She left there on the 22nd, with light S.E. winds, and rounded the East Cape on the 25th. light north-east winds principally were experienced down the coast till rounding Cape Palhser on the 30th ult, where a heavy gale from N. to N.W. was encountered, which blew the bng as far southward as Kaikoura The gale lasted till Thursday, and from then till arrival in port as above-stated had light winds. The Jane was berthed at the whirf on Saturday to discharge, ' . , , The steamer Kiwi, which we reported having sailed for Napier and the Coast on hriday evening, xeached Blackhead early yesterday morning. The cattle she took up and a large quantity of cargo were all landed in the course of the day. • , The new schooner Poneke is now completely rigged, and looks very smart and trim throughout. She is a topsail schooner, and carries a good spread of canvas. Captain Ellis has superintended the rigging, which has apparently been carried out in a workman.ike style The schooner will bo ready for sea this week. The s.s. Jane Douglas arrived from her Foxton and Eangitikei trip at 10.30 o’clock last night. She left Wellington on Monday, and arrived at Foxton on Tuesday morning ; discharged cargo and proceeded to Eangitikei next day, but owing to the bad state of the bar she was unable to get out till Friday. Arrived off Eangitikei bar that morning, but a heavy westerly sea was breaking over it, and she had to go back to Foxton, remaining there till Saturday morning, when she left again for Eangitikei, and arrived at the wharf there on Friday. Discharged cargo, and shipped 28 bales wool, and left at 11.30 am. yesterday, arriving here as above stated. Experienced fine weather throughout. The Jane Douglas will sail for Foxton this evening at 7 o’clock. The barque which arrived off the Heads on Monday last but which was blown off the same day by the heavy gale, got into port on Saturday evening, and proved to bo the Olivia Davis from Newcastle, with a cargo of coal consigned to Captain Williams. Pilot Holmes brought her in, and when he gave orders to let go the anchor, owing to the chain getting jammed in the hawsepipe through the stuffing which was placed there to prevent the water from coming in not being removed.it would not go down. The other anchor was then lot go, but a aimi'ar accident also prevented it from going out. Finding himself in rather a peculiar difficulty, the vessel having some considerable way on and no means on board to bring her up Pilot Holmes had, as the only resource left, to steer the barque for the wharf; and this he did very cleverly, bringing her alongside the outer T far better than many steamers are brought. She lay there yesterday, but will be shifted further in to day to discharge. The Olivia Davis Is an American built vessel, having been constructed at Boston for the carriage of lumber. Her original rig was that of a barquentine. but being rose upon several feet it was altered to that of a barque- She then went to China and Java, took a cargo to Melbourne, where on arrival she was sold, and baa since then been employed in the coal trade between Newcastle and that port. Her master, H. Patching, is an old acquaintance with Wellington, having been down here with the old Omeg*, which is now the Government store hulk in this port. The following is the report of the barque: Left Newcastle on the 2oth March. Had fresh N.N. E. winds across, and sighted Cape Egmont on the 31st. Had fresh N.W. winds entering the Strait, which gradually increased to a heavy gale frorr the N W Terawiti was rounded on the Ist at 8 a.m. and got off Peucarrow Head an hour afterwards, bui the gale drove her south some 70 miles and lasted til Thursday without abatement, when It moderated and was followed by light winds and calms till arriva as before-stated.
