The Airedale has experienced nothing but bad weather during her trip; head winds tho whole of the way. .

The Wonga Wonga, Captain Renner, sailed from Wellington.on the 12th instant, at 8 p.m., experienced moderate weather and arrived at Wanganui at 4 p.m. on the 13th. Discharged and took in a full cargo,— sailed from the river at daylight of the 16th. Whilst crossing the .bar, :under guidance of the pilot's sign»l«, the vessel took the ground on the middle spit. Tried to force her over the spit into deep water; but not being able to do so, in consequence of tne vessel canting broadside, on to the sea, and the tide falling, deemed it prudent, for the preservation of ship and cargo, to throw over above 200 sheep and some pigs, in order to lighten the vessel, when she floated off into deep water, steamed over the bar, and proceeded on her voyage. Experienced calm1 weather, and .arrived alongside Swinboume's wharf, at 11 p.m. of the 16^h instant. The schooner Tyne had not arrived at Wanganui, but had been seen off the bar on the three previous days. The Sea Gull, with a fall"cargo, came down the river on the morning of the 16th, and would probably get here on the following mornirjg.— Independent. ■ ~ Wonga Wonga.—We regret to learn that this vessel is to be laid up. The Wellington directors have been taught the truth of the lesson, -'put not your trust in princes.— N. Z. Advertiser. Wonga Wonqa.—The Wonga Wonga, from Canterbury, arrived here on Saturday last, but without the European Mail, and without our usual files from the other Provinces of New Zealand. By the com1 ■ tesy of Captain ttenner, we were favored with a copy of the Lyttdton Times, containing the latest intelligence from Taranski. We also learned that the Lord Ashley, which brought the European Mail from N«lsnn met with an accideut to her machinery whilst coming through Cook's Straits, which detained her some eight hours. : She,! however, arrived at Lyttelton on the 29th ult. with the Mail. She was then ordered back to the North, and her Mail put on board, the Wellington, a small schooner, which was despatched to Ota«o, and did not reach here until Sunday. In times of real emergency we should put up with the inconvenience of being without the. mail, »nd excuse the non-arrivftl of the steamer if she were necessarily employed elsewhere. Bntinthisinstanceitappearaasif the interests of Otago had been sacrificed to ensure the return mail.from the other Provinces being in time for the honie steamer. This is too bad Had our mail been left at Melbourne, we should have obtained it two days sooner by the Pirate. Ah it is we pay a heavy subsidy to the Government mail steamers, and instead of being a beriefit to us, they are now not unfrequeutly an impediment to our business and correspondence. This is a matter for our representatives in the General. Assembly to look to, and we trust they will be mindful of ifc at the proper time.— Otago Witness..

The brig Mountain Maid, Capt. Longmuir, arrived in our harbor yesterday at noon, having had a .long and severe passage of eighteen days, bhe left Sydney on the 26th ult. withaSW. breeze, attended with much rain;, the same night the wind shifted suddenly to E.S.E., and blew a hard gale with hail and rain for five days afterwards, during which time the land was occasionally in sight, and great labor was required to keep the ship off a lee shore. On the sth of May, running in a strong gale from S.W., a ball of fire struck the deck and exploded like the report of * cannon, scattering fire and smoke on all sides, giving the vessel a severe shock, but fortunately no damage was done. Mr.y 10th, spoke the brig Thomas and Henry in Cook Strait; the captain wished her reported. —Lyttdton Times. Thb Gananoqce.—This ship, 785 tons, arrived at Canterbury on May 9th, with a great number of chief> second, and steerage passengers, besides a host of Government immigrants, as well as a heavy cargo. Substantial testimonials: have been prfßented to the Captain, A. Mprjis-,JBsq., by. botlvchief and' fore-cabin passengers. The surgeon, too, J<jhn Ansell Brown, Esq., has received a very flattering testimonial. T£e Rip.—Among the arrivals'in Hobson's Bay yesterday was the_ pi lot schooner Rip, for the No. 2 company of Port Phillip pilots, and built expressly for them at St. John's, t*ew Brunswick. She is a fore-and-aft schooner of 91 tons register, built on the model of the celebrated New York pilot vessels. She is 90 feet long on; deck, with 23 feet beam, and 11 feet depth of hold. Her masts are of white pine, 80 feet and 70 feet long. The model of her hull is very good, and she combines a comfortable and safe sea vessel with great speed. Her fittings-up are plain and substantial. The main-cabin is 25 feet long, fitted with berths on each side. There are also enclosed rooms for master and chief officer. There is no doubt she. will prove herself a first-class vessel, as being sufficiently powerful to remain at eea, and perform her ar duoiis duties in all weather. She has arrived in good order, considering she has had to encounter a succession ot very heavy gales on the outset of her passags, and again from the meridian of Cape of Good Hope — Argus.
