The schooner Awaroa sailed for Wanganui on Saturday evening, and was seen off Pepiu Island yesterday. In the face of the sea which .^as running yesterday, it is probable that .Captain Greagar did not venture across the Straits. There was a tremendously heavy sea on the bar this ; morning, caused by the strong N.W. ;isnd which was blowing last evening. The "■"steamer Lady Barkly, which was to hav-eiiailed "at 2 o'clock this afternoon, did not ?tart,. and a few of the coasting vessels were compelled for the same reason to defer their departure until a change takes place in the state qf the : weather. The Union 'Company's s.s. Hawea, A. Kennedy commander, arrived ih harbor yes-te-'d_y f '" at 5 '30 'p.m., after a stormy passage across the Straits.

Pine weather was experienced as far as VVellington> thence strong westerly winds with heayyjea acros9.the Straits. On the passage frou Pieton several seas were shipped, and when off. the Croixelles one big fellow broke on board abaft the engine-room, but did no damage. The Hawea brings an exceptionally heavy cargo for Nelson, and is pretty weli down.in.the water. Mr Grant, formerly of the Wellington, is purser for this trip, Mr Docherty, being indisposed.
