The barque Pleiades, Captain Carpenter, came into port yesterday forenorm from Newcastle with a cargo of coal consigned to Messrs, Beck and Tanks The old craft on tho passage down hart her share of the recent heavy weather, and from one end of tho passago to the other she had just as much wind os she could possibly stagger under. She left Newcastle on tho 2nd inst,, and had light variable winds and flno JJC 0 !?! 11 " 1111 1' 10 fcth, when a strong breeze sot in from N.N W with a high confused sea, which made her strain badly and her topsides commenced leaking owing to the long tlmo she was loading in Newcastle She was also leaking forward. This wind continued till tho 6th, with a very heavy sea, which made tho barque labor and strain tremendously, and for the safety of the vessel and crew Captain Carpenter was compelled to take tho hatches off and jettison about 20 tons of coal, which had tho effect of casing her somewhat. Tho leak at the bows was also got at and temporarily stopped. On tho 7th the win* veered to tiie S.S.E.. and blew a gale with a very high Be “> ve ]; cl , bt , ln * hove-to; and on tho oth and 10th it hart moderated, but on tho 12th It came up from tho S.W. and blew a heavy gale coming down in terrifle squalls with a mountainous sea, which caused tho vessel to strain more heavily and take water freely on board. Capo Egmont was made out on the loth, and still a galo blowing from tho same quarter, which continued till tho 10th when it moderated to a strong breeze, with which the vessel entered tho Strait. On Tuesday night had another strong gale, this time from tho N W. which ran her through tho Strait, and at 10 a.m yesterday she entered tho Hoads and anchored in harbor a few hours afterwards. On tho voyage an accident h«n pened on the 18th to one of the sailors named James Cameron, whose life was saved only by tho activity el those on board. It appears that at 11 a m he was eut on the upper forotopsail yard, and' by some means missed his hold and foil into the water A life buoy was immediately thrown to him which he succeeded in securing. There was a gale of wind blowing at tho tlmo, but tho boat was speedily launched, and twenty minutes from tho tlmo the accident occurred ho was safely on board the barque again, none the worse for his dangerous mishap. The Otago Daily Times of the 12th Instant, says— Iho barquentfno May, expected from Mauritius, put In an appearance 3 r estorday morning, and was towed into port by tho steamer Iron Age. Bho sailed February 22nd, carried tho S.E. trades until tho 2Stb and then had variab’o winds until In lat. <lO 8. when on March 10th westerlies found her They proved moderate, and veered and hauled botween N.W. and S.W., took her past tho Leuwin March 24th, and Tasmania April Ist.

The May was kept going, but OS sea after sea broke on board, canvas was reduced, and the vessel hove to. She was then off tho Bnaros, but did not sight them, tho weather being too thick.
