(From the Sottthiaio) Times, Feb. 19.) The Airedale left Port Chalmers at 5 p.m. on the 17th tdt. Experienced light head winds on the passage to the Bluff, arriving at the ■wharf at 9.30 a.m. on the 18th. The cutter Pilot left Hokitika on the 9th inst. called in at Jackson's Bay, and landed passengers and cargo, and sailed for Invercargill. arriving oif 2few Eiver on the 15th inst., but was unable to enter, owing to the heavy sea on the bar, arriving here this morning, with eight passengers from Hokitika. The steamships Albion and Alhambra left Port Chalmers^ at 6 p.m. on the lGth inst. Both ships had to contend against strong head winds during the night, with a heayy head sea, the Albion arriving at the wharf about three-quarters of an hour before the Alhambra. Owing to the insufiicient wharf accommodation here, the Alhambra was obliged to anchor in the stream, consequently had to embark her passengers in boats from the ship.

(From the Southland Times, Feb. 23.) The " B.M.S.S. Otago " left Port Philip Heeds on the 14th inst., Captain Randall reports haviug fine weather with, light S. W. winds on the passage arriving here at 8 p.m., on the 18th inst., with the English Mail. The Otago's cargo for this por will be transhipped into the "Claud Hamilton' atP9?t;Ciialm«rg,

(From the Southland Times, Feb. 23.) The s.s. Claud Hamilton left Port Chalmers at 5 p.m. on the 22nd inst. Experienced Btrong N.W. winds. Arrived at the wharf 10 a.m. Discharged her cargo, which consisted of the " Otago" cargo. JFrom Melbourne transhipped at Port Chalmers for the Bluff, and sailed for Hokitika at 2 p.m. Weol for the ship England has come down freely" 'ftiis last week. On one day as many as 200 bales baing on the road at once. This fine ship will now soon fill up, and intending shippers and passengers will do well to secure freight and passage at once by her. The whaling vessel Amherst, C.apt. Gilroy, arrived here from a most unsuccessful cruise, on the 20th inst. having been out about three months, round the Island, down to Norfolk Island, and the Three Kings. The vessel has been on the beach for the purpose of cleaning her bottom, and as soon as they have got wood and water on board, it is the captains intention to sail for the whaling ground of the West Coast, and Solanders ; we hope he will have better luck this time. ' The Ship Maria, Captain A. Shaw, left Glasgow on the 18th November, had a continuation of head winds on the coast, compelling her to twice run for shelter. On the 24th Deu., made the equator. On the 24th of Jan. was off the Cape. From thence, had strong westerly winds ; on the 4th Feb. in lat. 52 S. long. 65 E. passed two large icebergs. Feb. 6 sighted M'Donald's Island. Feb. 11th sighted other two large icebergs, one of which was of immense size, and while the ship was about three miles off, it completely turned over, causing a great commotion in the sea, extending to fits ship. Captain Shaw states that the sight of this immense body of ice rolling over was something terrificly grand. For the remaining part of the voyage had fine westerly weather, arriving here at 6 p.m. 25th inst, anchoring off the Pilot station, when she was boarded by the Health Officer who reports that no sickness has occurred on the voyage, and that the ship is in excellent order. The Maria has on board a consignment of 223 sheep to Messrs Morton & Co., of Seward Downs, also the principal portion of the cargo is for the same firm, including a number of steam ploughs. (From the Southland Times, March 2.) 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 owirg to the heavy sea running at the time it was found to be quite impossible. The R.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.

(From the Sottthlaitd Times, March 7.) The Edward and Christopher arrived from Dunedin and anchored at the Heads, she has been seventeen days on her passage here, and is bound for Invercargill. * The P.N.Z. & A.R.M. Co.'s tender for carrying the Otago and Southland English mails has been accepted.

(From the Southland Times, March 9. The S.S. v Alhambra, left Hobsons Bay at 5 p.m., on the 2nd inst., Capt. M'Lean reports fine weather with strong S.W. winds on the passage arriving at the wharf at 6 p.m. on the 7th inst. she had a larger cargo than is usual for her, the greater portion of it is for Messrs. Whittingham Bros., of Riverton. ( This morning Capt. Shaw discovered that in the place of a full crew of seaman on board his ship, he had only two. They had taken the boat belonging to to the lighter " Three Sisters," that is loading along-side ; there is no doubt that the " tars," are now steering a course for the Riverton Gold Fields.

(From the Southland Tiites, 14th Feb.) The p.s. Southland, Captain Fraser, arrived here on the 10th inst., from Dunedin. Captain Fraser reports strong head ' inds on the passage. She has a full cargo for Invercargill and will proceed on the "voyage as soon as the state of the New River bar will admit her to enter. The s.s. Phoebe, Captain Gardyne, left Port Chalmers on the 9th inst at 5 p.m., reports strong westerly winds on the passage, arriving at the wharf at 10 a.m. on the 10th inst. A large number of passengers arrived here by this vessel, filling the Royal Coach 5 also Cobb & Co.'s coach for Invercargill. The vessels wind bound at the Heads are the Kate, for Riverton ; Flying Buck, for Invercargill ; Three Sisters, for Invercargill ; also a schooner arrived this morning, name unknown. The schooner Flying Buck left Port Adelaide on the 22nd ult. with a cargo of flour and bran for Invercargill, arriving of New River Heads at 2 p.m. on the Bth inst. Signalled to the Pilot Station for a pilot but could receive no answer, and being unwilling to run to leeward of the port, knowing at the time that the bar was quite safe to take, and also that a vessel had entered the river that tide, stood off and on with signals flying for a pilot till dar.k, when, dm-ing the night the wind set in with terrific violence from the westward, doing considerable damage to the schooner's canvas, and compelling her to run before the gale for the Bluif Harbor, anchoring at the Heads early on the morning of the 9th inst., where she still remains at anchor wind bound. The S.S. South Australian left Hobson's Bay on the 14th inst, Captain Payne reports fine weather, arriving off the port at midnight on the 18th inst., but having cargo to iand here was obliged to heave-to till daylight, arriving at the wharf at 6 a.m. on the 19th instant. On' this voyage the steamship was supplied with a coal from South Australia, whose steaming qualities have not been tried, and whic proved to be very inferior, never being able on the passage to get more than 13 lbs. of steam, which was only equal to propel the ship a little more than half speed. ' Captain Pain confidently states that with Newcastle coals he would have made the passage to this port with ease in four days. <».
