The Lady Barkly sailed for Motueka and Golden Bay last evening. The. cutter Midge sailed for Waitapu last evening. The cutter Maid of Italy arrived from Biwaka this morning. In consequence of the bad weather she was unable to proceed to Waitapu, but made a trip from Riwaka to Marahau nnd back instead. The schooner Sisters arrived from Motupipi this morning with a load of produce. Captain Charles reports sighting the steamer Wallabi yesterday coming out of Totaranui. She had some canvas set, and was steering in tb^e direction of the Sandspit. The schooner Waitohai arrived this morning from Havelock. Captain Robinson reports that no less than 13 vessels were lying at Titerangu Bank last week, where they had .taken shelter during the recent bad weather. Among them was a large ketch, Which put in wifch loss of jibboom, but we have been unable to ascertain her name. The Union Company's s.s. Maori, Captain Bernech, arrived in harbor this morning at 10-30.. She left here on Wednesday morniGg, but in consequence of a strong S.W. wind was unable to round the Spit until Friday, arriving at Westport on Saturday.

She was detained by bad weather at the Empire City until yesterday morning at 6 o'clock, when she sailed for Picton, arriving there afc 1 1 a.m. ; left at noon, and arrived here as above. Experienced fine weather to Lyttelton, thence to Wellington thick dirty weather. When crossing the Straits yesterday morning the Hawea encountered a gale from the S.E., with tremendously heavy sea, which frequently broke oa board, but without doing any damage. Tbe steamer cut a nice caper in battling with the contending elements, and two or three times was almost on end, and several white toppers threatened to overwhelm her. The officers of the Hawea state tbat they have never experienced such heavy weather in the Straits for a long time, and aver thafc fche south-easter was composed of two gales lashed together. Notwithstanding this drawback the Hawea made good progress, and was not many hours in entering the quiet waters of the Sound. The passage from Picton to Nelson was, as usual, fine, the water being smooth. The Hawea sails for Northern ports this evening at 8 o'clock. The clipper ship Opawa, under the command of Captain M'Keivie, late second officer of the Hawea, sailed from Lyttelton for London on Sunday last with a valuable cargo ond ; a number of passengers. The vessel is in splendid trim, and we hope that Captain M'Kelvie will inaugurate his command by a rapid run home.
