The three-masted schooner Mary Wadley, Captain J. P. Balle, left Newcastle, N.S.W., on Tuesday, the 19 bh March, with light north-east winds, and encountered a succession of light easterly, N. E., and S. E. winds till Saturday, the 30th ult., by which time she was abreast of Cape Farewell. She then received light westerly winds with thick weather, which continued during her run through the Straits. She was off Cape Palliaer on Saturday night at 11 o'clock, where she got becalmed till Tuesday last ; resumed her course to this port with unsteady westerly winds and light airs all up the coast ; rounded Cape Kidnappers at 4 o'clock on Wednesday with N.W. blowing ; beat up the Bay and anchored in the roadstead at 11.30 p.m. She was brought inside and took up her old quarters alongside of the breastwork, and commenced discharging immediately. Sho brings a full cargo of coal from Anvil Creek for the Napier Gas Company. The captain reports sighting a large vessel off Cape Palliser, but being a great distance off was unable to discern her lines. The s.s. Southern Cross, Captain Holmes, steamed into the roadstead from Lyttelton at 4.50 p.m. yesterday, and was brought into the Pot and berthed at the outer wharf. During her run up, the Cross encountered a very heavy gale from the N.W., carrying away the trysail and forestay. She brings 1500 sheep consigned to Mr M. R. Miller, stock and station agent, of this town. Although the Cross received the full fury of the gale she landed the whole of her livingvcargo without the loss of a life, which speaks volumes for the arrangements provided and the careful treatment they received at the hands of Captain Holmes. She leaves for Lyttelton at 3.30 o'clock this afternoon. The Celestial Queen was signalled at the Barrack Hill about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and at 6 o'clock had made her way round the Bluff. She is from Nelson, where ahe has been aome weeks landing English cargo, and left that port for Napier on Sunday last, making the passage in the quick time of 4 days. She will enter inwards today, and commence discharging thereafter. The s.s. Wanaka, Captain M'Giliivray, arrived here from Southern ports about noon yesterday. She left Port Chalmers at 4 p.m. on Sunday last, and arrived at Lyttelton at 10.30 a.m. on the Ist; sailed at 9 o'clock that night, and arrived in Wellington at 4.30 p.m. on Tuesday ; left that port ior Napier at 1.30 p.m. on Wednesday, and arrived in our roadstead as above stated, after a passage of 22£ hours. Experienced light head winds from Port Chalmers to Lyttelton, thence heavy N.W. winds, with high sea to arrival in Wellington. From Wellington to this port fine weather. The steam launch Bella attended on her for passengers, and the Sir Donald for cargo. At five o'clock the outward passengers were ready to embark, but had to wait some considerable time owing to the Bella being engaged at the steamer's side with cargo. The s.s. Mohaka, Captain Baxter, arrived in port at 9 o'clock yesterday morning from Mohaka. The captain reports the entrance of the river to be in a very deplorable state. She was to have left for the same port again last evening with a part cargo of stores. A schooner painted white was beating about in the Bay all yesterday afternoon unable to come inside. It is no doubt the schooner Christina, Captain Edwards, from Auckland, with a cargo of railway iron and timber. The Christina left Auckland for this port last Wednesday week. The s.s. Pretty Jane, Captain Carey, left the outer wharf with her cargo of live stock, shipped by Messrs Kinross and Co., for Poverty Bay early yesterday morning. We hear that the three-masted schooner Silver Cloud, Captain C. Balle, left Newcastle, N.S". W., for this post on Wednesday last. * It is expected that the p.s. Manaia will be brought off the slip about Monday or Tuesday next. The s.s. Taupo left Auckland for this port via Tauranga and Poverty Bay at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and should arrive here on Saturday evening. She steams South at 9 a. m. on Sunday. The Wakatipu is only going the one trip to Sydney via Auckland, she being chartered by Messrs Bailey and Cooper for the conveyance of their menagerie to Auckland. The Eurydice, which was lost in a squall in the English Channel, was a training ship for ordinary seamen and youths. She was a sailing frigate, and was on her return from a cruise in the West Indies. She was a sixth-rate frigate of 921 (1014) tons. When last reported by the papers from England she was at the Island of Barbadoes, and about to depart for Bermudas on her way home, along with two other training ships, the Liberty and Martin. The Eurydice, 'which was placed in commission in February last year, was commanded by Captain Marcus A. S. Hare, had 406 souls on board, all told. The following are the names of officers : — Lieutenants Francis H. Tabor, Charles V. Strange, William E. Black, Stanley A. B. Burney; Staff Surgeon James L. Whitney ; Paymaster Frank Pittman ; Sub-Lieutenants Hon. Edward R. Gifford, Herbert S. Edmonds, Walter S. Smith, Sydney G. Randolph ; Surgeon, Robert Murdoch ; Gunner, Frederick Allen ; Boatswains, Wm. Brewer, Joseph Narren ; Assistant-clerk, William Lamont. Like the Gaptain, she capsized in a squall, and went down with "twice two hundred men." Great excitement was caused by the loss of the Captain, which was one of Captain Coles's experimental ironclad turrets, which "turned turtle " off Finisterre on 7th September, 1870,. a few minutes after midnight, and iv 10 minutej 469 persons perished in the waves. Subscriptions were raised for the relief of the widows and orphans of the drowned men, amounting to close on £56, 000. Captain Coles, the designer of the Captain, went down with her. No doubt the liberality of British people will be again displayed to succour those who are bereaved by this painful accident.
