The first half of the name-board is mis ing: the remainder appears to have been only a short time in the water. The auxiliary-screw barquentine Emu, Captain O'Connell, arrived at Levuka on the 7th inst. from this port, a few hours after the Star of the South, who passed her off Kadavu.

The defendant* had got helplessly -drunk from a ca-k of wine, to get at which they had ttsed a naked lU'ht in the bold. One of th* magistritei expressed his belief that acts of this sort were the cause of the destruction by fire of many ships.

l'erliaps one of the neatest models of vessels built at this port 1» so be found in tho schooner Agnes Donald, which came over yesterday from the North ■ Shore.' There Is no doubt that she will give a good 1 account of herself, and thus add to' the fame of her builder Mr C. B illov, who has turned out a few pretty craft before her, but uone so pretty as she. The schooner is announced to loavo for the East Coast tomorrow. , , , By a tolcgram received by tho manager of the A.S.P. Co., it appears that the new steamer Llewellyn has been docked since - her arrival at Sydney, and appiovcd of by Captain Holmes.

Will carry about 90 tons. She will be fitted with a pair of compound engines, nominal strength 30 hp , but which will be capable of working up to ISO. .-he is to be employed in thi! bade between Wellington and Napier. A second steamer of similar dimensions is being built for a Napier arm, Messrs. Richardson and Campbell. Both steamers are to be completed about the end of October. The barque Union. 301 tons, Captain Sherlock, arrived in harbour yesterday morning from Newcastle, after a quick passage across of seven itays. Captab' Sherlock reports arriviug at Newcastle on the 3rd instant, from I.yttelton, and having loaded with Greta coal sailed at fl p.m on the 12th fur this pert. -VK. winds were experienced for the first 43 hours, then strong northerly weather. Made the Tbrco Kings on Monday afternoon last, and rounded tho North Cape at 11 pm same dav. Down the coast, thick dirty weather. Reached Tiritiri on Monday evening, but was becalmed until 2 o'clock yesterday morning. Rounded the North ileal at 9 am., and came to an anchoracc otr Holxon's Bay. n westerly wind and ebb tide prevention the vessel from reaching up harbour. Tlie Union >s consigned to Messrs. Stono Brothers. We arclindebtcd to Captain Slicrlock for late Sydncr and Newcastle pipers. The barque Lnchnagar, Captain Kelly, arrivod at Newcastle from Dunedln on the 3rd July. The barque Stag. Captain Kerr, arrived at Newcastle from Sydney on the 4th Instant, and was ready to :ail for Auckland with 510 tons coal, when the Union left. The brig Isabellas, Captain Greenwood, left Newcastle for Tahiti on the Sth instant. The barque Vivid arrived at Sydney from Circular Head on the 7th instant. The ship Baron Aberdare, from this port, was loading at Newcastlo for San Francisco on tho 12th Inst According to a late Melbourne paper a handsome testimonial has been presented to Captain Calder. of the steamer Omeo, for the skill and courage he displayed during the late severe gale on his passage from New Zealand. All recent foreign arrivals had very severe weather. The wrecked ship Result (late Polar Star) at Port Stephens is aground in 12 feet water at half-ebb, on the bank abreast of the Sandspit abovo Nelson Head, ship heading to tho eastward. She Is lying on an even bottom of sand, and has hardenod up on the bank. The vessel is but little strained, and arrangements have been entered into by tho insurance companies interested with a Arm in Newcastle to lighton and float her. The undertaking bids fair to be a comparatively easy task, should the weather continue fine. Strandino of tiie a.s. Susannah Cittiibert.— The Sydney Morning Herald of the Sth July gives the following account of th* wreck of this steamer:—She was commanded by Captain Wallbrook, and left Cathrino Hill Bay with a c3rgo of coal on the Cth instant, for Sydney, The night was very dark, and the atmosphere hazy. About 5 o'clock on Wednosday morning, the steamer struck on the outer edgo of Long Reef— the vessel's proximity to land not apparent nor expected from tho course steered. After touching the rocks her machinery became disabled, and she was drifted ashore by the sea until she settled off Jenkins I'oint, in about seven feet of water. In a short time the decks began to open amidships, and fearing a total break up, the crew landed after daylight, some coming to Sydney, via Manly Beach, and a portion remaining close to the wreck, to save anything that might come ashore. Tho captain, before abandoning the ship, again went on board, and found that an iron scraper had been left in close proximity to the compass, which would account for the deviation. Captain Pockley, marine surveyor, on b.'half of the Pacific Company, in which ollice the steamer is insured, proceeded yesterday afternoon, by the Manly Beach steamer, to the scene of the disaster. The steamer is insured in the raciflc office for £. r >ooo, of which £4000 is reinsured. By a late telegram received in Newcastle before the departure of the barque Union, we learn that Captain Pockley reports that the vessel is lying within fifty feet from the shore; the main and mizeumasts are gone, also the funnel and donkey engice. The decks have given way, and the sea is breaking clean through the port sido. The vessel is a hopeless wreck, and fast breaking up. Wreck of tiik Bltio Ben Nr.vis.—Tho following statement by Captain Jones has been made regarding the loss of this vessel, owned in Melbourne, and well known at this port: - Whilst lying at Port Stephens, inside of Middle Rank, with 90 fathoms, and 05 fathoms of chain out. on Wednesday morning, 30th June, the sea was running very high from the eastward, and it was still blowing hard from thoS.W. J lie vcsel was dragging her anchors, with every sea that came along breaking clean over her. Signals of distress were flying all day for assistance, as we liad no boats on board, they having been swept away before arriving at Port Stephens. Signals of distress were flying for two days and no notice whatever was taken by the shore stations nor the three steamers that were lying in Nelson's Bay. Had tho steamers came down the first day the signals were flying, it is very likely that the vessel might have been taken to safety. One of thera got up steam after she struck the ground, but it was too late then, as she would only have been in danger herself had she come near the ve-sel. Great credit is due to tho crew for their utmost exertions in trying to save the vessel. I must here mention especially the galUnt condu t of one of the setnien, Michael Mahoney, for putting otr on the life buoy and thereby getting a line on shore, which enabled us to be pulled ashore, with the assistance of the shore residents, who behaved very kindly to us all. such as supplying us with a few meals and articles of clothing. If it had not been for Muhoney I bebeve wc would never have reached th : shore. 1 must also mention thi.t the only unkinduess we receive' waf after arriving at Stockton, when asking if we could be supplied with anytlrng to eat or a place to stop for the night, at the Geueral Washington Hotel, 1 was inform.ed by the landlord and landlady that I could not have anything—that they only had enough in tho house for themselves. ARRIVAL OF TIIE STAB OF THE SOUTn. The A.S.P. Co.'s mail steamer Star of the South, 172 tons, Captain W. H Palmer, arrived in port yesterday afternoon from Levuka, with a full cargo of maize, .Vc, and several passengers. Of the down passage. Captain Palmer reports having left Auckland on the night of the 2Sth ult., and arrived at Levuka at 9 p.m. on the Ihh instant, having experienced very nasty weather until almost within the Group. Slie left again for Auckland at midnight of the 12th Insr-, and for the first four dsys encountered a hard S.E. irale, then fine weather until Monday: made the Poor Knights at 10 p.m. on that day. Thick, dirty weather was experienced down tho Coast. Tho steamer was reported at the Customs immediately on arrival, to fac litate the discharge of her cargo. She is announced to leave for Napier and Southern ports at noon to-morrow. We are indebted to Captain Palmer for tiles ot late Fiji pipers.
