Arrival of the brig Maggie, As briefly intimated in our last issue, the brig Maggie, Capt. It. Arnold, from Newcastle with a cargo of coal, arrived in the roadstead at 9 p.m. on Wednesday last. The Maggie left Napier on Tuesday, April 13, passed through Cook's Straits on the 16th,had S.E. winds till off Cape Farewell, which was passed on the 27th, and arrived at Newcastle on the 29th. Loaded a cargo of 328 tons coal, and left again for this port on the sth May, with light variable winds from the westward, which veered to N.E., with heavy sea from the eastward on the 6th. From the 7th to 10th experienced strong easterly gale, with heavy sen, and.' lay hove-to under close-reefed maintopsail, during which she behaved admirably.

Had to lay-to under close-reeled maintopsail, the vessel laboring heavily and shipping great quantities of water. Made sail agaiu on Tuesday, rounded the Kidnappers at 3.30 p.m. on Wednesday, and arrived as above. Captain Arnold says that tnis has been one of the most trying passages lie has ever made. He reports having sighted several vessels during the voyage, but could not ascertain their names. Since her arrival, the Maggie has been in the roadstead lightening, and will probably he brought into the Iron Pot to day. As will be seen by advertisement, this favorite regular trader will leave for Syduey direct on Saturday next, sth Jun^. Arrival of the s.s. "Wellington. The s.s. Wellington, Capt. Holmes, left Auckland at 4-.15 p.m. on the 27th inst., and arrived in port at 4.15 a.m. on the 29th inst., having made a good run of 30 hours. Her upward trip was performed in the same time.

Sinclair for a couple of Canterbury papers, extracts from which will be found elsewhere. Heavy Gale at Timaru.--Two barques wrecked.—One life lost. The Timaru correspondent of the Canterbury Press telegraphed as follows : Timaru, May 2l<, 5.30 p.m. The barques Collingwood and Susan Jane came on shore to-day. The Twilight is still riding safely in the roadstead. The cause of the wreck of the two barques is thought to be through their having attempted to put to sea last night with scarcely any wind, and a heavy sea setting in shore. They gradually drifted on shore and the Collingwood was beached about four o'clock this morning. The Susan Jane put down her anchors when in the breakers, and drifted until two o'clock to-day, when she beached. The life-boat put off to answer a signal of distress from the Twilight. She made several unsuccessful attempts to leave the beach and at length got away with six men in her. She got near a reef with heavy breakers on, and was upset, all the men being thrown into the water. One man was drowned. Heavy Gale at Lyttelton. The Evening Mail, 24th May, says:—A very heavy gale and swell swept up the harbor yesterday. The Cordelia, ketch, tlie property of Messrs Cameron Brolhers, was unfortunately stove in on the beach at Dampier's Bay, and the Flying Mist, a small yacht, belonging to Mr Watson, the diver, was also wrecked on the same beach.

Sturt, from Auckland via the East Coast, arrived in port at an early hour this morning; The schooner Hero, from Wairoa with a cargo of wool, arrived in port last evening. The s.s.
