The steamer Charles Edward arrived from Westport and Nelson on Saturday morning, and yesterday morning sailed for Hokitika, from which port she proceeds direct North. The steamer Wallabi arrived in port yesterday morning. She entered the Buller on Saturday, going over the bar safely at low water by the old channel, which baa now a straight run out. She leaves to-day for Nelson, where she is to be put upon the new gridiron, for the purpose of being cleaned. The steamship Albion, which left Nelson shortly after nine on Saturday evening, arrived off this port at six p.m. yesterday. She will be tendered this morning, the Melbourne mail closing at eight a m. The steamer St. Kilda, on her last trip from Onehunga to Wanganui, got down as far as Wanganui at one o'clock on Saturday morning, but failed to draw the attention of the pilot at that port, and, falling jhort of coals, stood off all night. As it blew a gale from the S.S.E., she could not fetch Wanganui, so she shaped her course for Nelson, and having made signals to tho shore, was towed into that port by the steamer Charles Edward. Levuka has been visited by a very heavy southerly blow, which lasted for a few hours only. It was the same squall in which Mr Manning unfortunately lost his life. The Margaret, cutter, was lying at anchor nearly opposite Burt'a jetty, and, in the attempt to place her in a safe position, drifted on the iteadiog-rdom Point. Here she was dashed by the waves upon the rooks and knocked to pieces. The coasting craft seem to have suffered' very much during the late stormy weather along the coast of the North Island. There is scarcely a vessel arrives ■in the Auckland harbor but what has sustained some injury. The schooner Dantzdc, from Levuka, experienced the full force of the gale ; the schooner lay-to under closed-reefed canvas for twenty* four hours. A portion of the port bulwarks were smashed, also the house aft smashed in, by the hea/y seas which continually broke on board. Other vessels from Newcastle and Sydney sustained similar injuries. Information has reached Auckland of the total wreck of the cutter Blanche at Whananafei, during the recent north-east gale. The cutter broke away from her anchors, and she began to drift towards the shore. About ten mmutss after the vessel broke adrift she struck on the rocks, and the two men seeing that the Blanche would in a very few moments be in pieces, jumped overboard, and attempted to make for the shore, but owing to the very heavy »ea on, they no sooner got near the beach than the underflow of the waves would carry them out again. Three Maoris on the beach, each with a rope tied round him, plunged into the water just as the men were again being carried in on the top of a sea, and caught them ; and those on shore hauled on the ropes, and landed the men safely ashore, exhausted and hardly able to walk. The cutter had in the meantime broken to pieces, and became a total wreck.
