The Rangitoto had not yet shown up last night when we went to yress ; but from what ■we oau learn, it is almost certain she will do so to-day. Arrangements have been made to tenler her as soon after arrival po.-s'.ble, and despatch her for Northern ports. Yesterday, the shipping telegrams announced the arrival of the s.s. Tararua at "Wellington. She is expected here this evening, but too late to be tendered. The probability is that she will be tendered and de-patched on Sunday's a.m. tide. The Tararua takes up the Englih JWail to Melt)ourne 'Ih 3ssel at the -wharf, or r;;ther tho crew; th^m, were yesterday j-irnV'-a them: s, in the absence of nmiv profit.-ibii ' ipl Lint, in gaily decorating the mastheads «id other portions of the vessels with everg eens. The effect, which was pleasing, show ' that the honest tars had as much respe for old Father Christmas as their lone- >re friends. 'The Isabella, coal laden, from Greymouth war, tf ved in yesterday. Sue will commence dischf .•ging after the holidaj's. W > were in error in stating that the echoo lev '1 hree Friends had come from Westport. !• ho came fiom Hunt's Beach. Tl'.e Waipara, since she return, d from the south has paid a visit to Greymouth, from whence she returned on Thursday evening •with Isabella in tow. She left tfie lightev in the roadstead, and crossed the bar that i ight. tester-day, at high water, she retun 3(1 outsidp, and brought her tow inside. The /"aipara will remain at head-quarters for ih i pr< sent for the purpose of assisting in tendering the Melbourne steamers now due.
