We have, the authority of the Harbormaster for stating that , the Grey bar and channel are in excellent condition. The schooner Lizzie Guy, from Dunedin, will be brought in this morning about nine o'clock. Yesterday morning the p.s. Wallace sailed for Hokitika, and in the evening the Ino, for Okarito, and the Titan to attend upon the Lizzie Guy in. the roadstead. There were three arrivals of sailing vessels in the roadstead yesterday- - the Lizzie Guy, irom Dunedin, with a general cargo of produce for Messrs Woolcocfc and Co.i and the schooner Sarah and Mary, from Wellington, with -a J cargo of railway material. It was late on the tide when the tugs Titan and arrived to'tow them in. The Titan first got hold of the Emerald, and dropped •her at anchor in the river, but before she had returned to the roadstead, the Dispatch Had fastened on to the Sarah and Mary, and brought' her in safely, but, being very late on the tide, both schooners took the ground on the flat in the river, where they remained until the evening's tide, when they all arrived safely at the wharf. The steamer Victoria is expected to leave Auckland at noon on Saturday, the 15th inst. Telegrams for the Australian Colonies or. 'Europe,' via the Java cable, will be received at the Greymouth office for transmission' to Auckland up till 10 o'clock of the :15th mat. Telegrams for Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales, and Queensland, will be received at the Grreymmith office for transmission to Auckland, and will there-be posted as an ordinary letter f>ee of postage, to the address given in the message. or will be forwarded to the nearest te!e</r«ph station in New South Wales, and tel« j graph*'d to its destination, the AustVali«n rates being collected from the receiver. The sender will note in the instructions on the message how he wishes his message dealt with, whether : to be posted as a letter at the final port of departure in New Zealand, or to be forwarded from there to the telegraph station at the Eort where the steamer is bound to, and to | c telegraphed from thence to its final desti- : nation. In the first case he will write in in- ; structions, if to be treated as a letter, "To be posted ;" in the latter, if to be telegraphed j on arrival in Australia, he will sate in in- 1 structions "To be telegraphed." In the; case of telegrams for Tasmania and Western Australia, the same can' only be treated as \ letters, and* posted as such from the final port of departure in New Zealand. VTele- , crams for Europe, per Java cable, will be dealt with as hitherto, the full rates being prepaid by the sender. 1 The s.s. Macgregor, which took out the < July mails for San Francisco, had a very ; large passenger list. Her departure was ; thus noticed by the "Sydney M«rning i Herald "of the 4th inst :— "The mail steam ship Macgregor leaves to-day at noon, for i San Francisco via Kandavau and. Honolulu, carrying the homeward English mails Since her stay in port most important alterations have been made in her passenger accommodations. The original saloon aft has been fitted up and set apart entirely for the lady passengerg, and the large and commodious deck house amidships has been converted into an elegant dining saloon, with well yen tilated enclosed cabins on either side, sanitary arrangements, including baths, &c, have been fitted up, and, in fact, for comfort and every = convenience the Macgregor is perhaps the most perfect steamer leaving this port. Captain Granger, her commander, has' with him a staff of first-class officers in every department, the ship is fully coaled and provisioned, and will take her departure under most favorable circumstances "
