The Retriever Claims for total loss, upon goods and sheep, shipped in this vessel, at Newcastle, for Bluff Harbour, New Zealand, were made yesterday, at the Office of the New South Wales Marine Insurance Company. The vessel was insured at Hobart Town, and we understand a claim for her loss has been made there. The Retriever sailed from Newcastle for the Bluff Harbour about the 24th of April, and by the Camilla, arrived last week, with dates to July 20th, there are no advices of her arrival at her destination. The Tasmania also reports that the Ketriever had not arrived on the 16th of July, up to which date advices had reached Hobart Town. There is too much reason to fear, therefore, that the rumour which was circulated in Sydney, and published in this journal on the 11th ultimo, to the effect that she was caught in a sudden squall off Cape Howe, is too true, — S. M. Herald, August 26.
