The' Harbor Master, Captain Allafdyca, yesterday received the: following "telegram from the Meteorological Wellington:- "Expect bad weathei, any direction between nortn-ea'st and north and west; expejbfr' glass to fill again Booii.and ttie sea is likely to increase?' Later in the evening the following was received: — "Likely to have river very high op flood." The' Steamer Kennedy, after being detained here for nine days through stress of weather, left for the North yesterday! crossing the bar easily about 11 a.m. Yesterday forenoopi a schooner made its appearance in the roadstead, and hoisted the usual signal for the tug. Owing, we understand, to the fact _of the Dispatch not having steam up, she- did -not 'proceed outside •■ as ex^editioUsly as the captain of the schooner seemed to expect, and without any unnecessary delay he steered direct for- the bar; crossing it with the greatest ease, and codling' safely sad gracefully up to a berth, alongside the wharf; The vessel proved to < be 'the' schooner Martha Keid, from Nelson, in ballast, and Captain Linstrom may claim the'thonoPbf being the first for many years • to -cross the bar without the assistance of towage. Whi'6 making the Bomewhat hazordous attempt she was' splendidly Handled. The Martha Reid will load coal from the Greymotith Coal Cdmpany'a mine for Nelson.
