Por Wallace, from Greymouth—(i en sop, 4 trusses, 1 trunk, Thompson, Smith, and Bfu-kley. The Albion arrived at Nelson at 1 p.m. on the 17th, ami left for Greymouth the same night at 12 o'clock: The Wallace, from south, arrived on Wednesday at noon, and left the name tide for Nelson. The steamer Kennedy left Nelson at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, but had not arrived up to the time of our going to press last evening. Heavy weather has probably prevailed to tho northward. The Kennedy will bring the Albion's mails. The schooner Lizzie Guy, now on her way from Melbourne to Westport, has been purchased by the Westland Freight Company. Another schooner, the Victory, of 210 tons burthen, has also been purchased, and these craft, with tho paddle steamer Titan, of 90" tons, make a very respectable commencement for a trading fleet. The delegates sent to Melbourne to purchase vessels for the Company were Messrs Hall and Churches, and their promptitude in action is a fitting sequel to the smart floating of the company. The Dunedin Star of the 30th ult. says:— * We arc glad to see the schooner Mary Ogilvie back again in the port, and apparently none the worse for her mishap. She will, of course, have to be docked and stripped, and new copper put on; but beyond that there is nothing tho matter. Messrs Jack3on, of Port Chalmers, deserve credit for their risky speculation of launching her off the beach. She left Oamaru on Wednesday night with a cargo of wheat as ballast, arrived off the Heads yesterday morning, beat up as far as the erosschannol and anchored. Tho Geolong, on l-eturnirg from towing the El-anor out, brought her up tho harbor. NOTICE TO MARINERS. Tho following notice to Mariners, received from the Chief Harbour Master, Auckland, is published for general information : BEACONS AND BUOY, AUCKLAND HABBOUR.

Tho upper beacon is erected on tho northern extreme of the Boat Rock Reef, and is surmounted by a diamond-shaped cage twenty-two feet above tho surface of tho reef, and thirteen feet above high water spring tides. Tho lower beacon is erected on the outer cuu oi mo reef, immediately oppnaitn if am-i Point, and is surmounted by a circularshaped cage twenty-four feet above the surface of the reef, and fifteen feet above high water spring tide.
