Island ; found four (thin 1 Vessels (in.-ludinjr the barque Edwin Basset, from Wellington to Newcastle, which had been out for j twelvo dajf) ; stayed two days oft' itfaiia, and kit on Satnidny moiniug, arriving off Mauawatu Bay, samo evening ; stood oft' ; for the night, nnd crosbed as above on Sun- : Unj morning. During the passage the Cora hus met with some rough handling from I the fierce gales, which have been blowing ; upon the coast. One heavy sea was s-hippeil, \ striking her amidsliips, and starting the forepart of the house. In consequence of this, a survey was held upon arrival, at the • request of Captain II ussell, "bur the cargo was iound to bo uninjured. One or two narrow escapes have taken place during the voyng*, and it is ouly by the gool seamanship of Captain Russell, and his thorough knowledge of tho coast, that the schooner has got safely to port. After her long detention in port owing to the Tierce westerly weather lately e.x> perienced, the Jane Douglas got away at 7 o'clock on Saturday morning, rcaehiug Wellington at ij p.m. same day. The f.s. CHenclg got away about nine o'clock on Saturday moruing with a cargo of railway material from the llydrabad, shipped at Hartley's. She had in tow the schooner Isabella which was similarly loaded. Tho steamers Jane Douglas and Tui will probably show up to-day from Wellington.
