The steamship Queen, from the No-th, reached ifOYt Chalmers on Saturday afternoon. She left Auckland at 2 p.m. on the 7th ; was compelled to pass napier without calling, in consequence of the heavy weather prevailing; but at Wellington the btorm J >ird was chartered to return, and was expected to be hack "in time to carry out the supplementary mail service, m connection with the Airedale, whirh was expected to leave Wellington on Friday, f.. r Lvttelton and Otago. During the fmt part of the uassafierhe Queen experienced .heavy head weather, "but soifJi of Well ing-ton had the north-easterly breeze whicii has lately prevailed. From Lvttelton she brought no English mail, the mail being k-ft for the Airedale, now hourly expected. The Wonca Wongn. left Lvttelton as the Queen was steaming out. On this occasion the Queen brings a considerable number ot passengers, among the nnmber Capt. Harper of the AYbite Swan, Capt, M'LelJan of the Tvra and some officers connected with H. M.'s troops in the colony. In addition to her general ear«o, she had a tew head of cattle from Wellington. On her passase up, an unfortunate accident occurred, hv which the chief officer, Mr. M'Dougnll, t&ls sumewhat seriously injured. As the vessel was entering Napier the signal gun which was being fired, burst scattering the laments over the ship, inflicting a severe wound on Mr. M'Dougall, and narrowly escaping others of the ship's crew. The man who fired the gun, it U said escaped uninjured, but one fragment penetrated the deck and knocked down a bullock. Another fm»ment went through the boarding of a cal>in in which one of the ship's company was dressing, but fortunately missed him. The piece which injured the injured the mate struck him in the shoulder, injuring his shoulder and collar bone.

Tue Rebecca, Dunedin, and Aquila. which had all been detained, after making: a start on'their passasre, by the late N.E. gale, sailed on Sunday morning- with a slight favoring breeze. -They were bound for Auckland, with passengers intending to proceed to Coromandel.

A party of gentlemen from Port Chalmers visited the victory on Saturday, and wore much interested by the satisfactory progress of the works for her removal. -Mr.'Scott is actively superintendm" operations, and, with the first favorable tides, renewed efforts will be made, to turn her head seawards, ns a preparatory str-p to her ultimate removal. ' The Electric Telegraph is understood to be open for business to-morrow (Monday). Since Friday operatives have been at work in the offices at Duiiediii and Port Chalmers, and on Saturday, after being- duly opened by the Deputy-Superintendent, numc-roifs messages were passed, to test the working of the wires and instruments. They are ibumi to work most satisfactorily, and evc-rythinar is now in order for the public taking advantage of this great acquisition to our local means of communication.

A sailing match takes place at Port Chalmers, on Monday, in which some interest is taken locally. The particulars are advertised.

The Planet, from the Taieri, arrived on Sunday afternoon ; reports nothing in sight, south of Cape Sanders. It is probable that neither the Melbourne steamers nor the Airedale will be in till "Monday forenoon. J
