Jack.—Wellington, for Port Chalmers at 5.40 p.m. Passengers: Messrs. Roberts, Robertson, Smith, and Lanauxe. Messrs. McMeckan, Blackwood, and Co.’s s.s. Arawata, Captain Underwood, arrived in port from Melbourne via the South yesterday afternoon. She left Sandrldge at 2.30 p.m. on the 23rd -April, with a cargo and full passenger list, and 30,000 sovereigns for Dunedin;. ‘ She passed, the Ringarooma in the bay from the Bluff at 5 p.ro.. and cleared the Heads at 6.25 p.m., passing Swan Island at 2;SO p.m, next day. with the wind light from the eastward, accompanied with fine weather.tiU noon of the 26th, when a heavy S.E. gale set in," with high sea, and the steamer did battle with it till the South West Cape was sighted on the 2Rih, when it moderated to a fresh breeze: passed the Sounders at 5 p.m. same day. and arrived at the Bluff same night at 10.15; sailed at 5 p.m. on the 28tb, and made al2 hours passage -to Dunedin. She stayed there for another half day. and then moved on for Lyttelton, which port was reached at 9 a.m. on the Ist; sailed again at 5.15 p.m, and;arrived in harbor as above. Had strong southerly winds up the. coast. We thauk the purser for flies and report. The Arawata sailed for Nelson at 1 o’clock this morning.; The first change of wind to the N. W. ought to bring; to the Heads several colliers from Newcastle, comprising the barques Auatralind and Edwin Bassett, for Captain Williams; and the Vindez and Phosphorus. The former is coming to the Brunner Coal-mining and Steam Shipping Company. We understand that Messrs. Beck and Tonks have purchased the brig Jane, a vessel of about 170 tons. She is now on a voyage from Hoharfon to this port, and will perhaps be employed regularly in that trade. The ship Plelone was successfully taken up on the 1 patent Slip yesterday morning. ‘ • The steamer Stormbird left Wanganui at 11.30 a.m. on Tuesday,'and arrived in port at 4 a.m. yesterday.! Experienced strong S!E. wind, with a very heavy sea. 1 round TerawitL The Stormbird sailed for Wanganuiat 7 p.m. yesterday., . ;' • p ' * • ! The brigantine Eagle Wing, Blake master, was loading at Melbourne for this port when the Arawata left. She was expected to sail on the 25th inst. The s.s. Napier left Fozton at 9'p.m. on Monday, last, but had to face a heavy S.E. gale, and Captain Holmes kept her at it till Kapiti was reached ; buthere the sea had increased, and was running very high, therefore he deemed it prudent to drop anchor under that island, where she remained till the full force of the gale had blown over. At 6 p.m. 6n ; Tuesday she left her.anchorage and came on for this' port, arriving at 12.45 am. yesterday. The Napier left again for FoxtonTast evening. The Government steamer Stella arrived In port yea-> terday at 8.30 p.m... .She..left .here, at 8.30 a.m* on Monday last, ran over to The Brothers, but was unable to land; anything owing to the strong gale, blowing from the south ; proceeded-on to Nelson, and reached there at 8 o’clock that night; took in stores, and left for Farewell at 8 o’clock next morning, landed them, and then made another move, towards The Brothers, where, they wer-j fortunate in landing some material for the completion of the lighthouse, also some stores; left yesterday afternoon, and arrived here as above. :

The strong gale of wind which set in from the S.E. on Saturday eight has since changed to the 8. W., which will no doubt give the barque Adamant a good lead oft from New Zealand. \

Preparations for mailing a start on board the ship Kakala were observable yesterday morning, and'by noon the anchor was apeak, her foresails laid Aback, i and the main and mizzen yards braced sharp up; About' 1 p'ra. the headsail was run up. the foreyards hauled; round, and with a fresh .breeze from the S.TV. she; glided across the bay to Ifalswell Point, and then] commenced to work out to Worser Bay, where we ! understand it was Captain Frlston’s intention to bring: up to await a fair breeze to clear the Heads ; but no notification to that effect had been hoisted at Mount. Victoria up to dusk. .The Kakala is in excellent trim! for a run Horae, her draught of water, although she is a: full ship, being only 16ffe., while nearly all the cargo; In the lower hold consists of tallow.

A large number of small vessels cleared at the Cus-, toms yesterday, and would probably get out during s last night and this morning. ; The barque Duke of Edinburgh is now ready for’ sea, having cleared at the Customs for Levuka, where 1 she goes to obtain a cargo of bullocks for New Cale-’ Oonla, for the carriage of which she has been specially; fitted up In this port, and will be able to carry between. 100 and 200 head of cattle. [

The strong southerly wind has driven into Worser Bay a quantity of wreckage, which includes some fragments of deck planking and a largo spar about a foot in diameter. Tills spar may probably be one of the masts of the vessels missing at present, and which are supposed to be wrecked, However, there are no indications on it to establish a belief as to what portion of a vessel’s gear It was, and those who have seen it imagine that it might form portion of a largo vessel's jibboom. The decs planking is supposed to belong to the schooner recently wrecked in ~Cloudy Bay, as the timbers appeared to be fastened down with a kind of large wire nails, which .it Is stated were used in the construction of tno Theresa.

The p.s. Manawatu left Wanganui at 12.80 a.m. on Tuesday, crossed the bar -at 1.16 a.m., and arrived here at 2.45 p.m. yesterday. Experienced light head winds to Terawiti, thence strong southerly wind with very heavy tide-rip and sea. The Manawatu will sail for Wanganui to-day.

The s.B. Taupo will sail for Northern porta at 2 •’clock Oils afternoon, . . . _ The 8.8. Taranaki got away for the North at c •’clock yesterday morning. ... .. The following account of the burning of the snip. Teviotdale, whicb’loaded in this tport some few years back, appears In Mitchell's Register of March 9. it. says—'“Captain Robert Jones, late master..©! tne Iron ship- Teviotdale, of,Glasgow, arrived at Bangor on Tuesday, bringing full particulars of the destruction of that vessel, in Bdeg. 40min: S. latitude, and 70deg. E. longitude. The Teviotdale was owned by Messrs. J. and A. Roxburgh, of Glasgow, and sailed on July 27th last, laden ,wjth.a. cargoof_ 1790. tons of. coal,'from Dundee for Bombay direct. She had a crew iof twenty-six hands, principally belonging to Dundee and Aberdeen. Nothing of importance occurred until October 31, at 5 a.m., when the cook observed smoke.issuing from the forehold. -.This was I reported to the chief mate, John Miller, and next .to the captain, who at once gave directions about shifting the cargo.and-getting the fire -engine and pumps to play in the lower hold and ’tween decks. AU day the crew did their best to get at the seat of the fire, and on the following day these exertions were resumed, but they were driven from the hold by the smoke, sulphur, and gas. The hatches ana ventilators were then battened down with theview of smothering the fire, but at 4 a.m. on November 2 they were blown up by a violent explosion. The crew continued to play upon the burning moss, but it was found that the deck had Ignited, and at 7 a.m. the flames broke through. The masts, by one, fell overboard ; all hopes of saving the ship were then abandoned, and the Iwo long boats and the ship s lifeboats were launched and provisioned. The ship being nothing but one huge blaze both fore and aft, the boats left and steered for Diego Garcia, the southernmost island of the Ch&ges Archipelago, which, after several days and nights’ hard rowing and exposure to heavy seas and bad weather, they succeeded in making, Upon this island they remained for 54 days,subsisting principally upon what fish they could catch. One man was prostrated by epilepsy, but recovered. On the 28th December the shipwrecked crew were taken off by the Capo Town schooner Barso, Captain Christianson, which had touched there on her way from Port Louis, Mauritius, to Six Islands. On the 6th January they were landed at Port Louis.” ! ■ ___
