The s.s. Barwon, Capt. Lourie, left Hoirtika for the Bluff on the 20th ult., and experienced strong head winds to Dusky Sound, which increased to a heavy gale, with a high eea, compeUing the ship to be hove too fpr forty hours, after which the weather moderated, and the ship proceeded on her course. When off Yates' Point, Capt. Lourie saw two men on the beach, Ughting a fire, evidently as a signal to the steamer j but, owing to the heavy sea that was rolling in on the beach, made it quite impossible to land in a boat, consequently aU. that could be done was to answer the signal. It is Captain Lourie's intention, if the weather permit, to send a boat on shore on his return trip to Hokitika, on Thursday next — Southland Times, Harch 28.

* The s.s. WelUngton, Captain Francis, left Port Chalmers at 5 p.m. on the 29th ult., experienced atrong head winds, arriving at the wharf at 10.30 a.m. on the 80th inst. .- she wiU sail from Dunedin and Northern Ports this day, (2nd AprU,) at 4 p.m. The New Zealand Ccmpßny'B new'steamer Taranaki has arrived at WelUngton, and is tot take tibe place of the WeUington (whilt thatd vessel undergoes an overhaul). We may expecte to see her ai the Bluff this month. We bearr there is a jmpec-t of an ejnalgecßtkn between this coKp«.^y utd eaother potEegeing seme fine yeesels.

"We hsve Veen iwftfefl Vy ihe pgenU pf ih

pubUcity to the foUowing extract from a letter re ceived from' the Captain. It says :— " I elearedthe New River Heads at 5 p.m. on the 3rd d April, sighted Cape Saunders at 10 a.m. on the; 4th, but owing to a strong northerly wind did not get an offing till 4 a.m. on the oth. The ship sailed much better than on her trip from Melbourne, and I hope to make a fair passage." The P.N.Z. Company's steamer, Rangitoto,sailed from Hokitika, on Tuesday, the 10th April, at 7 p.m. Had Ught winds from the westward till midnight, when the wind increased to a gale from the S.W., with a teavy sea running. The ship was put under reefed fore and aft canvas ; this continued till 7 a.m., on the 12th inst., when it moderated. Passed the Solander at 10 a.m. and arrived at the Bluff wharf at 4 p.m. The Rangitoto is on her passage to Port Chalmers, and wfll leave this porfc, with the outward English mail, on tbe 18th inst.

The s.s. Phoafo, Captain Gardyne, sailed from the wharf at 4 p.m., on the 12th April., for Dunedin and Northern Ports. The Phoebe's passenger list is somewhat larger this trip than usual, from here. An old resident at the Blnff, Mr H. Simmond, late clerk to the Resident Magistrate's Courfc here, and now holding the same office at Timaru, was a passenger by her. The ship Maria, having the most of her cargo for this port discharged, wiU sail for Dunedin early.

The England has now completed her loading— the largest cargo of wool shifted from this nort She has also on board the engines of the steame Scotia, that was wrecked here, some time since She wfll sail early this week for London, and w have no doubt will make a fine passage home.
