The Gothenburg arrived in the forenoon from I Lvtt^ton, wluoh she left at - p.m. cm' Tuesday. Re- I vorts that on Monday the Harwcod from London hail arrived at Lyttelton with a full ear.ro, and a iimiu-d | immb-r oi' passeii?ers. She had rarhcr a lentrthy j>;i-->aai' out. The Lord AVorslcy, which had come in from Otfrio, was to leave on the same afternoon as the Gothenburg. The schooner. Sea Gull, which had sailed for Port Otaco, had put back in consequence of j ihe «raie on Sa'urday. but had again sailed, and was j passed i>v tho Gothenburg this morning abreist .»} j Shan Point, On her way to Port Copper, the j (TCtiieiiburi; accomplished the distance from Port Ota^o to Akaroa in twelve hours. She is announcel to saii on Friday. j The Gee'on.cr, for Oamarn, and tho Guuliivj; Star, for Southland, both mailed to-day, carrying with them a number of passengers. Two brigs appeared f\t the Heads in the course of j thuday, and in consequence of the south-westerly | lirceze"pr(jvailin<r, have anchordi there in the mean- j tiaie. They are the Jano, from Melbourne, some i time due ; "and thy Cosmopolite, from Hobarf | Town. Tlie Abdul Medjid jjoes alongside the hullc, Cnlifornia, to discharge. It i-; represented by those who eune out with her that great interest was beinj; taken in England iii the news luul been recci\ed from Otago'," and that it was expected to result in a con-j Kiderable emigration thither, should the accounts cuiitinue to be at all favorable. On Tuesday several persons were summoned before the Undent "Mag'stvate at Port Chalmers for having b larded the GotUtubur^ on bur last arrival fiom M<duourne before the vessel was cleared by the oiticer <:f Customs. In wich case the offence was admitted, ainl the iieni-h inflicted a penalty ot £1 and costs. Notwithstanding previous examples, and the common knowledge of the law, such breaches of the harbor laws were threatening to become too frequent, and it would I.'-/ weii for those having O'/r.asiou to visit ships arriving in port to know that they reader themselves liable U> be fined to the extent of £;>, if not more, by Jiastily boarding tlie vessel. It would be at tli-i same time well if (as we believe Is contemplated^ the rejju-lati-jn on the subject were- made more spocific and distinct. As it .stands, it U obviously open to be read in a way which materially affect* its meaning. To-day, C'avtain Mackie. of the Gothenburg, was fined iL'lw i>v a contravention of the PaKseiiLrer Act, inasmuch :ls on his last trip he had on board a horte, while at the same time conveying passengers.

Thebri^EU'-n is Ihe nextcoal-laden vessel expected from Newcastle. It is anticipated that the Margaretha Roesnt-r will not sail as was intended.
