The Gleaner, cleared out for Callao yesterday. The Wonga Wonga, Captain Kennedy, arrived on Thursday morning from Ahuriri. Upon her passage to Napier she was unable to touch a* Castin Point in con-s'-fpivnce of the heavy gale blowing at the lime, .she remained lnying-to for five hours outside, and seeing no chance of the weather moderuling, she proceeded on’her I

passage to Ahuriri, and arrived about half-past 3 p.m. the following day ; when, the pilot not being able to board the steamer in consequence of the heavy sea running, Captain Kennedy took her in himself. She left Napier on her return trip on Sunday morning last at 10 o’clock—reached Black Head, or, as if is now called, Port Russell, at 3 p.m.—it then came on to blow hard from the westward, with a heavy sea running, and the Captain, on the following morning, put back to Cape Turnagain, where she anchored to repair damages sustained during the previous night. She Icfta-ain at 6 p.m.. still blowing hard from the westward, and reached Castle Point at 3 p.m. the following day, when no time was lost in shipping the wool ; and at half-past 12 on Wednesday last she resumed her voyage towards Wellington, it still blowing a gale from the westward, and arrived alongside Swinbourne’s Wharf at half-past 9am. on Thursday morning. We understand that, on leaving Cape Turnagain, she touched the sand-bank slightly, but received no damage whatever beyond a slight shake. The Shepherdess sailed from Napier on Friday, the Ist inst., for Wellington direct, but she would in all probability seek shelter from the heavy weather experienced the last few days. The Sea Serpent was to leave last Wednesday for Wellington uirect.
