The ship Maria, is still at the Heads, being unable to get up to the inner harbor, owing to the strong winds ; we learn that shortly after the ship left the Clyde that in a gale of wind the second officer was unfortunately lost overboard every possible endeavor was made to recover him but owing to the heavy sea running at the time it was found to be quite impossible. The E.M.S. Tararua left Port Chalmers at 5 p.m. on the 28th, arriving at the Bluff heads at 6 a.m. anchoring off the Pilot Station. The Taraura is "commanded by Captain Ferguson, late of the Airedale and Phoebe. The s.s. Wellington, Captain Fraser, left Port Chalmers at 6 p.m. on the 27th ; reports having strong head winds on the passage, arriving at the Bluff at 11 a.m. on the. 28th ult. .*.
