STORMY WEATHER.
The weather yesterday was very wintry, heavy rain falling during the afternoon and throughout the night almost without inter,mission. The wind, which was blowing light from the north-east during the early part of the day, went to the eastward in the afternoon, and increased to a strong breeze, raising a heavy sea in the harbour. Towards the evening the wind shifted- into about east-south-east, blowing a moderate gale, which continued until an early hour this morning. •' ' ' '
The Northern Company's steamer Ngapilhi left Whangarpi for Auckland yesterday afternoon with a light north-east wind, but shortly after clearing Whangarei Heads' the wind suddenly shifted into the oast-south-east, blowing almost a gale, with a very heavy sea. Several . seas broke on board during, the passage, but no damage was done to either the steamer or the deck fittings, and Auckland was readied shortly after eleven o'clock last night.
