The N.Z.S.S. Company’s Taranaki sailed this afternoon for Northern ports. The ship Waikato will be removed from the Graving Dock alongide the new jetty, where she will commence to take in cargo for London.

The brig William Cundall will take advantage of the first S.W. wind to proceed to Napier, where she is chartered to take in a cargo of wooL The Wanganui returned from her Bluff trip at 8.30 a.m. yesterday, and, after landing passengers at Port Chalmers, proceeded to town. She left the Bluff at 5.30 p.m. on Saturday. The Beautiful Star arrived at 9 a.m. yesterday, having left Lyttelton at 5.30 p.m. on Friday, and Timaru at 8 p.m. on Saturday. Experienced variable winds and fine weather till daylight yesterday, when a strong N.E. breeze sprang up. _ The topsail schooner Bencleuch, from Hokiincreased to a heavy gale Cape Farewell on the 15th, was detained in the Straits for three days with light winds ; passed Cape Campbell on Saturday ; had light S.E. winds until yesterday, when she got a fine breeze from the N.E., which continued until arrival at the Heads, and came to anchor in Carey Bay. The ketch Good Templar arrived at Riverton on the 17th iust. from the Grey River, with a cargo of coal, partjof which she had to throw overboard on the passage, having encountered very severe weather, during which she had her galley washed overboard and her mainsal torn to ribbons. When crossing the bar, coming out of the Grey, she shipped a heavy sea, which washed the mate and cook overboard. The former succeeded in laying hold of a line that happened to be hanging over the vessel’s side, and a rope being thrown to the cook, both were luckily reshipped with no further results than a good ducking. The R.M.S.S. Albion arrived alongside the railway pier at 6 a.m. yesterday. The run across from Melbourne to the Bluff was made in four days twelve hours, six hours of which were occupied in endeavoring to communicate with the sealers on the Solanders. Of the latter Captain Underwood reports:—“ Observed a light on Solander Island at 10.30 p.m. of the 20th, stood in within one mile of the shore, and sent a boat away, which, however was unable to land. Whilst waiting for her' observed a number of lights exhibited on the island at various elevations. The boat returned at 2,30 a.m. on the 21st, and was sent away again at 3.30 to make another attempt to communicate, but owing to the heavy sea on, returned unsuccessful at 4.40. As it was raining hard, no one could be made out on shore, but a fire was left burning on the beach. The people may have gone round the island to some landing place unknown to us.” We thank Purser Morris for exchanges and report. During the heavy N.E. gale which blew yesterday afternoon, a full-rigged ship was seen entering the Heads, and it afterwards sailed up to an anchorage in the lower part of Deborah Bay, She proved to be the Rosalia, from Jruget Sound, which put into Napier in a leaky condition, By her appearance she seems to have been severely strained. On deck, between the mam and mizen masts, there are the framework and wings of a windmill that was rigged to work the pumps shortly after leaving Sound, and close to the mainmast was a donkey engine, attached to the pumps, in full work with both pumps going at the time we went on board. The Rosalia left Puget Sound with a full cargo of timber on the 31st July, she then making about one inch per hour ; but before getting clear of the Sound the crew refused to go with her, and she was run back and surveyed.. Left again on the 4th of August all going well until abreast of Honolulu’ when the leak again began to increase! and gradually gained until within 30deg, south of the Equator, when she encountered heavy westerly weather, during which the windmill broke down, . Bad weather continued until within 350 miles of the New Zealand coast, when the crew came aft to Captain Yeale and stated that they were worn out by pumping, and insisted that the ship might be kept away for the nearest land. She was accordingly kept before it for thirty-six hours; but the wind coming from the eastward, Captain Yeale persuaded them to keep the vessel her proper course for Port Chalmers ; the wind afterwards shifting to the southward, she was run into Napier on the 22nd October, where she took in the steam engine to work the pumps, and after a stay of twenty days left there on the 15th instant for Port Chalmers and arrived as above During her stay at Napier, Captain Crabbe joined the ship as mate and coasting pilot.
