The Wakatipo. steamer, will not arrive here before to-morrow, owing to detention at Welling--toa.,. « --- Captain Tnow, of schooner Sissy, desires to state -that tSie COlßslon reported in yesterday'sP-Ess, between his vessel and a small boat, occurred as follows:—The Sissy wss standing- across the harbor OB the starboard tack, when the boat was first seen on the lee bow on the port tack. I knew he couldn't cross onr bow in time, go called to him several times to either go abont, or under onr stern, tat _c took no notice. When I saw that. I put the helm down to hrir? the schooner round, and the boa* _tiU following its eomrse cam* ri.ht under onr b»w. The boat belonjred to the hripantine Hopeful, and the occupants were seamen belonginij to that vessel, and evidently were not experts in the management of small boats. Tha barque Bnttermere. from Calcutta, with core—u__», is among the expected arrivals. The 2TZ. and Australian Gazette, under date of Xocdon, November 2nd, says, that the ship City of Dublin, from Wellington, N Z., was wrecked on tha T_7-fll« Sands whilst attempting to cross the bar at the »OBthof the Columbia river (8.C.), on October the ISth. without a pilot. The steam launch Eclipse is announced for sale by Tax J. Retch er.
