The B.s. Jane Douglas, Captain Fraser, arrived from Gisborne at 3 p.m. yesterday. She left Gisborne on Sunday, the Bth inst., at 1 p.m., with a fresh southerly breeze, but the- wind increasing she put into Happy Jack's Bay for shelter, where she anchored at 7 p.m. the same day. The schooner Advance, bound from Gisborne to Lyttelton, was at anchor, she having also put into the same place to escape the gale. On Monday, it still blowing hard from the southward, Captain Fraser did not deem it safe to weigh anchor. On Tuesday, the wind moderating, the Jane Douglas weighed anchor and proceeded on her trip, but when clear of Table Cape she found herself in a heavy southerly gale; she once more put about and again anchored in Happy Jack's Bay. On yesterday morning at 3 o'clock she left, there then being a light wind with a very heavy sea, and arrived here as above. Thes.s. Star of the South, Capt. Carey, left the breastwork at 3 p.m. yesterday, and anchored in the bay. She left at 5.30 p.m. for Wellington. She has a cargo of wool and tallow for transhipment to the English ships loading in Wellington harbor. All doubts as to the safety of the s.s. Wanaka were agreeably dispelled by the receipt of a telegram yesterday stating that she had arrived in Wellington at 4 p.m. on Tuesday. The s.s. Ringarooma left Lyttelton for Wellington, with the Suez mail, on Tuesday. The Napier portion of the mail will no doubt be forwarded in the Rangatira. The p.s. Manaia will leave for Wairoa at 4 p.m. to-day. The snip Benledi, which left Deal for Wellington on the 29th January, was caught in a severe gale in the English Channel, and had four of her crew washed overboard, all four being drowned. A line of powerful steamers, originally constructed to run. between Liverpool and the West Coast of America, via Cape Horn, are about to be laid on to the Melbourne and Sydney trade, via the Cape.
