She left Kaikoura at 6 o'clock the previous evening, and has thus made a good run of ten honrs. A strong southerly wind followed her all the way across. . The steamers Matau and Napier, both bound for Foxton, are still unable to leave here, through the strong southerly wind blowing. . . The prevalence of a southerly gale on the west coast of the North Island prevented the Stormbird and Manawatu from leaving Wanganui for this port on Thursday. As no telegraphic intelligence was received up to 8 o’clock last night, they are still probably barbound. „ _ „ . - Messrs. McMeckan, Blackwood, and Co. s line steamer Albion, Captain J. W.
