Now at Auckland, the steamer Roggcveen experienced some very heavy weather between ' Brisbane and Sydney prior to coming to New Zealand. , She left Brisbane on the sth inst. After rounding Capo Moreton she experienced a icry strong gale from, the south-south ~ast. Next mcrning the gale was still blowing, and heavy seas were coming up from the south. These increased in violence during the day, and, 3vhcii the vessel was about half way to Sydney, waves were breaking over her port side, smashing skylight:,* and cabin windows. During that night some particularly heavy seas carried away awning stanchions fore and aft, and a quantity of woodwork was washed over- ■ hoard. The waves even swept over the high hoat deck, tearing off several of the lifeboat covers and carrying them away. On the morning of the ith the vessel was making little, or . no progress and the rtorm was still raging fiercely/ A.forward wind screen was carried away," cabin doors were broken, and the alleyway was swept by water. Several cabins were flooded.' the occupants being forced to leave them and.seek shelter elsewhere. In places portmanteaux and bedding were floating about in the water, and some excitement naturally prevailed amongst the passengers. During part of the day the steamer followed the zigz .g course, but this did not afford very much relief, as tho sea continued to break on board the vessel. That was probably the worst day of the trip, as tho vessel was only making about, four knots an hour, and the flooding of the galley Ires made it necessary for those on board to depend upon cold food, At about 4.50 p.m. on the Bth the' weather moderated, and the vessel went on to Sydney without further trouble, No one was seriously injured during the trip,

DEVON LEFT NEWCASTLE. En route from Egypt with troops the Devon left Newcastle on Tuesday for Lyttelton, at which port she is due next Sunday. The vessel londs at Lyttelton. and later comes to Wellington, from which port she is to get away for Liverpool, via Panama, on the 18th June. SHIPS' GRAVEYARD.
