The Union Steamship Company’s steamer Rotorua left Port Chalmers at 7.40 pm on the Ist insfc., and reached Lyttelton ac 1.40 pm on the 2nd ; left again at 9.30 pm the same day, and arrived alongside the Queen’s \Vh *rf at 3 pm on the 3rd, having experienced fine weather with moderate southerly winds throughout the trip. She sailed again during the evening for East Coast ports and Auckland. Tho Union Steamship Company’s steamer Taiaroa left Nelson at 4 pm on Saturday ; ecperienced fine weather, *and arrived in port early yesterday morning. She sailed during the afternoon for New Plymouth and Auckland with the outward San Francisco mail. The Union Company’s steamer Waihi returned from Blenheim on Saturday night, and leaves again for the same port to-day. The Union Steamship Company’s steamer Tarawera will arrive from Sydney, Auckland, and East Coast ports to-day, and leaves for Southern ports and Melbourne during tho afternoon. The steamers Wallace from Nelson, Hnia from Wanganui, and Jane Douglas from Foxton, were expected to arrive yesterday, but they diil not put in an appearance, owing no doubt to the heavy southerly gale which set in early yesterday morning. If the weather moderates, they will no doubt arrive this morning, in which case they return to their respective p rts during the clay. The steamers Wakatu for Kaikoura and Lyttelton, and Tui for Wanganui, did not get away yesterday owing to the rough weather prevailing. They are expected to sail to-day. The Union Steamship Company’s steamer Wanaka left Lyttelton at 9.20 pm on Saturday ; experienced fresh southerly winds till shortly after sunrise yesterday, and then a strong S.E. gale with heavy rain till arrival at 2 pm. She leaves for Picton and Nelson today. The cutter Margaret Scollay, which was lying near the Te Aro foreshore, dragged her anchor during yesterday’s gale, and drifted past the Railway Wharf, where her anchor evidently found good holding ground, no damage being done.

ACCIDENT TO THE CABARFFIDH. The barque Cabarfeidh, which left Wellington for Greymouth on Saturday morning, had a narrow escape from being wrecked on Barrett’s Reef. It appears that on nearing the reef the wind fell away, and she drifted on to one of the outer rocks, where she remained fast until she was towed off by the steamer Rotorua about 1.30 p.m. Fortunately there was no sea, there being a alight southerly swell. The accident also occurred almost at dead low water, so that the vessel had an excellent chance of getting off. Captain Anderson, of rua, observed that the barque was in difficulties while he was nearly five miles away, and gave orders to prepare the neecssary gear for rendering assistance, and no delay was thereexperienced in making fast to her. The barque came of! without difficulty, and was towed round to the Patent Slip, where she was to have been taken up and examined. It is believed that the damage ( sustained will prove very slight. The occurrence will be made the subject of an inquiry before the Collector of Customs.
