The s.s. Kennedy came in yesterday morning and discharged cargo at the end of Bright Street, the wharf at Cobden Street being occupied by the Maid of Erin and Zephyr. Leaving at 5 p.m. for Greymouth. At 2 p.m. the Charles Edwards arrived, and left t his morning for southern p- rts. The Kennedy on her return trip from Greymouth V i Nelson will not call at Westport. The Zephyr having discharged her cargo in excellent condition, took in ballast yesterday, in readiness for towing out this morning by the Charles Edwards. The Zephyr ia under orders for Newcastle direct, and probably will, sail from thence to Adelaide before reaching Melbourne.

Harbor Master, Captain, Leech has erected two white pyramidal beacons and a signal post, .it the Packer's Point Beach, as guides for navigating the north channel, now the best entrance to the river. The south channel having shoaled considerably of late in consequence of the extension of the shingle spit. The entrance by the north channel is both deep and wide. Captain Leech took soundings yesterday and found ten feet at high water. This at neap tides, and all other river bars on the Coast shallowing, is satisfactory.

Tho steamer Lvttlcton may be expected from the south within a, few days with a cargo of timber. She has made one trip to Okaiita from Hokitika in place of the Waipara and may make another before returning northward. The Waipara has been taken to Dunedin for the purpose of a thorough overhaul, and also lengthening some ton feet, When the alterations aro completed it is expected she will prove tho smartest and handiest boat on the Coast.

The Wallabi which left Wanganni at 9.30 on the morning of the 10th arrived in the roadstead during the night, and crossed the south bar Wednesday morning, narrowly avoiding collision with tho Murray which feeling her way in first previously in the dim light, had stuck for a few minutes, the tide being then about three quarter full only. Fortunately, beyond a momentary scare on board either craft, no ill resulls followed. The Wallabi brought a full cargo of cuttle tOieep and produce which she landed at tho Spit at daylight, and at mid day steamed out. again for Wanganui. We hear that definite arrangements have not yet been concluded tor iter transfer to Dunedin waters.
