The arrivals yesterday were the Wallace and Dispatch, from Hokitika. The Wallace •will sail north to-day. We were in error as to the destination^ of the lizzie Guy. She was taken into Hokitika yesterday by the p s. Titan. The s.s. St. Kilda will most probably arrive here this morning. She is announced to be despatched for West ort, Wangaui, and the Manakau on Sunday morning. A telegram from Alexandra, dated August 4, says:— "The report of the wreck of the vessel at Mokau is corroborated. Some Maniapoto natives who have come back from that place say that it is true, but that it is a schooner with a cargo of warlike stores." The master of the Ivanhoe has been fined LlO at the Police Court, Auckland, for a breach of the Merchant Shipping Act. The facts of the case were that, on or about the 27th ult., the defendant wanted to clear his vessel to proceed to Samoa, but the Collector of Customs refused to give him a clearance until he got a certificated mate on board his vessel. The schooner was then cleared out to go to Wangaroa, and the defendant then engaged a certificated mate, who followed the schooner to Wangaroa, taking with him its clearance to Samoa. As soon as the mate arrived at Wangaroa, the defendant took the clearance from him, refused to allow him on board the schooner, and sailed without him for Samoa. The charge was a serious one, and the defendant had made himself liable to a penalty of LIOO, or to be imprisoned for six months with hard labor. With regard to the late fatal accident to Captain Hart, near Port Chalmers, the "Lyttelton Times" says: — "A telegram from Captain Wood, pilot, who took charge of the steamer Beautiful Star to Dunedin, was received this morning, and the worst fears that Captain Hart could not recover from his injanes were confirmed. The telegram states that, when within two miles of Otago Heads, at 6 p.m , on Thursday, be died, He bore up bravely until death put an end to his sufferings. The news has ca t quite a gloom over the port, and the greatest sympathy is expressed for the widow ami orphan children. The flags from the various offices and the shipping were lowered halfmast as a mark of respect to the deceased.
