The Lady Barkly sailed for Motueka this afternoon, aud will return tbia evening. She leaves on ner weekly trip to Golden Bay tomorrow. Captain Edwin telegraphs this afternoon as follows:—" Watch barometer, bad weather approaching; any direction between northwest and west and south. Expect falling glass." The schooner Uno beat out of the harbor flgfinst a strong S.W. wind this morning. She hung in stays in the entrance to the harbor, but, being dexterously handled, she was' got about, and passed out between the Arrow Rock and the niaiu laud, a course but very rarely taken by masters of small vessels. The Uno, however, brought up outside the Boulder Bank, and came into harbor again this afternoon. We have not yet heard what is the cause of her returning to port. The Union Company's s.s. Taupo, Captain Carey, came into harbor this morning at 7 o'clock. She left Onehunga wharf at 4 p.m. on Sunday, but touched on a sandbauk, where she remained until 5 p.m., when she got off, and proceeded on her course. The Manukau bar was safely crossed in the dark, the water being as smooth as glass, and the Taupo was off New Plymouth early yesterday morning. Captain Carey stood in to the roadstead, but on arrival there he found such a heavy sea running that there was no probability of comtn inicating with the shore, and the Taupo's head was put seaward, and she came on to Nelson, arriving off the Lighthouse at B*ls p.m., too late to catch the evening's tide. She consequently had to come to an anchor, where she remained until tbis morniag, when the Taupo cai.e into harbor. A Btrong northly wind, accompanied with a high sea and heavy rain, was experienced across the Straits, but when Blind Bay was reached the wind came rouud from the westward, which continued until arrival here as above. The Taupo discharged the Taranaki portion of her cargo into the Hawea to-day, and sailed for Southern ports at 4.-30 p.m.
