The good steamer Waipara arrived yester day from Greymouth with a full cargo, she will tender the Maori to-day, Bhould that vessel make her appearance in the offing.

The steamer Kennedy, shortly after leaving Westpprt, broke one of her shafts. She had only got the length of the Buller Steeples when she was obliged to run back. §he is reported to have had between fifty and sixty passengers on board. The Murray will now take on her passengers and cargo, as it Is said the Kennedy will require to return to Nelson for repairs.

The s.s. Murray swung from the Greymouth wharf on Thursday forenoon with the signal flying at the flagstaff, " bar good." Immediately she got in thp stream, the Bignalman hoisted tbe signal, ''too much sea," and " bar dangerous," Captain Palmer is described by the Grey River Argus as having returned to the wharf, but at once made up his mind to back bis own judgment against the signalman's, and tie result showed that he was right, as he crossed the bar without shipping any water, and signalled 9ft water. It could be seen from the rolling of the Murray that there was a yery heavy gea outside, but as there was a large number of passengers waiting to go North, Captain Palmer did his best to expedite them, and succeeded.

The steamer Wakatip is due at Sydney from London, and is announced to leave for Auckland on the 16th mat.
