High Watee This Day at thb GoVEEHJIENT WHAM?. 45 a.m. 4.29 p.m. Abbitals oif Sunday.—The N. Z. S. Co's. screw-steamer Tarunaki, Captain Francis, arrived yesterday morning at 9.25 a.m., having left Wellington at 5 o'clock on the previous evening, making the run inl6 hours and 25minutes; during the latter port of the passage, experiencea" a head wind. ' During the afternoon, the screw-steamer, Wainui, Captain Crone, arrived from Dunedm via intermediate Ports. This steamer, on her last downward trip to Otago, met with au accident to her machinery, this was owing to one of the connecting rods breaking, and in consequence, the cover of one of the cylinders belonging to the engine was fractured. We understand 'that the necessary repairs have been effected in Duncdin, and that this usrful steamer will resume her place in the berth for Southern ports, and will leave again in a few days. The American barque Zephyr, Captain Miller, also arrived the same day, with a cargo of coals froin Newcastle, N.S.W., consigned to Messrs. Laurie and Gannon. She sailed for this port on the 31st August, Experienced easterly weather up to Coo°k Straits, and afterwards strong nor'-west winds. Capt. Miller reports that the barque Indus sailed from Newcastle for this port on the 28th August. The s.s. Star of tho Evening, Capt. Turner, left this port on Saturday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, for Wellington. The cattle brought down by this vessel were all landed in good order, and are an excellent sample of fat stock. Capt. Turner expects to arrive here with another cargo of cattle on or about Wednesday next.

The P.N.Z. and A.M. Co.'s s.s.Eakaia, Capt. 8. H, Wright, from Sydney, arrived in this harbour at 2 p.m. yesterday, having experienced fine weather the whole of the passage, except on Thursday night and Friday morning, when the weather was very thick. The delay in the arrival here of the Bakaia, which was due on Thursday, is owing to the Postmaster-General in Sydney having detained her for eighteen hours. She left Sydney on Sunday last, at 9 a.m., and has, therefore, made the passage in five days and a half.— Wellington Independent, Sept. 8. The William Miskiit.—By the most extraordinary and successful efforts the William Miskin was launched into deep water this afternoon, and was subsequently towed up to Gibson's quay amidst the cheers and vociferations of all lookers on. The Miskin is not a bit the worse for her misfortune. All parties connected with the getting off this vessel are deserving of the highest praise.— Evening Star, Sept. 4. Stbaxdikg op tee Liohess.—lt is with extreme regret that we chronicle the stranding of the p.s. Lioness. Yesterday, at half-past twelve, she left the river with the intention of running alongside the s.s. Otago, to welcome one of her owners who arrived in that vessel from Melbourne, and had almost cleared the bar when she grounded, and was hove up high and dry upon the beach by a succession of heavy seas, which unfortunately rolled in just then. This Recurred so rapidly that no time was left for any attempt to heave her oif acain,andas the tide made, she worked horsclf further up upon the beach until nearly on a level and just astern of her co-partner in woe the William Miskin. At high water she was lying on her port beam ends, deck to the surf, which, as it rolled in knocked the old boat about sadly, and sanded her up some three feet. As the tide receded she was lightered of her coals, and everything else that was available, and at low water a gang of men were put on to clear away the sand from under her starboard bilge, and by screwing her up from the opposite side endeavour to cunt her over with her deck on shore. At midnight this was not effected, and we much fear the Ihen rapidly advancing tide would necessitate the abandonment of the work. This mishap was caused by' a foolish attjmpl to leave tho river two hours before water, when the channel contained a draught of six feet only; it ■was by the nearest chance that the p.s. Challenge, which immediately preceded her, did not share the same fate,as she took theground also, but being dead in the fairway managed to clear herself. The Lioness was not so fortunate, and now lies helpless upon the beach. Although there are nine feet of walcr in the channel at high tide, we must confess that throughout yesterday it was in very bad condition, as the South Spit had been worked home by the heavy swell, and in consequence the channel was very much contracted. In fact, there was nothing but a gut way, and to hit this fairly required particularly close 'steering. ■ THo bbime can be attached to the Captuin. who ■ kept the beacons in a line, and would with a foot moro i\a(er have cleared the bar. We, however . think he should hav« delayed his departure for halt'an hour, Should the Lioness not break up, she will be lifted, placed on wa\s, and then launched across the Spit into the river, a proceeding that will entail a heavy expense upon hor owners—lT, C, Times, Sopt,3rd.
