A short but sharp storm of wind and rain broke upon the coast on Thursday morning. The steamer Murray encountered it, but got into port, and was able to sail yesterday morning for southern ports. There was sin unusually heavy surge in the river, caused by the heavy sea on the bar, and by its influence, the schooner Mary Van Every was floated from the position on the beach to which she had been raised by the late heavy fresh.

There is reason to fear that the cutter Pearl, which was carried out to sea by the late i'resli in the Buller, has teen driven ashore or is now drifting about at sea, derelict. The master of the cutter left this port in the steamer Charles Edward, and the Charles Edward went close up to her, some distraite out at sea to the northward, but the master of the cutter had no hands to go on board along with him, and it was unsafe, as well as unprofitable, for the Charles Edward to take her in tow. It is to be hoped that some deserving man may pick her up, and that she will not go to pieces on Rocks Point. There was lately, at Port Chalmers, a Court tWal in which Charles Kogers, chief mate of the ship Challenger, was charged with systematic ili-treatinenl and assaults upon James Wilson, sailmaker of the ship. Eogers was fined and sent to prison for 14 days.
