THE TARAEUA IN A GALE. By Telegraph. (From our own Correspondent.) Wellington, December 21. Ihe lararua, when three days out from Melbourne, met with a tremendous gale, which Compelled Captain Clarke to heave-to for fifty hours. During this time eighteen valuable draught horses were killed, and the life-boat washed out of the davits, and only saved by becoming entangled with ropes attached to the mainmast. The passengers were imprisoned in their cabins during the whole time, food bein* brought to them by the stewards. The position was considered so perilous that the lady passengers rushed on deck in the night in a frantic state. Captain Clark classed the gale as the worst he had ever met with in the whole of his experience. ENGLISH SHIPPING.

The New°Zeai?i. ipi)ing . Company’s new ship Damiate, 1,123 tons register, has arrived in London, and sails for Canterbury on the 22nd inst. She is full of saloon passengers and a full complement of emigrants. During the last three weeks shipping has not been so brisk as anticipated for New Zealand generally, although the company has done a fair share, of the work. We have found dead weight exceedingly scarce to every port, and in many instances ballast had to be put on board, not at all a profitable item.” Per Messrs P.
