The Lady Barkly returned from Golden Bay at an early hour this morning. The schooner Nelson leaves Napier to-day for the Pelorus Sound to load timber for Wellington. The Charles Edward at Westport, and the Kennedy at Greymouth are still detained by the weather, a heavy westerly gale being reported from both places. The Wellington left Wellington at 1 p.m. to-day. She will arrive here to-morrow afternoon, and sail for Picton and Wellington by the same tide at 4 p.m., taking East Coast and Sydney passengers and cargo. The Maori arrived from Lyttelton and Dunedm at 6 a.m. to-day, having left the former port on Saturday afternoon. ,She experienced a strong N.W. wind yesterday. The Maori sails for West Coast porta tomorrow at 1 p m. The Ringarooma, on the passage between Wellington on Saturday, got a proper dressing down. In the Straits she experienced a heavy N.W. gale with terrific sea, which came tumbling on board in great lumps, in some cases doing damage. The weather was so thick tbat Captain Clarke had to go round Stephen's Island. Altogether the Ringarooma has not met with such a knocking ahout for a long time past. During ths N.W. gale on Saturday afterBoon the Lily of the Wave dragged her anchor, and was taken between the Arrow Rock and the main land with the ebb tide. She settled down quietly among some boulders at the end of the rocks, and at low water yesterday had apparently only sustained some trifling damage. To-day, however, a heavy sea was rolling in, and the little vessel was severely handled, but the extent of damage done to her cannot yet be ascertained. Should the weather prove fine to-morrow itis probable that she will be floated off. The Lily of the Wave is a ketch of nine tons, owned by Mr Mackay. of Wanpamoa, and under the charge of Hawera te Hone, of the Naval Brigade. The Union Company's s.s. Taiaroa, Capt. Kennedy, came into harbor this morning at 6 o'clock.

Experienced a strong N.W. gale on the passage across the Straits. The Taiaroa sails for Taranaki and Manukau this afternoon. The Murray returned to port yesterday morning early, having been unable to communicate with Taranaki. She arrived off that port from Wellington at 2 a.m. on Saturday, and came to an anchor. At 6a m as there was every indication of a gale coming on the anchor was hove up, and the little Bteamer's head pointed seawards. This precaution proved to be correct* for at 9 a.m. a heavy N.W. gale set in, and as there was no chance of any boat putting off from the shore, Captain Conway determined lo run for Nelson._ The sea by this time was running mountains high, and the Murray was put before it under reduced canvas. Now and again a big fellow came crashing on board filling the deck up to the rail with water' and threatening to annihiliate her. This sort of weather continued until reaching the more placid waters of Blind Bay. The Mnrray will return to Taranaki to-morrow at noon weather permitting. Messrs M'Meckan, Blackwood & Co's s.s. Ringarooma, Captain Clarke, arrived in harbor at 2 a.m. yesterday. She left the Sandridge JRailway Pier on the Ist inst. at 3.15 p.m., cleared Port Phillip.
