It will be seen by advertisement elsewhere that the fine ship Queen Bee has been laid on the bertli for London. We believe there is more cargo here ready for shipment than can be taken by the Queen Bee and City of Auckland, and as the loading of the former has b;en undertaken by Mr. Ebborn, we may expect her to leave, a full ship, in about four weeks. The Queen Bee commenced loading with gum on the Ist March.

The crew of the Banshee (recently wrecked), consisted of the master, Able Bent; mate ; Walsh, cook; and two seamen named Alexander and Murphy. When she struck, (lie crew took to tho boat, which capsized. The master and Murphy clung to the boat until the latlur sank from exhaustion. The master was in the water for seventeen hours' and was cast, ashore at Tumai. Mr. Wallace visited the wreck on the 3rd March, and reports that she is fast breaking up. There were no signs of tho men ; and no doubt they have perished. Waiv raoji the Sea.—'the following, picked up in a bottle at Mercury Bav, has been handed to us for publication:—''Ship Aclelia Cnrlcton, Boston, Captain Carlclon, bound to San Francisco from Sydney, five days out, 3i cleg. 4S mil).

The fine ship Queen Bee has made the vojaj!f> to this port in exactly the same number oi il:iys fH on her previous trip, when in pluirge of dpi. Leslie. On this occasion she U commanded l.y Capt. K. C. l>ent, a gentleii'.iiii Uglily s;>o!ifii of by I,is passengers. The ship, which ha* mvived in port in a very creJiluble slule, has had a fine weather pussage. She left Gravesend on the 2kh October, and the Downs on the 28th. The passage has, therefore, been made in 103 days, or 97 from land to land. The ship comes consigned to Messrs. Brown, Campbell and Co., and we understand she will load for home immediately on the discharge of inward cargo. The following is Copt. Dent's report of the passage :— The Queen Bee left the East India Docks October 22nd, 1870; Gravesend on the 21th ; and tho Downs on the 28th : landed pilot at the Start 8 a.m., November Ist; left the Lizard midnight, November Ist; passed inside of Madeira ; detained three days off the Canaries with light south-west winds ; passed inside of the Cape do Verdcs, and crossed the Equator on November 28th, in 27 deg. 25 min. west; sighted and passed Trinidad 0.,h December ; crossed the meridian of Greenwich, December 19th, in 3S deg. south ; crossed the meridian of the Cape, midnight,' December 2-llh j easting run down at a mean of 15 deg. south ; from 19 deg. west to 117 deg. east experienced a continued succession of thick, dense fogs ; passed the south end of Insmaiiia, January 25th, in company with tho Wild Duck, bound to Nelson ; sighted the Three Kings at 6 p.m. of the 4th of February • midnight of tho sth becalmed off Capo Brett ■ Gth and 7th light aira between the Hen and Chickens and the Little Barrier; arriviuc on the Bth at 1 p.m. On the 19th December Mr. Serdsfield died of consumption.

THE CITY OF AUCKLAND. The repairs to the City of Auckland are being rapidly proceeded with by the contractors, iles3vs. Beddoes and Ellis, and in a feiv days this noble ship will assume her usuai taut appearance. The whole of the cabins are being enlarged, and a few other alterations are to be made, which will greatly improve her. The decks are nearly repaired, with the heart of the kauri, some of the planks being 65 [feet in length. The whole of the cargo was discharged by Mr. B. T. Ebborn in a remarkably short space of time ; and the contract for repairing and re-shipping the goods is undertaken by the same gentleman, who is now busy re-loading her, so that before the end of tho mouth we may expect to see her again ready for s t 'a. Already she has on board a quantity of guano, oil, gum, &c, and is now taking in the cargo of the schooner Amelie, from Tahiti, after which the schooners Taivera and Golden Isle will haul alongside and tranship their cargoe3. The City will leave for London on the 30th March.

FOUNDERING!- OF THE BBIGr CAROLINE. By the arrival of tho barquo Janet Dalgleisli from Newcastle, on 11th Feb., wo have particulars of the foundering of the brig Caroline, whilst on her passage from Sydney to Hokiauga. Captain Ferguson, the master of the Caroline, and five of her crew, who wero picked up in boats, have been kindly brought on to this port by the Janet Dalgleish. Captain Ferguson informs us that the Caroline was bound to Hokiaupn from Sydney in ballast, and had fifteen loii3 of general cargo. She encountered strong easterly gales from the time of leaving till the 27th, at which time the vessel was in lat. 35 deg. 55 sees., long. 15G deg. 47 sees. At about 4 p.m. on the 27th the vessel sprung a leak, and continued to fill till the following morning, at 3 a.m., when she capsized and sank. The two boats had been got out in lime, but Captain Ferguson and the cook (Thomas Lawrie), were on board endeavouring to save the chronometer, &c, when the vessel enpaisod. Captain Ferguson fortunately succeeded in reaching one of the boats, but the cook went down under the vessel, and was drowned. Tho Caroline was the property of Mr. Koberton, of Sydney, and was insured. The following statement was mado on the 11th Feb., before tho Collector of Customs :— " Captain John Ferguson deposed : We left Syduey for Hokianga on the 19th ultimo with light southerly weather up to the 23rd, when the wind chopped round to the S.E., blowing a strong gale, with heavy sea, the vessel making a little water. The wind took up on the 26th at 8 a.m. The puuips wero used every four hours during the gale. Finding that she mada about I.V inches of water, all hands were ordered to the pumps and kept at them till 8 p.m. The water gaining on us, we lifted the pumps about a foot higher, and found they were choked, but continued pumping ; some baling out with buckets at tho after hatch. At this time, about 8.30 p.m., the water was three feet above the keelson. About 9 a.m., the cargo fetched away, owing to tho quantity of water in the hold, and ths pumps at this time having got choked altogether, could not be worked. I then gave orders to have tho boats cleared away. We lowered one boat at once, and placed two men in her. At midnight 1 had the second boat lowered. During the time the boats were being lowered, I had provisions put in the iirst boat, and prepared to leave tho ship. I found there was no hope of saving her, as slie was settling down very fast. At '2. 15 a.m., on the 28th, a heavy Equall struck the ship on the starboard beam, causing her ballast and cargo to shift, which heeled her over so much that the capsized. Tho cook and myself were on board at the time. Ono of tho boats picked me up. About ten minutes after I left, the ship sunk. I made sail for land, but was picked up by the barquo Janet Dalgleish on the morning of the 29th. The cook was not seen after jumping off the vessel when she foundered. 1 ordered the boats to keep about for some time, about two hours, but she was not to be seen. The following is a list of her crew : — John Ferguson, master; Chas. Marr, chief officer ; Jas. Franks, Jonathan Matthews, Thoma3 and Chas. licit, A.B.'a : and Thomas .Lawry, cook (drowned)."
