TltK East Coast M.Ui. S.-;uvu'B. —Some doubt exist-, as to the alteration in the dates of departure of contract ill ;il steamers o:i the East Coast. The steamer which left Auckland on the 3r.1. arriving at Wc'Uingt >n ou the 7th, leaving Southland on the thh, as now on the -Ith, to arrive i:i Wellington on the Bth, leaving as previously. The steamer leavingOtago on the 20th, and Wellington on the 25th, as formerly. Instead of leaving Otago on the 2'Jth, Wellington on the 4th, and Napier on the 7th, the se.'-ond steamer now leaves a day earlier in each case, arriving in Auckland on the oth, anil leaving Auckland on the 13th. This steamer is allowed three days inst ad of two to reaeii Napier, calling at Tauraiiea, and is due in Wellington on tiie IStli, instead of the 17th. The other, the third service, is performed as previously, without alteration.

Sjtk.vm Pi<st a l Commi*ntcatiox.—(From th.-» 77„/<-x, April 1.) —The following reply Ins been received to a mercantile memorial presented to the Post-oHiee, 011 the 12 011 i of January, regarding ;i weekly niAil to India: — " General Post Oilier, London, Inarch 3;). Sir, —With to the memorial which you transmitted to tlie Postma>ter-Gi-iioral on the 2u(h January last from merchants, banker?, and other-, irii-'rf*iiii? that ill-; Kast India mai s should be dispatched from London on the evening of every Friday—instead of four times in each month, i am directed b\ his Lord-hip to inf»»nn yon that this deparlmcuf has for a lo»ij time pasl been alive to thadvantage which would bo derived from an arrangement under which those mails would be df-patched on a fixed day in each week, but thai if-liui b -en deterred from tin: adoption of sueli an arrangement by the large additional expense which it would probably cause in a service already a h'.'av; loss. Any change in the d'i)* for the dispatch of the Indian iiijuU would, of course, affect the despatch also of the mails for Australia, which are carried as f,u' as Point de (Jalle by the Indim mail pickets, and in consequence of the receipt of the memorial referred to, the form of tender which ha i been is>ue t for the conveyance of the Australian mails had been altered, with a view of a?e;ilainini; what would be the extent of the additional ost for this portion of the whole service, in the event of the mails bein«* dispatched every fourth week instead of once in a calendar month. Tho tenders are to b<; sent in on the 10th of next month, and when received thnv will, in addition to other information already obtained, iilibrd tne ine:'ns of judging what would be the probable eo.-t of the entire service beyond that which is now jiaid if the proposed arrangement were c irried into cil'ect. I am, sir, your most obedient servant, F. llii.i.. Mr. R. W. Crawford, '

Tin: Pavama Service.—W<; learn tint the Ruthine, tlio pioneer ship of the Panama and New Zealand mail steam fleet, the launch of which we lately reported, was nearly ready for sea at the end of April. The other two boats, first to be provided, were not so far advanced, though in a forward state. The buil.iers had heard of the postponement of the contra':t, and hid deferred the construction of the steamers, contrary to the express orders of the contractors. Every effort was being made to get them finished, ami they will be fully ready to leave England in October or November next, so that the line may be commenced as soon as possible afterwards. It the beginning of October bo the time of departure from .England to Sydney the line ought to be ready for commencing the service from both ends in January next. But if the end of November is the date for the fir.-t event, the service ca-i hardly commence before March next. This allows time for rofittimr the steamer in Sydney after arrival from Kngland, and sup, o sr> s that tiic first ship will be waiting at Panama in good time.— Lf/ttc/ton Tn/itx, July 12.

BIOWINO-Ul' Of THE BUITISIC Sim- fiOCItKE. —A communication}} 13 been received at Lloyd's announcing tlie loss of this ship ny explosion and fire. r l'hc lioclioc, 1500 tons bunion, belonging to Dundee, was the properly of Messrs. Cox Brothers, of that. port. When the explosion took place James Janson, a hi seaman, and John Yearn, an apprentice, were hlowu into the :iir, and Soli into the sea and wcr- drowned. Tlio cre>v and passengers were all more or less injured, and <ome seriously so. The ship immediately burst into flam:.-', and with the greatest dilliculty the quarter boats were low,..red into the water, tome of the crew and passengers being compelled to jump overboard to s ive their lives, and all half-naked, there not being a possibility of saving a single article. Providentially tile >iea King, a brigantine, came to their rescue, and landed them all at Point do Galle.— IkH's Wc-lbj Mcssmgvr, April 15. ARRIVAL OF lUK YKRNON.—SIIU' DISMASTED IX A HURRICANE. Some little excitement was caused yesterday morning by tin- signal being- hoisted for a ship enteiing the port under jury masts, and shortly" after her name was teicgrahed as the Vernon of tvunev, New South Wales. It will be 11.collected that we publish'"-! some f.vo months since an account iVom tile Sydney pipers of tile tin; Vernon r-oinc; dismasted, and pnitio-r into Ap:a i'.Ji" repairs. This is the s:ime and lie.following nai r :t.ive lias noon l'urni.-!i.;d us by her eouimunder, Captain K. Murray, late of the baique Y'ary and Kdith, which was here a short time s:iie e from California : —

The ship Vnmon, 875 ions, left Sydney on (lie 291h Deaemoer, lSol, ior Shanghai, with a, etirgo of coals ;i;;d j'indal wnod, and got dismasted bv u h'liriYane - : ;i latitude 7 ° S., longitude 171 ~ East, on the 22nd .January. It first commenced from the Westward oil the 22nd, carrying away the foretopma&t, jibboom, foreyard, muintopgallant-mast, mainmast, 'with all attached,'*, f-pt uf the deck, This weather lusted until the 27th January, when it moderated, and tin; ship was- put under jury rig. Jt was also discovered that the starboard main chains and quarter gallery, port life boat and davits, all the poop railing and*a portion of the bulwarks had been carried away. The other life boat ic V v »kids and the wheel was

also smashed. After repairing the damages temp - rary, she ran for Apia, in the Navigator's group, arriving there on the loth February. Remained there fur months waiting orders from Sydney, and on the 15fh Jane paid off the crow, as there was no possibility of rigging tho ship there ; on the same day received orders from Messrs. It. Towns and Ho., her owners in Swdney, to lighten the ship, caulk her, and they proceed with heron to Sydney for repairs, then sending down carpenters for t'n it purpose. Landed tons of coal there and after caulking her sailed on the. Ist .Tuly for Sydney. Hail line weather after leaving until the Fojt'es, when she encountered strong westerly breezes and a choppy sea, which causcd her to leakin her topside* and bows. On Saturdav, it still blowing hard, and Captain Murray iindiiv that the leak increased in a moderate seaway, determined to run for this port, in order t > get repairs. Twentyfive lons of coal was thrown overboard from the forehold, to lighten h rr forward, but of no avail, and she kept making a foot and a half an hour, and the pumps had to be continually kept going. Accordingly, in lat. ol c S., long. IGS° 15., bore up for this port, having AV.S.W. breezes throughout, and arrived in harbour yesterday morning. "1 he vessel is owned by Messrs. R. Towns and Co., of Sydney, and alter getting a few sheets of copper put on forward, and her topsides caulked, she will proceed on to Sydney. The only places where she leaks is in the topsides and bows, her bottom being perfectly sound.

To give some idea of the state of tho vessel at present, we may mention a few items of her jury rig. She has a spare topsail yard for fore-yard, upper and lower mizen topsails laced together for fore topsail, lower forefopsail-yard for main-yard, topgallant-ir.ast for maiiitopsail-yard, topmast studdingsail-boom for spanker-boom, and a spare mizen-mast for mainmast. Captain Murray deserves great credit for the manner iu which he has brought the ship, through such trying circumstances, into port; we not having seen such a complete wreck for some time past. The Vernon has on board 450 tons of coal, 2 tons of sandal-wood, and a quantity of old copper. Messrs. T. Mack}' and Co. are her agents. ARRIVAL OF THE BELLA MARY. The fine barque Bella Mary, 276 tons, Captain Coppcn, arrived last night from nobatr Town. She left on the 6th instant, and had S.E. gales on the 9th, 10th and 11th, and fair weather afterwards. Spoke the Kniily Dov.'iug, sperm whaler, 7 months out from llobart Town, with 110 barrels oil. Reported the ltunnemede, of Hobart Town, 6 months out, with 300 barrels oil. Passengers—Miss "Ward, Miss Manning, Mrs. Hughes and l- children, Masters "Wilson and Lee, and Mr. McGnnness.—Stone & Son, agents. The Bella Mary's cargo will be found elsewhere. ARRIVAL OF THE S.S. QUEEN. Tho N Co.\s s.s. Queen, Capt. Cellum, arrived in harbour at 2 o'clock yesterday morning from Wt.'l.ington and intermediate ports, bringing a largo gen ia! cargo and several passengers. She left Wellington at G p.m. on Saturday the harbour being perfectly smooth, but on reaching the heads found a very he ivy sea from the nor'-east. Shipped several heavy se is which 'lid considerable damage to the fore part of the vessel. Made Castle Point on Sunday at 2 p.m , but was unable to communicate with the shore on account of the heavy sea. About 1 p.m. a light breeze from the nor'-west sprung up, which continued till reaching tho anchorage in the Bay. Left Napier on the 7th at 4.30. p.m. and had light winds fYom the west and heavy rain. W T hen oil Portland 1-1 tnd thn wind veered to S. W. and increased to a heavy gale with constant rain, during which the vessel shipped a quantity of water. The weather modi rat al oil'the East ' ape, and she arrived atTeuranga at 7 a.m. on the 19th, leaving again at 9 a.m., and arriving in port at tho above hour. Ihe Queen report< that the Egmont, hence, arrived at lauranga on Wednesday morning. ARRIVAL OK THE ELLEN SIMPSON. The clipper barque E'len Simpson, Capt. Poole, arrived ye,-!ei\iay from S'.diiey, after a line run of nine days. She sa;!ed on (!];• lllii inst., experiencing heavy [rales trom W. and \\ .S.W., ami line weather alternately ; ma le the Three Kiugs oil Monday, at midniu'ht, aial arrived in harbour at noon yesterday. She bi'ingsJi/O t-ris oal, on hales of hay, and 7 tons coke, consigned to Messrs. Henderson and Maefariane.

Tirrc WRECK OF THE ARROW. fur QueenscliHe correspondent supplies tho following account of the wreck of this vessel :—Tho three ma-ted fchooncr Arrow, lGfi tons, Dirk Cloosen, master, sailed from the Mauritius on the IStii May, and had line vrealher until the 21th ultimo, when a gale sprung' up from the westward. At night, tho weather bcame thick', and at live o'clock on Sundnv morning, the 2.3 th, the vessel struck on a reef, near Fitzmaurice Bay, King's Island, about thirty miles from the lighthouse. The first.sea that washed over her carried away the 'oo"ts ; and, as day broke, the crew found themselves about one mile from the shore. Two of the crew jumped overboard, to swim to the beach, but one only. Waltar A. Sears, succeeded, the other was drowned. As the cargo of sugar was

irriulually washed out, the schooner drove closer inshore, and towards evening the mate and another came ashore. On (lie following morning, the tide having left her, the captain and the remainder of the mi n "landed. On Thursday they fell in with two hunters, who fed rhem on kangaroo and wallaby, and treated thum to the best they had. On Sunday last they were fortunate in being taken off by the Sir Isaai IS\'\vton, Captain Hilton, and brought to Quecnscliii'e, where they were landed and forwarded on to the Sailor's Home, Melbourne. The mail for Meloourne being rather bulky, could not be got uflio-c, and remains in the wreck. As tho afterpart of the schooner is out of the water, the mail and a portion of the cargo, about 100 tons, may yet be saved. Tile ship's papers are lost, but the chronometer, which was tied to n board, drifted ashore. Jhe vessel was owned by Mr. Joseph ITeywood of Valparaiso, and is expensively fitted having been built for the copper ore trade, and afterwards used as a yacht by the British Minister at Valparaiso. Amongst other valuables left on the wreck are four fine brass cannon. —Argus, July 0. THE SHIP ERNESTINE. We regret to learn that the fine ship Eruestina, Captain i illan, R. JN T .
