PROJECTED DEPARTURES.

Mannpouri, s.s., for Southern ports and Melbourne, Kith inst. Warearapa, s.s., for Northern ports and "Sydney, 16th inst. . The Wairoa returned from the Wairoa last •night, having landod goods at Whakaki on iho trip down the const. v The Wailaki arrived and anchored in tho bay at 0.30 p.m. yesterday. It was dark at tho timo, and she was not brought insido until this morning. Hor cargo Will bo landed on Lho breastwork to-day, and she steams for ports at noon. The bar at tho port is improving:. Wo sup- . ■ poso tho construction of tho breakwater has something to do with this. Yesterday lho Ohau was brought in. drawing 13ft3in nftnnd 12CI 9in forward. She, however, look the ■ground opposite' tho breastwork, thus plainly proving that a proper dredge is required, so that tho channel may bo kept wide and deep. We have no hesitation in saying that as the fcrenkwater goes out the dopth of wator on ' tho bar will increase, and we should not be surprised to sco 18ftof water on it in less than twelve months. But of what benefit will that be if there is only 13£t at tho wharf nnd no room to swing a vessel of the size that would tltaw 17ft ? - By private wiro we lenrn that tho Kami only left Auckland on Tuesday night, She should show up hore this evening. The Woka bavins completed tho coating of lior bottom on Nortlio's slip is lo bo launched this afternoon. Tho- s.s. Olmu, Captain Bcrnccho, arrived at 11.15 a.m. yostorday, and was at once . brought insido. She left Dunedin on the Gth inst., called at intermediate ports, and loft Wellington at 2.15 p.m. on Tuesday. She was • . Tiorthed at the breastwork, and commenced' landing her cargo at 1 p.m. Tho cargo boing large, her sailing was postponed until 11 o'clook last night, when sho loft for Gianornc,' Tanranpa, and Auckland. Sho proceeds from , tho lattor port to tho West Const for coals as usual. Tho Result is taking in cargo for tho Mohaka, and will call at that place on her • next trip to Wairoa if sufficient inducement . offers. .' ,'' Tho Australia had not arrived when our report left tho Spit last night, but she no doubt will be at the breastwork this morning. Sho is advertised to steam for Gisborne, ' AVaiporo, Tuparoa, Hick's Bay, and Auckland at 0.30 o'clock this ovening.
