She brings a full cargo for West Coast ports, and sailed for Hokitika and Greymouth yesterday evening. The p.s. St Kilda left Wanganui on Saturday, and arrived in the Buller roadstead at 10 a.m. yesterday, and crossed the bar the same evening. She brings a cargo of cattle. The s.s. Storm Bird was announced to sail from Wanganui for Westport yesterday, and will probably arrive to-night. The s.s. Kennedy was expected to leave Nelson yesterday evening for Westport. The s.s. Murray succeeded in entering Greymouth yesterday morning. She is announced to leave Westport for Nelson this evening. The schooner Mary Jane, which was wrecked sometime hack, has been registered anew, and is now known as the W. S. Munday. She has a full cargo for Charleston, and ■will sail at an early date for that port. American papers state that the barque Maria J. Smith, abandoned on the Pacific Coast, has been found by the Indians, safe and sound, near Bella Bella, almost 500 miles from the point where she was deserted. It seems strange that the little ship should make this long voyage alone, " threading her way," as the Victoria Colonist Bays, " without aid of helmsman or compass, through intricate channels aud dangerous tiderips, to her harbor of refuge." What makes it stranger still is, that this is the second tiroo she has been abandoned, and the second time she has saved herself. Bailors prophesy that she will never go to Davy Jones's locker.
