H.M.S. Fly, is ready for sea as soon as her relief— the Fan tome— arrives. As she is to proceed direct to England, merely touching at the Auckland Islands, she will afford a good opportunity for quick conveyance of letters, ■which ought to be prepared, as she may be off within a few days. The Victoria, Government brig, arrived at Wellington on the iOth ult., after a passage of twelve days ftom this port. After the termination of the Council, she ■was to proceed to Nelson with the Members belonging to that place, and thence to Auckland, North about, calling at Taranaki on her way.

[From the " Lyttelton Tunes," June 14.] The principal topic of the current week, tbat which is in every body's mouth, is undoubtedly the furious gale with which we were visited on Tuesday, and which continued from the South and South-west witk more or less violence until Thursday night. The Pauline hrigantine, which was riding off the town, dragged her anchors on Wednesday night, and came on shore just opposite the house of the Rev. H. Jacobs. She had two anchors down, but still her yards and topmasts aloft. The Pereeverence, which was riding close to her, drove in, but getting her yards down in time, she held on at her anchors at a 6bort distance from the shore. The Flirt came on shore close to the jetty, and was much damaged. The long boat of the Duke of Bronte and a boat belonging to Mr. Pollard, which were moored to the jetty, were almost knocked to pieces, and several smaller boats suffered more or less injury. The Steadfast, Captain Spencer, arrived on Monday with about 130 passengers. She sailed from London three weeks after the Duke of Bronte, but had a favourable and rapid passage, especially to the line. Owing to the violence of the weather, her passengers could not be landed until yesterday. She diove down the harbour on Wednesday night, but held on wuh a second anchor. We were glad to see her choose the first fine day to regain her ground, and even come higher up, within view of the town, nothing daunted by the late weather. The Duke of Bronte has landed all her steerage pas■engera. It is evident that our harbour, although tolerably sheltered, ought to be supplied with good moorings. This is not essential for the large ships, the holding ground in the middle of the harbour being good enough, but vessels at anchor in front of the town, ought either be secured to good moorings, 01 else to get under weigh before a south-west gale comes on, and bring to under the opposite shore, wheie they can ride in perfect safety.
