At 3 p.m. on the 7th it suddenly shifted to tho S.W. blowing a perfect hurricane, with a sea, and kept so until the 10th, ""hen it gradually took oil'. June 12th experienced a heavy gale commencing at. W.N.W. anil suddenly shifting round to the S. W., with ficrce squalls and rain, during which she shipped a quantity of water. June 16th, it commenced with light winds and rain from N. N. E., afterwards hauling round by tho Kastward to S.E., when it increased to a gale, with terrific squalls and heavy rain, and lasted up to the 18th, when tho ship was brought to under lower maintopsail, and tho foro topmast staysail blew from the bolt ropes ; at 9 a.m. split the mizon mast staysail and main spencer, at the same time heavy seas breaking on board and continually fdling her decks; one sea struck her forward, starting tho bowBprit, taking away the figure head, and ripping 11 P the deck. During this gale the decks were continually flooded, her lee top-gallant bulwarks being under water for six hours, and the men constantly at the pumps, as also the cargo shifting over to the starboard. Between 2 and 3 o'clock on the 18th it blew a perfect hurricane, barometer down to 29 ° 30, when it began to rise blowy and the gale to take off gradually. At this timo it was discovered that the was making about 15 inches of water per hour, and tho crew came aft and had an interne" 7 with the Captain, telling him that unless something was done they would put into tho first port they came to, and preparations were then made to caulk her forward. From the 18th to the 27th light winds and calms prevailed, after that a heavy gale sprung up from the W.S.W., and continued till the 30th, when it ceased for twelve hours, and the wind went round to tho N.W., blowing a heavy gale, accompanied by heavy squalls, thunder, lightning, and rain j this lasted until the 4th July, during which the ship laboured heavily, shipping a great deal of water, and starting the starboard fore garboard bolts of tho bowsprit and rails, besides opening up tht, deck seams round the fore-hatcli and in front of the poop. Experienced a gale on the Bth instant, commencing at south, which lasted 20 hours. On the 9th sighted tho Poor Knights ; was abreast of the Little Barrier tho nest day, and arrived in this harbour at 11 a.m. yesterday. The Gravina brings a cargo of 12,000 sacks flour, and GOO sacks bran, consigned to J. Roberton and Co. After repairing her damago sho will proceed on to Sydney with her cargo. —Ibid, ARRIVAL OF THE TELEGRAPHS. The French barque Telegraphe, 287 tons, Capt. Desrogiera, arrived yesterday morning, from Tome, Chili, with a cargo of flour and wheat. She left Tome on the 30th April, experiencing Easterly winds for the first part, and N.E., during the remainder of tho passage. Passed within sight of Savage Island on the 22nd June. Owing to tho thickness of the weather she anchored in Tryphena Bay on Tuesday night last; got under weigh yesterday at daylight, and arrived in harbour, at 1 p.m. The Telegraphe brings tho following cargo : —2722 bags wheat, 2275 do. flour, and 35 do. walnuts, to the order of Mr. W. Brown, her super-cargo. —J. Roberton and Co., agents. —Ibid, July 13. ARRIVAL OF THE LITTLE FRED.—LOSS OF ONE LIFE.—NARROW ESCAPE. FROM SHIPWRECK. Tho three-masted schooner Little Fred, Captain McKcnzie, arrived in harbour on Tuesday night last, in a vcrv cripDlcd condition, having* lost her mizenmast, and narrowly escaping from being shipwrecked on the Kaipara bar. She took the pilot on board at Ivaipara at 8.30 a m. on Saturday last, and got undcrweigh with a fresh S-S.E. breeze ; upon tho pilot leaving her, steered out of harbour with a heavysea running, and occasionally breaking across the channel. The wind shifting to south, was obliged to make several tacks. About 10.30, when upon tho bar, she shipped a heavy sea abaft the forc-riggine, which carried away the mizenmast by the dcck, splitting the mainsail to ribbons, washing overboard the boat, which was lashed over tho main hatch, and knocking the captain, cook, and two seamen overboard. Fortunately three of them succeedcd in getting hold of eomo of the gear of the mizen rigging which was hanging overboard, and were thus saved; but one of the seamen named John Prowell was carried far away from the vessel and drowned, as it was impossible to render him any assistance, the boat and other gear having been washed awav. A large quantity of timber on deck, the top-gallant rail bulwarks, paint locker, and skylight, were also washed away, the cabin filled half full of water, and otherwise damaging the ship, more or less, from stem to stern, and the deck load was shifted over to leeward. Owing to the crippled state of the ship, a strong ebb tide, and the heav} r sea breaking across the channel, it was impossible to return to port, 60 as soon as possible the hands were got to work at the pumps, there being 2ft. of water in the hold, the ship trimmed, deck load re-stowed, ans the wreck cleared away. Sail was then made, and the vessel headed for the North Cape. Fortunately she was favoured with fine weather and a quick run round tho coast, arriving in this harbour at 7 p.m. on luesday last. Capt McKenzie states that he never experienced : anything like it before, the sea rising as high as the i mizen mast-head, and completely engulphing the ship. He thinks that tho boat must havo been j dashed to a thousand atoms, as not a vestige of either her or the mizen mast and timber which was washed : overboard, was seen again. "SVithin two minutes after the men had been washed overboard, thedrowning man, John Prowell, was carried a distance of over j 100 yard* from the ship on the top of a breaker. ! Tho Little Fred brings a car£o_ of 112,000 feet timber, consigned to Mr. Hall. —Ib\d. ARRIVAL OF THE VERNON. —SHIP DIS- | MASTED IN A HURRICANE.

Some little excitement was caused morning by the signal being hoisted for a ship entering tho port under jury masts, rind shortly after her name was telegrahed as the Vernon of Sydney, New South "Wales. It will be recollected that we published some two months since an account from tho Sydney papers of tho tho Vernon being dismasted, and putting into Apia for repairs. This is tho same vessel, and the following narrative has been furnished us by her commander, Captain E. Murray, late of the barque Mary and Edith, which was here a short timo sinco from California: — The ship Vernon, 875 tons, left Sydney on the w9th December, 186-1, for Shanghai, with a cargo of coals and sandal wood, and got dismasted by a hurricane in latitude 7 ° S., longitude 171" East, on the 22nd January. Tt first commenced from the "Westward on tho 22nd, carrying away tho foretopmast, jibboom, forcyard, maintopgallant-mast, mainmast, with all attached, 6 feet of the deck. This weather lasted until tho 27th January, when it moderated, and the ship was put under jury rig. It was also discovered that tho starboard main chains and quarter gallery, port life boat and davits, all the poop railings and a portion of the bulwarks had been carried away. The other life boat in the skids and tho wheel was also smashed. After repairing the damages temporary, sho ifin for Apia, in tho Navigator's group, arriving there on the loth February. Remained there four months waiting orders from Sydney, and on the 15th Jnne paid off the crew, as there was no possibility of rigging the ship there; on the same day received orders from Messrs. R. Towns and Co., her owners in Swdney, to lighten the ship, caulk her, and they proceed with hor on to Sydney for repairs, thep sending down carpenters for that purpose. Landed 313 tons of coal there and after caulking her sailed on tho Ist July for' Sydney. Had fine weather after leaving until the Fejees, when she encountered strong westerly breezes and a choppy sea, which caused her to leak in her and bows. On Saturday, it still blowing hard, and Captain Murray finding that the leak increased in a moderate seaway, determined to run for this port, in order to got repuirs. Twentyfive tons of coal was thrown overboard from the forehold, to lighten her 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. 31 ° S., long. 16S° E., boro up for this port, having "W.S.W. breezes throughout, and arrived in harbour yesterday morning. The vessel is owned by Messrs. R. Towns and Co., of Sydney, and after getting a few sheets of copper put on forward, and her topsides caulked, blio 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 tho state of the vessel at present, wa may mention a few items of her jury rig. Sho has a spare topsail yard for fore-yard, upper and

lower forctop*.d-jari:lc. ; tuddins , sui l-boom for for »' aiu °P Blul d L t0 \nizcn-mast for main-spanker-boom, and a .mrc for the =g^SSia;=s lUtacky and Co. are lier agenU.

THE SCHOONER INDUSTRY CAP3IZED. — NARROW ESCAPE OF THE CREW. During the past few days tlie weather has been very boisterous and unsettled, and at intervals some very heavy squalls have passed over the harbour. The wind has been chiefly fiv m the N.W-, and has at times increased to a heavy gale. At an early hour yesterday morning, the schooner Industry got under weight, and proceeded to sea, bound for Omah: but before she had proceeded fni',she was caught in a heavy squall which completely capsized her, and sank almost immediately, the captain and crow escaping by means of the boat. The following is the Captain's narrative:— She left Awcklunil bound to Omah at 5-30 a in., yesterday morning, and at ( J 30 whilst oIF Takapuna Lake there being vcrv little wind at the time, tacked and stood in shore, suddenly a heavy squall struck her before she got way on, and she immediately capsized, filled and sank. Luckily the hatches were on, although the tarpaulin had blown off, so that there was sufficient time given the crew to get safely into the boat, which was towing astern, before the 6chooner went down. They then pulled ashore and came to town overland ye-terday afternoon.

Captain Yates, who is an enterprising young man, has lost his all, being hard earning for several years, the schooner's cargo consisted of about £140 worth of trade, &c. She has not sunk in very deep water, her mast heads being visible at half flood. The schooners Helen and Mary Ann went down last night with the necessary material for raising her, and should the weather prove favourable, they will no doubt succeed in accomplishing their object.—Herald, July 18. ARRIVAL OF THE NEVA, FROM THE SOUTH SEA ISLANDS.—TEMPESTUOUS VOYAGE. The fine clipper schooner Neva, Captain Young, returned to harbour yesterday morning, from the South Sea Islands, having encountered very severe gales during the voyage. The Nova sailed from Auckland on the 2Sth May, and experienced strong Westerly winds until arriving at meeting with no trades. She passed through the group and arrived at her destination on tho 11th June, only 13 days from Auckland. She then visited the different Islands of tho Group, and Captain Young reports that he found all the Islands very much damaged from the recent hurricane which prevailed there, and that the islands of Mauka and Aitutake had suffered very severely. The Neva returned to Rorotonga on the 24th June, and after loading, sailed for Auckland on the 30th ult. She experienced no trades, tho prevailing winds being from the West. On the 3rd July the wind hauled to the S.W. and increased to a perfect gale. There was also a very heavy head sea on, and as the vessel ploughed through it, she pitched out her starboard head rails and suffered other damage. Tho gale continued with violence for two days, after which light and variable winds prevailed until the 9th inst, when she encountered another severe gale. It commenced from the N.W. and veered round to S.W. the sea running very high. During this gale tho Neva had a portion of her bulworks stovo in, heavy seas sweeping clean over the ship throughout the gale. Since then the weather has continued very boisterous, heavy gales of wind from the West prevailing until the 16th inst. She anchored off tho North Head on Sunday night, and worked up harbour yesterday morning. Her cargo consists of 30,000 oranges, 500 pine apples, 1000 cocoa nuts, 20 bunches green bananas, and 4 tuns cocoa nut oil.

The arrival of the schooner Neva, from Rorotonga, brings us the intelligence of the loss of another vessel at tho South Sea Islands. The vessel which we have now to record as being a total wreck on tho reef at Rorotonga, is the Bremen barque Frederick Martin, a vessel of about 300 tons, belonging to Fred. Martin, Victor and Sons, of Bremen. She was from Maiden Islaud, with a cargo of guano, bound to Falmouth or Queenstown, for orders, and had touched at Rorotonga for provisions and water. Captain Hasliagen and the crew of the unfortunate vessel, remained at Rorotonga for five weeks, and have come on to Auckland by tho Neva. Captain Hasliagen has furnished us with the following particulars:—"Tho Frederick Martin was loaded with a cargo of gnano for Falmouth, England, and on tho 22nd May, we called at Rorotonga for water and provisions. On the 25th, the wind was very light and changeable, with a strong swell setting on the reef We got under weigh, and attempted to stay her. She came round but owing to the unsteady winds, rapidly made stern way and subsequently drifted on the reef. Every eQ'ort was made to save the vessel, but of no avail. The water near the reef is at least 40 fathoms deep, and afl'ords no anchorage ground for vessels. Two boats were lowered before she stvuck, but were unable to keep her from going on the reef. A.bout 15 minutes after the vessel struck, she filled full of water, and on the following morning she broke up very little being saved from the wreck." We are informed that the Fredericli Martin was partially insured. Captain Hashageu reports that tho barque St. George, Captain Mercier, with guar.o from Maiden 1 Bland to Bordeaux, touched at Rorotonga in Juno l ith last for water and provisions.—Hid. DANGEROUS CONDITION OF THE SHIP DUBLIN. By the arrival of tho schooner Neva, yesterday, from tho South Sea Islands, wo learn that the ship ! Dublin, Captain Goff, had arrived at Rorotonga in a , very leaky state.
