ARRIVAL OF THE BRIG WAVERLEY. The brig Waverley, Captain Forsayth, made the harbour at an early hour yesterday morning from Paquica, Bolivia, with a cargo of guano on account of her owners, Messrs. Cruickshank, Smart, and Co, The Waverley left Auckland on the 13th of November last for Bolivia, via Valparaiso, and made a rery rapid passage of 26 days to Tome". From • thence she proceeded to Paquica, a guano depdt on the maia-land of Bolivia, to load for this port, bnt found on arrival thab the effect of a severe shock of earthquake, experienced some time previously, had been to destroy the sheds and buildings at the place, and retard the loading of vessels, a considerable:' number of which were* at that time awaiting cargoes. The Waverley left under charter for Coronel, to return with a cargo of coals, and, after completing the charter, took in 300 tons of guano at Paquica. Left the latter place for Auckland on the 17th of May, and had- light variable winds during the greater part of the journey. S&w no vessels, nor experienced any thing worth recording until arriving off New Zealand. tae^ through the islands in latitude 15' S., and waa off 'Cape Brett on Thursday evening last, when a_ sever© y gale sprang up, which veered from N.E. to 8.5. E., and wai accompanied by heavy cross seas. The vessel was heve to during the continuance of the gale, which only abated on Saturday. Cape Brett was sighted a second time on the following' morning (Sunday), and the vessel anchored in this . harbour at 3.30 a.m. yesterday. ' ' Captain Forsayth reports two shock* of earth- , quake having been experienceid on the co»t of Bolivia during his stay there. «.,,,„ , „' Cargo ; SOO tons guano, Cruickshank, Smart, and Co.

The Waverley, which arrived yesterday, confirms the . report of the prevalence of a severe gale off the coast on Thursday eyen jng last. She deemed it prudent . to heave to during its' eontinotneje from Thursday. ; until- Saturday, off Cape Brett. A number of vessel* for {he Thames were detained in harbour >in 4*

Took in oargo, and left again on Sunday, with a light north-westerly wind, which oontinued until 3 avm. yesterday, when a strong breeze from the N.N.E. sprang up, accompanied by 8» violent sea, and oontinued until the arrival of the vessel in port. ■ The ' Mavis," since her last visit to Auckland, has made a trip to the Great Barrier liland for firewood, and another to Tairua for timber, on account of a Tauranga firm. She brings a oargo of 700 bushels maize, 5 pigs, 2 tons potatoes, and eleven native passengers, from Flat Island. The steamer Star of the South takes her departure to-day for Napier, with passenger* and cargo. Owing to the unfavourable weather yesterday, the vessels hud on for the Tkauie*. were not able to take their departure, whilst others were purposely detained until after the departure of Mr. Commissioner Mackay. The latter gentleman proceeds thi* morning, weather permitting, in the cutter Alabama. The following vessels are laid on for the spot : — Tauranga, b.s., and Enterprise No. 2, p.s., Bessy, Alabama, Otahuhu, Bluebell, aud Rangitira to-day ; Cornstalk and Dusty Miller to-morrow.

Thb Schoonbb Jessik Kelly.— Stbangi Conduct of Captain Smsth.— We abridge the particulars of the Jessie Kellys, passage from the Mauritius to Dunedin, from the Times of the 20th : — She sailed from Port Louis, with'a cargo of sugar, on the 16th of March, under the command of Captain William Smyth. Shortly after leaving, the vessel was headed for the westward, the master informing the chief officer that he intended proceeding to San Francisco vi& the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn. The mate remonstrated with him, and after a 'two hours' run on a westerly course the vessel was hauled to the eastward. At this time several of the crew fell sick, including the mate. On the 26th March she was again headed for the westward ; this time for the Cape of Good Hope, and kept mooing at the rate of nine knots for four hours. During the whole of this time, a strong south-east Wind with heavy sea prevailed, causing the vessel to pitch and labour heavily, whereby she sprung a leak. On April 3rd, the master 'called all hands aft, to have a consultation concerning the ship, when it was agreed to proceed to the nearest port for repairs ; she was then making six inches of water per hour, and a course was shaped for Fremantle. Discharged eighty tons of cargo, and had the vessel caulked from Cupper to gunwale. Took in cargo again. with the exception of twenty tons, which were disposed of by Captain Smyth. Eighteen passengers, chiefly convict expirees, were also shipped at Fremantle for Ofcago, and she proceeded on her voyage on the 6th June. After leaving, the captain appeared to be suffering from drink. A strong N.W. gale sprang up on the same night, and the vessel had a very narrow escape from total shipwreck on Rotten-nest Island. A leeward course had been steered, and, when the gale came on, she had to haul sharp up, under press of sail, and, being a smart vessel, managed to weather the island. At one time she was actually among the breakers, and the sea making a clean breach over her. The gale continued for two days, and the vessel again commenced to leak. On the 15th June, in latitude 365 S., longitude 130*24 E., then blowing a fresh N.N.W. gale, the master, without consultation, hauled her up for Adelaide, where she arrived on the 23rd. Two days afterwards Captain Smyth left the vessel, taking with him one of the female , passengers and her boy, and proceeded by steamer to Melbourne, the only instructions given to the chief officer being that he would be back in a week. Captain Snadden was appointed to the command. The Jessie Kelly is a handsome clipper schooner, built by Mr. Niocol, of Auckland, fifteen months ago. This is only her second voyage. She is owned by Captain Kelly, of bydney. Samtt ot H.B.M. Ship Clio.— We learn with .pleasure that news has been received here of the .safety of H.B.M. ship Clio, supposed to have been . Jost on the passage from Tahiti to Valparaiso. It .appears that after leaving the former port, when in latitude 46' south, she encountered a heavy gale, which carried away all her sails and otherwise caused her serious damage. It was also found, on inspection, that her mainmast was rotten ; and it was deemed advisable to return to Tahiti for repairs, .where she was at last account. The letters reoeived from the Clio are dated April 16, and were brought to Talcahuano by a whaler, and thence by the Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer to Panama. — Panama Star and Herald.
