The amount of water in the bolds, caused the vessel to develop a heavy, bst. and she. had to lie anchored, in shallow water near the beach in case she capsized. The- water was subsequently pumped out. and the cargo Iron! Nos. 4 and u 'holds was discharged at Somabara. - After unloading a quantity of cargo in Auckland'the Sussex is to sail for Wellington, Lyttelton, and Duiwdim to-morrow to complete discharge.
