The ketch Isabella arrived from Catlin's River yes : terday moruhig,'.and passed up to Dnnedin. She left Catlin's on Sunday, and reached the Heads on Monday evening. Her cargo—a full one—consists of timber oonsigned to Messrs Guthrie and Lamach. The schooner Pioneer came in from Shag Point yesterday, with a cargo of coal consigned to Messrs Martin ■and Watson. . The repairs to the ship Devana were about finished .yesterday. Bending sails was jwoceeded with, and ether preparations made for sea. The fine ship Caroline has taken in the last of her outward freight,' and yesterday commenced to bend saiiß. She is in particularly good order—trim and taut alow and aloft—and is without (juestion one of the sightliest vessels in port. She will sail for Hong Kong early next week. The noble ship the Sussex hauled away from the •Railway Pier yesterday morning, and moored in the stream, all ready for a start to sea. She would have sailed yesterday but for one of those vexatious decent tions that so frequently occur at the last moment. ] The Peter Denny got away yesterday, and was, towed out by the Geelong. She is, bound to Cal-'. cutta. Her stay in the lower anchorage was unavoidably protracted by the difficulty of obtaining hands, the nujority of her own crew having according: to custom deserted her, and had to be- replaced' with, in all probability, deserters from other ships. Indeed, that is the rule of the Port, men leave their ships, and after keeping a short time in hiding, ship with the utmost effrontery .on board another vessel. A remedy might be applied to this exceedingly anomalous state of affairs., Why ship men who cannot produce a botui Jule discharge from their last ship? and, moreover, why is not the power of the law exerted to the uttermost to arrest deserters? Masters of ships complain that the law's machinery does not'work well unless it is freely lubricated—in other words, the chances of arresting deserters are very slight indeed, unless a reward is offered. We have heard this remarked ia half-a-dozen quarters, It would not be difficult to," keep the run" of deserters if crimping cribs were closely supervised. The barque Cesarewitch took her departure for, Port Esperance yesterday afternoon. Siie goes for xnore timber for the new pier. The Golden Age towed her halfway down the Cross-channel, and there turned her over to the Geelong, which was returning after towing out the Peter Denny. The N.Z. Co.'s steamer Wellington left for Lyttelton and the North yesterday afternoon, with 38 paseengers and 104 tons of cargo. The steamer Samson left on another trip to Oamaru yesterday morning. ." The schooner, Friendship returned to Port from another trip to Moeraki and Allday Bay. She left here on the 13th jilt, with a full.cirgo, part of which she discharged at Moeraki and part at Allday. At the former port she was caught by a heavy easterly gale and suffered a little damage through fouling the jetty. This was repaired, and she then proceeded to Allday, there landed the balance of her cargft and loaded up produce, and left for headquarters on Monday, arriving yesterday afternoon. She experienced light easterly weather along the coast.

The Wallabi-left Dunedin last Wednesday, and arrived at the Bluff on Thursday. She partly discharged, and went to Riverton on Friday, and landed immigrants and shipped railway sleepers. She'returned to the Bluff on Sunday, and filled up with timber, and left on Monday at 7, and arrived at 6 last evening. Passengers: Sir Adams, and 4 in the steerage. She brings 842 sleepers tor Mr Brogden, and 22,000 feet cut timber for Mr Guthrie, and 30 bales for Mr Russell. She passed the Lady, of the Lake off Quoin Point, and also a ship painted white, with the Jack flying at the fore, off cape Saunders. The ship was dodging- about, as if waiting- for to-morrow to run in. She is probably the Haddon Hail. The Wallabi has gone alongside the ship Dunedin, to tranship wool. ■ ■' ■ The barque Harriet Armitage, hence to Auckland, arrived there on Monday afternoon last.
