At daylight yesterday morning a large steamer, -deeply laden, passed the Beads, steering eastward. She had a yellow funnel with a black top, and is doubtless a cargo-carrier Homeward-bound from Australia. The passing steamer was probably the Celtic King, bound from Sydney to London. The Wakatipu, which is duo this morning from Melbourne, via Hobart and South, sails at 8 tonight for Sydney. The Opawa left at 8 last night for Blenheim. If ■she is unable to negotiate the bar this morning, tho steamer will probably return at once to Wellington after landing her passengers. The Mawhera, for Picton, Nelson and Wosl Coast, left at 10 last night. Yesterday morning tho Queen of the South '(for Picton and Wellington) was bar-bound 41 Foxton, and Captain Harvey, in a telegram tt) the local agents, stated that it was doubtful whether she would be ablo to get oat last night. The Aorere, which arrived early yesterday morning from Picton with a quantity of produce for Patea, left for the latter place at 1.10 id tho after* coon. The Huia arrived from Wanganui at 6.85 a.m. yesterday, and returns to day. The Stormbird was placed on the slip yesterday morning, and will not leave tor Wanganui before Monday next. Tho Waihora, which arrived at 8.40 a.m. yoster- 1 day, from Sydney, via Auckland and East Coast, left for South at 7 last night. The Anglian returned from Lyttelton at 10.10 yesterday morning, and left again at 4.40 p.m. for East Coast, Auckland and Sydney. The steamer had on board a largo quantity of produce for Northern ports and Sydney. ] The Penguin, which arrived from Lyttelton at 1.20 yesterday afternoon, will, according to the \ arrangements previously published, bo placed on tho slip on Monday, and resume running on Ihe following Friday. * The Moa was to leave Wanganui for Greyraouth last night with a cargo of stock. From the Grey i she takes a load of ooal to New Plymouth. The Oreti is bringing a load of produce from Picton to Wellington to-day. It Is not yet decided whether sho will proceed hence to Wanganui or to Groymoutb. The nest passenger steamer of the New Zealand Shipping Company’s line duo in Wellington is the Kaikoura, and she should reach here on June 15th. The Kaikoura will leave Lyttelton on July Bth on her Homeward voyage. The Manaroa returned from Havelock via Picton at 2.20 p.m. yesterday, and leaves for Wanganui this afternoon. The Fanny left for the East Coast at 5 p.m. yesterday. It will be Tuesday at the earliest before

Tlio Dlugadfee arrived from Auckland via ISftst Coast at 6.15 last evening, and loaves on the return trip to-night. Very bad weather Was experienced the whole of the way down the coast, and prevented the steamer working nearly all tho bays. For two days she remained at Tauranga waiting for tho weather to moderate, but at length she resumed her journey, and was forced to carry on to Wellington the greater portion of her cargo for coastal stations. Included in the steamer’s cargo for this port are 200 tons of sugar and 1000 oases of kerosene Irom Auckland.

The Wavorley, from Nelson, came in at 7.40 yesterday morning, and during the day took in a full load of tho mining machinery for the Taitapu Estate Goldmluing Company. If the weather is favourable to-day Captain Vickerraan intends to commence to tow tho scow Rata to Sandhill Bay, Patarau river, about eight miles south of West Wanganui, and there iho machinery is to be landed.

Tho Walnui was to leave Greymouth for West port last night, and should she get away from thi latter place this morning, she will leave Nelson for Wellington at 8 o’clock to-morrow morning. II the steamer is detained in Westport until to-night her departure from Nelson for Wellington will b« postponed until 8.30 p.m. on Sunday. At the last meeting of t£e Bluff Harbour Board a pilotage exemption was granted (on tho rccommou dation of the harbourmaster) to Mr C. McArthur chief officer of the Pukaki.

As the Star of England is not leaving Auckland for Gisborne, Napier and Wellington until Monday, it will be tho end of next week at tho earliest before eho reaches this port. To-day the Pukaki is to leave Westport for Wellington with coal for shore and hulk supply.
