Maori arrived from her Northern trip at five o’clock this morning and steamed along the ship Wild Deer to discharge. The s.s. Taranaki arrived from the North today. She left the Manukau on the 12th, at 3.30 p.m., and called at Taranaki, Nelson, Picton, Wellington, and Lyttelton, The topsail schooner Pearl put in this morning from Shag Point, having been compelled to elip her anchor and forty-five fathoms of chain, on account of the heavy N.E. gale, which set . in yesterday afternoon. The cutter Jane also arrived this morning from Shag Point, with the srtrf boat in tow. On account of the heavy sea at Shag Point, the crew of the surf boat preferred having a passage to Port Chalmers to venturing to beach the boat. Mr Wm. Cumstie Williams'om, of Glasgow, intimates “ that in consequence of the present name being in Gaelic language, and unpronounceable to all persons not conversant with the Gaelic language, and for other reasons,” it is his intention to change the name of the ship Maighdeann na Herradh to the more generally understood one of Highland Lassie. The ship Himalaya, for Newcastle, was unmoored yesterday, and the Geelong took her in tow, intending to leave her clear of the Heads. There was a stiff nor’-easter blowing at the time, and when the Himalaya was below the shipping, the tow-line parted. The ship’s anchor was at once let go, and forty-five fathoms of chain, but the chain parted, and the ship . drifted on to the bank at the entrance of the cross channel, where she had to stick, the tug being unable to move her. This morning the Geelong attempted to get her off, but without success. The American barque Francis, from Boston, via Melbourne, arrived off the Heads yesterday afternoon, and there being a fine breeze from the N.E., she sailed in, and brought up in the lower anchorage. She left Boston on the 26th January, and arrived at Melbourne on the Hth May, after a passage of 105 days. After discharging two-thirds of her cargo there, she went into dock, and loaded for this port. She sailed from Melbourne on the 2nd June; cleared the Straits on the 3rd ; had N.E. and southerly winds until sighting the Solahders on the 10th ; was then detained for a week by S.E. winds, which prevented her rounding Stewart’s Island j on the 15th she managed to pass between the Island and the Traps; had fine weather along the coast, and was off Otago Heads en Tuesday night, but drifted to the northward; made the Heads again yesterday afternoon, and arrived as above.
