There was no busiuess transacted at the Custom House on Saturday, the day being observed as a strict holiday. .'" ~',... c., - , In tho report in our Saturday s issue of tbe arrival ofthe Bella A'ista from Melbourne, the name of Mr. Brooke was put down as agent of the vessel, instead of J. L. and C. Burke. The Airedale arrived this (Sunday) morning, from the Bluff, which she left on Saturday, having made a quick passacc up. She had very heavy weather on the pa««age down, arriving at mid-day ou the 22nd,----and at, midnight on tlio same day the Guiding Star •irrived after being several days in the shelter ot the Nug-'et's The Aphrasia. which left Port Otago ou Friday, arrived fit the BlulY at 1 p.m. on Saturday. -There were no other vessels at the Bluft during the Airedale's stay. Her departure Ibr tiie North is advertised for Tuesday. Except for the amateur races, there have been numerous entries for each race included in the pro--nnmine ofthe Port Chalmers Regatta, and the Committee br.vo completed their arrangements for rendering the sports as successful and nttraclivc us possible.'"' With good weather, the day should be a great one at Port C'hnhiici-s, and a huge influx of visitors may reasonably bo expected from Dunedin and the contiguous sea-side villages. . ~..,„. The Samson and the Lyttelton both went to AVaikouaiti on Saturday with' a few passengers; the Samson immediately returning, convoying on her trip back a number of diggers who had gone down some ilaysbetbrc, and who had retraced their steps, finding tbe weather and the country to bo such as to render digging quite impossible in the meantime. The maionty,"bv the accounts they gave did not seem to have gone" to the precise locality of the diggings, but they describe the snew to be lying sodeep over the country, and the district to be so destitute of timber, that tbey were discouraged from proceeding or setting to work to try tho value of the ground. They state, however, that the country has a most auriferous appearance, and seem confident that in the spring time there will be a considerable rush to the district, aud good results obtained.
