The Queen of the South, from Foxton, and the Mana, from the Marlborough Sounds, arrieed be* twee a 8 and 9 last evening, both steamers reporting very dirty weather in the Strait, with a high sea. The force of the gale can be judged from the fact that the Queen of the South was observed from Beaoou Hill signal station at 6.30 p.m. and was not berthed at the Queen's Wharf until half-past 8. There was no sign of the Herald from Lyttelton uu to au early hour this morning. She is now over 83 hours out, and is probably sheltering under Cape Campbell from the fierce north-westerly gale which was raging In the Strait lait night. Nothing was seen at daybreak yesterday by the Beacon Hill signalman of the vessel which was burning blue lights oil the Heads the previous evening, She has probably been blown away to the southward by the severity of the north-westerly hurricane. , . .. , The Tyser liner Star of New Zealand is due at Auckland to-day, from London via Melbourne and Sydney. After discharging 2500 tons of cargo at the northern port, she leaves for Wellington via Gisborne and Napier. _ , The ICotiti, a new steamer built by Mr R. Logan, of Auckland, to run from that port to Wade and Matakana, was taken for a trial spin on Thursday last, a speed of between eight and nine knots per hour being obtained. The otfloial trial takes place this week. _ : The cutter Wanderer, which was driven ashore near Point Marsden by a furious north-west gale last week, is expected to become a total wreck. Tbe American barque Evie Reed was ready to sail for New York on Saturday last. Her cargo of kauri gum is valued at £45,000, The barque Astorion, 609 tons, wbloh arrived at Nelson on Monday, left London on January 22nd thus completing the voyage in 120 days. Bad weather experienced on the trip down from Auckland prevented the Omapere working any of the bays. A heavy north-easterly gale, with high seas, compelled Captain Adams to seek shelter under Mercury Island (or eight hours. Mr Denny, late assistant purser on the Tarawera, has succeeded Mr Qrimwood on the Omapere, the latter gentleman having been appointed to the Kia Ora, the company's latest purooaae. , t Tne Talune arrived from Melbourne via Hobart and South yesterday morning, and is timed to sail lor Sydney direct at 4 o'clock this afternoon. She has on board 870 tons cargo for discharge here, and 631 for Syduey. Tho Whito Star Unee Gothic leaves Lyttelton for London to-morrow. She has a full cargo and a fairly large passenger list. The Rotomahana, leaving for Lyttelton at 5 o’clock this evening, will bo tho last steamor to ostoh the Gothic before she leaves port. .... . . The Uressy class is tho designation of font new cruisers ordered by the Admiralty. The new oralwjrs are to ba built in private yards, and they mark a distinct step m advance in warship design. They dlitor from the Diadem and Ariadne classes In having powerful side armour for the greater pare of their length, and tbis, combined with a higher speed and the heavier armament of the Powerful class, almost entitles them to class as battleships. while speedy enough for cruisers. They would prove a most acceptable addition to any lino of battle. Tho price exclusive of armour ran into £500,000 each. The launch of the Goliath, at Chatham, adds a valuable lino of battleship to the navy. She is one of six-viz., the Canopus, Ocean, Albion, Glory and Vengeance. She has a displacement of 13,000 tons, and her heavy armament comprises four 12in 4G-ton breooh-loadmg wire guns. -
