An equinoctial nor'-wester raged over Wellington yesterday, and whipped up tho "white horses" in tho harbour. Great heavy clouds wero (lung across tho blue vault overhead, and a few squalls swept over tho ctiy, harbingers of worse things to follow, to judge from the pessimistic forebodings of tho Government Meteorologist as expressed in his official anticipations regarding tho weather of tho immediate future.
