By the arrival of the Augusta, screw steamer, on Sunday only 10 days out from Sydney, we have received another addition to our fleet of river steamers. She is the property of Messrs. J. T. Peacock & Co. Her light draught of water, only 4 feet 6 inches loaded, renders her suitable for the river trade, although her engines are but of 12-horse power. She will carry 100 tons of coals, and under canvas alono she will run ten knots per hour. Capt. Arnold reports that on the date of sailing, January 14, no intelligence of the English mail had been received. On Saturday afternoon the City of Dunedin arrived, two or three days overdue; this is owing to the large amount of eargo received and discharged at the intermediate ports. At Timaru, on going down, the boatmen came alongside for (he mails, but declined to take tbe passengers on shore, a cause of complaint requiring some little explanation. The down passengers had to be landed at Capt Hoyd gave two of the seamen belonging to the ill-fated acbooner Herald a passage to Lyttelton, On her next trip #he is to bring down and return with the All England team and their friends on the 6th February. The Geelong will resume her station in the same trade •s heretofore in a few days. HEATHCOTE RIVER. ARRIVED. Jan. 21, Mary Ann Christina, 50 tons, W.

ARRIVED. Jau. 20, City of Dunedin, p.s., Boyd, from Dunedin, with general cargo for Capt. Sutter. Passenger: Capt. Sutter. SAILED. Jan. 21, City of Dunedin, p.s., Boyd, for Lyttelton, Passengers: Mr. and Mrs. Meldrum, Wreck op the Schooner Herald.—On Tuesday morning last Mr. Morrison, the pilot here, observed a ■mall craft running straight for the beach, near the Arowhenua, and thinking it very unusual, he watched her for aome time, when ne saw her strike; he immediately hoisted the signals for tbe boatmen, and with as little delay as possible the lifeboat was launched, and on her way to the wreck with a fair wind. On arriving there it was discovered to be the Herald schooner, from Lyttelton, Miller, owner and eaptain. It appears that about balffass six that morning the captain was called from his erth by the mate, who said the schooner was on fire; he immediately went on deck, and lifted up one of the hatches, when flames burst out; having again closed down the batch, he went forward, and perceived that she was sinking deeper; he then threw over nine heavy tanks, but it did not appear to ease her much. Thinking it was the only chance for life he resolved to run her on the beach, as he could also then save a largo portion of the eargo. Mr. Beswick (the agent), was almost immediately on the spot, and great exertions were made for the pretervafcion of the cargo, a greater part of which was saved, and is beiug carted into Timaru. She was laden with general cargo for Mr. J. Beswick, and aome lime which

she has on board is supposed to be the_ cause of the accident. We are sorrv to sav that a Mr. Bilk ot A.vow henna, has lost a large apartment of clothing Ac.. owing to the wet lime getting into tl.e eases. The schooner was not insured, und it will bo a very heavy loss to the captain and his partner.

The schooner Mary Jane, which, with other craft, was in a critical position at. Oamaru during a heavy swell and surf on the shore there, passed up to town in the afternoon. She reports the arrival at Oamaru of the schooner Waverly with timber, from Auckland. In consequence of the heavy surf, the star of Tasmania had very great, difficulty in shipping the wool which she had gone to Oamaru for the purpose of loading. Numbers of extra hands had been employed, but only a small number of bales could be got on board each day ; and it is understood that she has yet 600 bales to ship,**O.D. Times, Jan. 16. The schooner Camilla, from Lyttelton, arrived on the Ist, after an average passage. Captain White reports that the Windhover, brig, for this port, sailed on the 9th, having on board instructions and copper for the repairs of the barque Indus, now laid up in Saudy Bay. The Daniel Watson, for Wreck Reef, left on the same day.—lbid. The Conpedehate Cruisers.—^The arrival of the Vanderbilt at the Cape seeins to have been the signal for the Confederate cruisers to beat a retreat from that quarter. The Georgia made otf at once as if for the West Indies; the Tuscalosa, when last spoken, was apparently making in the same direction; and the Alabama, by letters received by this mail, seems to have as speedily stood to the eastward, for when the steamer left Galle her proximity to that port was felt to be anything but pleasant for the numerous fleet of American vessels, both thare and at Colombo. The mail steamer Shunlee, which arrived at Colombo from Bombay on the 30th September, was chased by the Alabama, but on British colours being hoisted, the Southerner stood away. It is reported she is en route for China waters. The Georgia arrived at Cherbourg on Friday evening, for coals and supplies. This arrival gives colour to the report that she, in company with the Florida, intended cruising again in the Atlantic. Times, Nov. 4.
