The steamer does not leave Lyttelton this evening until after the arrival of the southern express, iv order that she may bring on the passengers and outward San Francisco mails for transhipment to the Takapuna at Wellington. The barque Nellie Brett is now 129 days out from New York to Auckland. Some good steaming was done by the Poherua on her recent trip from Fiji to Auckland, and on the passnge to Russell she put up a record of 4 days 4 hours. Mr Hanison, of Kaipara, has repurchased the tbree-mnsted schooner May. It is his intention to thoroughly repair the vessel and place her in the intercolonial trade. It is hoped to despatch the Eangatira for London to-morrow, but her departure maybe deferred until early on Fridny. The Queen of the South is bringing over from Picton a quantity of hemp for transhipment to the big steamer, and the Opawa is making a special trip to Havelock for the same purpose. Advices from Australia slate that the Wakatipu proceeds from Sydney to Port Kembla to load coal for Devonpori (Tasmania), and will return from tliore to Newcastle to load coal for Wellington and Lyttelton. The surveyor sent to inspect the wreck of the steamer Mataura in Magellan Straits reports to the Salvage Association as follows, under date of 7th July :—": — " The wreck I find, on comparing observations all round, to be practically tht same as it was three months ago, particularly on the opening oC her platep amidships. The only change, so far as I could see, that has taken place would • be a slight bit of her deck (hurricane) having been taken away. I have taken from her this trip 230 bales of wool, which I find to be in as perfect a state of soundnens as if having been shorn a day since. Butler or cheese we neither got nor tried for. I consider the wreck one that will keep intact for n long time, owing to the way in which it has evenly settled itself on the double inclined plane from the centre." The departure of the Mnpourika has been postponed until midnight, so that she may take on tiie Picton, Nelson, and West Coast portion of the inward 'Frisco mail, due here by the Takapuna between 9 nnd 10 o'clock. It will be Tuesday before the Kawatiri is finally ready to leave for Tasmania. The Tyser steamer Indramayo, which is due in Wellington from London, Australia, Auckland, and East Coast ports on 12th October, was hard pressed by several gales after passing the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope. The wind blew with hurricane force from north-west end so\ith-west, squalls of bail and snow and immense seas rendering the situation at times extremely unpleasant.
