The p.s. Manawatu, Captain Harvey, arrived here yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, from Wanganui. As we supposed yesterday, her rather protracted passage was caused by her having to seek shelter owing to the heavy weather experienced The following is the report of the round trip:—Left the Queen's "Wharf at 446 p.m. on Saturday last. At 8 p.m., when rounding Terawlti, a very heavy gale from the "W.S. W. was blowing. At midnight the wind and sea increasing in violence, Captain Harvey deemed it necessary to ran under Kaplti for shelter, anchoring at 3 am. on Sunday. Made a start at 10 ft m., but after driving away at it'for three hours, during which time the jibstays were carried away twice, and seeing that the wind was blowing with redoubled fury, accompanied with a tremendously heavy sea, the little steamer was onec more headed for the friendly anchorage of Kaplti, arriving thsre at 3 p.m.. An hour afterwards a large wooden ship of about 1200 tons ran in for Bhelter. When first sighted the ship appeared to be close to the land. She was very light, and was unable to make any headway when beating. Although the Manawatu signalled to her twice, she could not get an answer from the stranger. At 11 o'clock ou Monday night the Manawatu made another move for Wanganui. with the wind strong from the westward, which continued so till arrival there at noon on Tuesday. She left Wauganui again at 9.30 p.m. same day; crossed the bar at 10.16, and had strong westerly winds to Kapiti: thence till arrival here as above fresh southerly breeze, with heavy sea. The ship which rode out the gale under Kaipiti was sighted on the trip down : she was bearing north with a fair wind. The Manawatu also sighted three barques, two brigs, and three schooners. One of the barques was the Anne Melhuish. She was getting under way at Mana Island, whither she had most probably run for shelter. The two brigs were quite close to each other, and Captain Harvey ha 3 every reason for believing that they were the Neptune and Robin Hood, which vessels doubtless have been detained in the Strait during the last few days by the prevalence of strong westerly winds. If they were the Neptune and Eobin Hood, they will in all likelihood have another exciting race to Newcastle. ■When sighted they were rattling along in fine style through the Strait before a fresh southerly breeze. The Manawatu left for Wanganui shortly after 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Messrs. McMeckan, "Blackwood, and Co.'s fine old steamer Albion, Captain J. W. Clark, arrived alongside the wharf at 9 o'clock last night. On this her present trip she has received a large cargo and a full complement of passengers for all ports. For this port from Sydney she brought 24 passengers and about 76 tons of cirgo. She left Sydney at 4 p.m. on the 30th August, and cleared the Heads at 6.10 p.m. For the first two days experienced fine clear weather with light northerly winds, when It backed round to the B.W. and blew very hard. Arrived off Hokitlkaat 5.30 a.m. on the 4th inst., but owing to the heavy sea running the tender was unable to come out. The Albion proceeded on to Nelson direct, the wind still blowing very haad from the S.W., with tremendous heavy sea and rain. Beached Nelson at 9.30 am. on the 6th; left at 9 SO a.m. on the 6th, and had moderate southerly wind till arrival here as.above. We are indebted to Mr. A. H. Doudnoy(the pureer) for report and files. The Albion will leave here for Hobarton and Melbourne via the South on Friday. Owing to a slight accident to the s.s. Kangatira on Tuesday night, she was unable to sail at her advertised date. She left here at 12 o'clock lost night for Napier. The ship Walkato was berthed at the wharf yesterday morning. She will commence discharging today. If the telegrams are correct, the race between the barques Pym and Malay has resulted in a victory for the former vessel by three days. They both loft here on the 10th of August, and the Malay arrived on the 28th and the Pym on the 25th. The topsail schooner Wave of Life, Captain Sopwith, with a cargo of colonial produce, arrived hero yesterday afternoon. She is from Timaru, and left there on Thursday afternoon last. The ketch Falcon got under way yesterdcy afternoon for Blenheim. The ketch Otaki came off Messrs. CofToy and Dixon's slip yesterday morning after receiving an overhaul, andfthe ketch Reliance was taken up on it in the afternoon. The schooner Saucy Lass, Captain Callow, arrived here yesterday ferenoon from Felorus Sound, timborladen. The s.s. Stormbird sailed for Wanganui last night shortly after 6 o'clock.
