PORT OF BLUFF HARBOR.
Wednesday. The barque Bildovan has discharged 10,055 rails up to this afternoon. She has 160 tons of ballast still to take in. The brig Craig Ellachie h*s cleared at the Customs To-day for Sydney. The loading of tho ship Waitara is new drawing towards completion. All her cafgo will be stowed away to-morrow, and as her gails are all bent, she will doubtless sail on Vhe only arrival to-day has been the new cutter built at Stewart's Island for Mr Chas. Trail), of Paterson's Inlet. She is a trimlooking vessel, painted wbi'e, and haa been built by that gentleman for the purpose of making regular trips between the Bluff and the island, and i 3 intended solely for the conveyance of passengers and mails between the two places. Regular communication has been for some time back urgently required, and with the superior accommodation orovided in this vessel, be?Hes the freadom from the odoriferous scents which cling around the other vessels, consequent upon their trading in fish and oysters, doubtless many will avail themselves of the opportunities afforded to take a run over to the island, knowing that they will be returned safely during the same •week.
