[From our Correspondent at Waingaroa.] " The Sarah Berry, a small coaster lett Nelson on the 20th of June, with fifteen passengers for Auckland, via Manukau. On arriving off the Mauukau bar, it was found impracticable to enter the harbour, in consequence of the rough state of the channel, occasioned by the tempestuous weather, from south- west during the proceeding week. Not being able to enter Manukau, she ran back to Waingaroa, which river she might|have entered with perfect safety, if any one on board had known the passage.' Unfortunately, however, the South-spit was mistaken for the bar, and this occasioned the loss of the vessel. The Rev. J. Wallis, of the Wesleyan Mission, who resides at Waingaroa, hastened to tne assistance of the sufferers on board, and with the help of the Natives, succeededin gettingthe passengers and crew onshore; but the vessel was necessarily abandoned to its fate, in consequence of the darkness of the night, and the heavy surf upon the beach. During the night, the vessel floated into the river on her beam ends, and though much injured, it is thought she may be repaired. Much praise is due to the Natives of Waingaroa, for their prompt and persevering efforts to ■ save both the vessel and the lives on board." The Sir John Franklin reports that the Elizabeth, American whaler, Capt. Gifford, which left this port on the 28th January last, has been burnt at Labouka, Fegee Islands. She had on board 1,000 barrels oil at the time, a large portion of which has b.een saved, by scuttling and sinking the vessel before she was •wholly consumed. Suspicion was entertained that she had been set on fire by an incendiary, but nothing had transpired to confiim such surmise. [In one of our recent numbers, we inserted an extract from the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette, respecting the outfit of a slave steamer, called the Caciqui; by the following it appears that her cruize has happily been a short one.— Ed. N. Z.] Capture of a Slave Steamer.— The following is an extract of a letter from her Majesty's ship Penelope, dated St Helena, Oct. 13, published in the "Devonport Telegraph:"—" We left on the 19th September for the coast, and on the 26th a sail was reported ahead, which -was soon made out to "be a steamer, and, knowing that none of ours were there, supposed her to be the French Commodore (as that was the only one we knew of.) We were getting ready to salute, but as we headed her, we could not understand why she did not shew her colours. We fired a blank gun, when we saw her hoist a Biazilian ensign, and throw a parcel overboard, and we passed papers floating. We stopped and sent the cutter to board her, and when the boat left the ship, we saw another parcel of papers with a weight attached to it thrown over the stern ; and, as soon as the lieutenant boarded, he hailed, "No papers, and completely fitted Jor the slave trade." She proved to be the Caciqui from Campos, in the Brazils, Rnd cruizing off the coast fora cargo of slaves. She had been to the mouth of the Cenjjo, but, as she could not get the -whole of them, she was obliged to leave, and intended to return iti a day, when there were to have been 1,530 slaves ready for her ; but as we pinned her, we sived her the trouble. The Caciqui, is au American built vessel, with a high pressure engine on the upper deck, of forty horse power ; all the crew live on the upper deck also, so that her full length is given to the slave deck. Her crew consis ed of about twenty six men and two stokers (Americans). We Sent one lieutenant, two midshipmen, ami two engineers, and twenty-eight men to bring her to this place for condemnation ! and on the morning of the 30th, at daylight, a sail was reported, which proved to be a brigantine, called the Ltigena, with no papers, with a hlave deck laid. We sent her also to this place, as they are both Vice Admiral Court Cases."
