C;u itom-h'ouso officers in conjunction with coastimarimen are noted for their smartness. A trining incident occurred yesterday on board the Star or tne South that shews that these officers can occasionally be too smart at times. Before the Star of ths South left on her last trip from this port for the South a seizure was made of bonded stores by the CMtomhousa officer, and after judicial enquiry the cas dismissed, and the stores ordered toJ*®. m . consequence of this seizure the pro pelled to purchase his stores retail at wch pon^ne steamer called at in order to keep th P' f res h plied. On return of the Star to Auckland £ fresh seizure was made, which only_ r , j out fact that all the stores had been of bond, and consequently not liabl , After due nateri with the Custom-house officers seal After mi enquiry- it was, found sho P ul°d P endeavour to protect the e *\^ a< l e a s b ca? r yl venting contrabandism, there is such a thing as carry ing a joke too far.

She drifted towards the bank, and about half a nule " lslde the Watchman. She filled and now remains in two fathoms of water.

ARR.\ r AL OF THE CITY OF AUCKLAND. The regular Auckland trading clipper ship City of Auckland, 779 tons, Captain Ralls, arrived in port > esterdar morning, from London, after a of 107 days from port to port. Slio brings a merchandise and a number of passengers, who in good terms of Captain Kalis attention during the vovn-<\ We are indebted to Mr. J. C. Irewin, c uof oiiicer, for the following report of the passage. Le»t London ISth May, and Gravesend next day. A J air wind took the ship down the Channel, and the Point was passed on the 21st: from thence \u. * . y. and N. winds were experienced until reaching latitude C dog. 43 min. N. on the Utli On the 14th pas.?ed St. Paul's rock, 41 miles N. of the hqu; .tor. Fresh S.E. winds were picked up in latitude 3 uof. -7 min. N.,aud were carried to 40 deg. S.,veermgoccauonally to E. and N.E. From Jr'yS, W.. N.W and ranable wiuds were CJiriied, and the meridian of the <~ap», parsed on the 13th July. Up to this fine weather was experienced, but afterwards the contnuy has to bD recorded, a succession of hca\/ gales having been encountered, considerably delaying the parage of the ship, sails being blown away, besides other damage. In making her eastings, the City s course I'-v within 41 deg. and 47 deg. S. latitude, and she arrived off the coast of Tasmania on tlie 20th August S ghted the Three Kings on the night of tho 31st,, anil squally weather with northerly and variably winds, accompanied by lightning, thunder, and nun down the coast. On the 2Gth Jul/, whilst m latitude •*- | deg. S., and longitude 57 deg. E., the barom»tter com- 1 menced to fall until it reached 29 dog. 30min.;.\ strong wind from the S.S. W. setin with heavy squalls, civing every indication of a strong gale. At i P«n-. the gale came down great violence, the saip being then under topsails and foresail. Shortly after the gale came on the foresail was blown away, and both topsails and the jib were blown clean out of the bolt ropes. A perfect hurricane setin from the S.S.E. at 10 p.m., with a terrific sea running. The sbip, which was 3hipping large quantities of water, was rounded to the S.W. A til p.m. a heavy sea came on deck, smashing iup the sheep-pens, and breaking adi.ft a number of cases of acid stowed on the deck. The same were compelled to be thrown overboard to prevent further destruction. At midnight it was stilly blowing a hurricane. At 5 a.m. on the 27th, the ship being liovc-to under lower maintopsail, the brace of the same was cariied away. The ship was as soon as practiciiblc wore round to the N.E., aid the yard secured. The vessel still continued to make very heavy weather, aud shipped large quantities of water. At noon the wind moderated. From this date the ship encountered a succession of strong gales from N.W. and S.W., and h»*avy squalls until land was approached. On the 7th August the lower was split to ribboas in a gale from the S.W. At noon on this day a large spar painted blue was passed. It is supposed to have been a deck spar. Two days afterwards the City passed a ship's Hfe-boat bottom up, and painted white. This was in latitude 14 deg. 23 min. S., and longitude 100 deg. 56 min. R. On the 12th August the barometer indicated 27*70. The ship was on this day running nnder lower maintopsail. This sail was carried away at 5 a.m. by the force of the \v.nd, and the foretopuiast •main-staysail split, compelling the vessel to be brought up to the wiud to repair damr'je. The wind continued to blow a hrrricaue all day, and during which the quarterboat was lifted up and unhooked out of the as she hung from the davits. Further mishaps occurred on the lGth August, when in 46 deg. 43 min. south latitude, and 129 deg. E., being the main royalma~t carried away in a heavy squall. On the 30th August the lower maintopsail was again split to picces in a strong N.W. breeze. L .nd was made next day. Passed the ship Miltiades, outward bound, yesterday morning at Rangitoto Reef. Brought up and anchored in the powder ground at 9 a.m. yesterday. One death occurred during the passage, namely, Arthur M. Hall, aged 9 months, son of Mr. C. LI all, on the 24th May.
