Arrival of the Steamer Bruce. — The p.s. Bruce, Captain Christian, arrived in harbour yesterday from Wellington and the South. She left Lyttelton late on the 28th, when it c»^»o to blow a heavy S.W. gale, gradually u.cr:«tsing during the night, obliging her to come to an anchor next mornir.g under Cape Campbell, where she lay until four a.m. on Sunday last, when she was got under weigh, arriving at Wellington at 11 a.m. We are indebted to Mr. Harper, the purser, for files of latest dates. The Proposed Lighthouse on the Snares. — The Argus says : — " The erection of a lighthouse on one of the islands known as The Snai'es, is proposed by the New Zealand Government as a subject for consideration at the forthcoming meeting of delegates from the various colonies. It is considered that a lighthouse on this group would be of more service than one on the Auckland Islands to the shipping trade of tho colonies. The Snares are situated sixty-two miles B.S.W. of the S.W. end of Stewart's Island. Little is known of them ; but tho elevation of the highest point of the largest island is believed to be about GOO feet above tho level of the sea. They are covered with scrub, and iramenso numbers of Cape pigeons and mutton birds frequent them. It is estimated that the cost of erecting a lighthouse there would be about £15,000, and that to maintain it (os four keepers would be necessary) about £2,000 per annum would have to be provided by the colonies." Drowning ov Two Passengers at Sea. — The Melbourne Herald, of the 15th January, says : — "Two melancholy occurrences took place during the passage of the ship Essex, which arrived yesterday from London. Ou the 11th December a passenger of tho name of S. Hunter was lost in a manner of which no account can be given. He appears to have been suddenly missed, and the supposition is that he fell overboard accidentally. No one witnessed the sad occurrence, and the fate of the unfortunate man is wrapped in mystery to which no clue can be found. Strange to say, on the night of the 6th instant, an exactly similar case took place on board the same vessel. In this instance the name of the missing person was Samuel Holstock. Like the other, he left no traces, nor is there any evidence from which to obtain a record of his end. It is only known that both these persons disappeared from on board the vessel, and no other inference can be drawn than that they were drowned, but in what manner is a secret that will probably never be revealed. The Essex adds two hundred persons to our population, the wholo of whom are reported to be in excellent health."

A Fast Passage. — A new Aberdeen clipper, the Thermopylae, recently made the passage from Start Point to Cape Otway in the unprecedented short time of sixty-two days.
