The weather has been very hazy all day, making ifc difficult for any veisek 10 approach the harbor. Duriug the few intervals of clear weather no. vessels have been signalled as in the neighborhood of the Heads.

The hulk has been fitted out as a prison at great expense, and Mr Joseph Tuckwell lives on board as custodian, but no provision has yet been made for the oversight and dieting of prisoners. Only recently a number of seamen who were brought up for trial at Port Chalmers, had to be conveyed to aa<l from the Dunedin prison, involving an amount of trouble and expense which would have been, avoided had sum" -. ■cient preparation been made, by. the appointment of .warders or other officials, for their accoinoda'tion in the Thomas aad Henry.
