VESPELP IN PORT. Lioness and Garibaldi.

The Waipara, we are glad to announce, arrived in the roadstead last night from Okarito, where she has been detained through breaking a shaft. She came to the wharf at 11 p.m. On crossing the bar she found 10ft of water.

The Zephyr showed up in the roadstead yesterday, from Melbourne . :

The Charles Edward is due here to-day.

The Albion, from Melbourne djrect, is due here tormorrow.

"The s.s. Kennedy sailed north from Greymouth on Friday, The Grey River Aigus of Saturday says: — " Yesterday forenoon a schooner made its appearapce in the roadstead, and hoisted the usual signal for the tug. Owing, >ye understand, to the fact of the Dispatch not haviug steam up, she did not proceed outside as expeditiuusly as the captain of the schooner seemed to expect, and without any unnecessary delay he steered direct for the bar, crossing it with the greatest ; ease, and coming safely and gracefully up to a berth alongside the wharf. The : vessej. provpd to be the schooner Martha Reid, from Nelson, in ballast, and Captain Linstrom may claim the honor of being the first for many years to cross the bar without^ the assistance of towage. While making the somewhat hazardous attempt she was splendidly handled. The Martha Eeid will load coal from the Greymouth Coal Company's mine for Nelson.

The Maori is due here to-day from Nelson. After discharging her Hokitika freight she will be despatched for Dunedin, via Greymouth, Jackson's Bay, and other southern ports. The brigantine Camille arrived at Fort Chalmers from New York, on May 15, after a passage of 119 days. She met with a series of terrific gales from the S.W. to N.W., right across the Southern oceau. She brings 430 tons of esrgo, two-thirds for Dunedin, and the rest for the Bluff.

The splendid iron clipper ship Waikato, 1100 tons, Worster, commander, is appointed to leave Lyttelton for London direct on the Bth June. Intending passengers can learn particulars from the agent, Mr Bonar, Wharf street.

The New Zealand Shipping Company has received advice of the arrival at London of their ships Opawa from Lyttelton, and Waimea from Bluff Harbour, all well.
