A large waterspout was seen from the deck of the Wallace on Monday last, about three miles N.W. of the Spit Lighthouse. The Wanganui is expected to arrive here from Wellington and South about Sunday. She sails for Westport and Greymouth on Monday. The Groydon Lags will resume her vovage to Patea to-night. The Arawata, with the Suez mail, leaves Melbourne for New Zealand ports tc day. She will be due here on Saturday week. The Wellington sails for Picton and Wellington this afternoon. The Lyttelton arrived from Blenheim last night at 8 o'clock. She returns to the same port at 11 o'clock t> morrow morning. The Murray leaves Westport this evening, calls at Greymouth to-morrow morning for the San Francisco mail, ana leaves again by the same tide for Westport and Nelson. The Taiaroa leaves Onehunga t» lay, will arrive here tc morrow night, and sail for for Picton and Wellington at 9 am. on Saturday. Charles Edward steamed to the mooring posts this afternoon for the purpose of having her compasses adjusted. She sails for West Coast ports at 11 o'clock to-mor-row morning. The Grafton arrived here at 5 p.m. yesterday, having left Wellington early in the morning. She sailed for Westport and Greymouth at 8 a m. to-day. Although the mines at West Wanganui are reported to be flooded, coal from that place appears to be still finding its way into the Wellington market, the schooner Aspasia having arrived at that port the other day with a cargo. ■ The Wallace returned to port this morning at five o'clock, after vainly endeavoring to reach Westport. She left here on Saturday afternoon, and experienced strong S.W. winds down the Bay with a heavy sea, which increased so much as the steamer neared the Spit, that she was forced to come to an anchor, where she remained until Monday morning, when she proceeded on her voyage at 7*30. Off Cape Farewell strong S.W. winds with a nasty sea were met with, and the Wallace was compelled to beat a retreat, this time bringing up at Totaranui, which was reached on Monday night. She started again yesterday morning, but on nearing the Sp'itEnd there was found to be still too much wind blowing for her, and as the coal was by this time beginning to ian short, Captain Palmer deemed it advisable to return to Nelson, where the steamer arrived as above. The Wallace will tranship her cargo into the Charles Edward, and sa"' for Wellington at 3 p.m. to-morrow.
