The brig Syren was towed down this morning by the s.s. Jane, and is now loading at the railway pier sleepers for Napier. The s.B Tararua sailed yesterday afternoon for Melbourne via the Bluff, with the New Zealand portion of mails via Suez. When close to the Heads she met the s.s. Taranaki coming in and transhipped from her some bags of mails from the North.

The s.B. Easby loft the railway pier yesterday afternoon for Newcastle via Sydney. It is the intention of her owners during her stay in Sydney, to make great improvements in her passenger accommodation, so as to enable her to carry second class passengers. The ketch Glimpse, which went ashore at Moeraki on the 22nd ult. is being unloaded here. It is intended to bring her to Dunedin, f her bottom is not too much damaged, which can be ascertained when all her cargo is out, as •he is lying on a good sandy beach. The p.s. Samson went down yesterday to tow np_ the ship Christian M'Ausland, which arrived at the Heads early yesterday morning, but on account of the strong S. W. wind, did not attempt to take her in tow. Should the wind moderate she will go down and tow her up this evening. The Taranaki arrived from the North at 5.30 g.m. yesterday, having experienced a strong .W. breeze on the run down from Lyttelton. She left the Manukau at 9 a.m. on the 25th. called at Taranaki at 6 a.m. next day, and as there was a good deal of sea on, did not succeed in completing the whole of her business with the place. She remained there an hour and a half, and then proceeded to Nelson, had strong N. W. winds and dirty weather by the way, and arrived there at 9.30 p.ra. the same day. Left again at 11 a.m. on the 27th, arrived at Picton at 7.30 m ; left at 3 a.m. on the 28th, and reached Welling on at 9 a.m. Made smart work of landing and shipping cargo, and stenmed on for Lyttelton at 6 p.m. Thick, dirty, easterly weather attended her from Nelson, and continued to Lyttelton, which was gained at 4 p.m, on the 29th, and left two hours later. Off the Peninsula she met the S.W. breeze, fresh and squally, and carried it to the Port, where she arrived as above. On the up trip, on reaching Taranaki, had very had weather, which was thus reported : Arrived at Taranaki at 11.30 a.m. Landed the passengers and a few packages of cargo. The wind and sea increasing from N.W., were obliged to put to sea. Off Taranaki saw two water-spouts, and at 5 p.m. saw another close to the ship. The wind increased until it was blowing a strong gale from N.W. At 4 a.m. on the 23rd put the ship head to sea under easy steam. At 6 a.m'. a sea struck her, washing away the butcher s shop, and carried hen-coops and all moveable articles along the deck. About 10 a.m. another se • washed in the forward end of the second engineer’s cabin, * lifted the large quarter boat out of the chocks, and carried away part of the iron rail on the bridge. At 2 p.m. stood in shore to ascertain the ship’s jwsition before dark, it having been very thick wlday. At 4 p.m. made out Gannet Island. Put the ship head to sea again under easy steam till 2 a.m. on the 24th, and then stood in for Manukau Heads, and crossed the bar at 7.30& m.
