Owing to the non-arrival of the Zealandia, the Schiehallion will be the first wool ship for London this season. She is advertised to sail in November. The schooners Clio and Mabel Jane have arrived in port from Hokitika with timber. The Clio came over the Hokitika bar on Saturday morning last, and the Mabel Jane crossed in the afternoon. Moderate westerly winds were met with throughout, the Clio arriving here at 11 p.m. on Tuesday, and the Mabel Jane at 3 a.m. yesterday. The ketch Forest Queen, Captain Watchlin, arrived in port from Lyttelton at 1 a.m. yesterday, with a full cargo of produce. She left theie on Saturday night last with a strong southerly breeze, which increased during Sunday, and same night a heavy_ sea came over her stern and carried away the steeringwheel. and she broached-to. , The ketch thus lost the chance of making a good run up, as she had to bp bove-to for e ght hours while new steering-gear was rigged up, and then, when that was completed, the wind had backed into the northward. It continued so till 7 o’clock yesterday morning, when a strong S.E. wind came on and took her into port, arriving as mentioned above. The schooner Richard and Mary came into port yesterday morning from Waitapu, Blind Bay. The p.s. Lyttelton arrived in port from Blenheim at 2.30 p.m. yesterday. She left there at 4 o'clock same morning; crossed the bar at 6 a.m., and had fresh S.E. winds across. The ketch Edith Reid, timber laden from Catlins River, arrived in harbor yesterday forenoon. She left there on Wednesday, the 3rd instant, and had light northerly winds and calms till yesterday morning. when a strong S.E. wind was encountered, which carried her into this port. The barque Schiehallion it is expected will come up to the wharf with the first favorable opportunity, to discharge her cargo. She will be the first wool ship of the season of Messrs. Shaw, Savill, and Co. The schooner Nelson arrived in harbor at 3 p.m. yesterday from Lyttelton, with a cargo, of produce. She left there on Tuesday, and had a light N.E. wind for several hours, when the S.E wind caught her and fetched her into port. The p* Wallace sailed for Nelson and West Coast ports at 8 30 last evening. The s.s. Storrabird arrived in port from Wanganui at 0 p.m. yesterday, after a rough trip. She left the wharf there at 10.30 p.m. on Tuesday. Reached the bar at 11 15 p.m., and found great difficulty in getting out, owing to the heavy sea on it. From there experienced a strong W.S.W. gale, with very heavy westerly sea, to Mana, where the wind took into the S.E., and continued to blow hard At 8 o’clock yesterday morning Terawiti was reached, but there was a very heavy rip round it, and Captain Doile was compelled to put back for shelter into Ohau Bay,'where she anchored at 11 a.ro.; remained there till 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon, when the wind and sea having moderated, she proceeded on her voyage, and arrived here as above mentioned. The Stormbird brought 110 sheep, a large number of which were either killed or drowned by the severity of the weather experinced on the trip. The Stormbird will leave for Wanganui this evening. ARRIVAL OF THE SILAS FISH. The above barque arrived off the Heads yesterday morning from New York, via Port Chalmers, and as the wind was fair, she speedily came into pert, and was anchored off the wharf by Pilot Holmes at noon. The Silas Fish left New York on the 29th May; crossed the Equator on the 22nd July ; made the meridian of Greenwich on the 11th August, and passed the Cape seven days afterwards. Crossed the meridian of Leuwin on the Bth September and sighted the Snares on the 21st. and made Port Chalmers same day. Her passage thus occupied 117 days, 26 of which were spent in doldrum weather between 12deg. North and 2deg. South ; outside that the weather was moderate, and on the whole fair. She left Port Chalmers on Thurday last, after discharging her Dunedin cargo, and experienced light head winds and calms up to yesterday morning, when a fair wind was experienced, which continued till arrival here as above mentioned. The Silas Fish was berthed at the wharf yesterday afternoon, was entered the Customs, and will probably commence discharging cargo this morning. She has about 400 tons for this port. Messrs.
