Wallace left Nelson for Wellington on Monday, the 17th inst., at 2.30 p.m., experienced a strong nor-west wind and nasty sea till arrival at the Pass, when the weather moderated, and arrived alongside the wharf at 8.30 a.m. on the 18th; left for Nelson at 4 p.m. yesterday, had light and variable winds on the passage across, arriving alongside the Albion Wharf at 5 o'clock'this morning. She leaves again for Wellington tomorrow at 5 p.m. The N Z, Times says that a small yacht named the Gannet, belonging to Mr Richardson, came into Wellington on Wednesday evening from Picton. Her object of coming here was simply for the pleasure of her owner. She made a good run across the Strait to the Heads, but there she encountered a heavy N.W. gale, which compelled those on board to take nearly all the canvas off the yacht. The gale, which lasted for 24 hours, drove the little craft out into the Strait; but when a lull came more sail was set, and she beat into port against a very stiff breeze as above stated. The Gannet is about 10 tons, and it required no small pluck and determination to venture across stormy Cook Strait in so small a vessel, particularly &t this time of the year, when boisterous weather generally prevails.
