The New Zealand Shipping Co's barque Dunelm took her departure for London on Saturday at noon, with a full cargo of wool and wheat, consisting of 18G4 bales .nd 200 tons of grain. She has met with perhaps the best despatch that has been given to any vessel loading wool at the BlufE, and if she has a good run Home has every chance of catching the May sales. ~Tiie barque Elizabeth Graham broke bulk on Saturday, and discharged a quantity of her inward cargo. She will take-a-few bales of wool on board to-day, and will take the berth for London as soon as her inward cargo is discharged. The barque Mataura is putting out and taking in cargo at the same time. Her first instalment of frozen meat is expected down on Wednesday. Steam having being got up on the refrigerator on Friday, the mac____ery was run for some time and was found to work splendidly. Mr Waterston's topsail schooner Crest of the Wave finished loading a cargo of timber on Saturday evening, and yesterday evening she sailed for Timaru with a freshening breeze from the S.W. It is rumored at the BlufE that H M.S. Espeigle is to call there about the 14th inst. The ketch Anna is now on the beach receiving a thorough overhaul previous to the opening of the sealing season.
