The Sisters, which has been detained by the recent bad weather, sailed for Waitapu this morning with a quantity of rails ex Kentish Tar. The Kennedy sailed for West Coast ports with the San Francisco mail at 7 30. this morning. The Charles Edward leaves for Wellington direct at 9 o'clock to-night. The Murray arrived at Onehunga yesterday afternoon, having been 48 hours out from the Waitara, during which she encountered very severe weather. She will return to the Waitara as soon as the weather moderates. The "Wallace sailed for Blenheim last night, and arrived there this afternoon. The Chaudiere has almost completed loading cargo at Wellington, and will probably Bail for London on Saturday next. We regret to hear that her second officer has been incapacitated from duty, aud is now confined to his bed. The Kentish Tar was towed to the outer anchorage by the Charles Edward this afternoon. She will remain there until Friday next, when Captain Pottinger is expected with his crew from Wellington. The Wellington arrived in harbor this morning at 11.30. She left Wellington at 1.30 p.m. yesterday, and Pictonatll.3o p.m., called at Durville's Island, arriving here as above. The Wellington sailed for Picton and Wellington by the same tide at 1.40 p.m.

The fine iron ship Hyderabad, 1360 tons register, which our readers will recollect was wrecked on the west coast of the North Island a few weeks ago, still lies on the sandy beach near the Manawatu river. Tenders were invited for floating her, but there was no response, possibly owing to the conditions being somewhat stringent. Her cargo consists of about 1100 tous of railway plant for the Government of South Australia and is insured in Adelaide. Captain Gibbons, on behalf of the insurers of the cargo ha3 arrived in Wellington, and is now on his way to the scene of the disaster. The vessel herself is insured in London, and on the news of her wreck reaching Lloyd's Messrs Curtis Brothers, their agents at this port, received instructions by telegram to protect the interests of the underwriters, and to prevent any unnecessary sacrifice of the insured property by a hurried sale of the vessel.

The Taranaki, with the San Francisco mail, arrived at the outer anchorage at three o'clock this morning, and came into harbor at 1130. Her passage from Onehungahas been an eventful one. After being detained two or three days there in consequence of the bar being unworkable she crossed it on Saturday afternoon. Shortly afterwards she experienced some heavy squalls, which came dead ahead. She hammered against overwhelming odds for some time, but at last was compelled to succumb, and Captain Malcolm hove his vessel to in the evening. On the following morning, the weather having somewhat abated, the Taranaki proceeded on her course, and reached New Plymouth in the afternoon. There was still a gale of wind blowing, and as the surf boat could not then put off, signals were made from the shore for the steamer to run under the Sugar Loaves, which she accordingly did. During Sunday night the gale increased in fury, and a terrible sea came rolling in. Several big fellows lopped over the steamer, one of which lifted the forward port boat clean out of the chocks. As matters had now became exceedingly unpleasant the anchor was hove up, and the steamer proceeded out ito sea. She came back to New Plymouth yesterday morning, and landed the mails and passengers, but no cargo. The Taranaki proceeded on to Nelson at 10 30 a.m., and experienced a strong S.W. wind in tht Straits, arriving here as above. Alter landing her Taranaki cargo she sailed for Wellington and South at 2 p.m.
