The s,s. St. Kihla arrived from Oamaru and Dunedin last evening, and sailed for Wellington and Wanganni at 12.45 p.m. to-day. . The Southern Cross arrived from A apier at 6 this morning, and sails for Napier and Auckland on M TheTs. Taiaroa arrived from Port Chalmers at 8.30 a.m., and sails for Northern ports this aftern°Th'e s.s. Wakatipu arrived in harbor at 9.30 a.m. from Sydney via Wellington, and sails for Port Chalmers this afternoon. The ship Pleiades cleared for London this from the North was signalled this morning, but was still outside of the Heads when our express left. She is supposed to be the Southern Cross, from Newcastle. . , The brig Naiad, from Newcastle, arrived in harbour this morning. , Peacock’s Wharf was closed yesterday morning for repairs, and, we understand, it will be a week before they will be completed. The Pleiades goes into the stream to-day. She is advertised to sail on Saturday. The Alert, from Lyttelton, arrived on Waitara bar yesterday, The Maud Graham was to leave Manukan for‘here same date. The three-masted schooner Sea Belle is expected from Newcastle with a cargo of coal for Mr C. W. Tnrnsr The Melbourne “ Age” reports that a most nt'rilous passage lias been made by the barque Mariano, which has just returned to Melbourne fowl L.:cepede Islands. The vessel left on 20th Tanuarv and commenced to leak so badly the day after that the utmost alarm appears to have been felt for her safety. Her timbers must have been absolutely rotten, and fro n the difficulties that were experienced in navigating the ship, it is simply marvellous that she ever came into port at all. Water was constantly pouring into the hold almost as rapidly ns it could be got out by baihug and pumping, although aU available han^ s ln eluding passengers—-were got to work. At flying Foam Passage the ship was beached and hastily repaired, but since leaving there she appears to have been running the gauntlet of no slight dangers. Now that she is lying in port the water can be seen running, into her hold fore and aft in Monarch, hound here, was towed clear of Port Chalmers Heads on Monday last by the tug Koputai. ~,,. People outside of Timaru (says the Herald ) are very ready to sneer at the facilities afforded for loading and discharging vessels at tins port, and it may therefore be interesting if we state exactly •what work our lauding services are capable of performing The Timaru service possess seven cargo boats, which, in ordinary weather, can load and discharge 200 tons per day easily; the George street service owns four boats, which are equal to disposing of 150 tons; while the Government Service with live boats, can also manage 150 tons. Here then is a total of 500 tons; but the amount of business done often far exceeds this.. As much ns 500 tons of grain have been shipped m one day, independent of the goods landed Allowing foi the wants of coasters being attended to, a fortnight at the very outside ought to be sufficient to load a vessel of the size of the Mendoza, now coming here to take in cargo, and with ordinary weather, we feel convinced she would not be longer in our roadetfhe Iris is to be shifted to the Gladstone Pier from the Steamers’ Wharf, to make room for the Wakatipu and Taiaroa. THE WESTERN MONARCH.

This handsome ship arrived last night from Dunedin. It is expected she will be despatched for London within a week.

INTERCOLONIAL SHIPPING. The Naiad sailed from Newcastle for this port on April 25th, the Southern Cross next day, and tue M Alate n ntmber ofthe " Age ” says The followin« account of the barque Yorkshire, en route from Loudon for this port, being struck by lightning, aud the miraculous escape of some of the crew, together with the peculiar appearance of the electric fluid after striking the vessel, has been supplied to ns bv her commander, Captain O Callaghanloin March, lat. 30.20 south, long. 19.30 west; wind north-westerly, light variable; bar., 30.14; ther. 74; ■weather sultry. Five p.m.-Heavy thunderstorm broke over ship. After the second flash of lightning, seen from ont of a deluge of rain, the storm appeared to work from S.W, round by west to north, and then N.E. to east, aud finally disappeared!!! the S.E. When passing from N.E. to east the lightning nd thunder were simultaneous; in fact lightning ior-jwen on all sides of the ship in all shapes and appeared,'Vat half-past five p.m. a most lund flash At the same r ..roost appalling crash of thunder, patently) were drops of. liquid lire (apaud before the foresail,nir..(lpwu by the foremast engaged taking in a studding soil, men who were any sort was do-’o to life or property. Next day”! went aloft on to the fore royal yard to observe if the lightning had left any marks on the mast or yard, aud found, to my astonishment, that the edge of tbo iron band to which the chain halyards are peer-red was fused, and that the ends of the jackstay (iron), along which the lightning had travelled, were also fused, as if a piece had been cut out with a gouge. The end of the yard was all blackened on top, and on the fore side and 'underneath was a yellow, salphnr-dried substance, I also managed to secure some of the iron fused which clung to tbo yard. The whole storm did not last above forty minutes, after winch a light breeze sprang up, with fine pleasant weatfcer. The brig Clematis cleared at Hobart Town for Lyttelton on May 2nd with tne following caigo:— 396 cases jams and fruit, 12 pkgs baskets, 5 tons bark, 26,0t'0ft. timber, 70,000 palings.
