The llareiifela loft Nov; York on January 15, and met with fine "weather, with the exception of several w-esterly gales, while crossing the Southern Ocean. She resumed her voyage from Sydney on March 2D, and when about 500 miles out a breakdown occurred to the vessel's machinery, which necessitated the steamer being stopped for 15 hours while temporary repairs were effected.

Tho Wahine is generally similar to the Maori, her principal dimensions being:—Length. 374 ft., breadth - 52ft., and depth 27ft. 6in. Sho has been built to Lloyd's ICQ A 1 class, and has accommodation for <00 first-class and 180 second-class passengers.

The barque Benicia, which arrived off the Heads at Otugo on Thnreday afternoon and was towed up to tho wharf ou Friday, encountered a bad buffeting at one part of her trip. Great seas broke over her, oausing'her to labour heavily, and at ono stage tilling her well deck with water. At the height of the gale part of her cargo was shorn from tho decks and scattered over the sea. This is an eloquent testimony to the roughness and force of tho elemente, for on these vessels grea\> precautions are taken to secure tho deck timber from the caprices of weather and water. Tho pump.s were Tcsorted to at this time to get rid of a largo quantity of water that had found its way below. RECORD TIMBER CARGO.
