WESTPORT. ABBIVALS. Sea Bird, brigantine, from Melbourne, in the roadstead. The brigantine Sea Bird, from Melbourne, arrived oft' the port yesterday, and we believe that the steamer Lioness has been telegraphed for, to tow her in. Steamers or sailing vessels carrying passengers are now compelled to have gangways, with double side-rails, when alongside a pier, with proper steps to the deck, and a light ■burning all night. Penalty £SO. The ship John Banyan has arrived at Nelson from London, after a passage of one hundred and two days. H.M.S.
