She brings a large enrgo of American merchandise, consigned piincipnllv to her agents, Messrs Batei, Sise and Co. Tho s s. Wellington, since her overhaul, is reported to bf able to surpass, in the way of speed, anything she could do previously ; and fully maintains her reputation of being one of the smartest vessels in New Z tula ml wafers.

Loss of the Ship Ouegov.— fey tho nnival of tho Mngeilun Cloud we hnve received the particulars of the Ioki of the above-named vessel The Oregon, owned and commanded by Captain Wilson, Roiled from S-in FmnciKco with a full caigo of wheat, flour, and oats, on the ltth of February, bound for this port. On the 3rd of April, during very thick weather, which for Home days previous had pi evented any observations being taken, shn struck on a reef nbout twentv-five tnili'q N.tf.E. of Convalli Island (Fijis). Fortunately the wfAthcr was very fine, and the crew were enabled to get. in the bonts, the vessel going bodily down within two hours of the accident. They ultimately reached Ovaluu in safety. Slie was uninsured.— Sydney Morning Herald.

Singular Invention. — M. do Coraux, a Lyonnete, lias inventrd nnd constructed a ship which cim loud or unload itself automatically in forty minutes. The captain and mechftiiician are the only living crew on board, the wojkiug and manipulation of the vessel and cargo being all performed by steam applied to most wcenioui machinery. The loading is carried on by trucks and waggons, which can contain corn, flour, bales, cattle, horses, bar re i, &c. The vessel is, a» may be expected, of a. peculiar construction ; but its exterior bears all the fiigns of seaworthiness.
