Murray left Hokitika for Greymouth at 11 p.m. on Friday, and the p.s. Charles Edward at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Both vessels were detained in consequence of the heavy south-westerly swell prevailing -to the south.

The schooner Io is reported »s haying left Port Phillip Heads on the 3rd inst. With the present weather she may put in an appearance daily. She has a full cargo, and is consigned to Messrs Bailie and Humphrey. The schooner Waterman, Captain Lo Brun, from Melbourne, arrived in the roadstead on "Wednesday, after a very smart run. She left Port Phillip Heads on Tuesday, the 29th ult., and made a fair run down to the land, reaching the Grey roadstead within seven days.— '• Grey Argus."

By telegram, we (" Argus") learn that the Sarah, brig, Captain Booth, whilst endeavoring to luave this port at eight o'clock yesterday morning, owing to the wind suddenly falling light, went ashore on the north spit, at the Clarence Heads. The Sarah was loaded by Mr J. Fisher, J.P., of Grafton, with 1427 bags of maize, and was bound to Melbourne. The Sarah was an old brig of 120 tons, and ■was owned by Mr A. G. Fisher, of Melbourne. She has made several trips to this port, under the command of Captain Booth, and we believe that both vessel and cargo are insured. At five o'clock yesterday afternoon tho brig had a good deal of water in her, and ithere seemed to : be -very little chance of her ever coming off; in the event of bad weather -setting in, itis believed that'from her position ■he would soon 'break up. Mr J. -Fisher, J. P., the agent, on receipt of the intelligence, ordered the steamer Collector to proceed on to the Heads, following himself in the steamer Favorite, intending to secure, if possible, the Colonial Sugar Company's steamer May Queen, so as to try and tow her off, or assist in saving cargo. A message dated Clarence Heads, Monday, half-past II p.m. says:— The Sarah is stem on rTorfh Spit, in 6 feet water. Fear there is no chance of saving her cargo.—" C. and R. R. Examiner," Nov. 15. [By tho steamer Ballina we learn that the .Sarah was full of water, but that tho crew were engaged stripping her.—"S. M. H."]
