The p.s. Charles Edward towed in the Alma on Friday evening at three-quarter tide, there then being 12 feet of water on the bar. Several of the wharf loungers indulged in a trip across the bar and a sniff of the briny on board the Charlie, and were rather taken aback at being quietly asked for five shillings per head by the vigilant purser. Some made a virtue of necessity and paid, while others only promised, but they all came ashore with an impression that Edwards & Co's. boats arc not intended for dead-head excursionists. The s.s. Ino returned fromNgakawhauon Sunday morning, partially laden with coal, the Ngakawhau bar being still too shallowto allow of her coming out with a full cargo. This is to be regretted, particularly just now, as the Alma is in port and could receive a cargo direct for the Melbourne market. To fill her up now will necessitate several trips of the Ino up to the mine. The p.s. Charles Edward arrived at Nelson early on Sunday morning, and will receive quick despatch on her return trip to the Coast with the English Mail. The s.s. Tararua passed up yesterday morning for Nelson. The Lizzie Guy has arrived at Wellington coal laden from Greymouth, after a trip of seventeen days. She was hove to for three days during a gale of wind. She will return to the Coast with a cargo of water-pipes for the Waimca. The cost of removing the Channel Hock at the entrance to Nelson harbor was jyjts, according to I'.ic Provincial Engineer's report. The rock has been removed to a depth of 3 feet 3 inches below its original level. A depth - of 10 feet (5 inches is now obtained on it at low water springs. The amount of rock removed was t-:i cubic yards.
