The p.s. Duke of Ediuburgh, Captain Farquahar, left for the Bay of Inlands, via Wa.:garei, at noon yesterday, with a full cargo and a number of passengers.

The schooner ATacquarie, 125 tons, Captain James, anchored oft' the Queen-street wharf at an early hour yesterday morning, after a protracted passage from Melbourne. She left Melbourne on the 28th ult., and experienced light winds till reaching Wilson'd Promontory, in Bass's Straits. Thenco had bafilmg westerly and southerly winds for several days, after which experiencedeasterly winds for six or seven days. Made the North Cape on Friday last. On the following Sunday, when off the Poor Knights, a fearful gale arose from the east-south-east, witb an jmaaense sea running. The wind blew with terrific force, and carried away the main rigging and back stays, knocked in the companion wav, and filled the cabiu with water, the vessel labouring heavily, and being very much strained; she also made considerable quantities of water, and the men were kept hard at work at the pumps. On Monday the gale increased ill violence, and a tremendous sea coming on board, washed overboard the galley and house on deck, smashing in a large portion of the starboard bulwarks from abreast of tho mizenmast forward to the waist, and washing spars, planks, and everything on deck into the sea, which at this time was lashed into a perfect fury. On Monday the gale was at its height, the ship labored heavily, and for a time it was feared that she would not weather the storm. Portions of the hatches were stove io, and the sea rushed-with the greatest violence into the hold, so that it was imperatively necessary for all hands to labor hard at the putrps to save their lives. The next morning the gale The crew were then in anything but an enviable condition. Their cook house had been washed overboard, and every'drop of fresh water in the ship was spoiled by tho suit water. For four days they had to subsist on ship s biscuits and a mixture of vinegar and fresh and salt water. Directly the g«le aubjided all sail was packed on for Auckland, which was reached yesterduy morning, the hands, we need scarcely say, being greatly exhausted by their unpleasant diet. During the gale of Tuesday, several sails were split to ribbons and considerable damage done to the vessel. She will coine alongside the wharf to-day and commence discharging cargo. The Nukulau, schooner, 100 tonß, left Levuka for this port on the 2nd instant. She was purchased the day previous by Mr. Page for £440.

The schooner Lajtitin, on her last trip to Fiji from this port, made tho passage in fourteen days.

The schooner Meteor yesterday cleared for the East Coast and Poverty Bay. When the schooner Lmtitia left Levuka on the 12th instant, no word had been heard of the Peri, which, as stated in this journal some time ago, left Levuka for an ißlaud twenty miles off, with two white men on board and a number of blacks, and had never since been heard of, unless she was the vessel picked up waterlogged by H.M.S. Basilisk, aa reported in this journal on Saturday last.

Tho schooner Lictitia, Captain Davis, left Levuka on the 12th instant, and experienced strong easterly wind*. When 150 miles ofT Cape Brett, last Monday, fell in with a strong easterly gale, which lasted for 48 lioura. No damage wib done to the vessel beyond splitting the foresail. Arrived in harbour at 6 o'clock yesterday morning. Tho Lcotitia brings one passenger, Mr. Thompson.

Wo would call the attention of the authorities to the disgraceful condition of the Wynyard pier. Unless something is very shortly done to this structure, there will certainly bo a serious accident happen. Some portions of it are positirely dangerous, and the sooner it is repaired the better.

Owing to the continued roughness of the weather, the schooncr Queen will not sail for Tahiti until Monday.

The schooner Ariel arrived from the Baj* of Islands yesterday, with a cargo of coals and ten passengers.
