The Steamer Nelson.— The Nelson left this port on Thursday evening, the 23rd February last, at four, p.m., and was off the Spit-end at midnight. On Friday morning, at one o'clock, the wind shifted to the S.W. ; and at five, a.m., the Nelson was off Cape Farewell. It then blowing hard, with a heavy sea. and the -vessel making but little headway, she went in shore, and anchored off PUJar Point in five iathoms water. Eemained there until half-past nine the same evening, when the weather moderated, and the steamer again got under weigh. The Nelson had very unsettled weather throughout the passage down ; the wind blowing from all points of the compass in twelve hours, and sometimes very fresh. Arrived at Okitiki on Sunday, the 26th February, at six, a.m., and crossed the bar at ten o'clock the same morning, when she landed her passengers and cargo. Sailed from Okitiki on Monday, the 27th, at ten, a.m., and arrived at the Grey and crossed the bar at a quarter past twelve, p.m., the same day. Coaled, and took in four bales of wool. Sailed for Nelson on Tuesday, the 28th, at hall-past eleven, a.m. ; passed the Steeples at half-past five, a.m. ; spoke the schooner City of Nelson, off Kaurangi Point, from Taranaki, bound for Okitiki, with passengers, on Wednesday, March 1, at three, p.m., the weather thick and hazy; at halt-post six, was off Cape Farewell, the wind blowing hard from N.W. ; and at three, p.m., arrived at Nelson, after a passage of 274 hours. The total number of hours the Nelson was under steam during the voyage was 75 \. She brought 600 ots. of gold for the Bank of New South Wales, and 40 ozs. for the Union Bank of Australia, the latter quantity being from the Grey. Loss op the Nugget. — The Nugget was bound for Nelson from the Grey in ballast, and not for Okitiki, as previously reported. She drifted out of the Grey and over the bar in the middle of the night : the two men who were on board of her, having given the vessel very little chain, she dragged her anchor as the tide rose. The two men on board, the master and mate, were awoke out of their sleep by the vessel rolling, and, on coming on deck, they found themselves outside the bar, and the craft half full of water. One of the men set the jib to wear the vessel in for the land, but it was soon found she was going down. The men took to the boat, and had hardly got clear of the vessel when she went down head first. They then pulled away for the shore, but when the boat got into the surf she filled. The captain stuck to the boat, and the mate seized an oar ; the latter reached the shore, but the former was drowned. The survivor does not know how far the Nugget was off the land when she went down, but tirinlra it was probably two or three miles away. The Pbince Alfbed.— The P.N.Z. and A.E.M. Company's steamship Prince Alfred, Captain H. S. Macbin, arrived in the harbour at two, p.m., yesterday, from the southern ports. She left Port Chalmers on the 28th February, at three, p.m., and arrived at Port Cooper on the Ist March, at one, p.m. Left the same day for Wellington, at four, p.m., and arrived there on the following morning at eleven o'clock. Left Wellington on the 3rd March, at three, a.m., and arrived at Nelson as above.
