She left Wellington at 530 p.m. on Friday, 10th inst., with a light northerly wind, which shortly afterwards came in from the S.E., with thick weather and heavy rain, liounded Cape Palliser at 930 pm.

Arrived off Wairoa river at 8a m, on the 4 h—too late for the tide. Throughout that day, not sufficient wind prevailed to enable the vessel to cro-s the bar. At 2 a.m. on the sth, a souther sprang up, with heavy yain ; later, wind and sea increasing, bore up for Lojig Point, anchoring there at 2 p.m. the same day.

Crossed the bar at 7-30 a.m. on the JOth, and had light and variable winds until midnight, when, off Waikari, encountered a souther. Arrived in the roadstead at 10 p.m. on the Hth (Saturday,) and entered the iron Pot yesterday morning.—lt will be seen by advertisement that the M. A. Hudson leaves again early this week for Wairoa, and as she ja the only vessel that will be on the berth for that place for some days, we doubt not a full freight awaits^her. The N-gSfi. Co.'s s.s. Bangatira, Captain Keuner,}eft Port Ahuriri at 2.30 p.m. on the sth inst., with 500 sheep for Auckland.

The brigantine Amherst left Lyttelton for Auckland on the 6th inst., with a full cargo of grain. The steamer Maori came int? collision off Oaraaru with the schooner Coronet, for Auckland, on the night of the 4th inat., striking her on the port bow, and starting two planks below the covering-board. The Maori towed the Coronet into Port Chalmers, where she will discharge for repairs. The ship Caduceus left Aucklaud for London on the Bth inst., with a cargo of kauri gum, leather, wool, &c, valued at £27,440. The Taranaki Herald learns that there was nearly a collision between the steamers Wellington and Taranaki on the night of the 27th April, which, had it occurred, would have left few alive to tell the tale. The Taranaki was j on her way to the Manukau, whilst the Wellington was steering southwards for Taranaki; and the weather being very thick, the lights of the steamers were not discernible to the look- | out men until the two vessels were close upon j each other. Happily, however, through the skill of the captains, a frightful calamity has been avoided.
