ARRIVAL OF THE S S. TUI.
The steamer Tui, in charge of Captain Bendall, arrived from Waitara at 10.15 thiß morning, having left there at 7 30 a in. yesterday, and experienced floe weather. It will toe remembered that this ressel got ashore on the Waitara bar a short time since, and the owners thought so little of the chance of floating her again that they gave notice of abandonment to the underwriters, who, we believe, decliued to accept it Captain Beudall woe Bent up on behalf of tho underwriters, and under his directions the vessel was successfully launched, after having been temporarily repaired. The principal injury to tho steamer consists of her bottom being brokon in two places, forward of the bulkhead; fifteen of tbe batijes, and some four or five ot the plates are southed, and one tf the iron beams is slightly cmoked. The steamer will be placed on one of the Blips immediately, and put in sea-going order. Stae will then be handed back to the owners. Captain Bendall is to be congratulated in having accomplished a task, which it was thought could never have been carried out, thus saving tbe Insurance Companies interested a good round sum.
