The Manawatu left AVanganui at 4.30 p.m. on the 21st, and arrived here at 8.30 a.m. yesterday. She had strong westerly weather and head sea to Kapiti, thence fine to arrival. . The s.s. Wellington, Captain Carey, arrived in harbor yesterday morning. She left Onchunga on Saturday, the 19th, at 3.30 p.m., and arrived at Taranaki at 8 a.m. on the 20th; left at 10 a.m., and arrived at Nelson at 2 30 a.m. on the 21st; left at 2.45 p.m., and arrived at Picton at 11.30 p.m.; left at 1 a.m on "2nd arriving as above. Experienced a strong a. w. weeie, -"ith heavy beam sea, from the Mannkau to -a-rf'ttre'-frflm.tfeMigj.flnppT.'i.thfir, _ via the South. The following is a report of her trip:— Sailed from Hobson's Bay on the 10th inst. Bass Strait was cleared at G p.m. on the 11th, with light easterly weather, which held until she arrived off the Bluff at midnight on the 15th. Steam was cased until daylight, when she ran in and berthed; discharged horses and cargo during the day, and cast off to go to sea at five o'clock that evening. She, however, did not go. A strong tide was running, and a heavy S.E. breeze blowing in, whilst the ship Conflict, which arrived during the day, had been anchored right in the way off the end of the pier. This combination of circumstances prevented the Otago getting right end ont. It -was found to be next to impossible to slew her. and, ft 3 darkness had closed the view, and the night was wild and dirty, she was made fast again for the night. Nest morning she left at 6.30, in the teeth of a fresh easterly gale, which increased as she came along, and raised a high sea. At 3 p.m. she passed the Nuggets, and at midnight reached the Heads, and anchored, entering at daylight. Discharged horses, landed and received a large cargo, and left at S p.m. on the 19th; had thick weather, with smooth sea, arriving at 3 p.m. on the 20th; left 'again at 6.30 p.m. on the 21st, and arrived as above. Passed the schooner Lizzie Guy off Cape Campbell at nine o'clock yesterday morning. The Otago is to leave again for Melbourne, via the West Coast, early this morning. Captain Underwood, commander of the steamer Albion, and Mr. Corbett, chief officer, received very gratifying testimonials from the passengers who went across with that steamer on her last trip from New Zealand to Melbourne. It appears that she met with heavy weather, and broke her rudder, and at one time was in a pos'tion of great peril. The skill and Intrepidity of the above-named gentlemen contributed in no slight measure to pull the steamer through her difficulties; and in recognition of the good services thus rendere 1 in the cause of all on board, the passengers presented Captain Underwood with 100 sovereigns, and Mr. Corbett, the chief officer, with 50 sovereigns.— Otago Daily Times, September 19. A Purchase. The American barque William Oifford, which was here a short time ago, will henceforth sail under British colors. She has been purchased by a company, including the firm 3 of Messrs. Anderson and Co. and Messrs. Lees and Moore, of Oamaru, and Messrs. Bouman and Co., of Dunedin. She is to hail from Dunedin. The William Cifford is now on a voyage from Auckland to Newcastle, and thence to Oamaru with coal, and is expected to arrive there by the end of this month.— Olaqo Daily Tim?.?.

The Otaoo in the Yarra. —The River Yarra ■was blockaded again yesterday, in consequence of a mishap which occurred to the steamship Otago. She left the Queen's Wharf at about 2 p.m., in tow of the Resolute, for Sandridge, whence she was to sail for New Zealand: but when some distance below the gasworks her bow ran into the bank of the river. The stream turning her stem round, and the steamer being much longer than the river is wide, of course all navigation was stopped. The Aldinga, for Adelaide, with the Italian Opera Company on board, and the Otway, for the Western ports, both of which left the wharf soon after the Otago, were detained, along with the Geelong steamer Despatch. It was anticipated that the Otago would be released from her difficulty at high water thiaraornlng, which would be about 2 a,m, —Melboitrhc»Jsa'Ecy'7Vreffr«z^acrficptemlierJ7,' • HoKAjtr Towjs and Hzxbourne.— The steamship Tasman, which has taken up the running in the Hobart Town trade in the place of the Southern Cross, arrived at a late hour on Monday evening from Hobart Town, which port she left at noon on the 20th nit. The Southern Cross, which has performed her work satisfactorily for such a number of years, is to undergo extensive alterations and improvements to hull and machinery, and is to be lengthened a good many feet. So much has been determined on by the directors, but whether the work shall be done at Melbourne or Sydney, or whether the steamer shall be sent to England to have the alterations effected, has not yet been finally decided.—Melbourne Daily T°.ltyraph, September 1. The Jeddah Misfortune. —The Jeddah, bound from Sydney to Melbourne, sailed from Sydney on the morning of Wednesday last, ia command of Captain Le Bar, Captain McKenzie, marine superintendent for the company, and with a representative of the company from Batavia being also on board. After leaving Sydney the steamer had stormy weather, but was making fair progress, and a good passage was anticipated. 'When the steamer was about twelve or fourteen miles from Twofold Bay smoke was noticed issuing from the forward part of the ship, and there was a strong smell of fire. On the alarm being raised, holes were scuttled In the deck and the pumps set to work, and the boats were also got ready in case of emergency. It was considered advisable, In order to allay apprehension, to put into Twofold Bay, and the steamer shaped a course accordingly, arriving at Eden before dark. The services of a diver were secured, and after some trouble several holes were scuttled, and the water let in. All danger from fire was considered fairly at an end, and It was thought that nothing remained to be done but to stop up the apertures and pump out the forehold This anticipation was not to be realised so speedily, however, for, from some unaccountable or unexplained circumstance, the tide soon after found its way to every other part of the vessel, until at last she settled down, with the water within 3ft. of the spar deck. On learning this new danger, steps were taken to have passengers and their luggage, and also the mails, cabin furniture, etc., removed, and as the water continued to gain its way, all were removed on shore. Men and gear were sent from Sydney In the A-S.N steamship City of Adelaide, winch left °n 1' rlilay evening, and reached Eden on Saturday afternoon.. - Xho passengers, with the exception of Mr, and Mrs. Mcllwrafth and family, who came on by the steaiuslilj) You Yangs, were all transferred, with their luggage, to the City of Adelaide, which arrived here yesterday, The Jeddah, when .Captain "Walker left
