Last Thursday, when coal-laden at Westport for Lyttelton, she broke her moorings at the itaiths, owing to the heavy current in the river. Captain Johnson set his head sail aud stood over to the other tide before he dropped anchor. The ketch was swept alongside the western training wall below the stoitba, and the current held the vessel, which hod her canvas set to the gale, firmly against the wall. On tjie following evening she wag towed safely from her unpleasant position, and so far as it can be ascertained suffered little or no damage Almost simultaneously with the T« Anau (bound for Lyttelton) casting off from the Queen's Wharf yesterday the barque Devonport, outward bound for Eaipara, got under way from the Bailway Wharf. Captain Bernech, teeing the poi•rtnlity of a collision, immediately put the steamer's engines astern, and gave the sailing vessel ample time for her to have a. clear passage. There was a very light breeze, and when the sailer reached Point Jernlngham she missed stays and drifted well inshore. The anchor was dropped, but the wind freshened up, and the change enabled the barque to fetch safer moouLgi Li the stream
