The topsail schooner Florinda, from Melbourne, was towed in by the Oharlea Edward on Friday, having made a good run from Melbourne, leaving that port on 10th in-tunt. She is consigned to Messrs Bailie and Humphrey. Her cargo has bcon landed in excellent condition, and she will take in ballast to-day. Since the arrival of the American schooner Marion she has been visited by very many persons, attracted by the peculiarity of her build and rigging, She is the largest vessel yet entering the Bullcr River, and by far the smartest looking. Alow and aloft she shows the best points in American ship-building, rhe figging and gear being on the latest ami handiest models, and her below deck fittings as as American ingenuity can devise. 11. r aEtcr cabin is a handsome apartment; her galley, also below deck, as spick, span, and clean as the most precise of cooks could possibly desire. Her fok'sle is a very different place from the dingy dens ■wherein the crew on board most crafts are orowded. The general handiness of the Ma-ion is shown by her having made her first trip, from New York to Dunedin, with a c:evr of four men only, besides the ship officers, and bringing out 656 tons of cargo. The schooner was built in 1S(J8, and is now for sale at about «Csool>. bhe would make an admirable collier, and in times of "rush" a clipper cruft for passengers. The Wallace, after 4S hours detention at the Sandspil, cime in on Sunday, from Nelson. The Kennedy has made a smart trip from Nelson. Leaving there at 9 a.m. on Sunday, she showed up at 7.30 a.m. yesterday, and crossed the bar at 10 a.m. Wakefield street wharf yesterday presented a busy aspect, which may be accepted as a prelude of still more busy times. The American schooner Marion was busily discharging cargo, as also was the Melbourne craft Florinda ; while at Uiicy's wharf the steamers Wallace and Kennedy were similarly engaged. The up-river boats were also taking in freight, and busy activity everywhere prevailed. The s.s. St. Kilda got away from Wan-■gH-ani yesterday morning, and having had a. fate breeze abaft should show up here this evening. The Kejtnedy steamed to Hokitika direct, and the Wallace to Greymouth yesterday evening.
