The schooner Agnes has been lost at the Chathams. She was insured for £2OOO in the South British, but that office had partly reinsured. Captain John Dow?, waa signalled yesterday morning about 10 o’clock. She did not reach the harbor until after 12 o’clock, consequent upon her having the ketch Otaki in tow. The City left Port Chalmers at 4.20 p.m. on the 20th; arrived at Lyttelton at 7 a.ra. on the 21st. Had fine weather till 3 o'clock yesterday morning, when a very strong N.W. breeze was encountered. At 10 o’clock, when off Turakarai Head, saw a small vessel flying the signal of distress; bore down upon her and hailed the men on board, but owing to the very heavy gale blowing was unable to get an answer. The crew of the ketch were then seen to make signs as if the vessel was foundering, and the mail steamer was wore round and a rope thrown to the disabled vessel, and got her alongside. She proved to be the ketch Otaki, and the crew, which consisted of the captain and another man, were taken on board. The ketch was then taken in tow and brought into port. While the City was slewing round, just prior to dropping her anchor, the tow line got across the schooner Endeavour's bows and parted. There being no one on the ketch, she commenced drifting down the Bay. Seeing this, Captain Dow, with commendable promptitude, lowered one of the boats for the purpose of putting on board the crew of the ketch before she went ashore, so as to have her properly beached. When the two men got on board the ketch was close to Te Aro shore, and shortly afterwards was high and dry, broadside on the beach. She now lies in comparatively a safe position, the bottom on which she rests being composed of soft sand and shingle. Had she gone ashore 500 yards more to the eastward she would withot doubthave become a wreck, as tbe bottom there Is composed of hard jagged rocks. As to how she got into-the position she was when picked up by the City of Sydney, we learn from her master. Captain W. Manning, that she left Otaki at noon on Thursday; made a good run down with a fresh northerly breeze, when off Baring Head the wind increased to a heavy gale from the N.W., and the vessel had to be brought up with both anchors down. During the night the wind increased in violence, but the ketch rode it out safely until yesterday morning at nine o'clock, when during a very heavy squall both cables parted. »Sail was at once made and the vessel was put before the wind and sea. The gale had now culminated into a series of squalls, during one of which every stitch of canvas was blown clean away ; the jibboom was also earned away, thus leaving the vessel in an utterly helpless condition. Fortunately the City of Sydney hove in sight, and signals being made they were picked up and brought Into port, arriving here as above. It is the opinion that if the Otaki had not fallen in with the mail steamer she would have been blown away to sea, and perhaps never heard of. The Otaki is a very small vessel, registering only fourteen tons. She is owned by Mr. Langley, of Otaki, and is not insured- Her cargo, which is also uninsured, consists of pile and shingles. The s.s. Taranaki arrived here from the South yesterday. ?he left Port Chalmers at 8 a.m. on the 19th; arrived at Oaraaru same day; left at 4.15 p.m. on the 20tb; had light northerly winds till yesterday morning, when a strong breeze from the N. W. was experienced. She will be laid up here on discharge of her cargo, to receive the new compound engines and boiler which are now fast being put together by Mr. E. W. Mills. The p.s. Manawatu left Wanganui at 11.30 p.m. on the 21st, crossed the bar at 12.30., made a fine run to Terawiti, arriving there at 0 o'clock yesterday morning. At this part of the voyage an accident happened to the air pump which necessitated the vessel proceeding from thence under easy steam, consequently she did not reach here till 1.30 p.m. yesterday. She carried with her from Kapitl a strong N.W. gale. She is announced to sail for Wanganui this afternoon. . . „ . „ The Union Company's s.s. Hawea arrived at the wharf yesterday at 2 p.m., from Northern Ports. She left Onehunga wharf at 10 a.m. ©n the 19th, and anchored inside the Heads at 11.30 a.m.; crossed the bar at 10 a.m. on the 20th, proceeded under easy steam, and arrived at New Plymouth at 5.30 a.m. on the 21st; landed cargo and left at 839 a.ra., arriving off Nelson at 9 p.m., and at the wharf at 10 p.m.; left same tide at 11.30 .'p.m., and arrived at Picton at 9 o'clock yesterday morning; left at 10 a.m.. arriving as above. Experienced fresh north-west winds from Nelson. The Hawea left for Southern ports at o’clock yesterday evening. The schooner Unity, Captain Lambert, arrived at Wanganui from this port on the 19th Inst. Experienced heavy weather up, and had to put into Port Underwood for shelter.

The schponer Frank Guy Is now on her way from Port Chalmers to this port produce laden.

The Union Company’s new splendid steamship Wakatipa sailed from Sydney yesterday. According to advertisements in Melbourne papers she is bound for this port; and if so, may be expected to arrive here about the 27Ch Inst,

The strong N.W. gale blowing yesterday prevented the departure of the Stormblrd for Wanganui. She is announced to sail this evening. The r.s. Taupo, Captain Wcmp, left here for Plcton and Northern ports shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At 6,30 pm. the signal of a steamer from the northward was hoisted at the flagstaff, Mount Victoria. The vessel did not enter the harbor, from which we infer that it is the Taupo having had to put back to Worser Bay. Doubtless Captain Worsp, seeing that the night would bo dark and the weather tempestuous, which would render it almost next to impossible to enter Tory Channel, decided to seek the safe anchorage In Worser Bay, rather than keen knocking about in the Strait tUI daylight should break to allow him to proceed on his journey The schooner Aurora. Captain Bomeril * arrived here yesterday morning from Kalpara. The R.M.S.S. City of Sydney sailed for Napier Auckland, Kandavau. Honolulu, and San Francisco last night at 12 o'clock. While here she took on board 120 tons coal, 20 sheep, 0 bullocks, and a large number of poultry. The brig Woodlark left Newcastle the second time for this port on the 21th Inst. She is therefore due here.
