Presentation* to Captain* Pile, or the Ship Strath don. —On the occasion of c t. Patrick's Regatta Tor 1864, Captain Pile most kindly placed his fi"e vessel at the disposal of the committee for a flagship, and it was unanimously agreed that some souvcni r should be presented to Captain Pile, for his courtes on that occasion, but as he loft Bydnoy, on hij homoward voyage, shortly after, the presentation was postponed. He arrived again a few days since, after a splendid passage of eighty-five days, and on Saturday morning a few of the gentlemen connected, with the late regatta waited on Captain Pile, on board the Strathdon, now alonside th« Circular Wh irf, and, on behalf of the committee, presented him with a very . handsome silver cup, bearing an appropriate inscription.—Sydney Herald, Nov. 13.

The Craigievar will soon be numbered, with the tilings of ibe past, she being rapidly broken up. The greatest part of the deok and bulwarks is already removed, and her hold in all its naked deformity exposed to view, discovering many ironbolta sticking through her timbers in places where the skin ha" been stripped off. The poor old brig is a melancholy sig!ii, Reiner twisted out of all shape,-her port side stove' in, the"ffi2;a and deck beams broken, and the portion of deok remaining forced upwards and burst in all directions. In every sense oftho word she is a wreck, and we should imagine a rather unprofitable one too for hose who have bought her, not a copper bolt of any sire being visible in her construction. She has broadside on to the surf, which every now and again is it strikes her forces its way through her rent timbers, and should tho enduing spring-tides be accompanied by a heavy sea she vill most likely go to pieces.—Hokitika Times, Nov. 16.

The work in connection with the re-launoh of the John Bullock is being actively proceeded with, and if equal energy is shown in future she will soon have accomplished her overland trip. Tho Maria is in a statu quo, and is getting deoper and deeper in the sand. It is said that a contract has been entered into for her beins put over the spit, and if such ii the case, the sooner the work is commenced the l etter. —Ibid.

A. '* emarkahlk Escaps.—We extract the following from the Cape Argus of the 18ih Auguit : —" A passenger by the tiarque Imogen, which left Algoa Bay on the 21st June last, has forwarded to us the accompanying letter from St. Helena, relating to us the mtnner in which a seaman was picked up by that vessel, having been floating about on a por ion of a wreck for seven dnya :—' St Helena, Saturday, 16 h July, 1860 Denr -irs,—Perhaps it may be interesting t) many of your readers to hear ihe following facts. As you are aware, the barque Imogen left Ogoa Bty on the 21st June. On the following diy th« captain, Charles Gill, of Gosport, 6aw at a long di-tance, a black point floating on the water. Although a strong breeze was blowing, and the fchip making at least e ght miles an hour, the captain recognising a human being, turned the ship round at once, and aft-r an hour's time, picked up apo >r shipwrecked saitor. The poor fell >w could aoarcly move bis hands; hiß limb- w-re swollen dreadfully, but. after a few /jays h* recovered. His report is m foilows ;_Thnt he belonged to the -hip D. L Sch 'ote, of Poitland. United States of America, which f-un-dered in the heavy gale on the 15th of June. The name of the sailor is Frederick Danker, a native of the Isle of Itugen, Prussia.ship foundered about twenty miles from Capo St. Francis, in lat. 3t° uoutb, long. 23 0 53 ea-'t. The crew of the unfortunate ship consisted 1 the captain, two mates, steward. (the latter wttß married, and his wife was on board) thirteen sailors, and two boys. He saw fivo men entering a boat, which is all ho can remember, but he belioves that- every one was drowned. The ship was bound to Falmouth for orders, and sailed from l'a. c »i -n, India, with a of rice. Too much praise cannot be given to Captain Gill for sa»ing the life of a fellow creature, who for soven days and eight nights was floating about on the top of the dec-k-house. without any food whatever. He took Bomn rum with him, but the Baine was washed away the fii>t duy. The man ia quite now recovered." SmPprKQ Disastkhs. — Two shipping disasters ciime to hand on Wodnesdav, 2nd August—the losn of the ship Fleetwood and the barque Louisa. 'J'ho former was bound from the Clyde to Mauritius, and is reported by telegraph from Suez to be lost on Defsan Island, but which doubtless is a telegraphic error for Dennis Island, one of the Seychelles group to the northward of the Mauritius. We are without particulars, the telegram, as usual in such cases, being confined to the bare announcement of the fact, but which by the way is qualified by tho word " total," loss. Tho Louisa was a British barque, bound from England wiih coala to tho Mediterranean, but -which took fire off Algiers and was burnt, her crew safely roachingthe shore.—Liverpool Journal of Commerce. ®Wp Duke of Rothesay, 999 tons, H niaater > built at Dumbarton ia 1864 for Messrs. Montgomne, of London, and classed A.l. at iJoyfl# tms been heard of sine# her departure

from Calcutta on the Bth December l-.st, and it is supposed that she has foundered.—Daily Telegraph, sth August. Successtpl Lauxch op the AY Air All a. . —Owing to the Bpiiited efforts of Mr. Thomas Kitchis, tli.s little steamir will be available for her customary trade this wool season. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that owing to n heavy gale on the Wo»t Coast somo four nwnths ago, she was run ashore six miles from Hositika to the Southward to save tlio lives of the orew and passengers. At this time she was owned by tho Saltwater Creek and Kaispoi Steuin Navigation Company, and slie was sold for the benefit of whom it may concern, and bought by her present owner. Under great difficulties Bhe was temporarily repaired, and at cmsiderable expanse launched on tho 9th of this present month—the launching ways ulono costing £300. She left for Nelson on ."-a'urday, therefore wa may expect her arrival in port in a few days.—Lyttelton Times, November 15. By a Melbourne lo'.tor wo learn that a new paddlogteamor oC 100 tons register and fifty horse-power, drawing only five feet of water, has been launched in the Yarra, and that offers have been made for her for tho Hokitika trade. Fatai, Accidskt on Boaed the Adamant.—An unfortunate accident occurred on board the Adamant off Kangaroo Island, which cast a sudden gloom over tho passengers and crew just as they were enjoying their first sight of land. A olear thongh succinct narrative of it is given in tho report referred to. The writer, after describing how the passnngerd crowded to tho ship's sido to catch the first sight of land, proceeds thus :—" Tho wind had been fresh all night and gradually increasing, blowing a point or two towards land, when nil at once tho maintop-gallant-staysail-sheet, which is Becurod midships, and generally lios along tho bulwark when tho sail is slack, came np with a jerk as tho sail filled precipitating a poor woman headlong into tho water, to tho utter consternation of the spectators, male and female, who happened to be collected in force looking at the gambols of a battalion of porpoises alongside. The doctor, sailors, boatswain, and mates had ovor and over again warned tho immigrants of the risk they ran tilting on th.so sheets. Mr. Kama ay, the chief mate, who is every inch a seaman, had a buoy instantly thrown from the po p witliiu a few feot of the drowning womiin, and was himself and fivo men down in the quarter-boat to the rescue in less than five niinnlts after. The cry of some one overboard soon went round the ship. The doctor, who is always at his p )?t, ran for his glass to watch tho boat, first in- ■ etructing his attendant to have somo warm water and restoratives ready. (Japt. L'onstordine hud promptly thrown the vessel to when Mr. Ramsay left with the boat, but from tho heavy swell running inshore and increased violence of the gale, this was neither a safe nor easy operation. After an interval of somo hours we discovered the boat for an instant about a gunshot astern, and could guess that they had beon unsuccessful in an errand upon which, without a moment's hesitation, thoy had to nobly hazarded their livei. The sea ran so high no one could expect the boat to come near the ship without being dashed to piecei. Mr. Kamsay, dripping wot, and standing in the stern holding the tiller-ropes, noticed the predicament, and shouted to us to let ropes down tho side for tho men to hold by if tho boat went. This was most fortunate as it turned out. .Next minute she was under the quarter, and the hooks from the davits in tho rings; but as they wero drawing hei up one of the hooks gave way, and if all hands had not had hold of the ropes they must have been drowned. With the assistance of thoao in the ship all managed to crawl on dock, more dead than alive, and tho boat was, with some troublo, pulled up by tho attached end without much injury. The unfortunate woman's name, we understand, was Rose Morgan, and it was reported she had some £15 of her husband's savings sewt-d in her stays."—s A. Register, Oct. 18.

Tim Alfobd (s.) —At tho previous meeting of the Ronril, Oiiptain S. F. Chatlield, late mas er of the Alford (n.), of Loudon, was presented with a gold wa'ch, awarded by tho President of tlie United Stutos, for services rendered to tho crew of -the Ami-rioun ship Borneo, of Richmond, Maine, which was abandoned at i-oa in February last.—Mitchcll'i Maritime Register, A.U!?. 20.

The Hobtirt Town clipper barque Isabella Brown, just itrrivcd from one of the Philippine Islands, reports that she loft Zebu ori tho 24th August last. Light southerly winds brought her to Capo Leuwin, and from thm.co she experienced modorato breezes from tho w. st as far n» Capo CKway. About thirty miloi off tho Cape she lay becalrnned from Thursday night to .Sunday morning last In la l . 21 d»g. 13 min. S , long 106 dog. 1(5 inin. tt., she exchanged signals with the Anglo-Saxon, bound to Natchitoches. The Isabella Brown was built by Koss, of Hobart Town, and this is her first trip tj this port, to which she now belongs, having beon purchased by Mr. S Lindsay.—Melbourne Argus, Nor. 7.

Hail Stobm at Sea. —Tho steamer Coonnnbara, from Newcastle, yesterday encountered one of the heaviest hail storms that has over been known to have passed along this coast. Capt. Adams informs us that the etorm came from the S.W. at haif-pa-t twelve p.m., and continued for half ail hour with terriffc violence. The lumps of hail that were dashed on deck wero about the size of goose-eggs. Tho steamer had to bo hove to. Those on deck were very much bruised by the hail, and wore compelled to seek shelter from the storm.—Sydnoy Umpire, Nov. 7.

Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron - . —The opening trip of tlie season came off on Saturday afternoon, and was, emphatically, u great success. The weather, which, in tho early part of the day had been overcast and threatening, completely changod in oharaoter as it advanced, and by noon a glorious sunshine and unclouded sky with a nice light breeze from S.E. bespoke tho ovent of a fine afternoon's amusement. Noon was the time appointed for the squadron to rendezvous, the trysting place, Double Bay, and shortly after that hour, the arrival of tho various yachts created a bustle and animation in this usually quiet and scciuded spot that was truly refreshing. The C'om'nodoro'ii splendid importation, the famed Alette, lay quietly at anchor, her graceful hull, and tall tapering spars, tho theme of general admiration ; and as the various yachts'■= arrived, they took up their allotted positions in two lines on the port and starboard hand of the i 'ommodore. Signal being made to anchor, furl s»ils, and dress ship, each tiny vessel was soon trimmed from deck to truck with a perfect cloud of bunting. Tho steamer Vesta, having on board a large number of the members and their friends, shortly after arrived in the bay. At l p.m. signal G3, ' Q-et underway and fall in in line," was seen flying on board Alerte, and soon all was bustle and activity —the signal being promptly obeyed—and with a light nortli-eaßt breezo away sped our smart little squadron, consisting of Alert'i, Era, Peri, Xarifa, Vivid, Mischief. Ida, Why Not, iEoid (C'uragoa). The Commodore led up the harbour and when off Fort Duuison signal 3G (Form two divisions} from on board Aloite, brought the yachts into two well-kept lin.'s, tho port division led by Peri, and starboard division by the vice commodore in his smar yacht Era. In this order the squadron reached Dawes' Batte y, presenting a really pretty sieht. As they passed the (Jove signal <>3 was then again displayed. and each yacht readily taking her proper position they tacked down the harbour, passing under 1 the sterns of H.M. ships C'uragoa, Eclipse, and Brisk, th- squadron exchanging the usual courtesies as they passed. After clearing out of Farm Cove the yachts formed line abroaßt to port of tho Comtnodoro, and when off Shark Island signal 26 (part company), terminated tho day's evolutions altogether. The result of the opening trip of 1865 was most gratifying. Tho various vessels wore in admirable order, and were not only well handled but tlie evolutions were performed in a highly satisfactory manner. The Vesta, after accompanying the yachts on their return as far as • lark Island, steamed ahead to Watson's Bay, and, going round the Sow and Pigs reef, returned to the squadron. Although the trip was not tho most favourable for a display of the sailing capabilities of the yachts, yet the weather, so far as the excursionists w6re concerned, could not have been more delightful, and. the enjoyment of it was. enhanced by contrast with the r lin of the two pre- < eding days. The party wis lunded at Woolloomooloo and Circular Qaay at about 6 o'clock.—Sydney Mail, Nov. 11. Wo regret to state that there seems every probability that the Susannah, the property of Mr. VVarry, has foundered at sea. She left Brisbane for Port IJenison on the 7th September, and was last Been off Keppel Bay, near the Three Friends, on or about 18th September, just beforo some heavy gales commenced. She carried about 35 or) 40 tons, and was laden with general cargo. Both the vessel and cargo aro insured, but not to their full value. Mr. Warry has received letters from Port Denison, dated 26th October, but the vessel had not arrived at the time. There were four men and a boy on board, including the captain, whose name was Firman, —Brisbane Daily Leader, 7th November.

ARRIVAL OF THE CELT. The fine schooner Celt, Capt. McKenzie, arrived in hiirbour early vesterday morning, aft«r a tempestuous passago 01" three weeks from Christchurch, Canterbury. .
