Tho erection of both are very necessary works, as the Harbor Master will now be enabled to telegraph to ships outside, or to the signalman on the south beach without undertaking, as formerly, the trouble and sometimes risk of crossing the river. The p.s. Bruce arrived in the river on Friday morning from Nelson, and is announced to leave for Nelson on Sunday. Wo understand that tho p.s.
