CBy Telegraph.—Own correspondent.)
TAIRUA, this day.
A messenger from Ohui has just ridden over, and reported that the scow Surprise vcent ashore on the rocks about a mile from the no-rth end of Ohui Beaia, and is a total wreck.
The captain, mate, and two seamen are supposed to be drowned. A fifth hand got ashore, and found his way to Ohui, ■where he is being well looked after by Mr. Jas. McGregor. He is badly knocked about, and rambles a. little in his talk, but is expected to be well in a day or two. His name is Harry Jackson. From what can be gathered from his account, the scow dragged her anchors right from Slipper Island, and went ashore on the coast early on Sunday morning.
