Company’s ship Waimate, Captain Pe- k, from London, with 23, passengers and 30 immigrants for Wellington, nominated by the Immigrants and Colonists’ all well. The Waimate • cleared the Lizard on June 11, and had - moderate and variable weather. She crossed the Equator on July 11, and the meridian of the Cape on August 4, and thence had strong southerly weather - until making the Snares at noon on Friday. She experienced a terrific southerly gale up the coast, and was driven past the port on Saturday night.

SOrain. when the ball drops. Any difference is error, plus or minus, of the chronometer. The ss. Ringarooma, which had to run back to Worser Bay on Saturday afternoon, made another start same evening, and arrived at Lyttelton at 1.30 p.m. yesterday. , „ , The sea which was running in at the Hcads on Sunday during the southerly gale was the heaviest Pilot Holmes had seen there for years. The following vessels sailed yesterday:—Napier, s.s., for Blenheim, at G a.m.; Tui, s.s., for Foxton, at noon. Schooners —Star of the Sea and Rose of Eden, for Pelorus Sound: Torea, for Kaipara ; Aurora, for East Coast; Excelsior and Nelson, for Lyttelton. Brisantine Hannah Broomfield, for Kaipara; and ketch Elizabeth, for Pelorus Sound. The ketch Forest Queen, which had been at anchor in Worser Bay, bound for Pelorus Sound, put to sea yesterday. The p.s. Luna, Captain Bascand, arrived in harbor yesterday at 9.30 a.m., from Westport. She left there at 5.30 p.m. on Saturday, and after rounding Cape Farewell •experienced a very heavy southerly gale, whi.ch compelled her to go up Queen Charlotte Sound for shelter, where she anchored at 8 p.m, on Sunday. Got under way again at 4 a.m. yesterday, and arrived here as before stated. The Luna was unable to get into Greymouth owing to the very bad state of the bar, and she had therefore to go back to Westport to discharge her cargo. The Luna is expected to go to Lj tteltoa this day. The s.s. Stella arrived in port yesterday from her lighthouse cruise in the Strait. She went from here first to The Brothers, discharged stores, and proceeded to Mana, where a light-house-keeper was taken on board, thence went to Cape Farewell Light, and from there to the French Pass, where the buoy, which had drifted over to the eastern shore, was remoore I in its proper place. After leaving the French Pass on Saturday last, she encountered the ' envy southerly gale, and had to go into Guard Bay for shelter. On Sunday morning she made another start, but there was a frightful sea running in the Strait, and *he stood over to Ohau Bay, where she anchored till yesterday morning. The Stella left at midnight for Cape Campbell and The Brothers.

The following copy of a telegram has been forwarded to us by the Secretary of Customs from the Collector of Customs at Auckland, relative to the search for wreckage on Motnroa Islands, near North Cax/e:—‘“Grey has just returned; reports having searched Moturoa Islands; no appearance wreckage ; landed at Ohora, saw some planks and deck-seats painted brown, about 12 feet long ; Soubitzky, resident there, informed Grey a few oranges had been washed on shore quite fresh ; also some candles, short and thick, marked * Mission,’ these they burned; part of a vessel's mast of say CO tons, head broken off. Was up the coast 12 miles north, but nothing to identify the vessel; nor is there any more wreckage as far north as Paringaringa. I believe that candles similar to those found are manufactured in San Francisco ; the wreckage all kauri/' The p.s. Manawatu, Captain Harvey, arrived in port from Wanganui at 7.30 p.m. yesterday. She left there at half-past 5 o’clock same morning, and crossed the bar at 0 o’clock, and experienced light variable winds with head seas throughout.' The Manawatu will sail for Wanganui this evening. The s.s. Storrabird, which left Wanganui in company with the Manawatu, stuck in the river, and was therefore unable to get out on yesterday morning's tide. It was anticipated that she would succed in getting out yesterday evening, and if so will arrive here this morning. She is announced to sail for Napier at 12 o'clock to-night. The s.s. Wanaka will leave for the Manakau, via in term e liate ports, at midnight to-night. The s.s. Kiwi sailed for Fluxbourno last evening. She will bring back a cargo of tallowThes.s. Jane Douglas is expected to sail for Foxton to-day.

The s.s. Stella, in coming from Cape Farewell Lighthouse to the French Pass, passed close to the wrecked ship Queen Bee. She appeared to be greatly broken up, and the whole of the spit was strewn with her cargo and timbers. ; -
