As advised by telegram a day or two ago. the Koroiniko, which arrived at Auckland on Thursday, had a tempestuous passage from Newcastle. On the Ist inst. the vessel ran into a furioiis W.S.W. gale, and shipped huge quantities of water. These conditions prevailed throughout the night, and the vessel was shipping such tremendous seas abeam Hut it was decided to de\iate somewhat fiom the set coinse. The weathei- was thick, and rain squalls v.ere frequent. On ilie second inst., a big sea lifted the starboard litebo.it off the chocks, and, in falling back into position again, the .boat stove in several ];lank:. Seas continued to break over the ■vessel fore and aft, and one of the cabins was flooded, but no further damage was sustained. '"liroiißhoul the 3nl the ship i oiled heavily to a beam sea, taking heavy water fore and aft. On the 4th conditions improved, and the rest of the passage was marked by fair weather. The accident to the vessel's machinery necessitated a delay of five hours. WIMBLEDON LEFT SYDNEY. In continuation of her vo>age from Kew York, the United States and Australian .steamer Wimbledon left Sydney yesterday for Auckland. She will afterwards come on to Wellington, and it is. expected that she will reach here by the 16th inst. The New Zealand Shipping Company are the local agents for the vessel. Stiffening ballast is now being put in the barque Lady Wolseley, which is expected to be ready for sea about Wednesday next. According to the Otago Daily Times, the vessel is under orders to sail for Ca'.eta Colosa (Chili), where she will probably load a cargo of nitrate for the United Kingdom or the Continent. Owing lo a delay in the making of a new thrust shaft at Port Chalmers, it is stated that the M.iraroa will not be ready for sea until about the end of the month. BY TELEGRAPH. . AUCKLAND, Bth May.
