After such a miserable day as this has peen there is something peculiarly aggravating in receiving late in the afternoon such a telegram a3 the following:— Captain Edwin reports: — " Watch barometer; bad weather approaching, any direction between northeast and north and west. Glass will fall fast. Heavy gale and floods." The Wallace arrived at Wanganuiat 12.45 p.m. to-day. The Kennedy arrived at Westport at 10 o'clock this morning. The Albion, from Melbourne, should be at the ElnfE to-morrow. The Rotorua will be due at Auckland from Sydney to-morrow. The Murray is still detained at Westport, the weather on the West Coast being most "wretched. The Pelorus left Havelock for Nelson at 12.30 p.m. to-day. She will call at one or two bays on the passage up. The Wellington leaves Wellington this afternoon, will arrive here to-morrow morning, and sail on the return trip at 11 a.m. Two vessels are expected* here from the Mauritius shortly, one consigned to Messrs Sclanders & Co., due here this month, and the other a three-masted schooner, which was to leave that port on Friday last with a cargo of sugar, for N. Edwards & Co. The Ladybird arrived in harbor last evening at 8 o'clock, having left Wellington early in the morning. Captain Garrard has been rather unfortunate on this his first trip in experiencing bad weather, nothing but a series of heavy winds having been met with since the steamer left Port Chalmers, which caused her to be a day or two behind her advertised time. The captain was, however, determined to make up some of the lost time, for no sooner was the cargo discharged than the lines were cast off, and the steamer sailed for Taranaki and Manukau about 11 p.m. The Charles Edward arrived alongside the Albion Wharf at 1 p.m. yesterday. She left Nelson on the 19th inst., at 3 p.m., and arrived at Westport at 1 p.m. on the 20th; left again for Hokitika, arriving there at 4 p.m. on the 21st; discharged cargo, and left for Greymouth at 7 a.m. on the 23rd, arriving there at 9.30 a.m. same tide: left again at 8 a.m. on the 24th, arriving at Westport at 8 p.m. same day; was detained there on account of northerly gale until 11.30 am. on the 28th; experienced N.W. -wind with heavy sea and thick foggy weather to Nelson until arrival here as above. The Charles Edward leaves for Wellington at 8 o'clock to-morrow evening. The Tasse arrived at the outer anchorage this morning, after a passage of 12 days from Newcastle. Captain Moulton reports leaving that port on the 18th inst. Strong southerly winds were experienced for the fir3t two days, then northerly winds set in ■which eventually increased to a gale, and lasted nearly the whole of the passage. The bftrque had to be hove to once for 36 hours The Tasso was off Cape Farewell on Friday but on account of a dense fog Capt. Moulton did not deem it advisable to proceed any further, and the vessel wa3 consequently hove to. An attempt was made to pick up the land at noon on Saturday, but in so doing the vessel got in rather close proximity to the Cape, and had to come smartly round The Spit was rounded at 12 o'clock last night and the Tasso arrived here as above, the strong N.W. wind having brought her quickly up the bay. We are indebted to Captain Moulton for late Newcastle papers, and also for the report of the passage, which he kindly sent ashore by the pilot boat. The Xasso brings a cargo of coal for Mr J S Cro33, junr., aud will come into harbor tomorrow morning. A telegram from the Collector of Customs at Cbristchurch dated 24ih inst says- — "Master of Josephine, from Thames to x.ytte!ton, reports having passed, about 11 p.m. on 20th September, a black mass floating about eight l iles N.N.E. A E. from vpfA^f d> *?? Sup P° Bed ifc t0 be a sm all vessel botton up."
