The ship Cicero was berthed at the Gladstone Pier yesterday morning, by the Mullough and Gazelle. She will commence putting out this morning. The s.s. Beautiful fitar lay for shelter in Pigeon Bay during the gale, and sailed on Sunday, when the gale moderated. The Dunedin Harbour Company's s.s. Bruce, Captain Jones, arrived in harbour yesterday morning at 8.30 a.m. from South. The purser reports leaving Port Chalmers on the 6th inst at 3.30 p.m, arrived at Timaru 2.30 on the 7th, discharged 100 tons cargo, received 36 bales wool and skins, snd sailed a"-ain at 5.45 for Akaroa, arriving at that port yesterday morning at 2.30 a.m; left again at 4.15, arriving as above.

Ladybird, Captain Andrews, arrived in harbour yesterday morning at 1.30 p.m, after a passage of thirty hours. She left Manakau at 9 a.m. on the 2nd, and arrived at Taranaki at 8 a.m. on the 3rd, sailing again at 10 a.m, and arriving at Nelson at 6 a.m. on the 4th; sailed again at 9.40 a.m, and arrived at Picton at 5.40 p,m. same evening ; sailed 0.45 a.m. on the sth, arrived at Wellington at 6 a.m. same morning; was detained in Wellington till 1 a.m. on the 7th, owing to the heavy southerly gale, and then started and arrived as above. Had fine weather and light southerly winds to Picton, crossing Straits strong southerly wind and heavy beam sea. From Wellington to this port had strong southerly wind and head sea till 4 a.m. yesterday morning, when the weather moderated. We have to thank Mr Dougherty, the purser, for files and report. She discharged about 30 tons of cargo at this port, and sailed for South at 6 p.m. last night. The barque William Gifford, Captain Bishop, anchored at the Heads on Monday night. She was off the shore all Monday. On Saturday she parted from her anchors at Oamaru at 8 a.m. The Agnes Jessie schooner and Meera schooner, which were also lying there, went to sea at same time. The William Gifford had 75 iathoms of chain out at the time. All Saturday the gale increased, and at 5 p.m, when the barque was under her lower main topsail, she ■hipped a heavy sea, that broke aboard as high as the maintop, carrying away staunchions, main rail, and covering board, and shifting her cargo. Captain Bishop was obliged to keep the Bhip away to gave her from foundering. About midnight the cale abated, and a course was shaped for Lyttelton lb repair damages. The vessel has a cargo of coal and coke from Newcastle for Oamaru, and as soon as she is refitted will again proceed to that port. The schooner Mary King, Captain Hilton, arrived in port on Monday night about 5 p.m. She was one of the vessels lying in Timaru on Friday, when the gale commenced. The other vessels lying there were the Elibank Castle, Pearl, Success, Jannette, Endeavour, Eliza McPhee; Kate Brain, Lucy James, and another small ketch, About 4.30 p.m. on Friday afternoon the Success drove foul of another vessel, unshipped her main boom, got clear again, and let go her second anchor. Observing the balls go to the yard arm as a signal for vessels to put to sea, the captain immediately set the mainsail close reefed and fore staysail, slipped her cable, and stood to sea, this being the second vessel to get out, the Jannette being first. The wind at this time was S.S.W, blowing in heavy gusts, with a fearful sea setting in. The ship's head was kept E, to get a good offing, as the wind veered from S.S.W. to S.S.E. On Saturday a per feet hurricane was blowing, with hail and rain. That night carried away her fore stay, split fore staysail and boom foresail, and was obliged to lay too under a close reefed mainsail, making a drift of about north. The ship behaved admirably. On Sunday made out the Peninsula, and the gale having moderated, put all possible sail on the vessel, and steered for Lyttelton, arriving as above. The captain says that this is one of the most severe Kales he ever experienced on the coast. After refitting the vessel will sail again for Timaru, as she has still on board a portion of her original cargo from Greymouth.
