bnt/^ looked fearfully dangerous. The yacht wal "ABecaied, and the men returned b&U&A being heartily cheered on their arriV,, L Meanwhile ths barques Thames, Mone,yijck, Harriet Armitage, and East Lotting! and the^ schooner Mera, in their position were receiving •xtensivev. injuries from their constant grinding ngainst the wharf, arid were eko doing great damage to th"c wharf piles. The Thames being well provided with fenders, and protected also by bales of flax from Messrs Walkers' store, which eased the violence of the bumping considerably, escaped with little actual injury, though Captain Couves, who, with his chief officer, was most pains taking in attending to the safety of his vessel, was heard to say that the straining ■he had undergone the last day or two would take more than a year's wear out of her. The East Lothian and the Harriet Armitage come out badly; but it is a pitiable case with the Moneynick and the Mera. The bulwarks and stanchions of the former are crushed up in a terrible manner, while the chains be longing to her patent reefing apparatus and a large quantity of her ropes have been actually ground up into pieces by being used to secure the fenders. Her dead eyes and lower rigging are also very much damaged, and her upper works generally extensively battered. Up to 12 o'clock the cost of repairs rendered neceauary was roughly estimated at over £400. The Mera was caught in a very unpleasant predicament. She had all her ■tuff taken out of her after hatch and her stern was consequently sticking up very high oUt of the water, and very lively. Although her bulwarks have not suffered so heavily as fchose of the Moneynick, they have sustained considerable bruising. It was feared that her bilge would also suffer, but this we believe has not been the case. We have left; the most important effect of the gale to the last. This is the serious damage done to the wharf. If, as the Clerk of Works reported some months ago, the wharf was unsafe then It most assuredly is in a very dangerous condition now, and it behoves our harbour authorities to take immediate measures to prevent the possibility of a great calamity. Nearly all the piles against which the barques Moneynick, East Lothian, Harriet Armitage, and the Mera have been straining have either been broken through or have been chafed till they are no good at all as ■upports. Most of these are what are called fender piles, and only partially bear the weight of the superstructure, but their destruction removes one of the protections of the wharf against a heavy lateral strain. At one time early this morning when the storm was at its height the barques and ■chooner referred to were absolutely lifting the plankingwith every roll. The damagedoneby this gale alone would be nearly sufficient to pay for one of the projected western Is. The captains of the vessels in our port complain most bitterly and justly of the wretched wharf accommodation afforded them, and there can be no doubt that the fact is very detrimental to the trade and reputation of the port. Now that Captain Mackenzie's motion has been brought forward let us hope that no party feeling, as in the case of the dock, will prevent the work being; done speedily and well. Dp to a late hour this afternoon the wind was still high, but there was nothing else to record of any interest. The ship Waikato, the barque Glimpse, and the schooner Pacific were all observed much nearer to the North Head than they were over night. Owing to the storm very little work has been done on the wharf during the day. The North Shore Ferry Company did not run their usual night boat yesterday, which was the cause of many persons being left in the lurch. This morn ing no boats ran np to twelve o'clock. Several gentlemen were in consequencelate at business. The Golden Crown has also remained at her moorings during the day. From Taurangawe learn that the Southern Cross, Capt. Sellars, started yesterday, but was obliged to put back. At Onehunga the ordinary weather report merely says that a fresh westerly breeze was blowing this morning, and that the bar was clear of break

ON SHORE.

The violence of tbe wind last night was testified this morning in numberless abnormal sights which met the eye of the early worm. In Princes-street the fence between the Muaetim and the Provincial Hotel was to be wen in a horizontal instead of a vertical position, and the change of poature revealed the usual amount of dilapidations in the rear. — Near the Supreme Court house the Star advertising board, which usually stands on three legs, had one of its supports cocked up in the air, and was reclining on nothing at an easy angle.— In Shortland-street a horse and dray were te be seen in difficulties about half-past eight: the driver said the wind had broken the bridle. When a bystander observed that he couldn't see how that was, the drayman indignantly pointed to the bridle, and sure enough it was broken, and the wind was certainly very high.— In Symonds-Btreet and the Newton road fences were prostrated in several places. Taking them in the lump the chimneys seem to have withstood the blast very creditably. We heard of one or two that came to grief, but beyond that in one case the bricks came down the smoke-fine, and spoilt an honest labourer's breakfast. We know of no serious damage being done.

WATER.

(On hearing Mr J. Martin's eloquent Lecture on this subject).

"What heart would scorn to ring of water's praise. Of water useful in a thousand ways; The drink that Nature gives for human kind, To quench the thirst, and bring repose to mind: To keep the heart aright, the temper cool. And turn the feet from error's darkling pooL To banish demons from the downy bed, An-X bless the muse by »portive fancies led, Heaven's universal sparkling gift to man, Tg help him onward to obseive and plan. May we ne'er fail to estimate its worth Among the genial, common tilings of earth ; And thankful feel, that Heaven's best gifts are given Umax da> d free ihe light, the airs oi Heaven. The hills and vales, (he flowers, and fruitful trees; "'* The love of hearts, the freshening mountain breeze ; The purest jojs of eanb, the song bird's glee : Ail Nature's music is for you and me. The rain comes down in soft, descending showers, And gives a fragrance to the blushing flowers; And by the cot in golden light it gleams. And sparkles brightly in expanding streams, And on the l&ke with silver blo< soms rife, And forms prophetic < fa purer life. It bangs in dewdrops en the English rose, And through the heart in mystic courses flows ; Skines on the misty brow of dewy morn, And gleams in spring-time en the bladed corn, And gusiucg from a myriad, mossy springs, Gives silent joy to all cieated things. It serves the cottage on the daisied plain, And cheers the milkman, freshens the Domain, And aids the housewife on the washing day, And by its wells the pilgrim kneels to pray, And dreams of water by the eternal shore, Where fouls thai! drink and suffer thirst no more.
