-■■■ The Lyttelton leaves Blenheim for KeW rangu to-day. < The Murray, with the San Francisco mail, - sailed for West Coast ports this mornings The. Charles Edward arrived from the .West Coast last night. Her departure for Wellington bas been postponed until sit ■o'clock to-morrow night. The Kennedy is at Hokitika. She was _ finable' to discharge cargo to-day on account of a heavy rain and N.W. weaiber. The Wakatu will arrive here from Wei- ' lington to-roorrow morning,, and sail for Wanganui and Wellington' at 7 p.m. The Arawata- will arrive at Wellington to-morrow morning, and sail for Sydney via ... 'East Coast-ports in the afternoon. . -The steamer Go-ahead has just been fitted with new engines and thoroughly overhauled %t Wellington at an enormous cost. , The Taiaroa leaves Wellington this afternoon, will arrive here to-morrow morning, " and sail for Taranaki and Manukau by the same tide at 11 a.m. The Wellington, with the San Francisco snail, arrived in harbor at 10 o'clock last c night. Her movements since leaving Onehunga on Monday have been kept well posted up by telegraph, , so that there is no necessity for us to give a full report of the passage. Ife may be ineutioned, howv ever, that from the time of t,he Wellington leaving Taranaki until her arrival at Wel- ■'-," lington a hard S.E. gale with heavy sea and thick foggy weather were experienced, and . her bottom being in a foul condition, at t times she~made but very little progress, the passage occupying-24 hours. The Wellington sailed for Picton and Wellington at 10 30 a.m. to-day. . We learn that the recent trip of the mail steamer Australia was a determined trial «xecuted by the Pacific Mail Company fot the purpose of ascertaining.™ hat the line is ;- capable of as a trial service. Witfi this ■ view a good deal of cargo was refused, and the steamer.. put . in good trim for the run. - Stoppages were reduced to a minimum, and \ ether preparations made for getting the best , speed that could be maintained without in ' v* any . "way unduly pressing the steamer or ; straining, her machinery. The result has , been a remarkable success. In consequence of the Australia arriving in Aucklaud three / days before her time 19 saloon and ? steerage : passengers for Sydney missed their passage :"; by her. /_ ■ "
