VESSELS 13 POUT. - Brigantines— Jane Lockhart, Colonist

Schooners— Caroline, Meteor,- Ennn.% Elizv John Mitchell, Kate, Laty Darling. Cut! cr — Lapwing. Steamers— Yarra, Lioness, "Wallaby.

The Wallaby, s.s., sails to-day for the Or ey and Nelson at noon. "Wo presume the usual mail will be made up, although we have not received notice to that effect from the Postmaster.

Very shortly there will be another h.ir.dy lilLle steamer added to our coasting and harbor fleet for we were informed yesterday by Messrs Henderson and Bonar that they had received advices from Messrs M'Meckan and Blaekwood, to the effect that the p.s. Persevere had been pinchased by I hem, and would be dispatcher] for Hokitika on the 15lh inst. Her arrival therefore may be looked for daily. Specifications of the vessel have not yet arrived, so that we are unable to give a description of her, save 'hat she is the smartest vessel of her class ever sent from Melbourne down here, can carry 45 tons of cargo under hatches, and is of ve;y light draught of water. II 13 purposed to at once place her in the coasting trade, between this |HpHJ^^^JJßjOiOwnaayKutsn^left bound for the Grey and reached the entrance to that river safely, but in attempting to cross the bay grounded on the Worth Spit, and although, she succeeded in backing off it and regaining the channel was, before she could be got under command again swept on to the.South Spit, where she now lies in much the same position as that occupied by the Star of the Evening. When the Wallaby left the Grey yesterday, on the top of high water she - was still hard and fast aground, but it is expected'she will be removed from her perilous situation in the course of two or three tides. We have not heard the cause -whichled to this mishap. The brigantine Colonist left Sydney on the 4th instant with easterly winds and fine weather. For six days after her departure she contended with a succession of gales from S.S.E. to N.N.E., which kept her under small canvas but did not compel her to heave to. On the 11th the weather-moderated, and during the remainder of the passage light winds and fine weather°prcvailed. The Colonist made her first landfall off the Grey on the 18th, but calms and a strong northerly set kept her in the oiling until the evening of the next day, when she anchored off Hokitika, towing to the wharf astern of the Lioness on t*ie 20th. She brings a mixed cargo, including 36 tons of coal.
