The Union Steamship Company's s.s, Hawea, Captain Kennedy, arrived yesterday morning at half past four o'clock, after a very severe passage, from Wellington. The steamer lelt WeiXon on Friday aftarncon at fonr o'clock, and r ordinary circumstances should have rsached tero at seven or eight o'clock on Saturday morning. The southerly gale, aa Bhe experienced it, innst therefore have been, as Captain Kennedy says, " aa hard a blow as he has had for over a twelvemonth." 4.t 1 a.m on Saturday the Hawea waa off Kaikoura, the wind up to that timo having been moderate. Heavy squalls were experienced then from the 3.W. to the S.E. and S., agaiaßt which the steamer made little progress. Captain Kennody, anxious if possible to get in on Saturday night, kept bar to it under full ateam until the weather became so thick as to render such a course imprudent, and when the circumstance of slowing down is taken into account in_ the face of such a storm as prevailed at the time, it is creditable to the vessel that she was aleto make tho Port at the hour she did yesterday. After landing her passengers and taking on board a large number, the names of whom are given above, she left at 1.30 p.m. for Wellington, Picton, and Nelson. THE OCEAN BANGER. Tho latest addition to Mr C. W. Turner's 9iet of vessels, the Ocean Ranger, arrived from P.irt Louis, Mauritius, yesterday afternoon, with a full cargo, 275 tons, of sugar. The Ocean Ranger has just been away from here five months and four days, during which time she has carried to Cape Town a cargo of New Zealand produce, and from thence a miscellaneous cargo to th 9 Mauritius, coming on here with her present load of the staple product of that island. She left Port Louis on May 4th, and passed Amsterdam Island on the ninth day out. On the twenty-fourth day out she waa within five hundred miles of Tasmania, the weather having up to then been remarkably favorable. Easterly light winds were then fallen in with, and continued for ten days, when a fresh breeze from tho B.S.E. was taken, which subsequently increased to a gale, and was carried to passing the Snares on Friday last at 2 p.m. and up to arrival. With it some unusually good sailing was accomplished coming up the coast, the run from the Hnaros to sighting Akaroa light occupying bnt forty hours. The steam tug Lyttelton went out • yesterday when the vessel was signalled, and towed her in direct from sea to a berth at No. 3 jetty, where she will commence this morning to land her cargo.
