The s.s. Storm Bird from Southern Ports arrived this morning. The barque Mary Mitford from Boston sailed up to an anchorage at noon to-day, and was moored in a convenient discharging berth.

A private telegram states that when the Maori put into Akaroa she was half full of water; all her deck cargo was thrown overboard, and that her engine-room had been swamped. It is a long time since Lyttelton was visited by such a gale as commenced on Thursday morning. The passengers by the s,s. Airedale had the greatest difficulty in foing off to that vessel, and several of them ad to be taken in the s.s. Halcyon. As the evening came on the wind increased, and towards midnight it blew a hurricane. Thanks to the excellent mooring buoys, the large vessels at the wharves suffered no injury. We are sorry to say, however, that the .schooner Emmie Lass has met with serious damage, and had a narrow escape from the same fate as the Golden Isle, which was wrecked some months since on the same spot. The schooner had been loading, and had hatlled off the wharf. Owing to the threatening weather, she moored with both chains to the warping buoys ; at two o’clock this morning the buoy dragged home, and the vessel came ashore, and commenced bumping against the breastwork buoy. All alarm was given, and the crews of the barques John Knox and Joliba turned out at ouce to render her assistance. By their help the schooner was got alongside the barque joliba. Her quarter rails and starboard|bulwarks are carried away, and some of her planks are started. The heavy S. W. gale continued yesterday until evening, and all communication with the shipping was suspended.— Lyttelton Times, Febuary 4.
