The Pearl arrived from Waitapu yesterday afternoon with a load of timber. H.M.S. Sappho will sail for Wellington on Wednesday or Thursday next. The Lyttelton leaves Wellington for Kekerangu this evening. The Albion is due at Hokitika to-day, aud the Alhambra may be expected here tomorrow. The schooner May, from China, with a cargo of tea for Messrs Turnbull & Co., arrived at the Wellington Heads to-day. The s.s. Chitnborazo, of the Orient line, will leave Adelaide to-morrow, where the Cuzco, 39 days out from Plymouth, is now due. The telegraph line being down between here and the Coast, nothing is kuown of the movements of the steamers there or of the state of the weather. O wing to the boisterous state of the weather the Lady Barkly did not sail for Motueka on Saturday afternoon. She, however, left this morning. The Adamant was hauled out of dock on the day the San Francisco mail left England, and was to sail for Nelson at once. She will be followed by the Celestial Queen to leave this month. The Taranaki got up steam on Saturday evening ready to sail, bufc the weather was so bad that her departure was postponed until last evening, when she sailed at half past seven, with several passengers and a quantity of cargo brought on by the Wanaka. The Taranaki must have had a dirty night of it, the wind being dead in her teeth, with a tremendous sea. She was not telegraphed as having arrived at New Plymouth at the time of our going fco press. The Sisters was compelled to return to port on Saturday evening through stress of weather. She tried to fetch Astrolabe roadstead, where her master determined to take shelter, bufc owing to the strong N.W. wind she was unable to fetch there, and after hammering against a heavy sea for a while the schooner was squared off and bore up for Nelson. The p.s. Wallace left Nelsou at noon on the Ist Nov., experienced a moderate norwester, arriving at Picton at midnight; sailed for Wellington at I a.m., had thick dirty weather across the Straits, arrivingalongside the Queen's Wharf at 9 a.m.; left for Nelson yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock, encountered a very strong nor-wester and heavy sea across, arriving alongside the Albion Wharf at 5 a.ni. to-day. The Wallace sailed for West Coast ports with that portion of the San Francisco mail, shortly after nine o'clock this morning. The Wanaka arrived with the San Francisco maii shortly after ten o'clock yesterday morning, too late for the tide, and she consequently came to au anchor at the back of the Lighthouse. She ieft Onehunga at eight o'clock on Saturday morning, and aided by a good breeze made good progress, and was off Taranaki at eight o'clock at night, but as the sea was running mountains high, there was no possibility of communicating with the shore, and Captain M'Gillivray came on to Nelson. She had the wind dead aft the whole way across the Straits, but having no square canvas she was unable to make such progress as she would have done had she had some to set, nevertheless the foreand aft canvas helped her along, and she arrived here as above. The Wanaka came into harbor at five o'clock, and made fast alongside the Taranaki, into which steamer she discharged the Taranaki portion ot her cargo, and 3ailed for Picton at South at 7.30 p.m. She made a good run across to Wellington, having arrived there at 10.30 a.m. today. The Wanaka leaves that port for Lyttelton this afternoon.
