It will be remembered that a short time •& this vessel toon the bar whilst being taken Into Talrn*. out afterwards got off. She was, on examination, found to bo strained, and it was decided to return her to Auckland for repairs, she left Tairua at threo o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and had easterly weather to port. She brings, as cargo, 40.000 feet of timber, and anchored off Mechanic'* Bay. Captain Bower reports that the schooner Mary King and cutter M-gic reached Tairua on Wednesday last, also the cutter Mercury left for the Thames on Thursday. SKARCuroiiSc.NKESTKKASUßK.—Thesmallsteamcr Dido, owned by the Leitli and fondon Steam Shipping Company, was chartered te proceed to Vigo Bay (says a late Knglish journal) to assist in the operations which will shortly be ccmmenrc.l there for the purpose of recovering some of the valuable treasure which was lost at the end of last century by tho sinking of some Spanish galleons. An attempt to recover part of the gold which is known to have been lost has been long talked of, and it appears that an American, as representative of a company, has arrived in Leith for the purpose of superintending the titling up of the Dido. Captain Itay, of Aberdeen, takes command of the small craft, which will be provided with alt necessary fittings for prosecuting the search. Divers will be employed.

ICEBCRits on the P.ot7tk.—The dangers to which tho American liner< are expose J from th»* ice borne by the Arctic current which runs alonj; the Newfoundland cast, and to which are due the banks, the fisheries, and tho fogs for which that coast has lonr. been famous, are well known and dreaded by mariners at certain seasons of the year. It ouirht to be generally known that all this peril is unieccasiry, and that shlis, passengers, and crew—the two latter tot underwritten—are risked to save a few days In tho voyage. What that rlfk am tints to ii vividly shewn by the log Of the Hamburg stciroT Cimbria. which left Hint port on tho 10th of March for New York, with 4fe:i passengers and the German mails <>n the afternoon of the 10th an Irregular and brilliant mass bore in sight to the southward, and at the cry of Ihe look-out. *' Mountains of ico »-ic.id," all tho passengers hurrl-d on deck. A magnificent iceberg rapidly approached, until it dl'playd Its stupendous proportions lis sparkling peaksand slopes co\crcd with mow. at threo miles' distance. 'Hie .kipper, of course, gsvo It a wide berth; and when the sun had disappear, d, fortunately to give place to the moon In » clear »ky, th.i scene had chain''d. For miles on every sldo tho ship was surrounded by a field of lc-, onlv broken at Inter val» by the swelling of the waves. The c iptalr. turn' d her head to the south; but after some tluiu,

despairing of opening a way In that direction, isuaed ord«n to penetrate westward. andthaCirabria, until 2 o'clock Jn the morning, went gallantly on, her iron prow crashing along the ice. which varied In thickness from 2ft. to 3ft. Ittun water at length appeared, and the danger was passed, but the ship had traversed sixty miles southwards and then seventy miles in a westerly direction, before getting rid of the floe. Haa her course been shrouded in one of the fog* so common in th°so latitudes, or even had th«re I een no moon, the result might have been very different. It is a pity that thc«o risks should be run in any case; at all events, passenccr ships should be cowj-eUed to take a lower and safer route.
