The schooner Onward, in ballast, from Opotiki to Tairua and Auckland, put in under the Mount from the gale on Monday afternoon. She reports very bad weather outside. Fears are entertained in nautical circles for the safety of the Janet Grey, now long over' due from the South with a cargo of broadstuffs for this port. The Eoweua met with an accident to her engines on her last trip from Auckland. When off Port Charles, on Saturday the 6th instant, the engines going under easy steam, the h'gb-pressure piston broke in two places. Mr Eyan, tbo Engineer, at once stopped the engines, and dia-connected the broken engine, and proceeded with the low pressure single cylinder, which worked capitally, and enabled the vessel to about six miles on hour. This is tho first instance of disconnecting compound engines that has come under our notice, and the promptitude with which Mr By an acted under the circumstances, reflects the highest credit on that gentleman. The cause of tho accident is unaccountable, but in consequence of it, tho Rowona loft for Auck. land on Monday morning instead of Tuesday evening as usual in order to get. the necessary repairs made in time for her to return by tho end of tbo week.

: THE EIIU.NETT®, From further particulars to hand we learn that the cutter Brunette, tho loss of which vessel at Tairua we noticed in our last issue, had loaded with timber at Tairua, and sailed on Sunday morning, tho 31efc ult,, for Tanranga. When just outside the Heads, tho wind suddenly changed and she was carried on tho rock?. The crow got safely ashore and Captain Cinnamon, who was in charge of the Brunette, went on to Auckland in the Eowoua. The Brunette is insured in the South British office for £250. From information given by Captain Cinnamon it is feared that the vessel in too much injured to bo worth getting olf, THE BLONDE. Mr T. I). Wn'gley loft on Sunday morning in tho cutter Glance (the owners of that vessel having placed her at Mr Mrigley’s disposal for a short trip on the most generous terms) for tho scene of tho late disaster to the cutter Blonde. Mr Wrigloy intends making, a thorough search through tho various passages of the Alderman Islands, near which the Blonde was last seen, with a view to finally settle the question whether sho may not be drifting somewhere amongst them. We need hardly say that we cordially wish Mr Wrigloy success in his search.
