MAECH. 16—Napier, s.s., 44 tons, Bendall, from Wairoa, hi ballast. —Watt Brothers, agents. The s s. Napier, Captain Bendall, returned to port this morning, from Wairoa. She left Napier on Wednesday evening, Bth inst., and arrived off the mouth of the Wairoa river at 2 o'clock on Thursday morning. At 7 a.m. an attempt was made to enter the river, but just as the steamer was on the bar she was caught by a very heavy roller and carried, with her stem clean out of water, on to the south spit, where she was hove up almost dry. The passengers and cargo were safely landed, and preparations made for heaving the vessel off on the next tide; but the tide haying taken off, and the swell subsided, the sea scarcely came round her again until Tuesday night last, wheu she was successfully hove off, and steamed into the river, without, we are glad to learn, having sustained any damage beyond losing a few sheets of copper. She left Wairpa on the return trip at 1.30 this morning, and arrived in the roadstead at 6 a.m., entering the Iron Pot about 9. Experienced thick north-easterly weather down the coast. The Napier is advertised to steam for Poverty Bay and Auckland at 4 p.m. on Saturday next.

The weather still continues inclement. The wind remains about N.E., with a very heavy sea in the Bay. The rainfall since our last has been considerable.
