Norris, sailed yesterday for Russell, with a full general cargo and tho following passengers: Mr. John Webster, Mr. George Webster, Mr. Russell, Miss Bussfcll, Mr. Kemp, Miss Crook, Mr. Jackson, and two others. Thb Whitby.—The cutter Whitby, Captain Doughty, arrived in harbour yesterday morning from Opotiki and Tauranga, with a cargo of empty casks, and four passengers. She reports leaving Opotiki eight days ago, and experienced very bad weather, being compelled to put into Tauranga wind-bound on Friday last; left there again on •Saturday nigbt and after that had fine weather until arrival. The Bella was lying at Opotiki, but there were no vessels at Tauranga when the Whitby sailed. She brings no news. Captain Doughty, of the Whitby, which arrived yesterday from Opotiki, informs us that whilfthe was towing the Government boat out of Opotiki on herway to Wakatane, a heavy sea drove her under the vessel's counter, and she Was instantly dashed into almost a thousand fragments. The boat waß going to convey a party of passengers who were on boa d the Whitby on shore at Wakatane, and they lost all their provisions, instruments, &c. The West Coast Times of the 4th inst., says:— "There is still no news of the overdue schooner Mary Jine, from Onehunga, the 16th April, with a cargo of Bawn timber. The -Mary Jane did not go to Hokitika. but to tho Buller, and from which place she has safely returned, and is now in the Manukau." The intelligence recorded by telegram from Sydney in yesterday's iesus, relative to the disaster attendant on the clipper ship Ethiopian on her voyage from this port to China, has a sadder complexion given it, in that her chief officer, Mr. Wm. Anderson, was lost overboard. Mr. Anderson was a native of Aberdeen, had graduated in George Thompson, jun., and Co.'s line of Aberdeen clippers, and, excepting one or two short intervals, nearly all his career at sea had been spent in their service. By his uniformly steady conduct and professional acquirements he had risen to the rank of chief officer. Sir. Anderson was chief officer with Captain Faulkner in the Transatlantic, and on Captain Fanlkner being appointed to the Ethiopian, on the retirement of Captain Edwards, Mr. Anderson joined him in the same capacity. He haß left a widow and one child to mourn his loss; and in this port, where he was well known, his melancholy fate has caused a sensation of profound regret in his circle of acquaintance. —Melbourne Argus. We are informed that Captain Lyon has left Hobarton Town via Launceßton. for Melbourne, to bring lieie the Havilah s.s., and that it is proposed by the A. S. N., Co. to place that steamer in the Hobart lown and Sydney trade; to run the Tasmania s.s., between Launceston and Melbourne ; the Derwent s.s., between Hobart Town and Melbourne, and to lay up the Southern CrOBS b.s. for a time with the City of Hobart s.s.—JJobart Town Mercury, April Amongst the exports shipped on board the b.b. Alhamhra yesterday to New Zealand was an item deserving of more than passing mention, not only as being a work of colonial manufacture, but aUo from the nature of the service for which it ia intended. The article alluded to is a lifeboat, constructed by the Messrs. White, of Williamstown, and built on the patent of Messrs. Lamb and White, the eminent boat-builders at Coweß. The dimensions of the boat are : Length, 30ft,; beam, 6ft. 6in.; depth, 2ft. 4in Besides possessing all the advantages of an open boat for rowing or Bailing in ordinary weather, these i boats have all the best qualifications of a lifeboat in I the most severe gale; they can be rowed or sailed against any head sea, which makes them of great value on a coast where there are no steamboats to tow a lifeboat to the scene of wreck. Lifeboats similar in principle and construction to the one just ] finished by the Messrs. White have been in uuo in I the Royal navy and in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's service, and although they have been tested for twenty -;ear» in no instance have they been known to capsize. They have no Belf-righting powers, but by reason of the flotation power being situated so high in the sides they are in no danger of being upset. A trial of the boat was made last week, and her performances in the water realised •very expectation. A severer trial of the utility of the boat will be made at the bar entrance to Hoiitik«, and should she be found to answer well, her snceess will probably lead to the establishment of similfw boats at the more dangerons points on the New Zealand coast.—Mel&otmii Aryu*, April

I The ATdbeg, for London, has put back for repairs. She anchored to the southward of the Bell Buoy I shortly before daylight on Thursday morning. Captain Hobson reports leafing the roadstead or> Saturday last in company with the brig Edith Smith, and after getting an offing to the westward of Kangaroo Island the weather changed, and the full fury of the late galo was encountered. The vessel wna in excellent trim, being 18ft. 10in. forward and nineteen feet aft., by her marks, and last year she loaded in Calcutta to s:oft. 4in.; but the heavy sea which was created by the storm caused her to labour severely. Being on tho 6tarboard tack the cargo settled to leeward till she had quite a streak of port list, and in this position heavy volumes of water washed over the waist till tho leerail was three feet under. At one period tho position was decidedly critical, for the wheel broke adrift, and was only secured by arduous exertion. Finding the whole of the port bulwark planking gone and no immediate prospect of a change, it was resolved to bear up, and she returned to the anchorage to refit. Captain Simpson and Dale surveyed the vessel on Thursday afternoon, and passed a high encomium on the master for his conduct during tho trying occasion. They ordered certain caulkiDgs and joinor'a work to bo performed, when shp -prill again proceod to eea.—South Australian Register, April 10. The splendid new iron clipper ship Underley, which recently arrived here from Liverpool on her first voyage, and which was so much admired during her stay in port, has returnod to Hobson's Bay, but under quite other cucumstancea than those which attended her first appearance. After discharging her very large cargo in admirable order, she left for Point de Qalle little more than a week ago a stately and gallant ship, apparently equal to any emergency, of wind and weather, and now she comes back altogether disabled, presenting from her deck upwards the spectacle of a complete wreck, and bearing decisive evidence of the very terrible weather by which she was overtaken. Captain Browne informs ub that he left Port Phillip Heads a' noon on Thuraday, the 11th instant, with a light north-east wind, and that light variable winds were experienced until midnight of Monday, tho 15th instant, when the barometer fell rapidly and a gale sprung up from the W.S.W., tho ship's position at the time being latitude 39'17 S., and longitude 138 30 E. Anticipating atormy weather, canvas was reduced and the ship was going under only three close-reefed topsails. At midnight of the 10th instant, the barometor stood at 29-10, the wind blowing a complete gale and freshening fast. At 4 a.m. the glass showed 28*00. The wind then blew with hurricane violence, the Bhip lying over with her rail in the water ; and to add to the seriousness of the contingency the ballast shifted and Bhe was thrown on her beam ends, the wind increasing very much. The after yards were promptly laid square, and sail was set forward to pay her head off, hut it was soon found that she was lying over too far for her holm to be affected. Th 6 mizentopmast was then ordered to be cut away, but oven with this help she refused to pay off. The position of the ship had now become perilous in the extreme; heavy seas were breaking over her, her decks were swept fore and aft, and by the surging backward and forward of one of the spare spars on deck, the iron staunchions, were carried away, thus allowing tho water to rush below. On finding that there was three fret of water in the sounding pipes, and that the hurricane was coming down with further and tremendous fury, directions were given for the mainmast to bo cut away. On the main rigging being cut adrift, the mast, although constructed of the best material and strengthened with four angle iron plates running perpendicularly, snapped short off as clean as if it had been deliberately cut through. The mainmast in its descent carried away the foretopgallantmast broke tbe port main rail, and strained the bulwarkf considerably. The wreck was then cut away to prevent the ship's aides being stove in, officers and sailors distinguished themselves by exhibiting the promptitude and willingness and cool judgment which the occasion demanded. On clearing a,wa] the wreck, the Bhip was got off before the wind, bul as the porthead braces had been carried av>ay witt the wreck of the mainmast, the ship was obliged tc be brought to on the port tack with her weather rail in the water. The sea continued running heavily, and hairbreadth escapes wero experienced by the crew who were frequently in danger of being swept overboard. In addition to the spnrs, sails, and othe< gear carried away by the fall of the mainmast, the long boat was stove in, and a new gig washed adrift. The weather, shortly after affairs had been partially righted, slowly moderated ; the sea also went down, and the glass began to rise. On tbe 17th the wind again freshened and blew a hard gale from the W. N.W., with a heavy cross sea running. At 6 p.m. a reefed foretopsail was set, and the ship kept away for Cape Otway, tho barometer again falling. The crew were kept busily employed shifting the ballast, and the pumps were worked by the engine, which had suffered some damage during the storm, but had baen again put in working order. D rom this time until sighting Port Phillip Heads the gale raged furiously, and was attended with frequent terrific squalls, and also with very thick weather. Port Phillip Heads were sighted at noon on Thursday, and the Underley arrived in tha Bay during the evening. With the exception of one of the quartermasters, named Bobertson, who was cut severely, and one of the seamen who had his han d bruised, there was no serious casualties to record. Another quartermaster, Thomas Jones, was washed overboird, but fortunately was hauled in again. Captain Browne bears willing and emphatic testimony to the courage and alacrity displayed by his orew, all of whom were shipped at this port. Mr. Purdy, the chief officer, and tho second and third officers are also highly eulogised for their valuable exertions. To the almost instantaneous giving way of the mainmast when the lanyards and gear weie cut away. Captain Browne ascribes the safety of the ship and all on board. Had there been any difficulty in effecting its speedy severance, the ship, he believes, would have gone down.—Argiu, April 20. In the course of a few months the numborof steam tugs in this port will in all probability be increased by two. These steamers, named respectively the Warhawk and the Mystery, have been purchased at home by Captain James Dean, in conjunction with a well-known Melbourne shipping firm, and are intended either for the Australian or New Zealand markets. Several powerful and efficient tugs have already been sent out te these waters under the auspices of Captain Dean, and there is little doubt but th»se latest additions will be found to have justified his selection. The Warhawk is- an entirely new vessel, and is in course of completion, her machinery not having been quite finished at the date of latest advices. The Mystery is of recent build, and in addition to hor other improvements sho was to be fitted with all tho appliances of a floating fire-engine—a very excellent idea.—lbid. The Ne>vcasth\ Chronicle of May Ist, says: " QmcK Passage.—The ship Norval, Captain Taylor, arrived yesterday morning. Bhe has made one of the quickest passages on record from Wellington to this poit. Captain Taylor reports having left Wellington on the 22nd ult., and clearing the Heade on the morning of the 23rd ult. He there met with an easterly wind which continued throughout the voyage. The only stormy weather experienced was on the night of the 28th, when it blew very strong from theeaßt. Captain Taylor was off Port Jackson on the evening of the 29th, thus making the passage in six days. Captain Taylor also reports that a new diggings had broken out near Kelson ; they were attracting a great deal of attention when the Norval left Wellington." Death of Oaptain Murray.—The following paragraph appeared in our last issue, and wo now republish it at the request of a number of subscribers who ore anxious to obtain copies of the paper to send to friends in Great Britain and elsewhere:—" By an obituary notice, which appears in another part of the present issue, a large number of. perfons will learn with much regret, that Captain Peter Murray, brother-in-law to ourrespected fellow-citizen, Captain O'Hagan died at hie residence, Watt-street, at one o'clock, on Thursday last. Captain Murray, we are informed, has been ailing for a considerable time, in fact, he has never been well since he returned in the Isabella Brown, from Maiden Island and the Mauritius, some four or five months ago. He died of abscess on the liver, at the comparatively early age of thirtyseven, and has left a widow, but no family. Captain Murray was an old resident of Newcastle—having lived hore for some 12 or 13 years—and by his genial disposition and urbanity, ho gained for himself a very wide circle of friends, who will deeply deplore his premature demise. All the vessels in harbour had their colours half-mast high yesterday, but ofrespeot to the memory of the deceased, and mast of the shops in the city were partially olosed for the same reason. His funeral is announced to tako place at three o'clock thio afternoon." The funeral of the deceased gentleman, we may add, took place at the appointed time on Saturday last, and was numerously and respectably attended, representatives of almost all the leading firms in the citjr being present.— NeutatU) Chronicle, May I*

The barque Constance, Captain Elliott, Bails for San Francisco on Saturday next, and will be followed next week by the barque E ever sham, Captain Sherlock. • - The clipper ship Frances Henty, Which arrived at the Heads from Mauritius, on Monday evening last, and which was detained there by reason of adverse weather, berthed alongside the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay Railway Pier on Thursday afternoon. The Frances Henty left Port Louis on the Bth ult., and on the passage.had alongrun of light easterly weather, the wind varying from N.E. to S.E. until close on this coast. The ship, a week before her arrival at tho Heads, was within 200 miles of Cape Otway. After discharging her cargo of breadstuffs'at Cape Town, and taking on hoard a small quantity of cargo, chiefly wine and fruit, for this port, the Frances Henty sailed for Mauritius, and has brought from thenco over 8,000 bags of Bugar, consigned to James Henty and Co. As usual, Captain Torrance has brought thia smart little ship into port clean and in first-rate order. To him we are indebted for Mauritius papers to the 7th ult.—Melbourne Argus, April 20.
