EXPORTS.

Per Waipara, for Hokitika : 50 tons coal, 4 pkgs Chinese goods.

The Wallace, p.s, left Nelson on Monday morning with tbe San Francisco mail, arriving at Weatporfc next morning at four o'clock ; left again at 10 a.m. and arrived in the roadstead at 4.30 p m. yesterday, where she transhipped the Hokitika portion of the mail to the Waipara. The Wallace sails for Hokitika on Thursday morning, thus affording a good opportunity to those proceeding to the Hokitika races. The Amaranth, coal-laden, was towed to sea last night by the Dispatch. The Waipara left for Hokitika yesterday afternoon, conveying the San Francisco mail, transhipped from the Wallacd in the roadstead. The s.s. Murray arrived alongside the ■wharf from Nelson via Hokitika last night. She sails north this evening, conveying the outward San Francisco mail The Arawata, of Messrs M'Meokan, Blackwood, and Co's line of steamers does not, on tbis occasion, visit the Coast, t-'he returns to Melbourne via the Bluff from Nelson, leaving that port on Saturday morning. Tbe 8.8. Murray, which leaves to-night, will doubtless be in time to tranship passengers at Nelßon. Owing to the Arawata not proceeding^via the Coast, the Agents heie will .book passengei s at through rates. We are led to understand that the Ringarooma, tbe next of this firm's line of steamers, likewise returns from Nekon, and does not come on to the Coast. Mr Webb, waterman, Dunedin, has fitted a small rowing boat with Stevens's patent paddles and with hand connecting rods, by which means two little boys were able to tow his largest sailing boat, w ith men in it and all sails set, there being no wind at the time, across the harbor, one and a half miles. They afterwards pulled the paddle-boat back to the jetty in ten minutes. Gentlemen fond of rowing are recommended' to try Webb's paddle-boat, the action being the same as rowing, only a great deal easier and pleasanter. The schooners T. B. Taylor and Kaiuma cleared out on Monday from Hokitika for Wanganni, timber-laden, the former with 37,000 ft, and the latter with 32,000 ft. Both are under charter to Messrs Malfroy, Harker, and Co. They were to sail yesterday.
