Tko B.s. Stonm>ird left Lyttelton at G p.m. on Tuesday. Met with strong W. wind, 'which, oa, turning Banks Peninsula, veered round to S.W-. At 4 a.m. on "Wednesday it changed to S.S.E, gale with heavy eqnaUs. At 1.30 was within 15 miles of Timaru. but the g*lo was o heavy, sho naj obliged to bear up for Aharon,. Went in, arriving at 7 p.m. Left .again at 10 p.m. on Thursday, arriving at Xlmaru at H.3j a.m. on Friday. Left at

10.30 a in, arriving at Dunedin -wharf at 1.20 this morning, having experienced south and south-west winds and heavy south-east tea from Timaru. She brings a largo cargo and a number of passengers. Tho P.N.Z. and A.R.M. Cd.'h us. Lord A iihly returned from her Southland trip at 0.30 a.m. yesterday, and berthed alongside the coal liarque Dayßpring. The Aahley left Port Chalmers on the morning of the 24th, and encountered terrific southerly winds on her passage to the Bluff. After discharging her Panama mails, she left there at 4 30 p.m. on Thursday, and had fine weather with heavy pea to arrival. She sails to-day for Northern Porta. Tho Nathan Tronpe are passengers by tho Ashley. Two «mall vessel*, supposed to be the James Paxtm, hence to itiverton, and the Danzig, for Invercargill, were oba'-rved by the Lord Ashley at anchor under leo of the Nuggets. The repairs to the hulk California are expected to to completed to-day, when she will be taken out of dock.

The schooner "Walrns was hauled in to the formed portion of the Graving Dock yesterday, for tho purpose of discharging her timber, to be used for sheet-piling. The steamers Bob Roy and C'omerang sailed at midnight on Thursday for Northern ports. The p.B. Wallace sailed on her usual Oamaru trip yesterday afternoon. The schooner Alice, from KakanuJ, arrived in Port on Thursday evening. Dur ng the lato gales, she sought bhelter in Moeraki roadstead.

The ketch Lloyd's Herald left Catlin's Rivi-r, bound to Oamaru, on Monday last, and put in at Otngo Heads on Tuesday mornintr, remained there till Thursday morning, when she Bailed for Oamaru, arriving there at 1 p.m. ; discharged one boat load of timber, when a hpavy S. E. sea set in, and Hho parted her chain ; stood out to sea and has come on here for another anchor and chain ; when that k obtained, she will re tnrn to Oamaru to discharge her cargo, which consists of 33,000 feet of sawn timber. In consequence of the state of the tide, the s.s. Keera will leave the Pelichet Bay Jetty at 11.30 this morning punctually, »nd proceed direct to the Head*. ACCIIJBNT TO TTIB fi.B. TASMANIA.—What might have been a very seriouH accident, but which providentially endod without material damage to ship, cargo, or passengers, happened to the b.b. Tasmania, during the pleasure excursion on Monday last. Almost immediately after leaving George Town wharf—tho captain's attention being diverted for a moment or two, looking for a passenger who had missed the steamer and was coming in a boat—a strong current caught the vessel, and imperceptibly altered her conrso. That waa sufficient, however, to cause considerable alarm. The vessel was heading on to the Garra rock ; the captain instantly saw tho danger, and as quickly gave the signal " reverse engines"—the order was obeyed, and the steamer immediately w< nt astern. This promptitude was not sufficient, however, to prevent her touching the reef. Several, ladies fainted, and children began to cry, and for a moment fear was depicted on many a manly countenance. All were, however, reassured by the captain, who proclaimed " She's right " In a few moments, occupied in turning tho Bteamer, the order "full speed ahead" -was given, and all fear was at an end, and each heart was gladdened with the thought of " Homo, sweet home." So light had been the shock, that no danger was anticipated. After the lapse of about h&lf-an-hour, however (it being then about four o'clock), it was discovered that there was a considerable body of water in the fore part of the ship. On sounding, it was found to be about four feet deep; tho pumps were immediately set going, but they wore not sufficient to keep tho water under; volunteers from the paß3^ ngere spcedly Bet to work, and not only relieved the sailors at the pump«, but by -reans of rop -s and buckets, and afterwards with tackling, to which were attached the immense iron buckets used for carrying coal, they succeeded in lessening tho do, th of water considerably. No relaxation, however, could be enjoyed ; tho water came in bo fast that notwithstanding the Captain endeavoured to stop the hole by hauling a tarEaulin under tho bottom of the vessel, all ands were kept at tho pumps and buckets till the vessel reached the wharf, aboutßp.m., the decka during that timebeingdeluged with water. Fortunately the vessel was built in water-tight compartments, the water was therefore confined to tho fore hold, aud there being no cargo stowed in that part, no damage was done. Immediately on the passengers being landed tho vessel was " put on the hard," and at low tide it was found that a very small bole had been made in her bottom, which was at once repaired, and yesterday morning the steamer was again a!o: gside tho wharf discharging her cargo from Melbourne, and we have not heard that a single package was wet. Too much praiae cannot be given to those who so energetically aud so good humouredly laboured for four hours for the welfare of those on board. It was tho general opinion that without their assistance tho Bttsainer would not hive reached Launceston that night.—L. Times, Nov. 11th.
