The Union Steamship Company’s a s. Ewgarooma, after undergoing her periodical renewing in the Port Chalmers dock, arrived here at 6 p.m. yesterday.

The Snares were sighted last Saturday. after a continuance of wretchedly dirty weather, aud a succession of galea and calms Tunning the easting down. A gale from the W.S W. brought the barqne past the Snares, and at noon on Sunday she was off Otavo Heads, where tho wind died completely away. A 'W.N.W. burster followed tho calm, and the voyage up tho coast was made under difficulties, the wind either coming down in hard squalls ahead or vanishing altogether. The vessel was in eight of the Heads on Tuesday, hut was blown off, and had nothing less than a hurricane throughout tho night. Captain Porter was here bo mo years ago in the ship William Davy.
