Sea,—Heavy at Greymouth, Hokitika, and New Plymouth ; much sea on bar at Westport. Warnings for gales from above direction were issued on the sth. Heavy gales have been experienced southward of Napier. The s.s. Albion left for Melbourne and Hobarton, via the South, at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon.^ The Hioemoa came round from the Patent Slip yesterday morning. She will probably sail for the Manukaa to-night. . The a.s. Napier arrived in port from Blenheim at o o'clock yesterday afternoon, after a passage of G hours. She was stuck in the river for 3G horns. The Napier will sail for Blenheim to-day. The s.s. Rotorua, from Sydney, via Auckland and Napier, will arrive here to-day. She will go South in the afternoon. The s.s. Jane Douglas sailed for Rangitikei at 0 o’clock yesterday evening with a large cargo. The p.s. Lyttelton is expected here to-day from Blenheim. She will sail in the evening for Kekerangu. . The Kennedy is to leave Nelson this evening, and may therefore be expected here to-morrow morning. The Tararua, from Melbourne and Hobarton, via the South, is expected here to-morrow morning. She will sail same afternoon for Melbourne, via the West Coast. , The departure of the s.s. Wellington for tne Manukau, via intermediate ports, has been postponed till to-day at 2 p.rn. The s.s. Grafton will sail for Dunedin direct to- • morrow. , The brigantines F. W. Tucker and Mary Peverley arrived olf the Heads yesterday morning from Clarence River, but owing to the heavy N.W. gale they had to enrae to an anchor at the Heads. The barque Edwin Bassett, from Newwistle, was also off the Heads yesterday, and also another barque, supposed to be the Carlotta. The Union Company's s.s. Hawea, Captain Wheeler, arrived alongside the wharf last night at S o clock. She left Port Chalmers at 5 p.m. on the 4th, and arrived at Akaroa the following morning at 8 o'clock; left at 11.40 a.m., and arrived at Lyttelton at 4 p.m.; left same night at midnight, arriving here as above. Experienced moderate northerly winds to Lyttelton, thence a heavy N.W. gale prevailed to arrival. The Hawea will leave for Auckland, via East Coast ports, to-day. _ t , The s.s. Stella arrived in port at 11 a.m. yesterday from Nelson. She left there at 8 o’clock the previous night, and owing to very thick weather had to lay-to for 2 hours at the other side of d’Urville Island. The Stella will probably go to-night to Nelson and Taranaki, taking with her members of Parliament. A small yac t named the belonging to Mr. Richardson, of Nelson, came into port on Wednesday evening from Picton. Her object in corning here is simply for the pleasure of her owner. She made a good run across the Strait to the Heads, but there she encountered a heavy N.W. gale, which compelled those on board to take nearly all the canvas off the yacht. The gale, which lasted for 24 hours, d»ove the little craft out out into the Strait; but when a lull came more sail was set, and she beat into port against a very stiff breeze as above stated. The Gannet is about 10 tons, and it required no small pluck and determination to venture across stormy Cook Strait in so small a vessel, particularly at this time of the year, when boisterous weather generally prevails. Messrs. WcMeckan, Blackw od, and Co.’s s.s. Alhambra, Captain Muir, arrived at the wharf at 4.30 run. yesterday, with passengers and cargo from Melbourne, via Hobarton and the South. She left the Sandridge Railway Pier at 2.30 p.m. on the 21st instant, cleared Port Phillip Heads at 0.25 p.m., and passed Cape Schanck at 8-20 p.m. Encountered a strong head wind. Passed Wilson’s Promontory at 4 a.rn. on the 22nd, and Goose Island at 1.10 p.m. Stopped at Swan Island to land stores for the lighthouse. and left at 4.5 p.m. Experienced a light favorable breeze, and arrived at Hobarton at 3 p.m. on the 23rd. Left that port at 1.30 p.m. on the 24th. Passed the Iron Pot lighthouse at 2,45 p.m.. and Cape Pillar at 5.20 p.m. Had fresh breezes and tine weather right across, and passed the Solanders at 3.20a.rn. on the 25th. Arrived at the Bluff at 9.30, and left again at 4.30 p.rn. Reached Port Chalmers at 7.15 a.m. on the 291 h, and left next day at 3.30 p in., arriving in Lyttelton on the Ist at 11.10 a.m.; sailed same day at 8 p.m., and had fresh head winds up the coast. The Alhambra will said for Melbourne, via the West Coast, to-day. We thank Mr. Jones (purser) for files and report. The ship Orari, Captain Mosey, the first wool vessel of the season loaded by the New Zealand Shipping Company at this port, blocked off her hatches yesterday afternoon. She takes a very large cargo, and also a quantity of gold, which latter is expected to arrive in the Rotorua to-day. if the weather be favorable she will leave the w. arf to-day, and Capt. Mosev anticipates being able to go to sea to-morrow. Owing to the early part of the season in which she leaves here, but a small number of passengers have been secured. Thev number 1 saloon, 2 second cabin, and 15 steerage. The fallowing is a summary of her cargo;—42oG bales wool, IGL cases and 400 casks tallow, 12 bales (80 sacks) paper. 21 bales (39 sacks) leather, 32G blks spelter, 7 cases brass, 150 do meats, 8 do Government stores, 15 do shells, 48 do madeita wine, G do hair, 2 kegs butter, 3 bales basils, 0 sacks hair, a quantity of dry bones. 4000 oz. of gold, and 20,000 sovereigns. ...... . The party who have undertaken the floating oi the cutter Dido, at Totaranui, have with them every appliance requisite for launching the vessel. The truiduH operandi * ill be to fix a watertight bulkhf*ad in the st.-rn, and then try to float her off with the aid of casks. The ballast will be thrown over- • board, but the contractors hope to get the vessel off without landing the engine. The winds winch have prevailed lately cannot have interfered much with the vessel, and it is believed that no great difficulty will be experienced in gett ng her off the rocks. -
