A brigantine in the Gulf this morning, supposed to be the Star of China. She was advertised in the Sydney papers for Tahiti, after calling at New Zealand.
The Wellington Independent of July 26, states that Captain Darby of the Louisa Campbell reports the loss of the brig Nelson, on the coast of Brazil. The Nelson sailed from Wellington for London in December last. The account is not well authenticated, as Captain Darby says he saw the account of the wreck of a brig from New Zealand in an English paper, which he thinks must have been the Nelson. As we hare English papers up to the day of sailing of the Louisa Campbell, fCad can discover no mention of such a wreck, we hope the report may have originated in a mistake. The barque Mary, which left Sydney for London on the 19th of May, was wrecked in Bass's Straits on the 24th, and seventeen women and children were drowned by the upsetting of a whale boat into which they had been lowered. The cargo and all the mails were lost.
The brig Tobago, laden with coals, has been lost in Launceston river.
