The Clio, which crossed at the same time as the Patterson, although drawing nearly a foot less water, also thumped heavily several times, but got over apparently uni jured. A good race is expected between the steamers ilawea and Hinemoa, which left the wharf yesterday afternoon within ten minutes of each other for Napier.

She hauled away from the wharf yesterday, and is now moored off the breastwork, I There was a heavy sea in the harbor yesterday, the spray occasionally breaking over the small vessels moored to windward of the wharf.
