The 8.8. Waitaki, Captain Edie, arrived at the Breakwater from Dnnedin to-day rtvortiy after her usual time. She left at S o'clock, and had a tine weather trip, though it wan exceedingly cold until neariug J On her last trip to Dunedin a piece was broken off out; of the blades of the propeller, which .slightly interferes with her etoamintr powers. Ou rofciiru'ng to Punedtn Abu will be placed in the dock for the purpose of having die damage repaired- ihe Waitaki brought a large_ number of passengers and about G>) tons ot" cargo. The p.a. Samson, Captain Jones, steamed for Dunedin last evening with a fair number of passengers and a small cargo. There has been considerable delay in loading the achooner Dunedin for V\ eatport owing to the prudnce not coming forward as it might. She cleared at the Customs today, but will not sail, we believe, for some time yet, ad she has still a largo quantity of cargo to take ou board. Tho achooner Jane Anderson has commenced loading with produce for Hokit iUa. The schooner Maggie Paterson was hauled alongside tho wharf thi.) morning to discharge her cargo of timber. She will probably load with produce for Hokitika. The inducements offered not having been ninth ciently encouraging to warrant the Oarron in making Melbourne her first port of destination, sho iiua commenced loading for Newcastle. Tho schooner Ancie Ffilt is taking produce ou board for inwrcargdl. The schooner Pelican lun commenced discharging her cargo of timber, and will probably'load wltli produce for Wellington. A eurioaa circumstance, almost unknown In whipping anna.N. ooeiirred (says the Nelson Mail) on board the ban pie Cluiudiere lately. Birring the morning the donkey-engine on board the hulk He.ra was busily engaged rattling salt out of the Cluiudiere, and so great wa» the friction that a large wooden block, suspended a'"ft. through which tin' rope rut's, caught lire, and in a very short tiruo way in ll.uoes.
