IVE are informed by Capt. Blair that the Sea Serpent, hence for Wellington, has been a sufferer by the late severe weather. She left the Kidnappers on Monday, the oth inst ; but had to put back the next day. On Thursday, the sth. she was caught in a heavy gale from S. S. IV., accompanied by a severe thunder storm, by which she was driven considerably to the Northward. The ship was struck hv lightning, and one of the hands was prostrated hv the electric fluid but subsequently recovered. The mast also was injured. Such was the violence of the shock, that for some time it was thought the vessel was on fire. She put into Wangawai on the 11th, and sailed again on the Uth.
On Sunday last the surf was exceedingly high, and the Rebecca —lying at anchor in the roadstead—slipped her cable on Monday morning, and stood out to sea. Wo do not remember a higher sea than that we witnessed on Sunday and Monday. That part of the Spit running nearly parallel with Waghom street has been considerably enlarged by the addition of shingle and stones w.'.s icd up by the rollers which have lately broken on our sfio-cs. The Rebecca returned to her anchorage yesterday morning
