The p.s. Manaia has not yet been able to get out of the Wairoa river, the sea being . still too heavy for her to take the bar. The schooner Waiwera, with a load of timber, arrived from Mercury Bay on Wednesday evening. She left Mercury Bay on the 11th, with a strong westerly wind, which accompanied her as far as Cape Runaway. When off the latter place, the Mind veered round to the south, still blowing hard. On Thursday night, the 12th, the sea being very heavy, she put back and sought shelter under the Kawakawa. She again made sail on Saturday evening, the 14th, with a light wind from the south. When off Tologa Bay, on Sunday night, a strong westerly breeze sprang up, winch continued till her arrival off Table Cape. On Monday evening the wind was blowing strong from S.W., with a heavy southerly swell. She put in to Table Cape for shelter, and found the schooner Columbia, and the schooner Euphemia bound from Thames to Lyfcfcelton riding at anchor. The Waiwera set sail again hi company with the Columbia on Tuesday night, the 17 th. When close to Portland Island the Columbia put back, there being a heavy sea. After the Waiwera passed Portland Island the wind changed to the southward, with which she came up the bay. The s.s. Fairy is at present full up with a miscellaneous cargo for Blackhead, arid is waiting a favorable change in the weather to proceed to that place. The s.s. Eesult is to steam for the Wairoa to-day should the weather be favorable. The schooner Tauranga and the cutter Fannie will probably sail to-day, the former for Dunedin, and the latter for Whangapoua.
