WEATHER REPORT
Moxbay, Jaxttart 4, No returns. We are unable to furnish our usual interprovincial shipping intelligence or weather report, in consequence of the telegraph lines being in bad working order. Up to ten o'clock yesterday morning there was no telegraphic inter-communication Avhatever, and after that hour the line was not in sufficiently good Aforking order to furnish the usual reports. There was quite a slioav of vessels discharging at the Afharf yesterday, and there AFas Rome pretty smart Avork performed by their respective crews, but we are aware that the Sarah and Mary carried away the palm, having in the short space of four hours and a-half discharged 120 tons of cargo. There is no doubt, taking the Avhole of the working of the A'essels at the quay yesterday, that there Avas a large amount of cargo discharged on the wharf— something like one thousand tons. In fact, it is sometime since Aye witnessed such a display of vessels discharging, and reminded us forcibly of old times. With the exception of discharging we have no shipping to report,- the bar not being passable. Outside there ato3 a tremenflous sea, and any attempt at crossing the bar Avas entirely a fallacy, which we were glad to see our harbor boats did not attempt. For the same reason the b.b. Kennedy delayed her departure until to-day.
