The Kennedy left Nelson yesterday at 12.45 p.in, and the Wallabi left Wanganui at 1.30 p.m: Unless bad weather prevails to the northward, both vessels may be expected in to-day. The p.s. Result brought down another cargo of coals from the Ngakawhao on Tuesday, and will continue to make regular trips to keep up the supply. Captain Stewart, of the schooner Dunedin, reports as follows : Left Oamaru on the Bth ins!,int. for Westport, during the passage sheltered from a heavy S.W. gale in Brandy Bay. Anchored in the roadstead on the afternoon of the 20th. Han in next morning, during a heavy dirty N.E. gale, by the new channel. Their being every appearance of a heavy fresh and no wharfage accommodation for vessels, the Harbor Master decided to take the vessel to the lagoon for safety, and in doing so got a-ground, and drove upon the beach adjacent to tho riyer mouth, where the sea was breaking with eonsiderable force, throating to strain and fill the vessel. After considerable exertion, succeeded in getting her afloat about noon t f the 23rd, and got towed into the lagoon by the steamer Kesult, which proved herself a handy serviceable craft for tho service. Captain Stewart expresses the regret ho feels in being compelled to bring before public notice the fact that having run into the Bullcr river during a heavy gale and dirty rainy weather, so that he could not see half a mile ahead, that he should then find his craft in greater danger—having run out of tlie frying pan into the fire—owing to the want of wharfage accommodation to make fast to during the bad weather, and that on asking why he could not run straight up the river, where he had been told there is a good natural place for the safely of vessels, tho reply was the Government had in onsideratcly run tho telegraph wire across the river below the place. Captain Stewart hopes the next skipper that comes in under similar circumstances will run staight up and knock the wire down, if not removed, rather than risk getting his vessel wrecked in the river, or taken over the bar during a heavy flood, followed as she may be by the two wretched apologies for wharves now located just where most likely to be swept away. According to Home advices the following pruigrant ships were to leave England for New Zealand ports. The William Davy, Glasgow to Otago, sth April, witli 100 immigrants ; Schehallion, London to Wellington, 9th April, with 130 immigrants ; Celestial Queen, London to Auckland, 17th April, with 130 immigrants ; Halcinne, London to Wellington, 14th April, with 200 immigrants; Merope, London to Lyttelton, Ist May, with 200 immigrants ; Sheppia, Hamburg to Lyttelton, 15th May, with 300 immigrants ; another vessel (name not mentioned), Hamburg to Otago, same date, with 300 immigrants. Besides these, two full ships were to leave Glasgow in the beginning of June, one for Napier, the other for Otago, with 200 immigrants each, and another vessel was to leave Christiana on tho Ist June, fur Napier, with 200 immigants. It will be seen that by far the greater portion of these immigrants are from the United Kingdom, those from Hamburg and Christiana, respectively, being German and Scandinavians. Sir Brogden also will bring out several hundred people.
