THE WEATHER.— DAMAGE TO SHIPPING. Tot weather yesterday continued boisterotti, the wind blowing fresh from the N.N.E. daring the earlier part of the daj, afterwards changing to S.S. W. In the early morning the barbour was visited with » gale of some violence, which augmented at intervals almost to the severity of a hurricane. The ■trong puffs, however, were only of brief duration, and resulted in considerably less damage to the ship* ing m consequence. There were, nevertheless, a number of small craft greatly jeopardised, some of which came to grief during its continuance, whilst others dragged their anchors with the heavy sea and strong N.N.E. wind. Several watermen's boats were swamped, and the yacht Sensation drifted from her moorings, came into collition with a cutter, and went down after sustaining injury to her hull A Maori yacht, known as the King Mapere, was driven on to the store forming the lower end of the pier, and went to pieces about 8 o'clock, only a few timbers and the keel remaining after the receding tide. The cutters Doady, Diamond, Lady Batb, and Forth, had their covering boards and rails, Sco., carried away through collision with other cutters, and the violence of the seat which occasionally broke over them. The schooner Donald McLean, which lay near the the beach to the westward of the Custom-house building, yards, awaiting an inspection of her copper, was driven from her berth to the front of Messrs. Clare and Waymouth's yard, and carried away some of the railing round the Solid Rock Bath, but sustained no I injury. The fine cutter Bittern, which was alio laid up in the same locality, was driven much further up, and pitched on the heavy ground near Messrs, Anderson and Sprajfgon's building-yards. Mr. Carr, the boat-builder, whose yard is closely adjacent, had a fine open boat stove in on the beach; and the schooner Kenil worth, alongside the Queen-street Wharf, carried away a hawse-pipe. The gear of several coasters wa» much injured through chafing with the action of the waves, and, if the! masters of several >had not taken the timely precaution of mooring into the stream in anticipation of a gale, much greater damage to tthe shipping would have ensued. The delay and loss of time caused by advene weather is very considerable, although we cannot complain oE the frequency of such in this harbour, which is peculiarly sheltered from anything like the full force of a gale, from whatever quarter it may arise. A number of vessels were prevented doming to the wharves to discharge, whilst others were detained in harbour wind-bound.' Amongst the latter were a number of vessels for the Thames and elsewhere. The steamers Star of the South and Tauranga were also delayed. The tides were much higher than have been known for some time past, and carried away considerable quantities of timber lying above high-water mark. The barometer at one time registered as low as 28 6. Towards evening the weather abated. In the Manukau, the gale raged with even greater force, but little damage was occasioned. The extremely high tides experienced were the subject of general remark, and the cause of some thousands of feet of timber being washed along the street parallel with the beach and the Royal Hotel. So high were the tides, in fact, that the sea encroached nearly two feet on the roadway, carrying with it immense stacks of timber piled above high-water mark. The gale was at its height soon after daylight yesterday morning, but continued in a moderated form throughout the day. The little paddle-steamer Prjnce Alfred, which was moored alongside tbe new Government wharf, had a narrow escape of being driven on to the wharf with the heavy seas ; the tide was such that her sponsons were level with the wharf, whilst the old Government wharf was at this time awash. A waterman's boat was driven ashore and stove in during the operation, and the cutter Mary Ann was carried high and dry on to the beach with the perpetual heavy seas and swell on. Beyond these, however, we have not heard of injury to shipping. The bar, as might be expected, appeared very disturbed, but, as no vessels crof sed, Tf « »re not able to speak definitely of its state.

ARRIVAL OP THE BRIGANTINE STRANGER. The brigantine Stranger, Captain Rawald, arrived ( off the North Head yesterday morning from Adelaide, with a cargo of breadstuff! on account of Messrs. Henderson and Macfarlane. She report! having left on the 7th ultimo, and during the first part of the passage experienced light westerly winds. Made the New Zealand coatt (the Thr«e Kings) on Tuesday, 1 the 23rd ultimo, and on the 25th fell in with* strong' gale from the N.E., veering to E.S.E., and continuing with some violence for 48 hours, during which the ressel was hove to. Had light winds from thence until Tuesday morning, when a strong N.N.E. wind and heavy cross seas were encountered, which continued until the arrival of the vessel off Tiritiri tbe same evening. J Anchored off Tin until yesterday morning, when she got under weigh, but on tacking, prior to rounding the North Head, eaught'on the sand-bank off tbe red buoy, and was {detained until the returning tide, coming up harbour in $he ergning, twenty-two days out from Adelaide. Cargo : 2,406 bags wheat, 250 bags fflour, Henderson and Macfarlane ; 40 bags bark, order.— Henderson and Macfarlane, agents,
