Kiwi leaves for Castlepoint and Naiper this afternoon. A cutter, supposed to be the Hero, from Picton, was signalled this afternoon. Captain Williams' steamer Grafton, we are informed, left Sydney for Wellington on Tuesday last. She is therefore overdue here now, anil will probably arrive to-night. The B.s. Stormbird leaves Wanganui this evening, and -will arrive here to-morrow morning. She leaves again to-morrow evening for Foxton. The s.b. Albion, from Melbourne via the West Coast, -will arrive in Wellington either tomorrow night or early on Thursday morning. The B.s. Hinemoa steamed round to tho Patent Slip this morning for cleaning. The barque Crownthorpe, from London, was berthed at the wharf to-day. We are glad to hear that the cutter Dido, which recently went ashore on the rocks at Totaranui, has been successfully floated. Temporary repairs were made, and the cargo, which was intended for West Wanganui, was reshipped, and in all probability by this time the cutter has arrived in Nelson, where she will be thoroughly repaired. The damage to the vessel will cause an outlay of about £150.
