The s.s. Richmond, from Fiji, at Auckland, brings newß that the Auckland rchooner Julia Price went ashore near Raratonsa on May 8. Captain Clark was nnt able to get her off and she was sold to the Natives, who floated her. She is to be brought to Auckland to be repaired Captain M'Mickan, of the Cunard steamer Umbrla, which arrived in the Mersey recently, has achieved that which has nevfr been accomplished before—namely, a vessel leaving New York on Saturday and the following Saturday p s»ing the entry in the Liverpool Custom-house as having arrived In'tho Mersey. The Beautiful Star left the Rattray street wharf last r.iaht for Oamaru.

The brigantine Enterprise sailed from Jetty street wharf at nine o'clock thU morning for Napier.

The Tanwera was hauled Into the graving dock tMs morning. Owing to the indisposition of Captain Wheeler, of the Wakatipn, Captain Meades, manter of the Wauaka, took oharge of the former vessel, which sailed from Wellington for the Southern porta last evening. Mr Shepperd, formerly chief officer of the Wakatipn, haa taken charge of tho Waiiaka. Tho Tarawera, frcm Sydney via Auckland and Kast Coast port?, arrived alongside the Bowcn piir at 7 a.m. to-day.

From Auckl-nd to Napier frhe had fine weather, and thonco to arrival strong head winds and sea. We thank Mr Humphries (purser) for report and exchanges. Some int-resting experiments were made off Dover recently with a S' a anchor which is designed for the use of vessels In U'gent distress at soa. The experiments were unanimou ly considered by all those who wHce9Bed them to be eminently pucoessful, and the anchor an invention which might be the means of giving many n ve«sel when at the mercy of tho sea. The anohor, if rightly so termed, is made of canvas in the shape of a bag. These anchors or bags were thrown into the soa, and made fast to the bow of the vessel by a stout rope. The immediate object of these anchors Is to bring a vessel up head to sea when all other means have failed and the vessl is In danger of foundering. The inventor, Captoin Waters, made use of a temporarily-constructed arrangement of this kind in a terrific gale in the Bay of Biscay rome years ago, when his veseel was In danger of foundering, and the craft, although only a small one, was brought head to the sea by this means, and successfully rode out the gale for fifteen hours, when it abated.

The barque Otago, from London, ninety days out, wnloharrived at Lyttelton yesterday, pfoked upon April 10 the crew of the birque Julius, of Leitb, in latitude 29deg 40mln N., longitude I9deg 27min W. The Julius, which was bound from Cardiff to Natal, had foundered on tbe previous day, but all the crew had managed to geflnto two boats. The boats were In a wretohed condition, fast filling with water, and could not have kopt afloat much longer. In fact tbe shipwrecked crew had experienced great difficulty In keeping them on top of the water as long asthoy did. The men were taken on board and their wants attended to. Theeiptaln'g name was Matbling, and the chief offloer's M'Donald, tbe crew numbering ton all told. On April 14, In latitude 20deg N., longitude 23deg W., the steamship Benhraok was sightod, and as the captain was agreeable the shipwrecked crew were put on board of her. The Benhraok belonged; to Llverpo6l, and was on a voyage from St. Vincent to Penrith.
