The heavy gale has prevented the departure of the Wallace for Picton, Nelson, and the West Coast;. _ The heavy westerly -winds which have prevailed m this port during the past week culminated yesterday in a most terriao gale.. Between 1 and 2 ocockm the afternoon the wind was at its height, blowing furiously, and during that time the harbor was covered with one sheet of. foam. The shipping suffered very little from the gale, the only accident that occurred being that the cutter Hope, which _was moored to a buoy neir the Eli Whitney, broke adrift and went ashore on the other side of the harbor. There were also a few small boats swamped. About 5 o'clock some light rain fell, but when it cl ared away the gale increased, and raged violently all last night. Westerly winds prevail mostly aver the colony, with a very low glass in the South, and it is erpected that when it commences to rise a strong southerly wind will set in. . The s.s. Napier arrived in port from Blenheim at 615 pm. yesterday. She left there at 11 o'clock same morning, and experienced a strongN.W. gale throughoat. She will return to Blenheim to-day. The brigantine D'Arcy Pratt, from Clarence River, with a cargo of timber for the wharf extension, arrived off the Heads yesterday morning; but owing to the severe gale blowing she had to come to an anchorage The Eangatira went round to the Patent Slip yesterday to have her bottom cleaned and painted. She is expected to leave to-day at 3 p.m. for Napier and Poverty Hay. „ , . The Union Company's s.s. "Wakatipu, Captain Cameron, arrived in port from the South at 7.30 a.m. yesterday. She left Port Chalmers at 1.30 p.m. on the 21st inst; reached Lyttelton next moming, and sailed from there at 3 30 p.m. same day, arriving here a 3 above. Had head winds throughout. She sailed for Sydney direct at 12.30 p.m. yesterday. The s.s. Taupo, from Auckland m East Coast, will be here this morning. She will leave here for Lyttelton and Port Chalmers at 3 p.m. to-morrow.

A fine ship called the Niigata Maru, Capt. Walker, has lately arrived in the Thames from Japan. This is the first vessel bearing the Japanese flag which has entered the port of London. Though built as a steamer, she has made this long passage round the Cape under sail, occupying 141 days. The crew consists of 34 men, all of whom, with three or four exceptions, aro Japanese. The Niigata Maru bring3,a cargo of about 1000 tons, chiefly rice,- and is likely to be the first of a series of regular traders. Captain Walker reports that the Japanese sailors behaved admirably, and in any emergency were always ready to do their part. The Niigata Maru is to be refitted with boilers and machinery, and will then return with the same crew to Japan. H. M. S. SAPPHO. A rumor was current in port last week, which we gave publicity to, to the effect that when H.M.S. Sappho* was leaving this port for Nelson she went ashore at the Heads. From a private letter received in town from Captain Digby, we learn that such rumor was totally without foundation. , The facts of the case were that the vessel left the port under canvas, intending to beat out; but on getting off Barrett's Eeef it was found she would be unable to get out owing to the nature of the weather. Consequently she came to an anchorage while steam was got up, with -which sbe resumed her trip.
