The steamer John Penn was off this port before midnight on Tuesday, but did not enter the river until 8 o'clock yesterday morning. She sailed last night for Hokitika direct, and will leave Westport for Nelson and tlie Manukau, at the latest on Saturday evening. The following is the report of her passage down: —She left Onehunga on Thursday evening last. Arrived off Cape Egmont the following morning at 1 o'clock. Owing to strong adverse winds was compelled to return to Taianaki for shelter. Sailed again on Saturday at 2 a.m., and arrived in Nelson on Sunday at 12 o'clock midnight. Left Nelson on Monday at 9 o'clock p.m. and arrived off Westport on Tuesday at U.3G. Experienced .strong head winds throughout the voyage. The steamships Airedale and Keora also took shelter at Taranaki. The steamer Murray, on her upward trip, came direct from Hokitika, arriving on the same tide as the John Penn. She sailed for Neison after a short stay. The steamer Kennedy is announced to leave Westport for Manukau on Sunday next. She has been greatly improved—especially on deck—during her stay at Sydney. The Thames has been declared a port of entry. The schooner Edith, Lieut. Woods, is u-vdergoiug an overhaul at Wellington, previous to proceeding on her surveying expedition on the coast. She is a smart-looking craft, and seems well adapted for the service she has been purchased for. The steamer St Kilda has been laid up, the Colonial Government having no employment for her at the present time. The sale of the goods recovered from the s.s. Taranaki realized £6OO. The effect of the pressure of the water upon some portions of the cargo is very remarkable. Tlie suit water has penetrated even the bottles of spirits, and destroyed the contents of all the casks, while many of the cases of dry goods sin the other hand have come out with all their contents comparatively uninjured. During the passage of the ketch Courier, from Pieton to Lyttelton, aud when off the Kaikoras, a school of whales, numbering upwards of 100, were seen by the persons on board the ketch. The brigantine Exouiia, which arrived at Otago, from the Mauritius, on the Bth inst., was, on the 18th September, struck by lightning. It descended from the masthead, tore a piece out ot the foretopmast above the cap, split one plank of topsides on starboard side, started two bolts, and one tree-nail. It then passed through tlie cabin, rushed through the hold, and came out at the forecastle, knocked down two men forward, who were stunned for some time, and then passed ovor the port side, knocked a piece of mainrail off, a sheet of copper and shattered one of her bend planks. When the lightning p.-.. ssed through the hold, an apparent explos oL. took place similar to a heavy report of firearms, after which a sulphureous smell almost unbearable was experienced. On the pumps being sounded, it was found that the vessel, which was perfectly tight before, was making at the rate of seven inches of water per hour, bince then the vessel has taken up and is now making about five inches.
