The cutter Vision, Captain Rrown, arrived i;i harbour yesterday evening from Mthurangi, after a quick run, having only left that port at noon. She brings seven tons kauri gum, 150 bags corn flour, 10 boxes eggs, and 10 passengers. Tho ehip Aliquis, Captain Davifon, cleared at tbe Customs this morning for Niccbar, in ballast, and ■will sail during the course of tho day. The barque Bella Mary, Captain Copping, arrived at Hobart Town from this port on the 13th ultimo, after a passage of twelve days. The schooner Eoindie, Captain Proctor, sailed yesterday morning: for Canterbury; she will call at Wangapca on her way and ship a full cargo of sawn timber. Tho fchooner Clyde and cutter Leo both cleared at the Customs yesterday and sail this morning, tho former for Wangupoa and the latter for Mcrcurv Bay. The schooner Falcon, Captain Owen, is alongside Custom-house-street, undergoing a thorough overhaul to her rigging and hull. Tho p.s. Tasmanian Maid, Captain Jackson, tails for Wangarui at G p m. this, ovening. Tho Circular h-'aw Liner Knt", Captain Carter, leaves for Sydney again on Thursday next. The rogular trader Glimpse, Captain Petersen, left yesterday morning for Wangerci, with sundries, passengers, &c. The ship- Francie Uenty, Captain Torranco, and schooner Killermont, Captain Gallois, wore botli to sail from Melbourno for this port on the 25th ultimo. SoT/xDixG3 of Newcastle Habhour, &e.—lt will ho satisfactory (says the Neivcaslte Teler/raph) for those interested in the welfare of the port to know that our harbour-master, Captain Allan, has been making a series of soundings during tho week, with a view to ascertain the depth of wator on the bar, and in the fairway of the harbour. In one of .the ncries mado at about a.m. yesterday, it was ascertained that tha*o was not less than 24ft 6in of water on tho bar, tho sea at tho time running quite smooth. It is still further gratifying to have ascertained that during the past five months tbe depth of water in the fairway has been gradually increasing, so that vessels can now load down to 22ft with certainty, and pass out rif port with eafety, oven when drawing more than that depth of water. Tho J. L. Dimmoek, a ship of very large tonnage, is now loaded and ready for sea, drawing over 21ft. There can be no douot that we have now pretty well got rid of the deposits of silt mado by the almost con tant state of fresh ui which the river was kept a year and a half ago, and that tho construction of the northern breakwater may in some meaemre have contributed to this result. It is probable that as this work becomes extended, a Btill greater depth of water than any hitherto attained will be found at tho entranco to the harbour, of which there aro already satisfactory indioations, Tho following vessels have been sold :—Brig Soots man, for £2200; brig Heather Bell, for £1600 ; 'and the schooner Cheetah, for £800.— Si/duey Herald Nov. 20. Repairs to H.IL Ships.—Dnring the past month H.M. ships Ourapoa and have had a thorough overhaul, tte hulls and decks throughout having been caulked, Mr. 'Cuthbort has had over 100 men employed on these vessels alone.— lbid.

Tho Spanish steamer Patino, reports that on the 3rd September, news reached Manila that a British ship, name unknown, ww lost on Scarborough shoal, with 300 Chinese coolies on board, bound to Singapore. Tho hows was received-through tho niato and boat's crow who aimvd thero. On the 4th, the Spanish Government ditpati-hcd ft man-of-war steamer to hrr protection, but it was tho opinion of tho comnmnHei of tho Palino th't nctliiiiji couldbo doiiß us there was n strong south-west wind Mowing at tho timo. mid I ho approach of the shoal very dnn*<;roiia.— FTomi Kmxj Mail, i-rpt. 11. Tho Shippiiii/ dazrJte says Iho discovory nas been made in L'nris.'that. on tho'mnpi of tho lastcontury two snittll islands wero iiuliontud hotwoen Ireland and Newfoundland, one called bv tho luonch Do Verto, at about lat. 47 N.. and lon-. 20 \V., from Paris ; tho other oiiH.-d lie Jaquot, int. 47 N* , l«:ig- 42 W. In the maps of tho present century these islands nro not marked, but it is thought probabb by the French that they still exist; if so, they could bo utilised in tho laying down of the electric cablo.

"Whoever may pick it up and publish it in the newspapers, for the benefit of science, will much oblige.—Alex. Young, Commander, barque J. E. Boyd."— lndependent, Nov. 29. LATIN OH AT MAHURAVGI. At nino o'clock ycfterday inorninsr tho fine cutter Hercules, recently in course of construction by Mr. T. Short, Mnhurnngi, was most successfully launched from hi* bnildine yard.

THE GALA. This fine ship which siilcd from Denl on tho 7th Septcmbor, passed tho Islo of Wight tbo next day, with a fair wind, and as she lms tho reputation of being a clipper, wo may expect her to make her number.
