After a quiet week's shipping work, there W beWl a"""- ""-"»'» s ""—uca since Saturday, both on account of the number of arrivals, and of the influence of the weather upon intended departures. On Saturday the Waipara and Wallabi came from the south, and the Charles Edward and Murray from the north. At eight ia the evening the Waipara proceeded to sea, and the Murray did the same, but a south-easterly storm burst, and the Murray very discreetly returned to port. The Waipara either could not return or trusted to Bpend the night satisfactorily at sea, but it is gratifying to know that sho safely reached the anchorage at Hokitika. Eain followed the wind, and a flood arose. For safety the Wallabi and Kennedy betook themselves to the Lagoon, the Charles Edward and Murray remaining at their moorings. On Monday, both the flood and the surf were sufficiently subdued to admit of, at least, the Kennedy sailing, and she did so at eleven in the forenoon, with only a few passengers for Nelson. By the evening tide the other vessels sailed for their various destinations.

The Young Australian, from New Caledonia to Sydney, has been wrecked on the coast of New South Wales.

Efforts are now being mado in the Clutha district to establish a public company for the purchase of the steamers Tuapeka and Tairoa. Shares are being taken up pretty freely by the business residents at Balclutha, Port Molyneux, and intervening districts. Mr Darling, the Chief Engineer of the Otago Harbor Steam Company, is now preparing a model and specifications of a new steamer, to bo built for that company. Unlike the Wallace, she will be specially adapted for the river trade, and for the traffic round the Peninsula, via Macandrew's Bay and Portobello.
