The weather continued exceedingly inclement yesterday, with no sign of a favourable change. A heavy N.E. gale blew in all day, and was attended by almost incessant rain and severe squalls. Quite a sea ran at the Port, and according to the reports of the vessels which arrived, the sua outside was very heavy. This no doubt is the equinoctial blow. It is rather late this year—for, as a rule, what is termed equinoctial weather comes on a fortnight or so before the 6Uiv touches the line. It is likely to prevail for two or three days longer, and then the commencement of the unrivalled New Zealand spring weather may be looked for.

The shipping business of yesterday was confined to the arrival of the schooner Jessie Henderson and tj,e brig Pakeha. Nothing sailed, the weather-bound vessels held to their moorings, among.-t them being the1 steamers Maori and Beautiful Star. Either of these steamers might have lelt the Port, the sea was not heavy enough to have prevented them, but an inducement was lacking, their ports of destination, Oamaru and Timaru, being both closed by the heay sea begotten by the sale.

We were glad to observe by the telegraph board that the steamer Wallabi safely arrived at the Bluff at 1 a.m. yesterday. She made a good run up.

Later intelligence furnished to the Provincial Harbour Master by Captain Liddle, Harbour Master of Moeraki, states that the ketch Glimpse was laying on Hampden Beach full of water. Her cargo of railway iron would be saved. We are sincerely sorry for the loss of this handy little vessel, and hope that she is fully insured for the sake of her owners, one of whom, her master, Captain Seoones, is well and favourably known at the Port.

The barque Pet, from Hokianga, put in an appearance at the Heads yesterday morning, and although a nasty sea was running she was promptly boarded by Pilot Moore, sailed up to the Port, and anchored off Carey's Bay. She has made a tolerably fair run from the north, having left Hokianga on the 12th inst., had a leading moderate easterly wind with nearly incessant pain on the West Coast, and reached the entrance of Cook Strait on the 17th. She was three days clearing the Strait, wind still easterly and wet, and then it hauled to the southward and held there until she was abreast of Banks Peninsula oq Tuesday morning, when the N.E. gale caught her and fetched her into p jrt, as above-stated. Ti.e I'et briugs a full cargo of bulk timber consigned to Messrs Guthrie and Larnach. Captain Rapp reports a very heavy sea on the coast.

Another vessel from the Northern Province, the schooner Jessie Henderson, arrived at the Port yesterday, and after receiving on board the Upper Harbour Pilot, proceeded to Dunedin on the flood tide. She left Auckland on the 14th inst., with a westerly wind, which gradually backed round to the northward as she made southerly, and blowing a fresh gale, settled into N.E., when she breasted Banks Peninsula on Tuesday morning, and brought her into Port yesterday.. A very heavy sea was running outBide. The Jessie Henderson is loaded with kauri timber, consigned to Messrs Hunter and Co.

The ship Hindostan is still at anchor off the Kaik. Also, a schooner, supposed to be the Strathnaver, weather-bound, from Oamaru.

We omitted to state, in yesterday's issue, that the Btearaer Lady Bird only lay at anchor at the Heads until daylight on Tuesday morning, and then put to sea. She must have experienced a bitter passage to Lyttelton.

Removing the ship Haddon Hall from the powder ground to a berth at the Railway Pier has been unavoidably postponed by the weather. ■ The repairs to the steamer Comerang, below the water line, having been completed, she was undocked }ast evening, and hauled alongside the old wharf for the night.

The s.s. Lady of the Lake took her departure for the Holyneux late last night. Our latest advices from the Port state that the sea outside was going down. Messrs Brenchley and Co., of Port Chalmers, have had a flattering testimonial presented to them by the masters of several ships which are now or were in harbour, for the excellence of the ballast and the promptness with which it was supplied by them.
