DUNEDIN, May 22

At a late hour last night, Turn-bull, Martin & Co. received advice that the steamer Westmoreland, which left Bluff at 6.15 p.m. yesterday, with the intention of proceeding to Wellington, had struck ground pretty heavily while leaving the southern port. The ship is believed to be making water, but continued her voyage, the intention of her captain being to bring the vessel to Port Chalmers, where docking facilities will be available.
