The vessels in harbour yesterday were dressed with bunting in honour of the mar* riage of Mr. W. A. Graham to Miss A. Combos. The Ka. Moi.-— By advertisement it will be seen that the barque Ka Moi is to be placed on the berth for London, immediately on her arrival from Honolulu. The Kn Moi is, if reports speak true, a fine specimen of naval architecture. She is about 3£ years old, aud was - built under special survey of oak, and is of 528 tons register. She is classed 3-3 L 1-1 in French "Veritas. Her last two passages from Honolulu to London were accomplished in 103 and 105 days respectively, and one passage from Honolulu to Bremen in 130 days, a fact that speaks favourably for her sailing qualities. The Ka Moi was to have left Honolulu for this port on February 20, and she may therefore be looked for about tlio middle of tiie present month. A. lirgo portion of her homeward freight ftom Honolulu is already on boar.l, and she will thciofoie have quick despatch from this port, Messrs. Hondeisun aud Macfailcuic ave the agents for the, barque* The sohooutr Tauranga is receiving new foreriggiug. Theiepairs will be completed to-day, ami she will tail for Tauranga this evening. The cargo of the schooner Tauranga, from Tauranga, consists of 630 bushels wheat, 2 horses, 1 ton gum, 10 bundles theepskius. The s. a. Phojbo, from Southern ports, 13 announced to leave the Manukau on Friday next. The Frederick. —To the Editor: Sir,— Having been present aud done my best with others to assist ia recovering the "abandoned vessel" in the Manukau, I can give a truthful version of the' atory about thu wreokeid. On tho moruiug of February the 13th, Captain Wing aud myself were walking on thes'iiuU of the south side of the M.inukau Heads, when we saw coming towaids us one of the captain's men. He said, " Please, sir, there's the Frederica," pointiug to something in the water. .And sure enough there lay tho schooner floating on one of her bides in thu ■water. The captain said he would get her, and that there would be something for his men to pay them for their trouble, and that for himselt he would charge nothing. After hours of very great labour, aud owing to the Bkill of Captain Wing, the abandoned vessel "was got near shore to allow of her being baled out. The schooner when we got her had very little rigging, a damaged foresheeb, and no booms or spars excepting the two masta aud tho bowsprit. The foremast was in a wretched condition and patched. There was nothing in hor hold but soawafcer, and there was no maize nor any si^ns of her cargo. Part of wh a little lining th«jre was v/as used towing tho scluumei tnv.inls bhovo, and securing her. Captain Wing's men haled her out the same in lit. Mr. Gailand, the owner, knew of the recovery of hw vessel the neKt morning ; and, instead of going down promptly to tho tutu and p lying them for their trouhle (for Captain Win;/ left the matter entirely to them), did not'mig of the sort, and the men had to go down to him ; and, if I am correctly iutoimod, he though!; the payment of a few shillings per man was quite sufficient. The lesulfc was, while Air. G-urland was making up hid mind as to payment, tho strong uurotit of the Mauukiu and the v/iud vi\ii io<l aud whirled away the sand on which she was beached, and took the poor Frederic* out to sea again. Two men, so it is said, who wont laafc week to smuggle tho schooner off, without payment of salvage, fuui.d the schooner gone. If geeras, from wheie the vessel now is, Mr. Garland in all likelihood will never see her again, and for he i entiio loss will have no one but himself to blame. £5 would have settled the matter of salvago, and tho vessel was worth £40.-1 am, &o., Viui, Onehunga. The British ship Edward foundered off F&l^outh on December 29, and all on board perished. The U.S. frigate Chattanooza, lyiug in the Channel League [sland, Philadelphia, sprung a leak on December 25. Ib is supposed to have been caused by tho ice. The vessel sank, nothing being visible of her except the masts.
