BY TRhFMRAPH. PORT CHALMERS. Monday. A N.E. gale is blowing, increasing to a perfect hurricane. The coasting steamers Coomerang for The Bluff, and Beautiful Star for Lyttelton, are detained in consequence. Arrived : Clio, schooner, from Wellington, 29th April, for Moeraki, put in for shelter, _ 'Sailed : Albion, s.s., with Suez mail.

The s.s. Egmont left Foxton at 9.30 a.m. on the 9th, and arrived in harbor at 3.30 p.m. yesterday. On the passage down had dirty weather, with a nasty cross sea. Thep.s. Manawatu arrived from AVanjanui yesterday morning. She is advertised to sail at 5 p.m. this day. The 5.3. Eangatira took her departure last evening for Napier and Poverty Bay. She had a number of passengers and a general cargo. The s.a. Napier left for Wanganul last evening. • The Ruby, schooner, which cleared for Blenheim on Friday night last, is still lying at the wharf unable • to set away, the wind being light and contrary. The trig Neptune, which left on Saturday, was unable to clear the land until yesterday morning. She was sighted by the s.s. Egmont off Sinclair's Head, bowling along with a fair wind behind her, and with ordinary luck Captain Croll ought to make as smart a run as the Eobin Hood did to Newcastle. The same miserable weather still continues, and the arrivals and departures are confined to our coasting steamers. Several English and intercolonial vessels are now overdue, but we expect to see quite a fleet of ships signalled in a day or two. The s.s. Taranaki arrived last night from the Southern ports, bringing a number of passengers, and about 30 tons of cargo for Wellington. She left Port Chalmers at 1.45 p.m. on the Bth, and arrived at Lyttelton at 8.45 a.m. on the flth ; left again at 10.30 the same night, and arrived at the wharf at 8 o'clock last night. Experienced strong easterly winds, accompanied by very heavy rains and thick weather from Port Chalmers until arrival as above. "VVe are indebted to Mr. Edmondson, purser, for our Southern exchanges and letter. The Taranaki will sail punctually at noon this day for the North, carrying the outward San Francisco mail for transmission per s.s. City of Melbourne, which leaves Auckland on the 14th instant. Seamen at Pout Louis.—According to astatement made by a sailor named Eose, at the Williamstown Court lately, seamen must be rather scarce at Port Loui3. The man said the officers of the ship he was in—the Silver Stream—stowed away two policemen who were on duty the day the ship left Port Louis ; and in support of his statement a tall wellbuilt man, who was afterwards put in the box, said he was one of the two men who went to sea for the first time in the Silver Stream.—Melbourne Argus. Accident to the Lady Daelino (s.)—An accident of a serious nature has been occasioned by the steamer Lady Darling colliding with the wharf. The Lady Darling was coming alongside the wharf to load coal; she was stem on, but not going very fast. However, when the order was given to " stop her," the engines would not reverse at once, but remained in a central position for some time. When at last a revolution was obtained from the screw, it was too late, and the steamer ran into the wharf, making a loud crash as she broke her way through the timbers. On being extricated from this position, the damage to the steamer was the first thing examined. It was found that she was not much injured, the only damage done being a small hole knocked in her starboard bow. The wharf was greatly smashed, and the great weight of the steamer carried her through the heaviest timbers, smashing all in. The damage done to the wharf was rather considerable, but had the steamer had much way on it would have been greater. Blame cannot be attached to any one on the steamer, for if the engines had responded to the call on them, the accident would not have occurred. Nevicastle Chronicle.
