Anxious to be away, and fearful from the appearance of the weather that another N.W. gale was at hand, which would be likely to indefinitely extend the term of his vessel's already long imprisonment, Captain Fitzeimmone made arrangements with the Challenge to escort the Tinonee into the roadetead, and yesterday morning at high water, in the midst of a deluge of rain, both vessels left the wharf and cleared the bar in good style. The commonest precaution only was ÜBed in engaging the services of the Challenge, for a strong freshet was in the fjrer, and th« turn round the North Spit

exceedingly sharp for a vessel of the Tjnonee'e length to make in such a current. However, she is 'at last clear of our in'tricato harbor, and we trust, that the noxt tiino the Tiuoneo visits Westland she will receive quicker despatch than that accorded to her on her first trip down. Tho schooner Emma Jane sailed from Manukau, at 4 p.m. on the 14th inst. with I steady N.E. breezes and rain, and after an excellent run of sixty hours, arrived oil" Hokitika at 4 a.m. on the 17th. An impassable bar kept her outside until the 19th, when she was towed in by the Challenge. The Emma Jane brings a cargo of timber, lime, and bricks, and has supplied us with files of late Auckland papers, for which we thank the courtesy of Captain Wilson. The bar was worked on yesterday morning's tide, but owing to the troubled 3tato of the roadstead, nothing was done in the way of transhipment from either of the steamers lying there. The Persevere steamed out to the Gothenburg, with the intention of clearing her of passengers' luggage, but the sea proved too heavy, and after remaining outside for nearly two hour «, this little craft, so worthy of the name she bears, returned to the river, having only succeeded in securing four packages. Fortunately the surf offered no opposition to tho departure of outward bound vessels, of which due advantage was taken, as the Yarra towed to sea the schooners Excelsior and Dunedin, bound to Dunedin, and the Isabella Jackson, which cleared for Lyttelton, and was again moored to the wharf before breakftißt time. The tide was not lost by the Challenge, as she conveyed the Tinonee across the bar, and filled one of the quay berths vacated, by bringing in the schooner Emma Jane, from Manukau. More she would have effected but for the heavy freshet that was still running, as that alone prevented her from towing in the brigantine Sarah and Mary and the barque Frederic. The latter has suffered a most unusual detention, even for this eccentric port, she having been beating about the coast for nearly throe weeks. Circumstances, however, have not favored her, and the enforced departure of the Challenge for Greymouth, on the occasion of the stranding of the schooner Maid of Erin, may be considered as the chief cause of her delay, as through it she lost an excellent opportunity, the recurrence of which has since been prevented by the weather. We hope, however, to see her moored in the tier to-day. Owing to the heavy rain of Sunday night and yesterday morning, which swelled the river enormously, the bar waa not workable for towing on evening's tide. We can report a good channel still running B.S.W. It is both wide and deep, as the Tiuonee and Yarra found respectively two fathoms, aud eleven I feet in the morning. ' The torrents of rain that fell yesterday morniug were, we trust, the termination to the spell of N.W. weather which has prevailed on the coast during the past fortnight, as immediately afterwards the wind veered to west, and the broken appearance of the heavens indicated that a further change was at hand. This was verified in the afternoon, when the wind hauled to S.W. and entirely dispersed the heavy vapour clouds which, surcharged with ruoi*ture, have been reducing the v.ho "country to the condition of a mere swamp. i\w evening turned out beautifully fine and clear, and v,i> hope that the promise thus conveyed of a continuation of southerly weather will not prove illusory. After a delay of two days the p.s. Bruce, bound to the Grey and Buller, cleared the river yesterday afternoon between five and six o'clock. She carries away a full cargo anrl 37 pa&s r engers, of whom 15 land at Greymouth, and the balance at the Buller. Should the weather prove favorable, the majority of the lat ter will proceed no further than Pakihi ; but as the chance of landing ihere is exceedingly doubtful, their debarkation is only guaranteed at tho more accessible Buller. The Bruce had a rough time when crossing the bar, but struggled through the surf manfully, and, favored by a splendid south-west breeze, rapidly disappeared to the northward under full steam and sail. The departure of the s.s. Taranaki was prevented yesterday afternoon by the heavy sea running, which rendered transhipping an impossibility. She will, however, leave on this morning's tide, providing, of course, that the elements proro favorable. Another smart tug boat will be shortly added to the fleet already assembled on the West Coast, as Mr Kennedy, who lately proceeded to Melbourne, as agent for the Greymouth Steam Tug Company, succeeded in securing the new p.s. Dispatch for the sum of L 7250, cash down — LBOOO being the price at firßt demanded. We derive our information from a sure, although private, source, and may further add that the departure of the Dispatch for New Zealand, was fixed to take place on the 13th instant (laßt Tuesday). Her arrival on the West Coast may therefore be expeL-ted towards the latter end of this week. The following intelligence received from Wellington by submarine telegraph, is an extract from the columns of the Christchurch " Evening Mail " of the 14th instant : — " The steamer St. Kilda has arrived from the Chatham Islands, bringing the crew of the Lizzie Scott, which sailed from this port for Callao, and which was totally lost on the 3rd instant near Point Eveque. All hands saved. Captain West, of the Lizzie Scott, remains at the Chathams, where an euquiry into the cause of the wreck is to be held. It is stated that the vessel's loss was caused by negligence. No intelligence of the schooner Sea Serpent."
