and tookshelter at Wangawhei at 5 p.m. on Thursday; remained there until Saturday morning, when, tho weather having moderated, she proceeded on hor voyage, and arrived as above. The Star of the South was brought into the Iron Pot early on Sunday morning. She will steam for Auckland again, with a cargo of cattlo andsheep, to-night at 8 p.m. , P.S. STOBT.— Our conjecture as to the probable cause of the slight leakage on board the Sturt, proves to .have been an unfortunate one— tho engineer, who stands high in his profession and fully enjoys the confidence of Oayt. Fairchild, declaring that such negligence on his part was impossible. We quite believe him','- 'and -aro sorry that anything should have appeared, in thpsc columns seeming to cast a reflection, although not so intended, upon so trustworthy an officer.' Tho leakage, which, after all, was trifling, must therefor.3 be attributable to some other cause. ' , The s.s. Kecra is expected to arrive at this port from the West Coast early in August. Wo understand that she will be laid on between Napier and Auckland, in tho cattle and sheep trado. The cutter Charlotte took her departure for Kaiap.oi yesterday. * We learn that the schooner Hero may be expected from the Wairoa in a fow days.
