Tho Wanaka leaves Wellington at noon on Monday, will arrive hpre on Tnpsday morning, nnd sail for Picton, Wellington, and South hv the snmp tide at 10 a.m. Tbe Wallace, which left here for the West Coast on Wednpsday nigbt, has not yet succeeded in getting round the Spit. She ■was lying- at anchor at Totnranui when the Lady Bnrkly passed there yesterday. The Victoria is rapidly discharging her cargo, nnd will probably have a clean" hold by knock-off time on Monday. She takes a quantity of potatoes to Newcastle. Tho Australia, with the San Francisco mail, left. 'Fripco on her contract date, and as she is a smart steamer will probably reach Auckland on Monday. The Hawea brings a*own the Southern portion of the moil. We clip tbe following from tbfi Auckland Star of the 11th instant:— Some idea of the terrific nature of tbe gale which was experienced on tbe const last week may he gathered from the report of the German brignnfine Lina, which arrived from Lyttelton last evening — with her mainmast cut away, her cargo shifted, andthe vessel almo?t a wreck. Capt. Deye reports that he leffc Lyttelton on Thursday, .July 29th, with southerly winds, •which continued till reaching the East Cape. On the 2nd instant encountered a heavy easterly gale. Ran before it till reaching the Great Barrier, on Friday morning. The gale wag then increasing, and the atmosphere being thick and foggy, the. vessel was hoveto. On the nffernoon of that day the cargo shifted, nnd this caused the vessel to lean over on her port side to such an extpnt that ■, tbe water was constantly on tbe deck, and the side of the house frequently touched the sea. A hatch was opened, and efforts made to trim the cargo, but without any success. Lay in that position all night, tbfi gale increasing to a fearful hurricane. During the night tbe port side was almost wholly buried under water. The vessel was making a good. deal of water, and at two o'clock, after pumping continuously, it was found the pumps would not work, there hping no suction, nnd the water on deck likewise acted as a preventative. It was then found necessary to put the vessel on the other tack to prevent her sinking. Prepared for wearing, hut the head sails were blown away immeriintely after they ■were hoisted, It then became apparent that tbe only means by which Jhe vessel could be saved would be to cut away the mainmast. This was done with considerable difficulty early in the morning before daybreak. This bad the effect of making tbe vessel more manageable, and she wore round on the other tack, the water running off her decks. The pumps were again manned, but six hours elapsed before they would work properly. Tbe weather then gradually moderated, and the harbor was made last night.
