The Kennedy came in at 5.30 p.m. on Wednesday evening from the south, and sailed at 10.30 a.m. on the following morning for Nelson. Her berth at the wharf was filled by tho Charles Edward, which left Nelson at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, and arrived hero at 10 a.m. on Thursday. The steamer Lyttelton may be shortly expected at Westport. Wo hear blio is under orders to come down at once as a coal tender from Ngakawahao. The steamer Waijmra may be expected from llokitika during the next week laden ■with timber. She will load back with coal from the Ngakawhao, and, weather favoring, ■will probably run down with a cargo of coals for this port. It is stated that Mr Martin Kennedy has purchased the brigantino Sarah and Mary, one of Messrs Speneo Brothers' well-known line of sailing vessels, and that that vessel -will now be engaged regularly in the Melbourne and Greymouth trade. The p.s. Nebraska, on her last passage from Auckland, for Honolulu, carried 200 passengers and a largo general cargo. The head-board, or part of tho stern, of a Tessel, with the word " Liff," three inches long, upon it, in black and gold letters, was "up uc KJtngo *xc»ciß „„ tho i«a ;„„ t The letters are supposed to form part of the name of some vessel that has been wrecked. The brig Our Hope was in such imminent danger of going ashore at Oamaru last week, that 95 per cent, premium was refused by insurance agents. The brig wds right in among the breakers, and her doom appeared tq> be sealed ; but she managed to clear off the land and get to sea. The ships coming into Melbourne just now report an unusual prevalence of ice in southern latitudes. The Woodlark, from London, reports that on tho morning of the 22nd April, in latitude 42dcg south and longitude 16deg east, icebegrs were seen, and in the course of ten hours five very l&vj'.s ones were counted. Their appearance is described as being gr;md and beautiful, and it is computed that they were travelling at the rate of about six knots.
