T'sm s.s. Wellington, when off tho East Cape, passed a bii,' standing south, and heavily laden, who was supposed to b a , by her colour*, a Greek or Clii'eau vessel. — Ibid. jfcThe Henry Millor, we perceive, has been taken off the berth for London. Her place will be taken by the barque Excelsior, shortly expected from Wellington. The Henry Miller will, upon diHcharge of her inward cargo, proceed to China, via Newcastle, N.S.W.— lbid. We have no authorised report of tbe trip of the St. Kilda, the captain having refused to give any information to the press, Btating that such were his instructions. — Ibi^. Tbe ss. Auckland, Harris, master, arrived in Wellington < u the 28th ulfc. from Sydney, which place she left on the 15th. The Astkbope— The first bale of wool was hoisted on board this ship yesterday, and, according to custom, a gun was fired on tbe occasion. Tne Asterope will be our first wool ship this season for London. — Wellington Independent, ('ctpber 29. The p.B. Sturt, Captain Fairoh'M, was to leave Whaiigaaui f».r Pate a 'in the 29 ih ult. The ship IJydaspef, one of the largest vessels which ever vi-ited this colony, arrived at Lyttelton on Wednesday last, after a Gnerun from Loi.don of 84 days. She brought a large number of passengers. — New Zealand Advertiser, November 2. The sbip Blue Jacket, from London, arrived at Lyttelton on Friday evening, after a fine passage of 78 days —Ibid. Ihe barque Caiuilie, Captain Tucker, arrived in harbour yesterday evening from Newcastle, having left that port on the 13th instant. She brings 520 tons coal for the P..N.Z , and A.tt.M. Co. Captain Tucker informs us that he sighted a wreck off Stephens' Islaud yesterday morning ; the bull was lying on its siiie, anolie thinks it must have belonged to a vettsel of about sixty tons. — New Zealand Advertiser, October 26. The clipper brig- Corsair^ 134 tons, Bidgood, master, was to leave Melbourne for Auckland on an early date. — Argus, October 20. By advices received by last mail, we learn that Captain Uobertson, of the Countess of Kintore, baa been appointed to the command of the* new ship William Duthie, for the Sydney trade ; Captain Petherbridge, of the Chile, has been appointed to the Countess, for tho Auckland trade; and Captain Culbert, late of the uufoi ttmate Star of Tasmania, has got command of the Chile.— Otago Daily Times, October 30. Messrs. Hall, of Aberdeen, have launched a barque of 300 t >ns to replace the John Williams, missionary ship. She was named the Samoa. The barque Sea Nymph, 256 tons, which left tbe wharf at Geelong yesterday morning, bound for Newcastle, in ballast, went ashore near Cowie's Creek, between 11 and 12 o'clock. It appears that the vessel in warping out had to cut and leave one one of the hawsers which connected her with the buoy of the Yarra-street Wharf. After getting into the bay the captain sent a boat to recover the line, and hove-to, .waiting for the return of the boat. The wiud being strong, and two points abaft the beam, caused the vessel t-i head on towards tbe coast off Cowie's Creek, where she eventually beached. The steamer Reliauce made several attempts to get her off, but all her efforts proved unavailing. At nightfall the vessel still remained iv a precarious position. — Melbourne Argus, October 21. H.M. s. Blanche. — It is stated in a Sydney telegcam that H.M. s. Blanche is to proceed to New Zealand.— Wellington Independent, October 29. The S. D. Bailey. — In our Jast issue we gave full particulars relative to the examination ©f the late captain of this vessel. The Melbourne Age of the 17th instant says, " Charles G-. Robins, late master of the American ship S. D. Bailey, from San Francisco to Nelson, New Zealand, re-appeared at the City Police Court yesterday, to answer the charge of forgery. General Latham, American Consul at Melbourne, being unprepared to go on with the case, the prisoner was further remanded for seven days." It may he noted that Captain McTntyre, the American Consul here, has been indefatigable in his efforts to obtain the necessary evidence to establish the case a>4>aiflBt KobillS- Tlio veo*ol io now ail) Aucklaud, aud we believe the American consul at Melbourne has ser>t instructions to Captain Mcln tyre to obtain the mate and as many of tbe original crew as possible, and send them, together with the vessel, across to Mi lb >urne. There are, however, some difficulties connected with international law in the way of adopting this course, and Captain Mcfntyre, as Consul here, has not been able to secure the o-operation of the New Zealand Government. — Ibid.
