A sight seldom witnessed by landsmen and only occasionally by seamen, greeted the eyes of a favoured few at Auckland on the lGtli December. The New Zealand Herald says that about 5 p.m., a heavy bank of clouds, moving slowly up from the northward and eastward, passed over Rangitoto, and when above the channel between that island and the North Head, commenced taking in a supply of moisture from a waterspout of considerable magnitude. At length, gorged to repletion, the body of vapours cast off the suction hose, and finally discharged its aqueous contents ovei our city, in one of the heaviest shower; that we have known for a long time past.
