ARRIVAL OF THE COUNTESS OP KIINTORE. The good ship Countess of Kintore arrived on Wednesday, July 15, from London, after a fair passage, bringiug a number of passengers and a full general cargo. This vesssl has already established her reputation as being a comfortable packet vessel, and she has also made some very good voyages to this port. A number of passengers, bath saloon and intermediate, embarked in this favourite ship, and we understand they thoroughly enjoyed the passage, Captain Braddick exei ting himself in every possible way to promote their comfort. Captain Braddick with his usual courtesy •upplied ua with the following report of hia tnp:-Suleil from London Docks on 28th March for Auckland, and laid four days off Gravesend. The pilot left tho ship at Dartmouth on the 9th April. A heavy gale was experienced on the 13th April m the B»y of Biscay, the vessel being hove to for 56 hours. This gale that the ship met with was the same as already reported in which bo m»ny vessels were dismasted in tho English Channel. Crossed the line on the 8th of May in 23 deg. W. longitude. Sighted Martin Vas Rocks on 18th May ; rounded the Cape on the 4th June, sighted the Grecian, of Greenock, homeward bound, on 5th May, and French barque PH. DC from Marseilles to Mauritius on the 18th May, 48 days out. On July the 12th made the Three Kings, 1)3 days from laud to land. The Countess of Kintoro experienced fino weather until passing Capo Leu win on the 26«h June, and thence heavy gales from N K. and N. with dirty weather and high seas weic encountered. On the 17th June, while up furlmpj the miz ■n-top-gallantsiul, H Green A. I*., foil from the yard on to the poop rail, a distauce of G8 feet ; he appeared very httl > hurt, no bones being bioken. Captain Braddick informs us that the vessel when in London on this last

occasion was docked and t xaiiunc 1, and the report of tue Marine Surveyors showed that she was as staunch as ever. The Couutesa has been enabled to load here for a iotuin trip to London, an I will sail at an eurl> date.

ARRIVAL OF THE MLLTlADES. The MiltiadeB, from London, armed on Thursday, July 23, after a splendid p<isaa*;o of 77 days from land to land. Wo a report of the passage: — The Miltiadea left Graveaend on May 2nd, ab 11 |> m , •with 470 immigrants and a number ot saloon passengers on board. Start Point was passed oa Monday, May 4, at midnight. The Ecjuator wag crossed on May 24, at midnight, and the latitude of the Capo of Good Mope on Juno 23rd ; aighted Tasrnauia on July 13th, and fcho Three JKings on the 20th, and was off the Great on tho following day, it bearing S.S. E., thus making a splendid p,iS3.i»o of 77 days from land to laud. Strong southerly aud S.W. winds, accompanied with very heivy seas, were encountered from the Capo until sighting land, the vessel shipping much water, and at times labouring heavily. During tho height of ono of the heaviest ot the gales, a sea broke on board and dui much damage. Two persona— ono a sailor, the other one of the immigrants— both had their legs broken, minor injuries being sustain* d by ethers of those on deck at tho time. The Miltiades also reports meeting with exceedingly heavy weather, accompanied with terrific squalls affci r passing the Three Kings until arrival. Spoke the Mary Ryan, schooner, 40 days out, bound from Lisbon to Rio Grande, and on Sunday the b»tque John Knox, bound to Sydney Dr. Harding is tho Surgeon supeiintendent of the vessel, and we understand that both he and Captain Perutt have earned the regard of the passengers under their attention, by administering in every possible way towards making them comfortable on the yoyage. Dr. Harding reports that 10 deaths occurred on the passage, nine of them bein« children under four years of age, and the other a raau about 70 years eld ; there were also seven births The Mutinies will come alongside the wharf to discharge on August 3.

THE GROUNDlJNfi OF THE MILTIADES. The p.s. Lady 1'owen arrived oa Friday from Mahurangi and the l[ofc Hnringa.and tho following it the account obtained from Captain Kasper of an accidont which occurred to the ship MilHadea whilst coming into port on Thursday afternoon :— On that d.iy whilst the Lady Bowen was on her passage hence to Mahnranci and the Hot Spring, on rounding the North Heads he saw the ship tinder weigh beating up. Ho observed her when off Gallo Po>nt miss stiya. Two guns wero fired from tho ves-ielj and then a rocket was sent up. 'I he steamer was boarded by an officer of the Miltiades, who ask p d Captain Kasper to render assistance iD getting her o(T, who then placed the steamer alongside tho ship, when Captain Perrott asked him if fie could yive her a tow astern. The master of the nkamer got the ship's hawser on t-oard, cind attempted to tow her off, but could not move her. The Lady Bowen thon returned a.nd got the ship's kedge anchor and ran ifc out, and afirr wards got hold of her tow line again. The steamer got in hue with the stern and towed, the warp of the kedge anchor being hove in by the steam winch on board the ship After a short internal tho

Milttades was sucjcasfuily {,ot ott, and the steamer resumt cl her journey. It la said 0 iptaiii Casey has ad\ aucud a claim for £1U,O()O against the owners of the vesael for salvage.

WRECK OF HIE CUITER CATHERINE BOIIRODAILE. Tho cutter Catherine 13orrodaile has been wrecked on her passage to Auckland. It appears that tho vessel wont ashore o!f Mullet Point, just abreast oF the Kawau, outside of Matakana, on Wednesday afternoon, July 22, about 2 o'clock. A strong; gale of wind was blowiug fiom the sonthw<itd at tho time, and the cutter, missing stays, went mi shore. The crew took to the boat, and were taken on bo-ml the Lady Bo wen shortly aftei the accident took place, and bron ;ht up to town Tne cutter, after striking, is reported to lnvc knocked a hole in her b >ttom and immediately sank.

Tnn HoKi'LCLr — Wo undcist.iml that tho tine J-iawaiian clipper barque Eiokulule, 3G1 tons lcigistei, which arrived a ahort time ago consigned to Mesar3. Henderson and Macf.u lane, witb a cargo of timber from Puget Sound, has been purchased, ship ami cargo, by Messrs. Holdship and Co , of this city, and Mr. VV. J. Mcllroy, of Canterbury. The price has not transpired, aa terms are private. This vessel was well and f.noiahly known as the Comet, owned by J. 0. Merrill, K>q., of San Francisco, between which poit and Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, she tradpd, carrying for mauy yens valuable cargoes of merchandise nnrt passengers. Some idea of the favor in which this vessel was held by the travelling public may ro githered by an inspection of hei commodious saloon with state-room and oibinson deck capable of accommodating 50 lirst-class passengers, and lilted up m tho most elegant manner with etery comfoit necessary for the enjoyment of passengers travelling in warm latitudes. Her pretence in these waters is owing to her late ownei a being compelled to withdraw her from the line of sailing packet a in that trade in consequence of the comp ti- j tion established by the present lino of American and New Zetland mail steamers calling at Honolulu. We are informed that it i't the intention of her new owncis to employ this latest addition to our colonial meicautile marine in the inter-colonial Uade. Captain Cooper, who is well known in connection with the ship Peicy, has been appointed to the command of the barquo Hokulele. U.M S. Cii-VLLFA'GFR. — We understand that H.M.S. Challenger, which left Sydney on a surveying cruiae, and whose arrival .if; Wellington we have already reported, Icfb the latter port on tho Gth iuat., for the Fijii, with the intention of calling in here if ehe met with foul weather off the coast ; bub if favourable wiuds prevailed she vrould pioceed on h' r passage to LBVuka Oil the voyage as far a3 the North Cape tho Challenger was to take soundings. Soundings will be taken and submarine scientific researches made throughout tho voyage to Levuka. H.M.S. Dido, aud H M.S Kosario were lying at Levuka when the Belle Brandon schooner left. The flags of the shipping in port were hoisted half mast on Saturday, July 11 as a inaik of lespect to the memoiy of Mr. Henry W. Bl.ickall, late chief ofHcer of the baique Pet, who died on Friday ni^ht at tho Proviucial Hospital, from injunus received on board that vessel, the pamculars of which have been already narrated. Captain Marks, lately in cnmmind of his Excellency the Governor's yacht, the Blanche, has arrived from Wellington, and will piocced to Tauranga at tbe eailiest opportunity to enter upon hia duties as chief pilot and harbour-master of that port. The cutter Dawn has, we understand, been purchased l.y the Kaglau and W.ukato Native Company, and will, until fuitiier notice, be placed in tlio tiade between the Matuiliau aud Port Waikato, llaglan, aud Tardiiaki. The siiip Loch Awe has discharged her inward car^o of 1,1.50 tons < f geneial cargo, and has been ballasted with GUO tons, in the ahort space of 15 wot king days. She sailed on July 27, for San Francisco. Th j whaling barque Emnn C. Joues, belonging to New Brunswick, U S , was lying in the port of Samoa, a full shio, on the lGth iust , the oil having been obtained during her present cruise in Australian waters H M.S. Dido arrived at Levuka on the 4th instant, tiom Sydney. Mr. J. W. Waller has purchased the fine schooner Onwaid iroin Messrs. Hanson and Hairiaon for the sum of £SOC. The schooner Ivanhoo arrived at 3 o'clock on Friday morning, the 25th July, from Tonga and Saaioa She left Samoa on 16th June, and I'onga 7th July. On lOt,h July spjke the whaling barquo Hunter, last from Bay of Island", with 200 barrels of sperm oil on board. The whalers Callao, Cor il, aud Abr.ib nn Barker weie at i ons»atabu when the schooner left. The I nitel States barquo William Gifford arrived in port on Frid.iy afternoon, July 24 She is onginally fiotn New York, and called in to Dunedin, having eucouutced an extremely boisterous passage to that port. The vessel is consigned to Messrs. J. M. Daigavillo and Co. She has beui purchased by Captain Bowman of Dunediu. We understand that tho Mngpllan Cloud, w.-Il known in tho inter-provincial trade, has been chartered by Mr. W. D. Hood, of Lyt- j telton, fur tight months in the Chatham I Inland trade. Mr. Hood, it will bo luiuem- ! bored, has previous'y charteied this vessel, and also the Ocean Wave, in the sjino nude. We are informed tint Mr. D. Gouk has obtained the contract for raising tho p.s. Pateison, sunk in the Waitara nvir lie procecde 1 on 1 hurbday morning, by the 8 s. GoAhead, to the scene of the wreck. Captain fc-llid proceeded with Mr. Gjuk by the steamer, he having joined with that gentleman in the contract for lifriuq the steamer. 'i he contract is a "rather large one, but th'Jie is very little doubt that, with the firstclass appliances in the possession of Captain k.lli<?, the undertaking will prove nob only satisfactory to tho owners of the steamer, but also remunetative to the contractors. The enterpuse shown by Captain Ellis in this affair merits success. Captain Mlis and Mi . Gouk intend taking with them a Oin. centrifugal pump, for the purpose of drilling the steamer of water, together with five Ciliforitun pumps, and all the oth»r neces- ] sary appliances. It is anticipated that little dilHculty will be experienced in raising the veasel.
