She reports clearing Port Philip Heads at 3 30 p m. on the 26th ult.; passed Swan Island at 2 a.m. the following day (Sunday); experienced fine weather until passing the Swan, and then encountered a very strong S.E. gale, with tremendous head sea and weather, having to heave-to for forty-eight hours the gale not abating until the Ist inst. ; then had fine weather, with strong S.E. breeze, up to sighting the land at 5 a.m. on the 3rd inst.; passed Stew- ' art's Island at 5.30, and arrived at The Bluff at 8.30 same day; discharged cargo the following morning (Sunday), and sailed at 3 p.m., arriving at Port Chalmers at 8 a.m. next day; left at 4 p.m. same day (sth inst.), arriving in Lyttelton at 9.30 a.m.,, and sailing again at 5, arriving in "Wellington at 8.30 a.m. yesterday. We are indebted to Mr. Jones, purser, for re-' "port of passage and other favors. The Tararua sailed for Melbourne via The Bluff. - She took a passengers and a very small cargo of exports. , The smart bar we Malay, Captain Hill, arrived from Newcastle after a fair passage of eleven days, beating fleversham by three days, that vessel having u.ft Newcastle on the 23rd. We are indebted to. Captain Hill, ror a report of her passage and our Newcastle exchanges! She left Newcastle on Saturday the 6th ult • experienced northerly winds and unsettled weather with lightning *md a falling barometer till Sum V <ae 28th; the wind -then veered into the g gw', increasing in force, and by midnight reduced lo the two closed-reef topsails ; at 1 a.m. next day, took in fore topsail and hove the ship to under the lee clew of the maintopsail. By this time the wind blew with almost hurricane force, the sea making clean breaches over the ship; at 8 a.m. same- day, a tremendous sea struck the vessel, starting all the starboard and washing everything movable overboard. Towards noon the gale was at its height, at midnight the gale decreasing a little; at 9 a.m. on the 30th, a tremendous sea broke on board, staving the best boat, and breaking the fore and after skids which she was lying on. The gale moderated at. 4 p.m.; set the foretopsaii and foresail, and bore up, steering eastward, the wind blowing from the S.S.W., which continued till the 2nd, veering into the S.S., accompanied by squally and rainy weather. On the 3rd, the wind shifted to the N.E. up to the morning of the 4th, when the wind backed again to the S.E., blowing a gale, with a nasty cross-sea; at 8 p.m. the wind chopped round to the S.S.W. again, continuing until making Cape Farewell at noon on the 6th ; from thence until arrival experienced strong head winds. The Malay passed the barque Heversham off Terewiti, beating through the Strait, and Captain Hill reports being in company with the Ann Melhuish; standing towards the Brothers. Both vessels: may be expected to arrive in harbor early this morning. - The s.s. Egmont arrived from "Wanganui yesterday -afternoon. She left at midnight on Tuesday, and experienced strong S.W. wind and nasty sea until reachingKapiti; from thence light winds. Captain Irvine reports' passing the barques Malay and Anne Melhuish between the Three Brothers and Terewiti.

Southern Cross took her departure yesterday afternoon for Auckland and Napier. She had a large cargo for Napier, consisting of transhipments, 6c. The barque Edwin Bassett sailed yesterday, in ballast, for Newcastle. She teat out in good style, and once clear of the Heads, she ought to make a good slant, as the wind was blowing fresh from the southward, with a likely continuance from the same quarter. The Mera has lost no time in discharging her cargo of grain, and will sail (unless she obtains a freight for any interprovincial port) on or about Friday next for Newcastle direct.

- The barques Malay and Anne Melhuish were sighted by the a, 8. Egmont yesterday, between the Three Brothers and Terewiti, beating np to the Heads against a fresh southerly breeze.
