The John Teim, with part of her original cargo and passengers, left at 4 p.m. yesterday, for Hokitika and Groymouth. Tho screw steamer, Wallabi, from Gieyrnouth, in ballast, entered the river, and left again by same tide yesterday forWanganui. The Lioness, from South to tender tbe Nightingale, barque, came into port yesterday, during the day she went out and towed in the schooner, Queen of the Isles, from Dunedin. The Barque, Nightingale, nine days oil her passage from Melbourne, will probably be towed in this morning by the Lioness, which has come here to tender her. Captain M'Pheadon reports having experiencc'd ycij Hue weather on the run down. She brings four passengers and a general cargo, particulars of which will appear in our'next issue. The schooner, Queen'of the Isles, 23 days out from Dunedin, came off the bar yesterday, and was, on the. evening's tide, towed in by the Lioness. The ketch, Young America, returned to port yesterday, from Mokihinui. She was reported to be ashore there, but by her appearance on entering the river, appears to have sustained no damage. She sails well, and is admirably adapted for a coaster. The water on the bar has been very shallow lately, owing to the widening of the channel, 11 feet being l'uu depth at the time of high tide. The Waipara, being unable to enter Charleston on Thursday, came back to port yesterday morning. She will sail the first opportunity.

ARRIVALS. April IG—Mavis, schooner, from Auckland. Wild Wave, schooner, from Christehurch. VESSELS IJf POUT. Schooners—Mavis and Wild Wave. IMPORTS. Per Wild Wave—37s bags oats, 50 bales chaff, 116 bage bran. Kennedy Bros. The Mavis has brought a cargo of timber for Mr Cibbons. The Wild Wave has made a fair passage from Christchurch of 12 days, and bus been 4 days outside waiting for a cliance to get in. The Waipara steamer arrived off the harbour on Thursday, from Westport, shortly after the safe entry of the two schooners named above. The red flag was flying, but Captain Bascand appeared undecided about coming in. After a little time, the harbormaster, anxious for her to eater, as there were a good many passengers -waiting for her, hauled down the red Hag and signalled that the bar was safe, but Captain Baseand replied he would be off the Bay at four next morning, and steamed away to Fox's. The harbor-master, who is naturally anxious to uphold the credit of the port, complains that safe opportunities for entering the Bay are often passed over by this steamer, thereby causing much needless disappointment to consignees and passengers. We should say, a captain of a vessel would be quite safe in accepting the signals and pilotage of the hrrbor master, whose responsibility is very great.
