The S. S. Wonga Wonga, Captain Kennedy, arrived at 4 o'clock on Friday morning from the Ahuriri. She left Wellington on Friday week last, and anchored outside the Ahuriri on Saturday evening at 8 o’clock after a rapid passage of 32 hours. She left the Ahuriri at 8 o’clock on Tuesday evening, and was anchored off Castle Point for five hours, but in consequence of the heavy sea running, was unable to land any cargo. On getting under weigh from there, she was struck by a heavy sea, damaging one of the quarter boats. The Salopian schooner sailed from the Ahuriri on Sunday morning last, with the mail on board for this port. Captain Kennedy reports having had very heavy weather during the passage. The Wonga Wonga will leave the wharf for Wanganui at J 2 o'clock Saturday.
