WEATHER REPORT.

Tuesday, November 9. No returns.

The s.s. Omeo, which was to leave Melbourne on the sth or 6th inst., should arrive at Bluff Harbor either to-morrow evening or early on Eriday morning. We presume the Omeo will come round to the West Coast via the New Zealand ports, and in due course be despatched hence to Melbourne. There is every probability that the brigantine Prosperity will put in an appearance today. The light baffling winds, which have prevailed on the Coast for some days past; has no doubt been the cause of the delay in the vessel's arrival.

There were neither arrivals or departures yesterday, and the shipping business at the wharf was almost nil. The only work done was by the Lady Don, which vessel took on board a few hundred feet of sawn timber.

Yesterday being the anniversary of the Prince of Wales' birthday, the Custom House was only open for a few hours (from ten to twelve o'clock), and there was no business whatever done.

The s.s. John Perm sailed from Greymouth at 2.30 p.m. yesterday, for Westport, en route for Manukau Harbor, via Nelson.

The clipper schooner Lady Don, which had been on the hard to get a 6crub-up, was removed to her old berth yesterday, and took on board the first instalment of her cargo of timber. She will clear out for Auckland at an early date. A steamer's whistle was heard in the offing about nine o'clock last night, which was supposed to be the s.s. Waipara, from Okarito. She would probably cross the bar early this morning. The Waipara sails for Northern ports on her next trip. There was a very poor display of bunting at the wharf yesterday, the various shipmasters being as careful of their flags as they were undemonstrative with their loyalty. The only vessel we noticed with any bunting aloft was the little^ ketchJßrothers and Sister, which flew a blue ensign during the day.

As we anticipated, the s.s. Kennedy arriyed at Nelson, from Manukau, on the Bth inst., the report of her arrival having been telegraphed through yesterday. The Kennedy would most likely sail yesterday, or early this morning, for the Coast, and may therefore be expected to put in an appearance here on Friday next.
