The clipper schoontr Sybil came into harbour on Friday morning after a splendid, and, we believe, altogether unparalleled passage of eight days from the Manukau to New Plymouth and thence to Auckland, three days of the time being passed at the anchorage New Plymouth. The Sybil left for New Plymouth on ! the morning of the 29th ultimo, and met with very ' severe weather from S E , during which she parted her chain, leaving that and her anchor behind. j In Port at last.— On the 30th of November Mr. ; Win, White, jun., picked up a bottle, about forty miles < northward of Kdipara North Head, closely coiked and sealed. On opening it he found a paper with the following memorandum, in pencil . — " Baique Elizabeth, of Glasgow, from Bombay to I Liverpool. All well. Lat. 34.26 South. Long. 26 33 East. April 26, 1855." The bottle must therefore have been tossing on the ocean tor upwards of two years and a half.

j Capture of a British Vessel by Pirates.—Yes- , terday morning, Sept. 15, intelligence was received at I Lloyd's under date, Kingston, Jamaica, August 27, of I the capture of the British ship Endeavour, by a pirati- | cal vessel, and the murder of nearly all on board. It seems the Endeavour was on a trading voyage on the South American Coast. On August 1, about 15 miles from Bahia Heads, when lying becalmed, boats tilled with armed pirates put off from a vessel that had followed the Endeavour for several days previously ; and despite the gallant efforts of Captain Durant and his men, they succeeded in boarding the vessel. The captain and 13 of the crew were instantly murdered in cold blood, seven others of the crew on witnessing this contrived to get over the side into one of the boats and made their escape. After being on the ocean four days and nights, ithout food or » ater, they were picked up by the Con way steamer, and landed at Kingston on the 27th August. — Home News. The ship John M'Vicar, 648 tons register, William Allen, commander, sailed from Plymouth on the 6th August, 1857, and arrived in Wellington on the 12th November, 1857, having made the passage in 97 days. She left after the barque Gleaner and ship Ashburton, neither of which vessels have arrived here yet. She brings out almost a full cargo for this Port, having only about 25 tons onboard for Nelson ; also. 7 cabin, 4 second cabin, and 11 Bteerage passengers for Wellington ; and 25 cabin, 14 second cabin, and 4 steerage passengers for Nelson. Four deaths occurred, all children ; and a seaman named George Buckman fell overboard during a gale of wind. She had a fine run out and the passengers speak in the highest tetms of the captain, doctor, and the treatment they received. This splendid ship is one of Messrs. Arthur Willis, Gann, and Co.'s well known line of packets. The Cresswell was laid on by the same firm, to sail for Wellington direct early in September. — Spectator, Nov. 14.
