The ship Invercargill will be removed alongside the railway pier to discharge her cargo. The schooner Cambria arrived this morning with a full cargo of 25,000 ft timber from Catlin’s River, which port she left yesterday. Mr Jackson, the plucky but unfortunate contractor for launching the Emulous, has at last given her up in despair. The vessel has been purchased by Mr Boyland, who intends launching her. The topsail schooner Dunedin arrived last night from Havelock, with 47,0J0ft of timber. She left Havelock on the 11th, had strong S. W. winds until the 14th, then moderate S. winds till the 18th ; from thence light N. winds to the Heads, and sailed up as above. The United Brothers has been condemned. She will therefore not be launched, but is to be sold. We (‘North Otago Times’) are very glad that she is not to be allowed to go to sea i .again ; in fact the only use that she can now be put to is to break her up for firewood. The topsail schooner Jane Hannah also arrived this morning from Catlin’s River, with 36,000 ft timber. She left on the 11th. but, on account of the heavy wind and sea, ran back again, and left again yesterday. Reports the schooner Jessie Henderson passing Catlin’s River yesterday, for the Bluff, with loss of her jrbboom.

The brig Craigellachie, from the Bluff, sailed up this morning, and anchored off Carey’s Bay. She brings a full cargo of 160,000 feet of timber. Captain Joss reports leaving the Bluff on Monday morning, had light westerly winds for the first twentyfour hours, then calms and variables until reaching the Heads last night, and sailed up with a fine breeze this morning. The s.s. Albion arrived from Melbourne, via the Bluff, at 5 o’clock this morning. She left Port Phillip Heads at 8 p.ra. on the 15th, experienced strong N.E. winds for the first twenty-four hours, then light variable winds and calms, and passed the Solanders at 11.30 p.m. on the 19th, and arrived at the Bluff at 5 a.m. on the 20th, after another quick passage of four days and eight hours ; discharged cargo and left for Port Chalmers at 4.30 p.m., and arrived as above. We thank her purser, Mr Norris, for report and exchanges.

BAD WEATHER.

The bng Pakeka, which arrived at Auckland from Oamaru yesterday, reports encountering fearful gales. On Saturday, somewhere about sixty miles of the Great Barrier, it commenced to blow and rain, the wind backing into the south east, and rising to a hurricane, with a tremendous sea. About 10 a.m.- that day, while the ship was hove to, a fearful sea broke abord, smashing the fore hatch, nearly knocking the long-boat out of the chocks, carrying away part of the bulwarks, and loosening several stanchions, besides doing other damage. The ship lay on her beam-ends for six hours, being in great danger of the sea sweeping everything away. About 1 p.m', the gale broke, and died away suddenly to a calm, leaving a high confused sea, in which the ship rolled heavily, it being impossible to keep steerage way on her. On Sunday the weather was threatening, and the ship lying very much to the lee side a quantity of cargo was thrown overboard to lighten her. She righted herself, and the gale then moderated. Captain Wood says that if the gale had lasted a few hours longer he could not have kept the vessel afloat. The crew were completely worn out by the great exertions they had to make. The schooner Craig Ewan, from Mauritius to Lyttelton, fifty-nine days out, sugar-laden, for Christchurch, put in at Nelson yesterday to repair damages done during the voyage, and obtain provisions. She experienced tremendous weather, and was struck by heavy seas, which carried away her bulwarks, flooded the cabin, and destroyed everything in it, and spoiled all the provisions, so that for days there was an allowance of only half-a-pound of bread per man per day. She will refit at Nelson before proceeding.
