The wretched weather prevailing is affecting the movements of the various steamers connected with this port. The Charles Edward has been lyiug at Westport since yesterday morning, and she reports & heavy sea on the bar with rough aouth-west weather. The Murray, which left for West Coast ports on Monday evening, is rot yet lepot ted as having arrived, and the Lyttelton, which left Blenheim the same day for Nelson, has not yet put in an appearance. The departure of the Wallace for Wanganai is for the same reason postponed until to* morrow. The Ringarooma will arrive from Welling' ton to-morrow, and sail the aame day for Melbourne via South. The Hinemoa did not sail for Wellington this morning in consequence of the unpropi ions state of the weather. She will probably make a start to-morrow morning. The Wellington leaves Willington to-day, will arrive to-morrow morning, and sail in the evening for the North. Whether she or the Kingurooma will be the bearer of the Suez mail is aot known. The Kennedy arrived at Wellington early this morning, and will sail for Nelson tomorrow night, arriving here on Friday mornThe ship May Queen sailed from Lyttelton ior London on Sunday last with a cargo Talued at £46,000. She takes no passengers. The schooner May was towed off the sand by the Lady Barkly yesterday afternoon, and brought up to Lukins' wharf, where she The Tararaa was advertised to leave Melbourne for Hobarton and New Zealand to4ay. . The mosquito fleet are still at their moorings awaiting a change in the weather prior to taking their departure. The Lady Barkly sailed for Motueka this afternoon, in spite of the inclement state of the weather. She was to leave on the return trip at 4 p.m. The barque Ansdell finished discharging yesterday afternoon, and at one* commenced ballasting. This, however, was impeded by the rain, and at knock off time the vessel had only half her ballast taken in. She will probably finish this afternoon, and if the werther is r j all like the thing will take her departure for Kaipara in the evening. The barque Mangerton arrived at Lyttelton from Port Louis on Saturday last. She was placed in quarintine in consequence of having fever on board, three deaths having occurred on the passage. Despite the bad weat'ier that has prevailed for the last day or two the schooner Uno has succeeded iu makiDg a trip to Adele Island and back, though not under the most favorcircumstances. She left here on Monday, and wan out in the gale on Mouday night, against which the vessel hammered well, and arri'ed safely at Adele Island, where she loaded with stone for the harbor works, leaving on the return trip yesterday afternoon, and after a stormy night arrived here this morning. The Union Company's s.s. Maori, Captain ■Bernech, arrived in harbor this morning shortly before 8 o'clock, after a long and rough passage from Lyttelton. She left Port Chalmers at 84.5 p.m! on the 4th instant, and arrived at Timaru next morning at 6-30; discharged cargo and landed passengers, sailing for Lyttelton at 2 p.m., and arriving there at 2 a.m. on the 6th; left at 3-30 p.m. on the 7th for Nelson, and experienced a strong 2J.E. wind as far as the Kaikoras, when it chopped round to the N.W., blowing hard, With high sea running. This con.inued un,til Blind Bay waa reached, when the wind ceased to blow, and the angry waves to roll. During the passage the Maori was steaming the whole time, the engines never being eased once, so it can be inferred from that what sort of a passage she has had. The Maori sails for West Coast ports to-morrow morning at 7 o'clock. ~ The Union Company's s.s. Taranaki, Capt. Griffiths, came into harbor early this morning. She left Onehunga at 3-30 p.m. on the 7th, and arrived off New Plymouth at seven o'clock yesterday, but on account of the heavy sea running the surf boat was unable to put off, and after waiting some time, and seeing no chance of communicating with the shore, a, course was shaped for Nelson, arriving here at 4 o'clock this morning. From New Plymouth experienced a strong N.W. "wind with heavy sea, which made the Taraoaki kick about a good deal. The rain also came dowp in torrents, and never ceased from the time of her leaving New Plymouth until making the tranquil waters ot Blind Bay. The Taranaki sailed for Southern ports at 4 p.m.
