WRECKS IN AUSTRALIA. WRECK OF THE SCHOOKBR J. G. CoiESON. — The Illalong (s.)i from Shoalh&ven, brought the captain and orew of tho above vessel up to Sydney yesterday afternoon. The folio wing are the particulars of the wreok. TheJ. GK Oolesen left the Tweed River, timber-laden, for Sydney, on Monday the 17th inst., and arrived off Shoalhaven on Friday, previously however, carrying away her away her jiboom and mainboom. 0 tptain Arohdeacon endeavoured to run into Shoalhaven, but in the attempt she went ashore on the North Spit, where she now lies high and dry. Tho J. G. Goleson was the property of Mr. Ooleson, late of Sydney, and is insured in the Victoria Office, for £800, and had on board 40,000 feet of cedar consigned to Mr. Oor of this citj.—SydiMy Herald. Wbbck of thb Lobd op the Isies Ketch. — The captain and crew of this vessel arrived in Sydney yesterday, from Kiatna. It appears that she arrived at the above port on the 18th instant, and was properly moored, but the following day, as the sea got up, extra moorings were laid out, which held her, but on Friday she went down and became a total wreck, and on Saturday was seen to break up, md wash to se».— Ibid. j Total Loss ov the Margaret, ov Stdnbt.-— We regret to heve to record the total loss of the schooner Margaret, bound from the Macleay River to Sydney, with a full cargo of maize. It appeared that after leaving the Macleay she encountered the full force of the gale which has has been raging for the last few days and was carried clear away from land running past Sydney, and making land again in the vicinity of the Five Islands on Friday morning. It was determined by those on board to make for Wollongong all hands being by this time nearly exhautted, not having been able to remove the hatohes to procure any food for three days. When she became visible from the flagstaff, intense anxiety was manifested by the numbers assembled, fearing she would never live in the terrific sea, but the skill and excellent management of those on board brought her safe until arriving near the end of the breakwater, when she let go both anchors. Upon observing this pilot Edwards, in company with his eon and a man named Daniel Roxborough, put off to their assistance. Having arrived near the vesiel they called out to those on board to jump overboard one at a time and they would pick them up, but to this no answer was returned. In the meantime their own boat was in a position of the most imminent danger the iteer oar having been lost. Pilot Edwards determined not to leave anything undone. By dint of the most strenuous exertions he'maintained the head of tb.9 boat against the mighty rollers which were incsfantly rushing with irresistible violence into the harbour, when one mightier than the rest struck the frail boat, and dashed it to pieces, casting its inmates into the raging element. All struck out manfully for shore, but only two reached it in safety, and ono of those Roxborough escaped b7 a miracle ; for soon after the boat had been bpun in the air and broken, a heavy roller seemed to strike him on the head, and it was thought he was gone. The pilot,- after swimming for a time, was observed to cling to a piece of the wreck of the Catherine floating near, and then to disappear. A boat from the Otago was promptly lowered, the body riecned, and conveyed into the I.8.1S". Co.'s store. Drs. Marshall and Lambert, were speedily in attendance, assisted by Mr. H. Sinclair ; but their exertions were unavailing, Jife was extinct. The others succeeded in reaching the beach, although very much exhausted, especially the man Roxborough. He struck out for the anchor moored off the rocks near where the Adolphus was wrecked. He succc 3ded in grasping the anchor but the rush of water going out carried him ulth it. Again he essayed and was again carried out with it. Mr. T. Kelly 'at the immiJL* «.k of t» «fra uxo, rusnea into the breakers, and succeeded in catching him by the hair of the head and dragging h J m ashore, where he speedily recovered. While these events were occurring the schooner dragged, and ultimately parted both chains of her anchors, and was drifted with great velocity on to the rocks where the portion of the wreck of the Adolphus lies. Immediately she struck her crew jumped ashore in safety. An attempt was then made to slew her round so that her stem would rest upon the shelving rocks near the first cutting, where she would have been in comparative security from the further violence of the sea. A rope was accordingly made fast but when they commenced to haul, it gave way, and the attempt was abandoned. Pieces of the wreck are now strewed along tho beach in every direction. — Illawarra Express,

The schooner Lily, from WaiheH, brought up a cargo of firewood yesterday afternoon. The outter Blue Bell, McGregor, master, left yesterday for Coromandel, with cargo and passengers. The clipper Bhip Excelsior, which arrived in port on Tuesday evening, had to contend agamst most unusually heavy weather on the voyage out. Captain Atkinson reports of the passage that the Excelsior left the Mersey on March 11, and had a succession of gales and generally heavy weather, during which the foreyard was sprung, until aB far as Madeira. Light winds and pleasant weather were then met with until May 11,' in latitude 3542 S., and longitude 1-59 W., when a furious gale came on from the northward. The gale was fearful, with a tremendous sea, and the ship running before the gale under rlose-reefed topsails and foresail. At 4a. m. the sea oiled over the ship, and swept away everything movable about the decks, including the after-hatch, house on deck, and waterclosets, staving in the poop door, breaking in two a spare topsail-yard that was lashed on deck, and floating part of it overboard. At 6a. m. cut the foresail from the yard, and soon after a new mizen topsail, blew away. At times in this hurricane the ship must have had over 200 tons of water on deck, as her rails £ere level full, an trembling and straining under the weight of water. For the remainder of the passage, until longitude 100 degrees E., hard gales, with sudden shifts of wind and tremendous heavy cross sea, prevailed. Ibis weather continued up to the 7th June, when it changed for the better. On the 10th, »t half-past 3p m. it was blowing a strong wind from the N.W., the ship running eleven miles an hour under full canvas and at the weather was looking threatening, got the ship under close-reefed topsails. At sp.m. a squall acompnnied with a ball of fire struck the ship, making her tremble to a fearful extent. The ball struck the maintopmaat staysail, cutting all th 9 hanks, and blowing it over the side, but it was saved by the sheet and halyards. On the 13th the gale increased, and was accompanied with heavy squalls endous clap of thunder broke over the ship, and and hale, and much lightning. At 9 p. m. a trealmost instantaneously * ball of fire burst at the main royal masthead ; the falling down tha rigging like powder from a rocket, and injuring the sail maker The heavy weather continned to the 14th, and wai succeeded by light easterly winds for the next tw( days. On the 16th the wind again blew a hurricam from the S. E., and the ship was labouring under tw( close-reefed topsails andfo*esntt,totho lfyh,— Argus June 26. . > - .^^ c _ j.>

The handsome clipper ship Frances Henty, belonging to Messrs. J. Henty & Co., has during her late stay in Port Phillip, undergone a very extensiv overhaul and refit, and been plaoed in a state of most efficient repair, so that in many respects she is now in as good condition as when built. The old waterways and covering-boards have been removed* and replaced with new timber— the best that could be procured—and the same has been done with, her decks, nearly all new planking having been put down. Her topsides have been entirely re- caulked, and the whole of the old iron bolts have been taken out, and new iron and copper fastenings substituted. A new mizenmast five feet shorter than the old one, has been put in, and the fore and mainmasts have been lowered to the same extent. This alteration will in some degree modify her previous taunt appearance and will moreover, considerably improve her saiJ-ng capacities. A full fit-out of new running gear has also been supplied and a number of minor repairs and alterations have been effected below and aloft. Her owners have spared no expense on her, and when ready for sea, as she will be in the course of a few days, the Frances Henty will be almost as good as new. She will pr«H>ably clear out lor Shanghai ; and in order that the pirates in the Chinese waters may meet with a warm i reception should they favor Captain Torrence with a visit; a compact little armoury, consisting of eighteen Bnfield rifles, and a number of revolvers, with the requisite ammunition, has been placed on board.— Melbourne Argus, -■ '
