On reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that the Prosperity is now on the berth at Melboune for this port. Shippers Can rely upon the vessel being despatched punctually to advertised date. Further particulars can be had from the agents, Wharfstreet. The following telegram was received from Wellington yesterday, by Captain Turnbull :—": — " Bad weather approaching, any direction between north, west, and south; farther fall of glass and much sea." The Murray now at WestpoTt, would have showed up here yesterday morning but lor the boisterous weather prevailing along the Coast, precluding any possibility of her entering in. We need not look for her till to-morrow, or such time aB the present weather abates. For the same reason the Zephyr will not be able to leave her anchorage to-day as anticipated, for Greymouth, there to load coal for Melbourne.
