Tie U.S. Swatara arrived from Port Chalmers yeserday, and is anchored at the Heads. Yesterday morning, as the three-masted schooner Elderslie was getting under way to proceed on her voyage to Westport, she ran foul of the ship Helen Denny, lying at anchor. The Elderslie had just previously cast off from the Government hulk Omega, and was standing towards Point Jerningham, when the wind, which was bafllintr at the time, slightly changed, and the vessel having very little steerage way on refused to answer her helm. The pilot acted with promptitude, but before the vessel's head could be payed off her Hying jibboom caught on the taffra.il of the ship, and snapped off. The damage is but trifling, and the Elderslie will most probably make another start for Westport to-day. The Stormbird was still bar-bound at Vangamu yesterday. Her date of sailing from Wellington has been altered to Monday. It was blowing strong from the N.\V. at loxton yesterday, and the Manawatu was unable to cross the bar. The Napier was expected to enter the river at seven o'clock last night.The schooner Hannah Barratt has been chartered to proceed to the East Coast. If any doubts remain with regard to the safety of the brigantine Enterprise, they will be dispelled by the announcement that the Enterprise was sighted twice by the crew o( the schooner Aurora between Cape-P»lliser and Castle Point. The American barque Oneca may be expected to put in an appearance on the first change of wind. The same remark applies to the immigrant ship Star of India. The steamer Star of the South, from Fiji and Auckland, may be expected to arrive in this port about the I3th inst. , If there is sufficient water at the breastwork at high tide, to float the brigantine Sea Bird, she will proceed on her voyage to Hokitika this morning. The steamer Taranaki may be expected to arrive this morning. She left Lyttelton yesterday afterThe steamer Wellington was expected to arrive at Nelson last evening. She will be due here on Saturday morning. The steamer Eangatira, Captain Lloyd, arrived from Napier at 4.40 yesterday morning, after a passage of twenty-eight hours. She experienced strong N.W. winds. The California Minstrels (11) and 40 other passengers came by her. She sailed again at 5 o'clock last evening for Napier and Poverty Bay. The ship Helen Denny sent down her fore, main, and mizzen royals, and also her fore and main topgallant yards yesterday. During Wednesday night, after a heavy squall, the anchor watch on board the Helen Denny found that one of the cables had parted. Forty fathoms of chain is attached to the lost anchor. They will be recoverable without much difficnlty. Yesterday forenoon, the strong wind having abated, though the breeze still came from the north-west, the Blanche beat back smartly to her old moorings, off Government House, where she now lies. The barque Waratah sailed for Hobarton, from Napier, on the 25th ult., with passengers. A Leaky Ship and a Refractory; Seaman.—At the Eesident Magistrate's Court on Monday, John Reymond wa3 charged by Captain Veal with being a seaman on board the ship Rosalia, and with having unlawfully assaulted him on the 13th inst. He pleaded not guilty. The evidence of the captain and chief officer, Robert Eeid, went to prove that shortly after leaving Paget Sound in Washington Territory, bound for Dunedin, the ship became leaky and experienced very rough weather. The pump 3 had to be kept going, and a windmill had been erected to work the pump. On the day in question the captain told defendant to assist the mill, as the wind was not sufficient to work it. He refused, and they had words together, when the defendant picked up a large piece of wood and threatened to strike the captain, and going close up to him said he would knock his brains out. For this offence he was sentenced to be imprisoned for one month with hard labor. He was also charged with wilfully disobeying lawful commands on the 16th inst. Thi3 he also denied. It appeared the ship had been running before the wind, making for Tahiti. The day in question the wind chopped round, and the captain called the ship's crew aft and consulted with them as to going on to New Zealand. They all agreed except the defendant, who eaid he would rather go in irons than go on to New Zealand. The crew being unanimous, except him, the ship was headed for this country ; ho refused to work, and he was pat in irons and kept there until arrival here. The Resident Magistrate said the defendant's conduct was very bad, and if the Act had allowed it he would punish him more severely. He was sentenced to one month's imprisonment with hard labor, to run concurrently with the other conviction, and to forfeit two days' pay.—Napier Daily Telegraph, October 27.
