The Wairoa, one of the New Zealand Shipping Company's own vessels, showed up at the Heads yesterday morning from London, but a heavy N.W. wind prevented her finding an anchorage In port up to the time of our going to press this morning. When the s.s. Murray entered the Heads yesterday afternoon from Picton the Wairoa was close in. but the strong ebb tide prevented her making any progress up the entrance. She is reported as having left’London on the 7th. July, and Plymouth on the 15th. where she embarked a number of immigrants. Her passage, therefore, has occupied about 93 days from Plymouth. She has the following passengers on board, besides 193 Government immigrants Mrs. Price, Mr. R. Hargraves,- Mr. A. C. B. Drewe and servant, Mr, Rowles Patterson, Miss E. Spooner. Mr. and Airs. J. Webber, Mr. A. Webber, Mr. and Mrs. Cucksey and daughter. Dr. Hamilton.,

Messrs. McMeckan, Blackwood’s steamer Claude Hamilton, Captain Clark, arrived in port at 10 o'clock last night f'om Melbourne and Hobarton, via the South, after a very rough trip from Lyttelton. She left Lyttelton at 4.45 p m. on the 15th instant, and arrived here as above, experiencing strong northerly gale, with head seas. The date of her departure from Melbourne was the 3rd inst.

The s.s. Murray, arrived in port from Picton and Nelson at 3.80 p.m. yesterday, with cargo and passengers. She left Nelson at 8.30 p.m. on Mondavi and reached Nelson ‘yesterday morning at 8 o'clock. S i!ed again an hour afterwards, and arrived as above. Experienced strong N.W. wind across the Strait. The Murray will sail for Picton, Nelson, and the West Coast to-day. Tlw schooner Kaiuma sailed for Oamaru yesterday morning with a cargo of timber. The schooner Richard and Mary cleared out at the Customs yesterday with a full general cargo for Nelson. She was expected to get away this morning. The Kiwi left for Napier and tHe East Coast stations at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The barque Carlotta anchored under the lighthouse yesterday morning from Newcastle with a cargo of coal for Captain Williams. The heavy N.W. gale no doubt caused her to do so, and with the first change or moderation of the weather she will make the harbor. The Carlotta will, we understand, be converted into a coal hulk here.

The barque Malay arrived in port on Monday evening from Hobarton, with a full cargo of Tasmanian produce. She left there on the Ist instant, and bad to contend against easterly weather throughout. She made Cape Farewell on Thursday last, and had head winds through the Strait, arriving here as above stated.

The master of the ship Macduff, Captain Watson, appeared at the Melbourne Police Court on the 28th ultimo in answer to a charge of having failed to render assignee to the crew of a fishing smack, which the Macduff ran down in the English Channel on the morning of the 20th May last. It was clearly proved that a two-masted yawl was run into ; that her masts were taken out of her ; lint cries for help were heard; and that shortly after her light disappeared. The Macduff was kept on her way without any attempt being made to ascertain whether assistance was required or not. It was proved, however, that Captain Watson was at that time below, and that the vessel was in charge of the pilot, who was responsible. The charge against Captain Watson was therefore dismissed.
