Sho left this port on Thursday evening last, arrived at Wang-a-poa on Friday, loaded on Saturday, sailed again the same night, and arrived bore at 2 p.m on Sunday.

Tub Fancv".-—Tho schoonov Fancy, Caplai'i Mustart, arrived yestorday from tho Tairua Saw Mills, bringing 16,000 feet timhor for tho Wharf extension, and 4 passengers. Sho left on Thursday put iuto tho Barrier tho next day, and sailed again on Sunday. Tho schooner Swallow was loading firewood at Blind Bay for Tauranga whon tho Fancy 6niled. Captain Mustart reports that tho Tnirua Company have "succeeded in floating down 1,000 logs ready for sawing. "An unpleasant accido-.t occurred on Monday oyoniug on board tho s s. Storm Bird, which had arrived from Opotiki with the nativo contingent on board. Tho Storm Bird was ordered to coal and proceed as soon ns possible to Wnnganni with the troops; about live o'clock, therefore, the signal gun was got ready to fire, to recall all who illicit he ashore, it appears that the gun having been loaded, was allowed to stand in tho position pointing across tho end of tho forcc&tlo, instead of being "run out" before it was fired. Just as the match was about to be applied, two of tho native contingent walked in front of it, and tho mate of the vessel, Mr. Bernard, steppo from his position beside tho gun to draw them back but ho had no sooner got in front of tho gun than it wont o(V, and lio received tho contents full ix the face; tho Maoris also received a Blight part of it, ono on the arm and the other on th« leg, but thoy woro neither of them much hurt. Mr. Bernard was at once brought ashore and conveyed to tho hospital, where ho was attended by Dr. Boor. It was found upon examination that tho flesh on tho loft side of the face was mneh lacerated and burnt, and the 1 :ft oye was also injured. Beyond disfigurement, no serious results are likely to supervene Tho two Maoiis who were slightly hurt proceeded with their regiment to Wangamii.— lndependent, Nov. 20.

The Bi.uk Jacket.—This vessel, which arrived at Lyttelton from Tendon last week, having had cises of small-pox on board, was ordered into quarantine. Tho Lyttelton Times, of the 25th nit., stales respecting her:—"No further cuses of.sicklies havo appeared, and those sick arc progressing favourab y. Tho saloon passengers continuo to enjoy good health." The L».ss of the Bomisay.—'.! ho officers of tho lato ship Bombay, who now belong to 11.M S. Narcissus, presented, on the lolhof August, a sword to tho French Admiral Chaigneaux, in recognition of tho assistance and kindness rendered to tho survivors of the destruction by fire of the Bombay near Monte Video, by the Admiral and tho officors and crow of his flag-ship Astreo. Tho presentation had boen delayed for tho usual formal permission to accept which tho rules of the service require, and advantago was taken of the celebration of tho anniversary of the birthday of Napoleon, and a dinner given on board the Astreo in honour of the occasion, to deliver the sword to Admiral Chaigneaux.— Anglo-Jiraziliau Times.

Nakhow Escape of tub Ci-ttkr Biissv, of Auckland.—Wo havo been furnished by Mr. George Banks, a passenger on board tho Bessy, with the following narrative of the perilous passage mado by her from Uo'iitika to Croixelles, whore she has ran in for shelter and repairs :—" Thursday, November 23, at 3 p.m., tho steam-tug Lioness towed us out over the bar, with u very light wind from the northward, and looking very dirty to tho northward and westward; at sundown, took iu a reef in tho mainsail, and aiado things secure for the night. Midnight, wind increasing with rain ; took in tho second rr.ef; a vory heavy sea getting up. At six o'clock, hearing a cloaking noise below, one of the passengers came en deck, and said tbo mast was breaking. 1 directly went to examine tbo mast, and found the starboard cheek of tbo step split off, and tho hoel of tho m ist resting on the Ekin, and sliding about iu a dreadful jorking manner, putting every ono in fear, not knowing which way it might fall. I immediately cut eomo thaws, and wedged the mast hard against tho kelson, and used good clout lashing on tho pert side, which mado the mast steady, and enabl-d us to heavo tho vessol to. At 9 am., the wind shifting to tho westward, wore ship, and stood to the northward, with a vory heavy Bex running, and only twenty-live miles from land. At 2 p.m., the forestay parted, whon our mint, our only hope, came staggering down with an awful crash upon the tafl'ruil, carrying away with it tho fore-beam of tho hatch, and tearing up a largo portion of tho deck, leaving it quito open, tho seas making a steady roll all over us. I succeeded with great difficulty in nailing down some tarpaulin over tho broken portion of the deck.' We all had several narrow escapes of being wjshed overboard while busily engaged in cutting away tho mast, and clearing tho pump, which wo had to keep continually going. After a few trials, we succeeded in raising our topmast for a jury-mast, set up tho storm-jib, and got tho vessel before the wind. After running before | the sea for somo time, tho wind hauled to tho S.S.W., when, seeing a fore-and-aft craft standing to tho N.W., we hoisted our signal of distress, but tbo vessel took no notice of us, though only two miles distant from her. Wo continued our course, and cleared tho land, and got up a second mast, which was formed of the main-gaff lashed down through tho after-part of the main-hatch, and set our gaff-top-sail as a lug, the vessel going at time 3 fivo knots, and running all night. At daylight, no land being visible, we hauled our course in-shoro. At 11 a.m., of tho 25th, mado tho hind to tho south of Wost Wanganui; at 3, p.m., saw a schooner astern, which came up and spoko to us, and proved to be tho Wallace, of Duncdin. Great credit is duo to her commander for his prompt attention in keeping by us until rounding Cape Farewell, as wo wished him to do. We rounded Cape Farewell spit at 4 a.m , on tho 2fitl , with o strong gale and a heavy sea, heading for Nelson ; but at noon the wind hauled to the southward. Stood in for Croixelles Harbour, and at 8 p.m., camo safe to anchor, evoryono returning thanks to tho Almighty for our miraculous escape from a watery grave. The cutter I'essy was built on tho North Shore, about four years ago; and I must certainly eay, had sho not been a most magnificent sea-boat, sho never could have stood such a gale under such circumstances."— Nelson Examiner, Nov. 10.
