Wellington ha 3 been unavoidably detained there till 1 p.m. today. She will arrive here early to-morrow morning, and sail again for Picton, Nelson, New Plymouth, and Manukau at 1 o'clock same afternoon. The boisterous state of the weather yesterday prevented the steamers Napier for Foxton and Jiangitikei, and the Stormbird for Wanganui sailing. If the weather should moderate they will leave this evening. The schooner Kaikoura arrived here yesterday from lyttelton. The s s. Kingarooma, from Nelson, arrived here yesterday morning at six o'clock. She left thai port at 6 o'clock the previous evening, and had thick southerly winds across. She sailed for Melbourne via lyttelton, Port Chalmers, and Bluff, at 3.45 p.m. yesterday. The s.s. Matau, Captain TJrquhart, arrived here yesterday morning at 3.30 from Foxton via Kapiti. She left the former place at 6 20 p.m. on Tuesday. Experienced strong S.E. wind, with thick weather. On the trip down she called in at Kapiti, and reports the schooner Kaiuma as having been floated off the beach. The schooner Eliza McPhee was still on the rocks, but it was expected that she would bo got off yesterday. The .Matau will leave here for Foxton this evening. The p.s. Manawatu left Wanganui at 6.30 p.m. on Tuesday; at 7.20 crossed the bar with the schooner Awaroa in tow. Experienced strong southerly wind throughout. The Manawatu will leave for Wanganui thi3 evening. The Easby sailed for Port Chalmers direct at noon yesterday. The schooner Ruby, which left this port on Sunday, hound for Kaikoura, ran back to harbor yesterday morning, beingnnable to get out owing to the southerly wind. The schooner Aurora came in here yesterday. She is bound for tbe East Coast, but had to put back owing to unfavorable wind 3. The s.s. Ea3by left the wharf at noon yesterday for Port Chalmer3, but on proceeding outside found the sea and wind too heavy for her. Captain Kennedy therefore deemed it advisable to come to an anchor In Worser Bay. The ketch Falcon, Captain Fisk, arrived here yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock from Blenheim. She crossed the bar at 2 o.'clock on Tuesday, but the weather looking treacherous, came to an anchor in Cloudy Bay. Got under way at 6 o'clock yesterday morning, and had light west winds till 2 p.m., when a southerly buster came on, increasing to a tremendous gale with heavy sea. The barque Delmira, which left tills port on July 29th, is still a prisoner in Worser Bay, owing to the continuance of unfavorable wind. All last night a very strong gale from the S.W. blew. It wa3 ushered in yesterday morning by a heavy downpour of rain. About 1 p.m. tbe weather cleared and the wind increased. At 8 o'clock a piping gale was blowing from the S. W„ increasing In violence 33 the night wore on. Another ocean race Home' has just commenced. Our telegTam on Tuesday stated that the ship Carnatic had sailed from Auckland, the ship Wellington from Port Chalmers, and the Fernglen from Lyttelton. They are all bound to London with full cargoes. They have got an excellent start together, and no doubt a close race will be tbe result. Accompanying the third annual report of the New Zealand Shipping Company, to be submitted to the meeting which is to be held at Christchurch on the 2nd of August, is a tabulated form of the vessels despatched from London to this colony under their auspices, and also their homeward-bound fleet during the past year, and abstracts of tbe tonnage to each port, the number of passengers, cargo, etc., which together form a most interesting article. Thenumber of vessels inwards was 54, of the average tonnage of 813$, and passengers 130. Auckland received 15 ships, carrying 1610 passengers; Bluff, 1 and 216; Canterbury, 14 and 2207 ; Napier. 2 and 248 ; Otago, 12 and 1154; Wellington, 10 and 1403; or a total of 54 ships and 6928 passengers. The number of vessels despatched to London for the same period was 26, representing 2-4,802 tons, or an average per vessel of 956 tons. Towards this Auckland contributed i vesselii, equal to 2702 tons ; Canterbury, 12 vesselg and 12,707 tons; Napier, 1 and 842 ;■ Otago and Bluff, 7 and 6600; Wellington, 2 and 1951 tons.. The principal items ot cargo were bona fide exports, or the produce of the colony, such aswool, 80,163 bales; wheat,63,215 sacks; gold, 81,0650z5.; and 5044 tons of sundries. With the progress of the country we feel convinced that the operations of the company will gradually increase, and that the success which ha 3 already marked their endeavors will be far more manifold than at present. We have only to look at the class of vesselg that now enter our harbor, in comparison to what we were accustomed to see a few years ago, and it is apparent to the n>o3t uninitiated that a better class of vessels, in every detail, now frequent our port, mainly due to the influence of this company, which Is deserving of the support of merchants and the public— N.
