Passed the company’s s.s. Taranaki last evening. We thank her purser, Mr M’Cormiok, for report and Northern exchanges. The Nelson papers say that the striking of the Hawea on a sunken rock off Jackson’s Head was a very trifling affair. The captain, engineer, chief officer, ana carpenter made a declaration at the Custom-house to the effect that the vessel had sustained no injury. It is conjectured, as this hitherto unknown rock (which lies right in the fairway about a third of the way across the Sound from Johnson Head) is situated very near the spot where the Eangitoto was wrecked, that the same rock may have been the cause of that catastrophe. The schooner Jane Scolly, from the Bluff, arrived this morning, and passed tbo port to Dunedin. The barque Frederick Bossell, with a cargo of coals and coke, arrived off the Heads this morning and was towed up (o an anchorage off Corey Bay by the Geelong.

For two days sbe experienced northerly winds, which then shifted to the S.W., when it blew furiously, with tremendous seas, one Of which struck the vessel carrying away part other bulwarks on both sidos. Afterwards bad moderate winds, passing the Solanders on the 31st, Dog Island yesterday morning, and the Nuggets at noon, and arriving as above.
