Late on Wednesday afternoon tho s.s. Wainui having completed tho repairs to her bottom in tbe Klotting Dock, was undocked, and at once proceeded to Dunedin u-ider canvas. 'Die bar pie Pmspecror, lately from Chili, was imm -dritely afterwards taken in for ex;iini"aluin. Un the water being pumped out the barquu'n c-.ppT waa found to be in a fine stato o( preservation, not tho hast strain being visible. Thero was, however, a small portion of th:-* copper knocked off the falso keel, which was sp-edily repla cd by tho Dock Company, nnd tho barque was taken out acjaiii ye-ter.lay afternoon. To-morrow the large bulk California, belonging to Messrs Jlutvhison and Co . will ba taken into the dock for the purpose of receiving a thoroughoverhaul and r. pairs. The steamer Comerang will bo the next vessel requiring the services of tho <l"ck. While the California is repairing, tho steamer will mako another trip to Lyttelton and intermediate ports. The ship H.-autiful Star tnok the.»first of her w..0l on board yesterday afternoon. Tho slip Willi nn Davie takes her first batch in to-in-irni".v. Tlie ship Timnru commences discharging hor cargo on Monday. By that timo the gi-eatcr portion of her entries will bo passed, enabling ht r ca-yo lo be discharged quiculy. Tho soho.>ner Alios which put back to tho Heads, hound to ICnkanui, sailed for her destination yo-tcrday morning. New luri;. n Steam Uoi'tb.—A new ocean s'-.ouu route Iras just commenced. On the 13th nit , thu Piiui.-c Steam Navigation Company, who for many years have successfully carried <>;i the mail s-rvico on the west coast if! South America, despatched from Liverpool the steam r Pacifi-:. 2000 tons and 500 Borse-p^'.ver, wi*h accommodation for about 250 tii-Kt-cla«.s psrsing-rs, for Rio Janeiro, Woutcvidco. aud Valparaiso, calling at St. JTazaiiv, Lisbon, and St Yin ent. Desirous i>f direct cotii«iunicuion with K'ngland, the Chilian '■ Mfeornment opened negotiations with ihe Pa iii-jS* earn Company forthuperformanco i)f a s'ircial mail scrvic.-, aud ashorttime back the contract was concluded, tho present hem" tho first v .yago under it. The contract"with the Chilian .Government is to perform the vnvagc, both out and home, iv I forty-two days,"including all stoppages, and tho Pacific fully earned out this speed in her homeward passage. At first the servic- is to bo only once in two months, but in a short timo, it is said, a new and splendid fleet of steamers of 2500 tons will be ready, when the communL-ation will bo monthly, taking passengers from Liverpool, &c, to Rio Janeiro. Monte Video, and Valparaiso direct, and thus avoiding the annoyance of tran shipment, &c., via Panama, for those bound for tho West Coast. Messrs H. Griffiths,
