Took °n board about 100 casks tallow and a quantity of skins and ■wool, and left same afternoon for Ibis port. Had light wind till abreast of Cape Turnagnn, and themt opened out from the north-west, mcreuing quickly to a gale, and between the hours of 2 an] 4 o clock yesterday morning it was blowing with terrific force. The steamer was kept close in shore under the lee of the land till Cape Palliser was reached and then, under close-reefed canvas she commenced to dodge about the Cape. At noon yesterday the gale suddenly abated, and the wind went round to the southward, enabling the steamer to lay on her course once more. Tlw Kiwi will sail for Casllepomt and Napier, according to advertisement, to-day. The p s. Manawatu sailed for Wanganui at 5 I*> p.m. yesterday, and the s.s. Stormbird left for the same port an hour afterwards.

She is the last of the vessels which the New Zealand Shipping Company have loaded at this port, and the despatch ■which she has received at the hands of the agents shows that the now flourishing company commands ready freights even at the fag-end of the season. The Carnatic will make the fifth vessel which the New Zealand Shipping Company have loaded here during the past season, all of which, except the last, were -clipper ships of over 1000 tons register Their names are the Waikato, Howrah, Ocean Mad, Ilakaia, aim Carnatic.

The Carnatic was hauled out from the wharf yesterday afternoon, and with a hght southerly wind she sailed down to an anchorage off Kaiwarra.

THE QUEEN OF THE WEST. Tlie very heavy N.W. gale of Tuesday night, and the close proximity to the shore atFencarrow Head, in which the barque Queen of the West was reported to be. gave cause for some little anxiety as to whether she would ride the gale out in safety ; but two good anchors, trusty cables, and good anchorage ground were an equal match for the heaviest blows of rude lloreas during that night, and consequently when daylight broke she was snugly at anchor under the lighthouse tugging stoutly at her cables, with thedrift (lying over her. At noon the wind lulled down considerably enabling I’ilot Holmes to hoard the barque, and in something over an hour afterwards she was heading into Hie harbor before a light S.T,. breeze. As she bad powder on board She stood over to the powder ground and anchored there at 3.30 p.m. The Queen of the West is a nice little barque oi 438 tons register. 10 years old, of iron build, ami constructed with a view principa'ly to the carriage of cargo- hut she possesses good lines, and when she gets a wind it is stated shows a pretty clean pair of heels Her passage out has occupied 105 days. Eight winds and line weather—ttic reverae ot which vessels have experienced lately arrived in the colony—were met with throughout the passage. She left Gravesend on the 21th February, and had light southerly winds with fine weather till the Channel was cleared on the 2nd March when the wind hauled Into the N.N.E., very light and lasted for a few days, taking the vessel abreast of the Canaries, where her progress was retarded tor some dan by a continuance of light baffling airs and cairns. On the 17th March what proved to he the fir t of the N.E. trades was felt in latitude llldcg. 20mm. N„ 22dcg. W. They were only of a moderate nature, and. occasionally became variable. The last of them was met with on the 2,.rd, and two days later she found the &.E- ™ other side of the Line, in Sdeg. -Wdcg N The Equator was crossed on the 2!Jth. The S. 10. trades were light, and of n very fickle and variable nature, possessing scarcely anv casting in them, hut hanging to the south, and the barque edged away across the Atlantic with the wind S.S.K. and H., till a, last the coast of Hrazil was sighted on the Ist April, and the barque had lo be put about, and stood off shore, hhc tacked down the American coast till the uth of that inonth when the wind look more to the eastward, and the

nature of the coast allowed her to steer a course southward, with the yards sharp braced up, and the vessel dragglngdo wu the land.Shestood across the ocean again, with the wind still from the south, till the 14th April, when the S.E. trades gave place to a breere from the E.N. F.jWhich was followed by another spell ef southerly weather, lasting till the meridian of Greenwich was grossed on the 29th April. Thence she found the westerly winds, and rounded the Cape of Good Hope on the sth May. Ran down her easting principally between the 43rd and 44th parallels, with moderate \V. and N. W. winds, but principally from the latter quarter. Tasmania was sighted on the 4th inst, and the wind here hauled into the north, blowing moderate. On the 11th inst. Cape Farewell was sighted at midnight, and she came through the strait before a strong N.W. wind,- which increased to a gale when the Heads were reached, obliging Captain Dalrymple to come to an anchorage under the lighthouse on the afternoon of the 12th inst. Rode out the gale safely, and got under way yesterday afternoon, anchoring in port as above stated. Owing to the barque being on the one tack across the Southern Ocean, her cargo has settled over on the port side, and given her a slight list. No land but that mentioned above, or any ships, were seen on the voyage ; neither did any accidents occur. The Queen nf the West has 21 tons powder for here, on discharge of which she will come up to the wharf. The following are recorded as incidents of the steamer Maori's last trip round the South Island Approaching Westport the sea was very high, boarding the Maori frequently. The tide being out, she anchored off the bar in 9 fathoms, the sea by that time having gone down a little. It however got up again, and when day closed was high and breaking all over, rendering the anchorage untenable. With that preparations were made to get the Maori under way, and run inside. The windlass was manned, when suddenly a heavy sea broke on board, and the tremendous jerk on the cable was toe much for the windlass, for the latter was absolutely torn from the deck, and the sole plate and frame were reduced to fragments. To buoy the cable at the 30 •fathom shackle and slip was the next move, smartly accomplished, and the Maori took the bar and safely reached the wharf at 7.30 p.m. Heavy rains accompanied the gale, and flooded the river bank high, and the gale continuing also the Maori was kept prisoner until 10 a.m. on the 28th, then putting to sea, and after a vain search for the buoyed cable bore away for Greymoutb, arriving off the bar at 0.30 p.m. Stood off and on all night, and ran in. at 11 a.m. next day, discharged cargo and transported freight for Hokitika to the steamer Waipara, which was waiting for it. As there were several vessels loading coal, and the supply not equalling the demand, the Maori had to wait her turn, and on the afternoon of the 30th shipped SO tons and 20 tons of coke, and left for Jackson’s Bay at noon on the 31st, taking with her a quantity of baggage and a survey party of fourteen persons, in charge of Mr. C. W. Adams, geodesical surveyor, who was under orders to proceed to the Bay to determine the true meridian of the coast.
