BLENHEIM.
Last night. v
Information has been received by the Collector of Customs from the Harbor Master at Wa'irau river, that the ten ton ketch Ocean Queen arrived off the mouth of the river on Friday last from Fort Underwood, and anchored, awaiting the tide. At 2 p.m., the gale, which was blowing very hard, increased in violence and the little craft dragged her anchor, and had to put to sea at 4 p.m. She was lost sight of to the eastward of the Pilot Station. Considerable anxiety exists as to the fate of the vessel, as it is known her sails were in a bad condition, and the probability is that she would be unable to get back. Her crew consisted of four men, and up to noon to-day, no farther news had been' received. <■/ ■• ■; '\-.'-.yj . .■'.' ;-■..;' ■■ .
