Accident to the s.s. Blackbibd. —The s.s. Blackbird, Captain Torrance, from Lyttelton, bound to Newcastle, N.S.W., anchored at the Heads on Tuesday last. She wa: ; proceeding through the Straits, on Monday evening, when an accident occurred to her machinery, wluch necessitated her putting in here for repairs. On Tuesday afternoon, Captain Torrance landed at the pilot's station, and walked into town for the purpose of getting assistance j and was fortunate enough to engage s.s. Lady Bird, then about to start for the Bluff, to tow this vessel into port. The Lady Bird proceeded, shortly after her trial trip, to the heads, and succeeded in towing the Blackbird to Kaiwarra against a strong N.W. wind, arriving there at 10 p.m. The Blackbird has burst the cylinder of her forward engine, and bent her piston and air pump rods. The accident is supposed to have been caused by the air pump bucket coming off, when the piston rod coming down on the bucket forced the piston through one side of the cylinder, bending the piston and air pump rods. Captain Torrance took his vessel to Kaiwarra for the purpose of beaching her and unshipping her screw with the intention of proceeding on his voyage under canvas, in the event of not being able to get his engine repaired here. It is fortunate that the necessary repairs can be executed here, though from the circumstance that a new cylinder will require to be cast, some little time would elapse before she would be again ready for sea.—Wellington Independent, April 28.

The s.s. Lady 'Bird.—This fine steamer, which returned to this port on last Saturday afternoon, from Sydney via Nelson and Picton has undergone, during her five months' absence, a thorough overhaul both in hull and machinery. The boiler was taken out, and a new bottom was put to it, the old tubes being replaced by new ones. The furnaces were subjected to a careful examination, and new backs were put to them. The engine was all taken to pieces, every part being overhauled, and it was put in first-rate working order. The lining in the hold was removed, and all the plates and angle-iron, fore and aft, were chipped and scraped perfectly clean, after which they were painted with two coats of red lead, and cement was laid on about three inches thick in the bottom and bilges in order to protect the plates from the wash of the bilge water. The bulwarks were examined thoroughly, and were repaired where it was found necessary. The decks, fore and aft, were also repaired and caulked. The saloon and lower and fore cabins have been painted and renovated throughout, vast improvements having booa ji-iitj -witifvii; auii ol tlic seats Jincl loungers. The rigging, spars, and sails have all been renovated and improved, and all the gear, fjxmiture, boats, and other appurtenances have been examined, and placed in a state of efficiency. The hull has been scraped and cleaned from rail to keel, and has been well painted. The riveting has undergone a close scrutiny, and where any of them were found to be the worse for wear, they were removed, and new ones were put in their stead. Besides the repairs above mentioned, a new three-bladed ■screw has been shipped, and a new shaft-end has been added. A new stuffing box has been fitted to the rudderhead, to do away with the noise caused by. the vibration. Altogether the vessel has been considerably improved, anp will now take her rank amongst the most convenient and smartest steamers on the coast of New Zealand. The repairs of the Lady Bird amounted, we understand, to a sum little short of £6,000. —Advertiser April 28.

Wreck of the Panama.—lt is with deep regret that we have to record the total loss of the barque Panama, 414 tons, N. H. Habig, master, which was wrecked on the night of Friday, the 18th inst., near Sandy Cape, at the north-west end of Frazcr's (or Great Sandy) Island, off the entrance to Hervey's Bay. The Panama, it will be remembered, left Port Chalmers, New Zealand, on the 10th February last, for Rocklmmpton, with 150 diggers on board, who were proceeding to the Peak Downs goldfield. She arrived in Keppel Bay, on the 27th, after a quick passage of seventeen days, and left again on the sth inst., bound to Newcastle, New South Wales. The sad intelligence of her shipwreck was communicated to Captain Curphey, of the steamer Queensland, by Captain Habig, who was picked up in a boat by the former on Wednesday last, at four o'clock p.m., a few hours after the steamer left Maryborough on her way to this port. Captain Habig informed Captain Curphey that from the time of his leaving Keppel Bay until the moment of the vessel striking, he had terrific weather, and never onee sighted land, and that for fourteen days the ship had been knocking about along the coast without anyone on board —not even the pilot—having the least idea of their whereabouts. In fact, not long before the catastrophe happened, so far from having any knowledge of his being in the vicinity of such a dangerous spot as Breaksea Spit, he believed he was off the coast of New Caledonia. Captain Habig only became aware of the extreme peril his vessel was in when, at six o'clock on Friday evening, the 18tli, he first caught sight of the breakers on the Spit. Deeming it still possible to save the barque, which was then exposed to the full fury of the violent gale that commenced on the afternoon of that day, and which was driving her ashore, he immediately altered her course. All that niglit the gale continued with unabated violence, and great alarm was now felt for the safety of the ship. At about four o'clock the following (Saturday) morning the wind, which had been previously blowing from the E.S.E., suddenly shifted round to N.W., from which quarter it now came with increased violence. The weather was so thick and hazy at the time that it was impossible to see a ship's length from the vessel. About a quarter of an hour after the wind had thus changed, the barque was driven on the bcach, and soon parted in two amidships, the sea breaking over her. One man was drowned whilst attempting to reach the shore. The others succeeded in doing so. Some of the men remained on the fragment of the wreck, whilst others remained on the island, which they had managed to reach. Unfortunately, fearing an attack from the natives, they, with the exception of one man, left the shore in a boat of their own construction, and all perished. This man, together with Captain Habig and those who were with him in the boat, proceeded on to Gladstone in the Queensland. The steamer Eagle being at Gladstone when they arrived there, they were enabled to proceed in her to Sydney. —Roclchampton Bulletin, March 26.
