ARRIVAL OF THE SCHOONER MORBA. The fore-and-aft; schooner Mores, Captain Waterman, arrived ia harbour about 4 o'clock yeiterday afternoon from Rorotonga, with a cargo of 60,000 oranges and 50 pineapples. She also bring* the captain's wife and child as passengers. The Morea left Rorotonga on the 11th instant, and experienced very favourable weather until the 25th, when aha fell in with a heavy gale from N.E., which lasted two day*, when it moderated, and the Morea has had light and baffling wind* •ince that date. Daring the gale of the 25th her tiller waa carried away, bat the injury was ioon repaired. She made the Great Barrier at «ix o'clock yesterday morning, and the harbour as above. Spoke no vessels during the passage. Captain Waterman reports that when he left Rorotonga the schooner Kauri was loaded with a cargo of oranges for Wellington.

THE BA.RQUENTINE PRINCE ALFRED. We learn, by the arrival of the barqu* Novelty yeaterday and Sydney files to the 16th inttant, that the barquentine Prince Alfred, Captain Watson, had not arrived at Sydney when the Norelty left. We therefore hasten to amend the statement mad* by us and the Herald on iaconvct information as to her arrival prior to the departure of the Hannah Newton. The Prince Alfred left Auckland on the 2nd initant, and was ooatequently thirteen days out when the Norelty tailed for this port.

ARRIVAL OP THE IVANHOE. The favourite trading schooner Ivanhoe, Captain McGregor, arrived in harbour from Mangooui yesterday afternoon, shortly after 3 o'clock, bringing 6 tons kauri gum and two passengers. The Ivanho* left Mangonui on Saturday last, and has experienced very heavy weather on her passage to this port. On Sunday evening, during a heavy gala, the veisel's jibboom was carried away, but the wind soon after fell considerably and continued light until about 2 p.m. yesterday, when a good breeze springing up from the north-east brought the vessel into harbour, as stated above. She spoke no vessels on the passage except the barque Novelty, which made the harbour shortly after the Ivanhoa.

WRECK OF THE BRIG RELIANCE. The following telegram, dated Bowen, July 11, appears in the Brisbane Courier of the 13th : — " The M»id o{»Riverton arrived from Cleveland Bay frith the crew of the brig Reliance, which was wrecked on Indispensable Reef on the 22nd April last. The captain and crew were twenty-eight days in boats before they dared land, the natives being very hostile whenever they approached the shore, and three times chased them in large canoes. They had nettling to subsist upon the whole time but cocoanats. Th« whaleboat, with the mate and thrae of the crew, is still missing. The Reliance is a total wreck, and uninsured." The Sydney Morning Herdd of the 16th, in referring to the same subject, says :—": — " The Reliance, brig, reported in the Brisbane Courier of the 18th as having been wrecked, was commanded by Captain Austin, and sailed from this port; for Rookhampton on the 12th December last, arriving at her destination on the 28th of the same month ; bat the Northern papers afford no information whatever as to when she sailed again, or where bound to." Captain Austin is a gentleman well known in this port. It will be remembered that some time ago, while the Reliance was lying in the port of Kaipara, Captain Austin was robbed of his pocket-book containing banknotes and gold to the value of £400, a very small portion of which was recovered by our police, who however, instead of being blamed for the result of their exertions, deserved groat credit for the clever capture of the thief.

THE SHIP ETHIOPIAN. We learn by the Sydney Morning Herald of the 16th instant that the chip Ethiopian, Captain Faulkner, was to iail for Auckland on the following day. The Empire of the same date, however, announced her to leave for Shanghai. We are of opinion that the latter report is the correct one.

THE LA.LLA ROOKH. The brig Lalla Rookh was loading at Sydney for Auckland on the 15th instant, and w»a announced to lcare at an early date.

SUPPOSED WRECK AT PALLISER BA.Y. A letter has been received in Wellington by Robert Pharazyn, Esq., from a friend in the Wairarapa, stating that portions of a cargo of a vessel have been washed ashore near the cliffs in PaUiter Bay. This letter wa« forwarded to W. Seed, Es^., Secretary of H.M. Customs, who immediately telegraphed to Featherstoa for a policeman or speoial messenger to proceed to the coast to obtain all farther information, and telegraph, to the Government the result of his inquiries. The following were picked up :— 2 casks ale, 2 casks brandy, and 1 cask rum. One of the casks of ale was apparently colonial. A lower yard of a large ship had come ashore new Mathews's, about ten miles nearer Wellington, in Palliser Bay, which is stated on good authority to have belonged to a vessel of not less than 700 or 800 tons. — Evening Pott, July 25.

WRECK OF THE BRIG DANIEL WATSON. We are lorry to record the wreck of this fine Hobart Town brig, which occurred between 12 and 1 o'olock yesterday morning, on the shag reef, in Lyttelton harbour. The Teasel had discharged her inward cargo of timber, and had taken in her ballast at the Railway Wharf, and yesterday afternoon she hauled off to an anchorage, ready for sea, with 45 fathoms chain out. Between 10 and 11 o'clock last night the wind commenced to blow heavily from the N. E. t and continued increasing, breaking out now and again intaitrongheavj gusts. Added to this, the night was very dark. Respecting the wreck of the vessel little can be learnt. It appears there was a proper watch kept on deck, and the mate several times tried the chain and found it slack. Finding the vessel drifting, he let go the second anchor, but the vessel struck the reef and soon commenced to fill. The mate sent the second officer on shore to Captain Woods for assistance, who immediately sent information to Captain Gibson, harbour-master, and also to Mr. Norris, pilot. Captain Gibson ordered the pilot and crew to proceed to the wreck, and stand by her, in case of accident; he also engaged the ■teamer G»zelle, and in company with Captain Woods proceeded to the vessel, and took off from the rigging the remainder of the crew. At 10 o'clock this morning the brig slipped off the reef, and settled down into deep water ; the mate, who was on board in his cabin at the time, bad * narrow escape, at, owing to the heavy swell in the harbour, ie was impossible to let the pilot-boat lie alongside. We are sorry to say that the men hare lost all their clothing. In the course of the day the brig heeled over on to her broadside, and it was discovered at the survey that she is bilged and her yards gone. There will be*an official inquiry into the cause of the mceck.—Lyttelton Times, July 24.

MISCELLANEOUS. The Lady Don, Captain. Martin, arrired at Lyttelton from Auckland oa the 23rd instant. The i.s. Lord Ashley arrived at JDunedia on the 21it instant. The brig Dart, Captain Scapiehorn, arrired at Sydney on tht 14th initant, after a protracted pauagt of 24 dayi.

By advices to hand by the s.s. Wellington yesterday, we learn that the barque Ellumere, Captain L»ke, had lailed from Lyttelton for this port. She may be expected therefore before the oloie of the Tbe dipper schooner Jessie Kelly -was loading at Graf ton wharf for Rockhampton on the 15th instant. The schooner Success arrived from the Bay of Islands last night, with 65 tons of coal and several P THBAMA.TBXTH.— -The three-masted sohooner Amateur, Captain Francis, arrived at Sydney from Auckland on the 13th initant, 22 days out. She reports haying experienced very variable weather throughout Thx EthaK Allen.— The American barque Ethan Allen, Captain Friend, sailed from Sydney for San Franciaco on the 13tb, with 60 passengers and 274 tons of coal. _ . -^ . . Th« Moa.— The brig Moa, Captain Robertson, took her departure from Sydney for Tahiti on the 13th instant, with a general cargo, and, among others, the following passengers :— Mrs., Misies (2), and Master Robertson. . , .. At 9 o'clock yesterday morning the s.s. Anunn had steam up, and w*s ready to start for Wellington, when a considerable leak in the bottom of her boiler allowed sufficient water to rush out to quench the fires. Her engineer at once commenced to repair the damage, and, with the assistance laid on by the local agent, Mr. Lewis, it is hoped she will be ready for sea by the next tide. The flaw in the bottom of her boiler is not of a nature to cau«e her detention more than a few hours.— Wanganui Time*, July 21. The schooner Queen was announced, in the Otago Daily Times of the 23rd, to sail on that date for Auckland. _, . , . The schooner Mavis, Captain Morton, arrived at Lyttelton from Wellington on the 21st instant. x The fine schooner Lady Don arrived in harbour yesterday morning from Auckland. She put in through stress of weather, bound for Timaru, 16 days out, with sails blown away.— Lyttdton Timei, July 24. From latest advices we learn that the new ship Hydaspes, 2,500 tons register, has been placed on the berth for Canterbury ; she »u to leave in July. She has saloon accommodation for 60 passengers. It is believed that Captain White, of the Blue Jacket, will command her. We also hear that Mr. Robb has joined her as purser. The Blue Jacket has been sold, owing to the failure of the White Star Company, and it is not likely she will be put in this trade.— Lytleltm Times, July 31. The ScHOONBa Rnxtiuu.— This vessel, whicli has attained such notoriety in consequence of its seizure by the Chatham Island prisoners for the purpose of conveying them to Poverty Bay, is still in Wellington harbour. The chief officer (Mr. Payne) received a telegram on July 24th, from the owners at Canterbury, instructing; him to return to the Chatham Islands with all despatch, in order to carry out tbe contract with Mr. Hood and to bring off Captain Christian. It appears likely, however, that the Government will require the sohooner te remain here until the whole matter connected with the j escape of the prisoners, and the conduct of the chief ! officer, has been offioially investigated. {Presuming i Mr. Payne's account to be striotly correct (and we have no reason to doubt his veraoity), it is difficult to understand how any blame oan be thrown upon the officer or crew, who had but one alternative,— either to navigate the ship or be slain or thrown overboard by bloodthirsty and desperate natives.— lndependent, July 25. The anxiety which has been felt respecting the Eaglet barque is now at an end, she having arrived at Cape Moreton yesterday. Accounts are conflicting as to the time of her departure, one statement being that she sailed on March 21, and another a month eatlier. At any rate she has not been out less than 180 days, taking the latest date as the correct one.— Brisbane Courier •, July 11.
