The steamers Gairloch, Glenelg, and Ro-' wena were unable to proceed to sea yesterday owing to the strong gale blowing. The Union Co.'s s.s. Rotorua, 926, Captain R. Neville, from Dunedin via Southern ports, with outward San Francisco mail arrived at 1.30 p.m. yesterday. She left AJunedih at 3.15 p.m. on the 9th, called at lytteltonuoa-ithe 10th, Wellington on the •Uth, Picton on the I2th, Nelson on the 13th,

and returned to Wellington for mails on the 14th, leaving there at 11 p.m. same night, and arrived \it New .Plymouth at 2.30 p.m. on the 15th ; sailed thence at 4 p.m., crossed the bar at 2.40 a.m. on the 16th, and arrived alongside the wharf as above. She experienced moderate N.E. winds with dull weather and moderate seas throughout the trip. •

A ROUGH VOYAGE. All vessels that have arrived at Sydney from Great Britain during the past week have reported having fallen in with very heavy weather when running down their easting- Some ships which have arrived at Melbourne have reported exceedingly heavy and tempestuous seas, and all have received more or less damage, and, the Achilles, which reached Sydney on the 3rd instant, is, unfortunately, not by any means an exception. In fact, Captain Robinson, who has had command of vessels since 1853, says that he does not ever remember witnessing such terrible angry and cross seas. The Achilles left London on March 24th with light breezes, and had moderate weather till after the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope was crossed on May 26th. between 38' and 40' south. " A heavy gale, with hard squalls from | the N.N.E, tojW.N.W., then assailed * the vessel, *in which she laboured and strained very heavily. In a hard squall the fore and - main lower topsails were split to ribbons, and the vessel was* kept running under a foresail, fore and main upper topsail, and a mizen lower topsail. The hurricane increased, the seas deluged >. the decks frequently, but the vessel behaved splendidly. The gale increased, and at noon of the k 27th the squalls were of a literally blinding description, the decks were filled to the rail fore and aft, the vessel continuing to labour and strain. * At 4 p.m. the wind and seas continued to increase. The ship, however, did very well under the fore and main upper topsail, foresail, and mizen lower topsail. Oil bags were filled and - slung from the cat heads. At 8 p.m. the hurricane still raged most mercilessly; the squalls were, however, more violent and more frequent. At 11 p.m., unfortunately, the fore and main upper topsails split. The immediate effect of the loss of canvas upon the ship was that she lost some of her way, and she filled fore and aft. However, by the aid ■of a whole new foresail, and the lower mizzen topsail, the ship was kept running, but made terribly bad weather. At midnight there was no abatement of either wind or sea, and the ship strained very much. About 1 a.m. a huge heavy sea bounded on board, just forward of the mizzen rigging, on the port side, which struck the port side and front of the cabin house, and stove it in, gutted out the steward's cabin of all its contents, and three sides of his apartment; happily he was not in his room at the time, or he would have been killed, or at least, very seriously injured. The store-rooms, bread-locker, pantry, dining-room, and chief officer's room, were all filled. The first mate found himself in water up .to his neck. The same sea destroyed .-. all - perishable stores, filled ' the : after-compartment and lazarette to the extent of 13 feet of water, and destroyed all stores stored therein. It also smashed and damaged all Captain Robinson's and his wife's effects, and saturated all the beds and' bedding, besides damaging everything in the after cabin. Scarcely had -the' position of affairs been realised, when a tremendous sea crashed over the starboard rail amidships, broke on the main hatch and stove it in (but fortunately the tarpaulin was not washed adrift), to which attention had immediately to be given, for had another sea followed, and the water got below, nothing would have saved the ship. However, with commendable promptitude, and with great difficulty, the hatch was covered with a new' ; topgallantsail and chain platform lashed and secured to the ring bolts. The same sea struck the hold ventilator, and took it clean away from the deck lashings. The carpenter's door was smashed, and the boats shifted on the forward deck-house. The vessel received many severe shocks, but she remained stanch and strong, for no water was found in the well. The crewin fact all hands—had a most anxious time, and had to be kept continually baling and freeing the "cabin from water. At 4 ' a.m. on May 27 the gale commenced to moderate and the sea decreased. At 8 a.m. got more canvas on the ship, for new fore and main upper and lower topsails were bent and set. By noon on the 28th • fine weather had j returned, but the hurricane had left a nasty sea behind. When the chief officer, being the only man on deck (except the captain), all hands.being aloft, was clewing up the remnants of the main lower topsail, he was washed along the deck by a sea and hurt his leg. However, the injuries received were not sufficiently severe to incapacitate him from his work, although the effects have not by any means left 1 him yet. > The barometer at the height of the hurricane showed 29"20.
