BY TELEGRAPH. . j LYTTELTON, Thursday. Sailed : Aurora, schooner, for Wellington. PORT CHALMERS, Thursday, Arrived : Bobycito, from Newcastle. Captain Hodge reports continuance of heavy gales from S.E. to S.W., with terrific sea, after leaving Newcastle. April 27. f ' Cleared Foveaux Strait last night, and shipped a sea which partly broached her to, filling the decks and filling the cabin also. It is supposed that the barque Feronia will go from here to Newcastle. The captain who brought her down here from Western Australia left her some time ago, and her late chief officer is not in permanent command. The steamer Kennedy galled for Nelson and AVest Coast yesterday evening shortly after 6 o’clock. She had, however, to run back to port in consequence of heavy weather in the Strait. The barque Malay cleared out for Hobarton yesterday. and dropped down from the wharf. 'ihe steamship Wakatipu is expected to arrive here from Sydney on Sunday. She brings a large general cargo and a full complement of passengers. The ship Northampton hauled away from the wharf yesterday afternoon, and went down in tow of the Moa to the outer anchorage. She will sail, in ballast, for Newcastle. The French barque Noveau St. Michael is now ballasted, and will sail shortly for Malden Island, where she will load with guano. The Government steamer Stella left for The Brothers yesterday morning at 7 o’clock- As there was a very heavy sea running in the Strait yesterday, she would be able to do little, if any, work at The Brothers. The schooners Pelican and Alert are now in AVorser Bay, having put in there through stress of weather. They are on a voyage from Hokitika to Dunedin It will be remembered that fears were entertained for the safety of the Pelican. The Government steamer Hinemoa, with his Excellency the Governor and Commodore Hoskins on board, from'a trip round the South Island, arrived in port yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock. We gave an account of her trip to Nelson on AVednesday, She left there on Wednesday afternoon, but had to bring up outside owing to the thick weather. Made another start yesterday morning, and after cruising about the sounds visiting Ship Cove and all other places of any interest in them, came over to Wellington, arriving as above. The Hinoraoa left for New Plymouth, to bring the Hon. Major Atkinson here, at 6.30 last evening. The Union Company's s.s. Wellington, Captain Lloyd, from the South, arrived in port at 6.30 a.ra. yesterday. She left Port Chalmers at 2 p.m. on Monday last: arrived in Lyttelton at 3 p.m. of Tuesday; sailed again at noon on Wednesday, and arrived in |>ort as above stated. The Wellington, after discharging 120 tons cargo, sailed for the North at 2 p.m. The steamer Rangatira sailed for Napier at noon yesterday. The following vessels have returned from Worser Bay, where they were compelled to bring up owing to the unfavorable wind and sea prevailing in the Strait Merlin, which put in here from Lyttelton through stress of weather, and bound to AVaitara ; Elizabeth, for Foxton, and Rose of Eden, for Havelock. A cutter, supposed to be the Dido, pub into Worser Bay yesterday morning. She was probably unable to make Cloudy Bay owing to the westerly wind, and hei master deemed it prudent to run back lor Worser Bay* Yesterday some of the skippers of the numerous fleet of small craft lying at the breastwork represented to the wharfinger, Mr. Reeves, the inconvenience cau*ed to them by having to haul over to the wharf to receive a supply of fresh water. Mr. Reeves immediately on hearing this complaint, gave it to be understood that the vessels lying at the breastwork would bo supplied with water from the street main. The Union Company's s.s. Taranaki arrived in port from the North at 6.45 p.m. yesterday. She Is somewhat behind time owing to the very thick weather experienced on the passage from Nelson to Plcton. She left the Manukauat3.3op.m. on the 7th, had a strong N.W. wind till off Taranaki, when it blew a very heavy gale from the westward, with high sea. She had to continue on her voyage without being able to communicate with New Plymouth. Arrived at Nelson at 4. a.m. on the 9th, and sailed again at 4 p.m. same day, but had to bring up at the Croxelles owing to the extremely thick state of the weather; remained there all night, and got Into Plcton at 11 a.m. yesterday; sailed again at 12.15 p.m., and arrived here as above. The passage throughout was a very dirty one. The Taranaki will sail for the South at noon to-day: The following alarming paragraph appears in the European Mail " A fishing boat recently picked up at sea, four miles south of Boulogne, a bottle containing a letter from the Agent-Genera! of New Zealand, addressed to Alfred Scrlbben, Bristol, on the back of which was written in pencil, * Walpa lost with all hands October 80, 1876/ " We need only add that the Waipa loft Lyttelton for London, with a very valuable cargo and 29 passengers, on the 13th April last, and of coarse the above paragraph mnst be false. The steamers Stormbird and Napier sailed yesterday afternoon, the former for Wanganui at 8.30 p.m., and the latter at 4.30 p.m. As soon a»they got outside the Heads a strong westerly wind with a high sea was running, and both skippers deemed It prudent to rttata to port. They leave again this after*oo2l*

The barque Australind, Captam OUiver, armed m port yesterday at 2 p.m., and beat up to the wharf, anchoring at 5 p.m. During her stay in Newcastle she has undergone a thorough overhaul, and some alterations have been effected to her. The poop lias been abolished, and in its stead a deck-house has been built while the cabin, which formerly occupied the interior of the poop, has been placed between decks. The Australind’s passage from Newcastle to this port lias occupied 22 days, 11 of which were spent in Cook Strait. She left Newcastle on 10th April and for the first four days had light easterly winds and cairns : thence a brisk wind from N.E., lasting to the 2(»th, when it increased to a gale, and blew hard for six hours, with a very low barometer. Then had light variable winds, and made Cape Farewell on Sunday, the 29th lust. Sailed into the Strait with light easterly winds, and at C p.m. on the 7th had a light breeze from the N.E.. which suddenly increased to a gale, and Captain Olliver deemed it prudent to stand in to Cloudy Buy, where she was anchored at midnight. On Tuesday at 7 a.m. it moderated, and she then Jieaded over for Sinclair Head, till at 9 o clock it bore north at a distance of two miles: but here a terrific N.AV. gale came down, and not a stitcii of canvas could be shown to it. She was speedily driven through the Strait, and at 6 a.m. on the 9th Kaikoura Peninsula bore AV.S.AV., about twelve miles off. The gale had here worked into W.N. W., and at 3 a.m yesterday it moderated somewhat, and sail was made, and she boro up for Wellington with yards sharp braced up, and it gave her all she could do to make the Heads, and then she stood right by to port without making a single tack, but she had a sharp beat up from Jerningham Point to the wharf. On the run up from Kaikoura Peninsula to the Heads a very high S.E. sea followed her, driving the old barque at a great rate. On entering the Heads the wind suddenly fell calm, and she was driven right inside the reef by the seas only.
