Osrinthie, entertained a large number of citizens interested in mercantile and maritime - matters in Auckland on board the stemnar on Saturday afternoon. The CoriothK was thrown open feu public inspection on Saturday afternoon, and was visited by an enormous crowd. A charge waa made for admission, and a large asm waa

netted for the Auckland Orphans’ Home, which was recently burnt down. The color of the Austrian cruiser Panther, now at Auckland, and that of the British warships is almost the same, though the visiting cruiser is painted slightly darker. The Panther carries but a signal yard on the foremast and an ensign gaff on the znizzen-mast, relying wholly on her steaming powers. A relic of considerable historic interest was landed at Sydney recently—namely, the -tnehor of H.M.S. Sirius, tie flagship of Curtain Phillip, which was wrecked at Norfolk Island on March 19, 1790. For many years past unsuccessful attempts had been made to secure the anchor, the top of which was visible at low water, and it was always an interesting object to visitors to Norfolk*ialand. Pbe anchor, it appears, was blasted out of its in the South Beef about three months ago, and was towed alongside the pier ready for shipment to Sydney. It was on May 18 l(Oi. that Captain Phillip, having'hoisted hi* flag on board the Sirius at Plymouth as commodore of the squadron, gave the signal to weigh anchor, and the, ships under his command, one after another, spread their soils to the wind on their long journey to found a now settlement in Australia. Calls were made at Santa Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, and Table Bay, and shortly after leaving the Cape Phillip left the Sirins and boarded the supply, with the intention of arriving early at the scene of operations. Captain Hauler, the second in command of the fleet, then assumed charge of the Sirias, and arrived at Botany Bay with the storeshipa and transports oti January 20, 1788. The last fatal voyage of the Sirins was commenced from Sydney on March 6, 1790. She was despatched in command of Captain Hunter to Norfolk Island, with Major Ross and two companies of marines and about 200 convicts, and arrived off the island on the 16th of that month. The anchorage was by no means a good one, but the passengers ware safely landed by means of surfboots. The Sirius remained off the settlement awaiting an opportunity to land her stores, bnt on March 19 she was carried by the currents on to the reef, where she shortly afterwards want to pieces. ARRIVAL OF THE RAKAIA. The New Zealand Company’s steamer Rakaia, from London, arrived off the Heads on Saturday evening, and anchored until this morning, when she steamed into port, and dropped anchor in Koputai Bay, having explosives on board. On arrival she was boarded by Dr Hodges (Health Officer), and after the crew had been inspected, all being well, she was admitted to pratique, and cleared in by Mr Bandinett (Customs surveyor).
