141 18 13 34,677 The schooner Onehunga, from Belarus Sound, arrived this forenoon with a cargo of timber consigned to Messrs Guthrie and Asher. The Onehunga left the Sound on Thursday last, and experienced fine weather and light variable winds during the passage. The s.s. Pretty Jane sailed last evening for the Molyneux, The fore-and-aft schooner Result arrived in ballast from Waikouaiti this morning. Her owner, Mr C. Bradshaw, reports that the whale captured by his party at Waikouaiti last week has yielded seven tuns of oil, which is more than was estimated. The American brigantine Belle, the cutter Hope, and the ketch Flying Squirrel, all outward bound, were to-day removed from Dunedin to the Port. The ketch Edinburgh, which sailed last week for Oamaru, has put back, and is now anchored at the Heads. The ship Asterope, which arrived at Lyttelton from London on Friday last, experienced a most severe gale on the voyage, which is thus reported :—On the 17th August, in lat. 33 deg. 41 min. S., and long. 3 deg. 23 min. W., a very heavy W.S.W. gale sprung up. At 10 a.m., hove the ship to under lower maintop«ail and foretopmast staysail. At 1 p.m., a very heavy sea struck the vessel on the starboard bow, breaking three knees in the forecastle beams, and starting the topgallant forecastle deck all over, and doing a great of damage on deck by carrying away everything moveable. The strong westerly winds continued until Aug. the 27th, increasing on that day to a very heavy gale, with a tremendous sea running clean over the ship fore and aft. On Sept. 2, at 1 a.m., it increased in fury, when in lat, 43 deg. 54 min. S., and long, 64 deg. 20 min. E., a sea which struck the vessel, broke in the front of the poop, filling the cabin with water, breaking all the fittings, and damaging nearly all the stores, a great quantity of water going down the lazaretto. Both upper and lower foretopsails were split to pieces. The front of the poop was boarded up as well as circumstances would permit. At 7 a.m. another sea struck the vessel, fore aud aft, and again carrying away the front of the poop. Hove the ship to under the lower mointopsail, until 2 p.m., when the gale and sea moderated.
