The brig signalled yesterday morning anchored outside Rangitoto Keef shortly before 9 a.m, and, hoisting no number, remained a perfect stranger to the public until about 11a m., when two boats were seen pulling up harbour from her, end observed to go alongside the Bella Marina coal-hulk. Bliortiy after tbi3 they came up to the Waterman's fctair?, Queen-street Wharf, when two gentlemen and a lady landed. One of theße represented himself as the captain of the brig, and furnished the following report (which hut for the circumstances detailed below would have gone forth to the public as a correct one:— " The brig Hay ward, 250 tons, Captain Hall, from Adelaide, bound on a trading voyage to the South Sea Islands, put in for provisions. She left Adelaide on the 4th December, bound to ths South Seas, and experienced very bad easterly weather after leaving and almost until reaching this coast, which greatly retarded her pasßage ; and Captain Hall, finding bis stock running short, determined to put in here for necessary supplier." Upon Captain Hall coming in contact with Oapt. "Williams, boarding officer and searcher of H. M.'s Customs, his explanation was not quite so satisfactory, and the suspicions of the authorities were aroused. Captain Williams and Mr. Howson, H.M.C., ■with a full boat's crew, at once started down for the brig, and upon their reaching the north end of Ran- j gitoto observed the brig getting under weigh ; this farther gave rise to Kuspietcn, chase was at once ; given, the vessel overtaken and boarded by the anthorities. They had scarcely gained the main deck, when, judge their surprise, ihey found the •tranger not to be the Hayward, Captain Hall, from Adelaide, but the Rona, Captain Hayes, (of Black Diamond notoriety) from Hokitika. The vessel was searched hut nothing found in her; her papers were examined and found all correct, bearing date Ist January, 1867. Captain Hayes, in answer to their enquiries, stated that the Captain Hall wai his chief officer, and that he ought to have known better than to have given the vessel a false name, as he (Captain Hayes) had sent letters up to town by him to influential merchants here who knew better. Also that the reason he got underweigh again was, because lie had only the cook and another man left on board, and the vessel was dragging too near shore. Before however, the Customs authorities left the brig they turned out eight able-bodied seamen, stowed away forward. The Rona left Hokitika on the 2nd instant, came through Cook's Straits, and finding he bad not enough provisions to carry him on to Tahiti, bore up for this port for a fresh supply, but why with euoh a motive as he did we are at a loss to know. During all this tima&tho mate had obtained an ample supply of &c., (and f >r which, we believe, c.sh was paid), and was returning .to the vessel, when about half-way down he was confronted Sbytho officers in the returning Custom House boat, .

and upon being cloeely interrogated and reprimanded by them for making false declarations, confessed everything. Captain Hayes is v?ell known here among our Auckland merchants and others—as also, as it will be remembered, from reports that have appeared at the South. However, this time he has again £ot ofT scot free, there being no infringement of the Customß' Regulations, the clearance and register being all correct. The .Bona, we believe, proceeded on her voyage again last night. The Oaitbodia.— Another survey has been held upon this vessel bv ''aptain W. Gay,. Mr. J. W. Bain, nnd Mr. Hutchinson, assisted by Onptfcins Burgess and Butt. I'hey recommended the rniMng of her by means of pumping her out, and then her removal on to the hard near the Government wharf, Onehunga, so as to ascertain the real amount of damage done to her bottom. Messrs. Butt and Anderson's steam engine and patent Californium pumps have already gone out to Onehunga for the purpose, and it i-i expected that two days more will P ee the Cambodia raised and afloat. Ihe Hope.—By our last advices from Opotiki we are glad to learn that the schooner Hope has been successfully got off the bar there, and was awaiting repairs; she was etill in a very leaky condition. Tub Saucy Lass.—The s-shooner Bawey Lass Captain McKenzio, from Napier, the 10th inst, arrived in harbour on M ondrty niijbt ia*r, and reports vanable weather. She called at Mercury Bay on Monday» and sailed agnin the flame day. Tho Saucy left the schooner Tawera lying at Napier. The s.s. Mar of the South had arrived from Port Cooper, the evenin" before, and was to load cattle again for that nla-e °Tlio barque Ensign had sailed for London, loaded with wool; and the atrathallan was fast ailing Joanna. —The schooner Joanna, Captain Matzen, left Napier on Monday, the 7th inst., and experienced head winds for the first four or five days, then light and calms, arriving at Mercury Bay at 10 a.m. on Monday last. Left again the tame atternoon and arrived in harbour shortly after daylight vesterday in ballast. Keports the schooner Kauri bound to Wangapca ns lying at Mercury Ray, wind bound, and the bris:nutino Vistula, Captain Paton as sailing for Adelaide with sawn timber on Monday last. . , The Sex Brefze. —The Sea Breeze, which arrived from the Bay of Islands on Monday night last, reports experiencing very adverse and boisterous wG&tbcr, compelling her to seetc shelter twice in Wangaruru, and made the passage occupy five days. Bhe brought up the following passengers ttev. K. Burrows, Messrs. Eissliug, J. W. Lewis, Thompson, Gillies, Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Que, I Miss M. Que, Mr. Hickton. The Sea Breeze leaves again for Kus?ell at noon to-day. The Postbot. —The fine new cutter Postboy, launched at Mahurangi on the 24th ult., arrived in harbour last niijht, in ballast, in charge of her builder, Mr. Darrach. She is a sister vessel to the Bittern', of fine lines, and intended for the ttast Coan trade. The foiliwing are her dimensions:—49 feet keel, 17 feet 6 inches beam, 6 leet 0 inches depth of hold', 56 feet overall, and 65 tons builders'measurement, coppered and copper-fastened. Nbw Ooasteb. —A fine new cutter, named the Kineleaier, has recently been lnuuchcd from Mr. Beddoes' Yards, North Shore, to the order of Messrs. Preece and Masefield, and intended for the coasting trade. The brig Alexandra sails for Newcastle, JN. B. W., this day, in ballast. The Ivanhoe, for Moogonui, does not sail until this afternoon.

The cutter Smuggler sailed for Wangarei and Manga pai, last night, witn a general cargo and Beven passengers. •J ho schooner Fortune has cleared at the Custom? for Opotiki, with bricks, stores, &c., but doeß not sail till this morning. A schooner was sisjnallod in the offing at sunset ' last evening, but did not fetch the anchorage at a late hour, although the wind was fair. It is presumed that she went up the Ttnuki river, and will, no doubt, prove to be the Pacific, from Norfolk Island, with cattle. The cutters Wanderer, from Coroma r i<M, with sawn timber and 10 passengers, and Dawn, from the Great Barrier, with sundries, both arrived in harbour last evening. The Bremen barque Pauli, with a cargo of coalfro m Swansea for Valparai-o, was burnt at sea on the 9ih Sept-mher in latitude 42 ° 54' S. and longitude 52° 14' W.
