Thh Lady Barkly advertisemeut in this issue annouuees an excursion trip by this steamer on Boxing Day, to Motueka and back. Those preferring to stay another day at either side of tho bay, will be allowed to do so upon the same return ticket. The P.N.Z. aud A.R.M. steamship Kaikoura arrived at Wellington at 2-30 a.m. yesterday morning. Sho brings advices from Europo to the Bth November, and from New York to the 9th Nov., and the following Passengers : For Wellington—Mr. and Mis 3 Fitzherbert, Messrs. Wills, Rowlands, Hoggard, Daniell (2), Arthur, Cook, Dawkor (2), Mrs. Morrison and four children. For Nelson—Mr. Milner. For Greymouth—Mrs. Blackmore.

Kennedy.—The Westport Times of Dec. 19, states, that " a report reached town yesterday that the steamer Kennedy had got ashore, or in the surf, near tho Teremakau. We understand that the vessel was in a position of danger, but got off, and was, last evening, off Hokitikn. The Wallaby was at anchor off the Grey." A Smart Passage.—The Alhambn parted with the pilot off Nelson lighthouse on Friday murning, at 12 o'clock. By a private telegram from Wellington we learn that she reached the French Pass at 315 the same day, and arrived at Wellington lighthouse at B'3o the same night. English Ships Loading for Nrlson— On Oct. 30, the Fanny was loading at London; and the steamer Alliance at Liverpool. The Westport Times of Dec. 18, says:—" Considerable anxiety is felt with regard to tho safety of the ketch Constant, of this port, which left ■ Charleston on Sunday last, with the owner, Mr. E. Suisted, nnd two seamen on board. The ketch sailed from Charleston for Westport, but at neither port hns she arrived, nnd, as the weather has been extremely rough during the week, tho?e is an apprehension that gprae accident oocurred to her, or that she has been driven to sen, in which case the position of those on board would, indeed, be lamentable, When ehe left

Charleston there were only five loaves of bread on board, with some trifling supplies of provisions which would soon be exhausted. An active look-out has been kept from the shore at both ports within the last few days, but there has been no sign of a vessel answering her description, and, yesterday, as the steamer Waipara came up from Charleston, Bhe could descry no such vessel in the offing. It is said that when last seen the ketch was two miles to the leeward or south-ward of the Steeples."

WOOL SALES. There is no change in the tone of the market. A few transactions at last sales' rates have taken place, but they are trifling. The sales at Antwerp will commence on the 3rd November, and will comprise about 38,000 bales Buenos Ayres wool, mostly of very inferior description. For last series of London ! colonial wool sales, which will probably commence j on the 19th November, the arrivals up to date comprise—6Blß bales Port Philip, 13,729 bales Sydney, 807 bales Adelaide, 8481 bales New Zealand, 178 bales Van Diemen's Land, 18,039 bales Cape. Total, 51,616 bales. With whac is held over and'may still be expected to arrive in time, the total quantity to be offered will probably reach 40,000 bales Cape, and 70,000 bales Australia..
