Saix-ei* : W'auaka, at C p.m. Passengers for Wellington—Messrs. McDonald, Harding, Holler, Wright, and Langford. Warnings for gales between north and west and south-west were issued generally yesterday. We notice by advertisements in Glasgow papers that the ship Taranaki was on the berth at Glasgow lor Otago and Wellington, and was expected to sail for the former port on 27th April. After discharging her cargo there she will come on to Wellington. The Taranaki is one of Messrs. Patrick Henderson and Co.’s line of packet-*, is a new Clyde-built clipper of 1124 tons register, and is classed A 1 at Lloyd's. The s.s. Taranaki, from Southern ports, is expected to arrive here to-day. She is announced to sail North at midnight. * ‘ . The steamers Stcrrabird, from Wanganui, and Napier, from Poston, are expected to arrive here to-morrow. The departure of the s.s. Tui .for Foxton has been postponed till to-day. The departure of the steamer Kiwi for Napier has been further postponed till Monday afternoon. The ss. Potonia, from Sydney -via Auckland and Napier, will arrive here in the forenoop. She is announced to sail for Lyttelton and £ort Chalmers at 2 o’clock this afternoon, V J

Owing to the severe handling the steamer Wellington received on thy Manukau bar, she. will have to proceed direct from Onehunga to Port Chalmers to receive repairs. It is probable that the Ladybird will take up her running on the coast. The barque Malay, from this port, arrived at Hobartou on the Bth Inst. She left here on the 13th ult., and fine weather, with favorable winds, was experienced to 400 miles N.E. of Cape Pillar on the tenth day out. Heavy S.W. weather was then had, and for the greater part of eight days the vessel was hove-to. The fore-topsail was lost during this weather. The Malay left Hobarton for this port on Monday last.

The s.s. Tarama left the wharf for Melbourne via Nelson and West Coast ports at 2.30 p.m. yesterday. The agents of the steamer Albion, from Melbourne, via the West Coast, were informed by telegraph yesterday that that steamer was expected to sail from Nelson for this port yesterday afternoon, but up to the time the Telegraph Office closed last night we received no information as to the steamer’s movements.

The schooner Spray has had again-to return owing to heavy adverse winds. It will be remembered that she put in here on the 19th inst.. principally for the purpose of her captain reporting a brig In a dangerous position in Waitui Bay, which afterwards turned out to be the Star of the Mersey; and while on this subject we might mention that Captain Ruxton deserves some substantial reward from those who have benefited by his prompt action In coming in here and reporting the brig. The Spray left here on Wednesday morning last, with the wind string from the northward, with a heavy S. W< swell rolling in at the Heads, which filled the schooner’s decks with water, the cabin having to be almo.-.t battened down to keep the water from getting below. Tire breeze fetched her to the southward of Cape Campbell, when it commenced to die away, and at 7 o’clock next morning hauled to the southward. The schooner was kept at it till noon, the wind in the meantime having freshened up to a strong beceze, when a heavy squall struck her, and blew away the topsail, also splitting the inner jib. and the wind still increasing she put before it and headed for Wellington. Entered the Heads at 11 o'clock on Thursday night, and anchored in port yesterday morning, The damage to her canvas having been repaired yesterday, she was expected to sail during the night. The p.s, Manawatu sailed for "Wanganui at 2.30 p.m. yesterday. The brigantine Excelsior, with a cargo of produce, Ac., arrived in port on Thursday night. She is from Lyttelton, and left there with a full cargo of produce on Tuesday last, with a fresh S.W r . breeze, which carried her to Amur! Bluff, where the wind took northerly, and continued till Thursday morning, when it again came up from the south, and continued till arrival as above.

Captain Dalton, of tho schooner Huby, yesterday received the following telegram from Captain Leech, Harbor Master at Westport Three pieces bulwarks have been found on the beach south of Cape Foulwind. The jfirst with letters ‘XJ It A.’, on it, the second with the letters ,‘WEL’ Another piece was found with 4 Kaikoura’ on it. The bulwarks are black outside and white inside. The letters are in chrome yellow. The cabin ceiling, with portion of compass attached, and two canvas buckets, have also been found. The beach is strewn with wreckage for miles/' The foregoing information now leaves no doubt but that the Kaikoura, with all hands* Islosb. and we hare also been informed that as yet no bodies have been washed ashore.
