No further communion tion will be held wilh the steamer Otago, as sho leaves the ron<lsti>a J for Melbourne this morning so soon after the breakfast hour a3 the transhipment of her passengers to the Persevere can be effected. She h.is secured a fair freight of passengers and gold-dust. Tho latter comprises 3800 ounces shipped by the Union B ink, and 2330 ounces shipped by the Bank of Now South Wales. Acting under the powers vested in him by the new harbor regulations of the colony, Captain Turnbull, the harbor-master, ha? taken fis-dt steps towards this removal of ihe two old wrecks which havo so long lumbered the riverbeJ, and are likoly to become very serious obstructions to the navigation of the port if nut disposed of bcilmj tho spring floods como down. An adrcstisemenfc in another column gives notice that, unless the wrecks arc removed by ihe ovsmsrs (whoever they may be) ■within three days, • live work will bo nu lertaken at thoir risk and expense, by tho Government. The Grry mouth stcamrr Dispatch arrived in the roadstead fiom Greymouth shortly after sunset last evening, with passengers and gol-.1, to bo transhipped to tho steamer Otago. This was no doubt eiTeeted last night, and wo presume the Dispatch then returned to Greymouth. An advertisement elsewhere gives notice that the fine steamer John Perm will leave Hokitika for tho llanukau, via intermediate ports, on Saturday next. We hope to see the
John Perm fetch the wharf thh trip, and think, moreover, there is every probability of her doing so if the surf is only moderate. Tho return of easterly weather has, by roducing the surf, wrought a most beneficial change in the state of fcha bar, which yesterday afternoon wa3 worked to a great advantage by the steamer Persevere. The port is really beholden to this handy vessel and to hey plucky captain as besides the good service she rendered yesterday in tendering liio Olago she lightened tho town of one-half ihe dullness by simply proving that the bar is not only to bo worked, but worked easily. Owing to the uncertainty that existed respecting tho lay of tho channel, depth of water, &c., Captain Eobertson decided to only make tho outward passage, in order that tho most favorable moment of tide for crossing the bar might be at J)i3 command. He chose young ebb for the attempt, and then with seventy- three passengers and several thousand ounces of gold on board cast off from the wharf and steamed round tho point of the 'north bench, and through tho long reach of water between the spits towards tho bar. The surf was very irregular, intervals of smooth water alternating with patches of break that at times were rather heavy. Tho Persevere, however, reached the point of the South Spit, where tho outward and final turn has to be made at a most opportune moment, and by the help of tho staysail got her bows round right smoothly. She soon cleared the surf, her every movement denoting a clear channel and plenty of water, and when we last saw her she wa3 banging nstera of the Olago comfortably transhipping her living freight. She will return to the river thi3 afternoon, bringing in the Otago's passengers and mails.
