This vessel so well-known in the iuter-colonil trade as the model cattl9 ship, arrived at Kolimarama early yesterday morning, after a good pasage from Queensland via Nelson. Captain «. Calder, who has.still the honor of commanding tlii fine vessel, reports having left Welshpool, on tb 13th nit., and after a run of ten days, arrived at Nelsoli having met with moderate westerly winds throughout. Immediately on arrival at Nelson, Captain Calde; received orders to proceed to Auckland, and having landed 83 head of cattle, sailed for this port on the morning of the 28th ultimo. She. experienced light northerly airs until makirig Maria Van Pieman, -where a heavy gale from N. was encountered 1 for eighteen hours. The wind then hauled round to S.W. with heavy rain. Rounded the North Cape at 4 o'clock on Saturday morning, and arrived at her anchorage at 8 a.m. yesterday, where she will discharge the remaindor of her cattle, 136 in number. The barque Prince Alfred, hence, was spoken off Cape Brett,'and the barque Glencoe, off the Poor Knights on Saturday. Captain Colder having discharged his cattle at Kohimarama will come right np to the Wharf, where the vessel's present fittings for the accommodation of cattle will be taken out of her and she will be prepared for the homo trade.

Her cargo is all ready for her, and she will proceed to load with all dispatch. The next vessel on the line will be the Island City. She is at present in Nelson with a cargo of cattle. The commerce of Auckland will soon make rapid strides, now that her merchants are recovered from the late universal stagnation of business, and are once more launching out in their old enterprising style.—J. S. Macfarlane, agent. We are indebted to Captain Calder for late Nelson papers. THE HARftIET ABMYTAGE. The bwque Harriet Harmytage was announced in the Sydney papers to sail fqr Auckland on or about the 26th ultimo, with a general cargo and passengers for the Thames diggings. This vessel may be looked for during the present week. The Novelty was to follow with despatch. SUFFERINGS OF A SHIPWRECKED OREW< The journals of the Mauritius contain accounts of the rescue, by the French brig Pionnier, of the passengers and crew of the Atieth Bahaman, in all 57 persons, who had bsen wrecked on a reef off Sandy Island, on the 2Gth of November last. All got safely ashore, and the second mate with several men immediately started in a boat for the Mauritius for assistance, and arrived there after a difficult voyage of twelve days. A steamer was at ondte despatched, but having met with bad weather at sea was forced four days after to put back. The Pionnier was at that moment about to sail for Madagasoar, but the captain, named Delaselle, determined to endeavour to reach the sufferers; he arrived off the island in two days, but the currents in those waters; are so dangerous, and require such great precautions, that two dayß more were occupied in getting the. ship■wrecked persons on board. They had then passed twenty-five days in a state of horrible anxioty, and at the moment of their rescue their provisions were almost exhausted, as three bags of rice only remained. Providentially for them their spply of food had been made to hold out by th&.circumstance of largo flocks ofbirds having alighted on the island, probably attracted by the unusual sight of living creatures in that desolate spot, and being so tame that they allowed themselves to be caught by the hand. The island, about two miles long, is almost destitute of vegetation. The only drink it furnished was a brackish water which rose through the sand on holes being dug. The sufferings of the shipwrecked people were increased by a violent tempest on the 15th December, which carried away the sort of tent they had erected for their shelter ; the wind was, in fact, so violent that they were forced to cling to each other to resist it. Ocb London Ships—The Constance or Racehorse, both due from London, may possibly make their appearance to-day or to-morrow. During yesterday the wind blew half a gale from W. N.W., and if the expected vessels were anywhere in the neighbourhood this would be a slashing breeze for them right up to the North Head.. . The Moa. —We perceive by the Sydney papers to hand that thi brig Moa, Captaiu Robertson, hence, had arrived at Sydney with a cargo of cotton. Sh was announoed to sail for Tahiti on the 30th ultimo. Novelty,—The Circular saw liner Novelty had no arrived at Sydney on the 21it nit.

Cornwall, arrived in harbour yesterday morning with 250 sheep, consigned to Mr. Buckland, having lost only one during the passage. The Huntress has encountered very severe weather during the passage. She left Napier on the 30th ultimo, with a fine southerly wind to the' East Cape; thence heavy N.W, winds and squalls to Bay of Plenty, The wind then shifted to the south, and blew strong. Sighted Cape Colville on Saturday morning, where she encountered a heavy S.W. gale. Hove-to under the Great Barrier for 8 hours, and at daybreak yesterday got a strong N.W. wind, which brought her into port. The Huntress discharged her Bheep at Kohimarima in fine condition. The sohooner Donald McLean was to sail from Napier on the Ist instant with a quantity of whale oil for Auckland. Janb.—The schooner Jane, Captain Finch, arrived in harbour from Tauranga early yesterday morning, having sailed from tHeric'e on Friday at 7 p.m. The Jnne brings up eleven passengers and no cargo.

Wbeck ob the Schooner May Qttbbn. —By the arrival of the schooner Fire King yesterday morning from the Manning, we have received the particulars of the loss of the above-named vessel. Captain Kendall informs ub that on Thursday, the 14th in9t., at 2 p.m., he was going into the Manning River with the wind at N.N. E., and had just crossed the bar when the current slewed her round, head out. A sea then struck her on the starboard beam, and threw her on the south spit, where, at the time he left her, she lay a total wreck. The May Queen was the property of Mr. Booth, of Balmain.—Sydney Serald, June 22. Wbbck op the Schoonep. Susannah.—Captain Loutit, of the schooner Susannah, timber laden, from Maryborough, bound to Sydney, arrived'in Sydney by the steamer Fire King yesterday morning, and" reported the lobs of his vessel in Crowily Bay. It appears that on Monday last she put into Crowdy Bay,in consequence of the strong southerly wind, left again on Tuesday, and endeavoured to beat up, but as tha vessel was rather top heavy loaded she did not make any headway, and put back to Crowdy Bay, bringing up with one anchor. At 3 a.m. on Wednesday a heavy easterly sea began to roll in, and Captain Loutit, finding that she was beginning to drag, let go the other anchor, the chain of which soon parted. At this time there was no wind, but the sea was increasing, and at 5 a.m. the other chain gave way, when the vessel drove ashore on a sandy beach. We understand that the Susannah is tho properly ot Mr. Wood, of Jervis Bay, and ia partly insured.—lbiH, June 22. The P. and N Z. Co.'s s. Rangitoto, having been thoroughlv overhauled, will leave for her station on the New Zealand line ria Melbourne on Tuesday, 3rd inst&nt.—lbid. MELBOURNE. CLEARED OCT.
