The s.s. Wallabi arrived at Westport from Wanganui on Tuesday morning with a cargo f>f cattle and produce, consigned to Messrs Freeth and Greig. She discharged a portion of her live freight at the South Spit, and proceeded with the balance to Greymouth the same evening. She is expected to arrive here from the south this morning, and will sail this evening for Wanganui direct. The arrival of Mr Wylde, one of the passengers per Charles Edward, in the Bangitoto at Greymouth, has set all doubt at rest with respect to that steamer. Mr Wylde arrived at Greymouth on Wednesday evening, and telegraphed the following morning the grateful information that the Charles Edward was safe in Blind Bay, where he transhipped into the Kangitoto for Greymouth. The s.s. Kennedy arrived at Westport from Hokitika yesterday evening, discharged cargo, and left the same tide for Nelson.

The s.s. Murray arrived at Westport from Nelson yesterday evening. She spoke the p.s. Charles Edward in Blind Bay on Thursday evening, and brings the intelligence that the latter vessel had been disabled by the breaking of the head of her cylinder. The Inland City arrived at Auckland from Queensland on the sth inst. with 164 head of cattle.

The s.s. Xord Ashley arrived at Napier from the north on Sunday last. She reports having encountered a very heavy sea, and had to lay-to for several hours. The s.s. Tararua, which arrived in the Hokitika roadstead from Melbourne on Saturday last, reports having met the s.s. Claud Hamilton at 9 a.m. on the 2nd, 10 miles south of Cape Schanck, and transhipped passengers and mails short-landed at Hokitika. Captain Underwood writes with reference to the gale which caused the Claud Hamilton to proceed to sea with the Hokitika passengers on board : "We filled with cargo on the Coast, and had the misfortune to fall in with a gale off Hokitika. We remained outside for 30 hours, and left without being tendered. On the 21st ult. our decks were swept, the jibboom and every movable thing being washed away in a very heavy gale that came on at midnight on the 25th April. Engine-room skylight washed in ; five feet water in the compartments, and the fires put out. We were laidto 48 hours. Our coal is almost used up. I don't think we have enough to take us to Hobson's Bay. During the gale and when the wheel was washed away, two men were at it, and one of them was washed clean through it, and the other one was taken over the side, but caught something, held on, and was rescued. Neither of the men were hurt."
