Discharged the sleepers there, loaded up for this port, and returned to the Molyneux, filled with cargo, at 8 p.m. on Thursday. A very bad sea was running upon the Molyneux bar, but she crossed all right, and with a spanking S.W. breeze behind her, headed along the coast, and arrived alongside the Calypso at 7.3 i a.m. yesterday. Transhipped wool, and subsequently landed some cargo at the Old Jetty and then steamed to Dunediu with the balance of her cargo.

The steamer Samson left yesterday morning on her accustomed second weekly trip to Oamaru. Mr J.

The ketch Glimpse, stone laden fromMoeraki, came in on Thursday, and proceeded to Dunedin. The ketch Lloyd's Herald has been placed on Isbister's slip. This time she is to receive a most efficient repairing from keel to rail. No doubtful place will be passed over; but it is the intention of her owners to make her thoroughly staunch and efficient at all points.

The ketch Defiance came down from Dunedin yesterday, and anchored in Deborah Bay. We notice that the line schooner Owake in advertised to sail for Wanganui via Oamaru on Wednesday next She is now receiving cargo. The good ship Waikato is donning her sea garb all her square sails being at the yards and furled shipshape and Bristol fashion. Bending the fore and afters was commenced yesterday, and will be proteeded with between whiles. We notice that her cargo is flowing in apace, the dumping machine beinc seldom idle.

After releasing the Queen of the Seas on Thursday night the Geeloiig towed her to good anchorage off Carey's Bay, and there yesterday morning the barque disembarked the horses she brought from Hobart Town. They were landed at Carey's Bay and went overland to Dunedin.

The brig Prairie sailed down from Dunedin yesterday mornin<r and anchored below the shipping. She T/ill sail for Hobart Town with the first N.E, mud. The arrival of the European Mail via Suez at the Bluff yesterday morning had the effect of postponiii" the steamer Wellington's departure for the North" The Wellington had steam up ready for a start passengers came down by the mid-day train to join •when, instead of thd order to 'single line" being given the mandate to "keep all fast, and lower steam, was raised. The postponement was not to be averted, became the Wellington is a subsidised niailtoat, and according to contract can be detained twenty-four hours for mails. She leaves the Port tomorrow forenoon at 10 o'clock, and takes with her the Northern portion of the European mail. Nothing unforeseen preventing, the steamer Albion with the mails, will put in an appearance at daylight tins morning. She has a large cargo and heavy casaenger list for this Port. * p

_ The barque Ainur-a Sunderland-built vessel, hailing from Freemautle, Western Australia, and com manded by Captain Fergusson, both vessel and master being on their first visit to this Port—arrived yesterday afternoon, in tow by the steamer Geelonir. The Amur has been some time expected, and comes here from Foo-cnow-foo, with a cargo of 240 tons of tea, consigned to Messrs W. and G. Turnbuli and Co The Amur was 70 days on her way, having left Foo-Chow-Foo on the sth November, and, with the Mongoon behind her, made a ratt/ing run down the China Sea, Haycock—the first of the islands—being sighted on the 15th. Then the commencement of a long"spell of light variable weather set in, land and sea breezej amongst the islands being pretty well defined. Lowe's Island was passed on the luth, and Totya on the 20th on which day the crossed the Equator in long lOC 30 E. Sighted Puloe Island on the line. W.N W winds earned, her into south latitude, and then calms and light variables humbugged her for two or three days. She was off Java Head on the 25th, and passed Anjer Point on the 2oth, m company with the barque Hopewell, bound to New York from Hong Kong. Off the point the wind hauled to S.W., and blew up a heavy gale, compelling both. vessels to bear up and seek shelter under Sibrocko. This) was on the 29th. Put to sea again next morning. Passed lions jn the 3rd December, and caught the S.E. trade on the 4th in lat, 10.13, long. 105 E. Had a good fresh trade, and lost it on the 16th December, in lat. 32 32 S. Light winds, calms, and variables prevailed during the ensuing six days, very poor progress being made. On the 22nd the wind came out northerly, but still light, and held so and variable to the 27th, when the first of the westerlies found her lat 4b 8., long- 104 E., the passage winds bearing between N.W. and S.W., and steadily stuck to the ship. On tne 29th December she crossed the meridian of the Lemvin, and on the loth instant arrived within si<*ht of the North Snares. , On the whole, ths westerlies »nJ"-1 ollk T x at timt s fiery-and a heavy sea ran until the «h January, the barque at times shipping a great deal of water. From the Snares she encountered variable winds and weather, and hence did not fetch tne Heads until yesterday forenoon, and was towed in by the Geelong. She anchored for an hour or two at the Port, aud then proceeded on to Dunedin. On the 26th November she spoke the barque Orange Grove Irom Hong Kong lo Melbourne, G5 days out; and on the same day, the barque Duke of Athol, from FooL.no v-b oo to London, 20 days out. ■ Axi incident of more than ordinary interest occurred passage. On the 9th November Emma iaood, the Captain's wife's hand-maiden, was married to the barque g. carpenter, John Thoows, by Captain iergujon, in presence of witnesses. The validity of this mama-ie may, we believe, be called in question so we would recommend the young couple to improve the sphee.: -. . ..*■:.

The American man-of-war Swatara sailed for the Bluff last evening. From the Bluff she goes to Hobart Town.
