

To prevent as far as possible collisions at sea, and to put masters of vessels in mind of " the rules of the road," the following aids to memory have been published by the AssistantSecretary to the Board of Trade, London: — TWO STEAMSHIPS MEETING. Meeting steamers, do not dread When you see three lights ahead— Port your helm and show your red. TWO STEAMSHIPS PASSING. Green to Green, or Red to Red— Perfect safety—Go ahead ! TWO STEAMSHIPS CROSSING. If to your starboard Red appear, It is your duty to keep clear ; To act as judgment says is proper— To port, or starboard—back, or stop her ; But when upon your port is seen A steamer's starboard light of Green, There's not so much for you to do. The Green light must keep clear of you. GENEEAIi CAUTION, Roth in safety and in doubt, 'Always keep a good look-out; In danger, with no room to turn, Ease her ! stop her ! go astern !
