! The schooner Onward arrived yesterday morning from Gisborne with a cargo of wool for the ship Famenoth. The schooner left Gisborne on the Bth instant, and encountered heavy weather along the coast, so that she ran into Hicka Bay for shelter.

The barque left Port Chalmers on the 6th inst., with a strong breeze from the S.W., which however only lasted a few hours, when it got round to N. and by E. until off Cook's Straits.
