Evidenro w»i given by a couple of seamen and James M'Ghie (passenger) but nothing was elicited which would throw any light on the ciuse which led to the ship striking the ieland. Captain Fullarton intimated that the evldenoe would be forwarded to tho Boird of Trade, in order that the wreck might bo placed on otflolal record. He also congratulated the survivors on their escape from the wreck, and btattd that they appeared to have acted in a brave, souma-ilike manner, beth at the lime of the striking of the ship a->d du;!ng their subsequent life on Endcrbjf Island.—' Avgus,' ?Sth ult. With referencs to the wreck of the barque Histoila, of Adelaide, Captain Andrews, of the You Yangs, writes to the Sab-collector of Cuvtoms at Mackay that on the 16.'h inst. they sighted a veste! apparently ashore on a reef extending west from One Tree Is'and. He sent a beat, but found no one aboard. The vessel had a sl'ong starboard l'st, and there was a c:n'idorable amount cf water in the bold. Captain Andrews considered that tbe ves el would up in a few bours. He tuccccded in saving tbe ship's chronometer and other instrument?. The inquiry by the Melbourne Steam Navigation Board respecting the circumstances connected wUb the abandonment of tbe barque Glaslyn has already Sroduced some caiious developments. Daniel I'Leod, one of the crow, said the vessel struck on a reef which was not marked on the map, about one in the morning. She bumped pretty hard twice. Tbe captain was on deck, and ordered the sails to be olewed up . They got out the kedgo anchor, and tried to gtt the snip off. Only one effort was made. It was daylight when the tide went out. The ship w. s then high and dry on the rocks. When he left the ship in the chain's boat he did not see any smoke. He never saw the vessel after Leaving her, nor smoke or fire frcin the direction in which she lay. Tney were eventually taken in an English ship to Sydney. John Donaghoy, M.L.A, said he owned a share in the Glaslyn. S De Brer and Co. managed the ship, which had been losing duiing all tbe petiod of its ownership. He desiicd to dispose of the ship, as she was not profitable. N gotialions were going on for a month. In April be taw S. De Beer and Sloman. The latter tGok him into a private office, and offered to take the slip for half tho amount of loßuranoe. He agreed to this. Slotmn promised tt give him a note of e'ea-anoj from aU liability in connection with the ship. The amount was L 1,025. Toe first news he had of the loss of the sbip wa9 about a fortnight after he had gold his bbaro. S. De Beer and Co. owned I lie other la'f of the ship. It was here mentioned that the underwriters had sueceeded in finding the whereabouts of the boatswain who wai on the ship when it was lost. Steps are being taken to bring him to this Colony. Xhe inquiry was then adjourned till Friday week. The barque Marmlon caught fire at one of tho Blisbane wharves on the morning of the 25th ult. The brigade extinguished tbe fire.
