The 5.3. Tarama left the wharf at 11 a.m. yesterday for Melbourne, via the West Coast, having been detained by the Postal authorities an hour over her advertised time, awaiting the arrival of the Luna, . with the Napier portion of the outward San Francisco mail, for transmission to the s.s. Phoebe, at Nelson. The s.s. Eangatira arrived in harbor yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, having been absent from port over her average time, through a detention of two days at Napier, caused by having to put back through • stress of weather whilst on her way to Poverty Bay. The following is a report of the passage to and from the East Coast. Left Wellington at 5 p.m. on the Ist; arrived at Napier at 9 p.m. on the 2nd inst., and sailed from there at 3.15 a.m. on the 3rd for Poverty Bay. When off Portland Island a sudden shift of wind occurred to the S.E., with heavy squalls and rain, and in consequence returned, and arrived at Napier at 3.40 p.m. same day ; left again at 4 p.m. on the sth, and arrived at Poverty Bay on Sunday, Oth, at 6.30 a.m. ; discharged cargo and left at 4 p.m., arriving at Napier at noon on the 7th ; sailed next day for Wellington at 11.15 a.m., and arrived at 2 p.m. on the 9th. Throughout the passage to Napier experienced strong southerly gale, and heavy sea running. Returning from Napier, steamed alongside the Luna, lying under Cape Kidnapper, and transhipped from her the English mails. We are indebted to Mr. McCormick, purser, for report of the passage. ' Mr. McCormick is acting in the temporary absence of Mr. Dougherty, as that gentleman is suffering from the effects of a severe fall which happened to him on the Ladybird some time ago. The Colonial Government steamer Luna, Captain Fairchild, arrived yesterday afternoon from the Kidnappers, with his Honor the Native Defence Minister. Captain Fairchild reports leaving Napier on Saturday morning, and experienced fine weather until arrival off Castle Point, when a strong S.E. galo was encountered, compelling blm to put about and run for the Kidnappers for shelter. The Luna arrived there at 12.30 a.m. on Sunday last; left again at dusk on the Bth instant, after a detention of 58 hours, during which time fishing and other amusements were Indulged in by those on board. In conseqnence of the Luna having run short of coal. Captain Fairchild had to husband his fuel, and the Luna steamed with only one boiler up to 11 p.m. tho same night, when it becoming apparent that there was no likelihood of her having to encounter more dirty weather, steam was got up with the other boiler, and she moved through the water at her usual pace, beating the 8-s. Kangatira, by time, over four hours, although that veßsel had passed the Luna at the Kidnappers, and had shipped the Napier mail bag 3 from the Luna, in the hopes of catching the s.s. Tararua, which left Wellington nearly four hours before tho Eangatira Arrived in port. The Government lost no time, however, in despatching the Luna with the malls, and she left the wharf at 7 p.m. yesterday, with the intention of catching the Phoebe at Stephen's Island, as that vessel left Nelson early this morning for the North, and should bo overtaken about the abovementioned island. The s.s. Wallabi arrived from Oamaru at 11.30 a.m. yesterday, with a small consignment for Wellington, the balance of her cargo being for Wanganui. Captain Leys reports experiencing fine S.E. weather until arrival. The Wallabi, after an absence of three years from Wanganui, has again been purchased by residents in Wanganui, and in all probability she will J resume her old trade, namely, between tho West Coast and Wanganui The ketch Falcon, which left Wairau for this port on Saturday last, arrived within six miles of the Heads at 11 p.m. on tho same night, when she was overtaken by the late furious S.E. gale, accompanied by such thick and rainy weather that Captain Morrison was unable to discern Pencarrow light. The gale increasing, the vessel was put about, and she bore away for Port Underwood, which she failed to reach, not being able to weather it as she ran considerably to leeward. Sho then steered for Mana Island, arriving there on Sunday. Remained there until 10 a.m. on the Bth, when sho left, and arrived in harbor yesterday morning. The weatherly qualities of the Falcon were severely tested, but she proved herself to be a staunch and taut little craft. One of the seamen on board reports that she was struck by a tremendous sea that completely staggered her, and another followed, which would have swamped the Falcon had she not risen like a bird on the wing and righted herself before tho second sea was ablo to do any damage. By telegram we learn that the Hannibal has arrived at Nelson with immigrants, after a fair run of ninety days from London. She has several passengers and a quantity of merchandise for this port. Tho barque Queen of the South sailed for Lyttelton yesterday, with a light S.E. breeze. The schooners Wanganui, Aurora, Cora, and tho cutter Dido are still detained in port, awaiting a favorable slant of wind. The ketch XXX arrived from Blenheim yesterday afternoon, with a cargo of produce. She experienced flue weather on the run across.
