The Anchor Line s.s. Jvennedy, Captain Wbitwell.'lelt 'Nelson 'for Westport at 7.30 a.m. on Thursday, Reached Mofcueka at 10 a.m., and took in 15 tons of cargo, sailing at m on, arid arrived at Westport at G a.m. yesterdny morning. The Kennedy will leave for southern ports to-night.

Tne ke'ch Emerald, W. Whitby, master left Lyttelton for Westport, at 6 p.m. on Satuda-, Apiill. Passed Cape Campbell with a light fair wind at 2 p.m. the following day, and then encountered strong south-east winds. Cape Farewell was passed at 9 a.m. on the 3rd, and at 2 p.m. the same day was off Rock's Point, encountering baffling winds until midnight, when it blew off the land. Anchored off the bar at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, and beat in the next morning. The Emerald -brought a cargo of produce-consigned to Messrs Bailie and Humphrey, which she diearged on Thursday, and sailed yesterday for the i'clor-us.

r The schooner Janet Grey, owned by Messrs 1 Gardner and Sutton, arrived at Charleston from Lyttclton on ThursAiy, at 2 a.m., with a cargo of produce consigned to the ab.ive firm. She is amewt trader to the West Coast, and from the very excellent condition of the • produce when elandeJ, has proved 'herself a vthoroughly seaworthy vesse'. >he sailed the smio '"ay for the Pelorus aid Ly ttelton. Latest advices show the Cerberus to be slowly, bui safely and successfully, wending -4»er way to Me bourne. A letter from Lieut. J-Panter, her gallant commander, dated Galle, Pub. 3, gives a further account of her progress. He says he arrived at Galle all well two days before, having made a good passage Of 17 dnys (21 days was the expected period of the voyage), and was coaling, and cleaning her engines and boilers. As soon as that was finished, which he hoped would be next day, he would be off again for Batavia. From thence he intended to go to Sourr.baya, at the east end of Java, so as to get as far to the eastward as possible before he made his final start to Australia. The weather was "awfully hot.'' and with the thin topsides of the Cerberus it was almost unbearable. In one part of the ship he had to give up altogether, for the thermometer stood at 130 deg. He should, he wrote, be very glad when 'he headed down south, and got a little c «•->' weather. If lucky, he expected to arrive at King George's Sound by the end of March, and at Melbourne by the middle of April. Galle waß the last place from which he could -write to Australia till he got to the Sound. At Galle he found that he had not enough money to pay for coals there, 60 he had to get them from the Peninsular and Oriental Company, giving a bill on the Victqritn Treasury for .£731 15s 6d. Hitherto he had drawn on 'MrVerdon; but as he was nearer to Melbourne he decided, to do as he had done. In a poste'ript'Lieut. Panter says she would sail next evening. In another letter which h«s . rrached Melbourne Lieut. Panter says, speak- • ing of The " unbearable heat,"—L tun afraid vitJa -beginning l to tell on my men, as I have Tather a large sick list." It is, we understand, the intention of the Victorian Government to promote Mr Panter tD the rank of captain in the colonial -service, to which rank Captain Payne was also promoted when he arrived here in the Nelson. His commission —which has, of course, nothing to do with his rank in the Royal Navy—is to date from the day he took command of the Cjrberus. ■ Kia action in respect to the coals coincides sufficiently with what has already been done ; hen «> behalf of the vessel, for the Oriental n have kindly given him credit in. all the Eastern ports where they have branches; and Mr Kendall, the Melbourne agnat.flf t''e Peninsular and Oriental Company, has jn the handsomest manner possible sent instructions* to tho Sound to the effect that ull-thocompany's stores, coal, &e., are to be at the disposal of the Cerbc rus in case of Deed.
