Captain Jackson reports having left Auckland on May 18. a:.d experienced head winds and stormy weather until the 27th, on which day Norfolk I<dand was mad-*. The vessel was for 19 davs off the Island, encountering during that time a series of very lie-tvy gales of wind, rendering it impossible for the first 17 days either to laud or ship cargo. During the heavy weather the vessel lost two anchors but got another one from the United Mates whaling barque Kliza, which had been some weeks lying off and on from the Island, l eft Norfolk Inland on the 15th of June, and arrived at Noumea on the 20th, and left there again on July 2nd.

The hull is reported as settling down, and it is exceedingly difficult to get any work done now eic« pt in very fine weather. On Friday last, a hunter named 11. MTherson, while walking past the place whero the Netherby was wrecked, picked up half of what had been a full figure-head of »ome ship. The figure had been that of an Indian chief in full costume. To all appearance, tho figure had been in the water for about two months. It is formed of yellow pine, *nd is at present at the camp of the wreckers, in care of the diver's men. Some time ago, the wr#ckers' did a praiseworthy thing, creditable alike to their heads and hearts, and of which It is fitting that mention should be made. Amongst the bodies recovered from the wreck of tho t British Admiral, and buried on the island, was that of a girl named Lily Dale, and several vf the wreckers 1 early last month, while prevented by heavy weather from working at the Blencathra, made a head-board ' from a portion of the cabin fittings, aud after carving and otherwise ornamenting *it, they carriod it to the beach, where tho dead bodies came ashore and were birried, and erected it at the head of tho »?rave of Lily Dale. On the head-board is carved the following inscription;—"To the memory of Lily Dale, drowned In tho British Admiral, 23rd May, 1874. 'The Lord gheth and tho Lord takeih away; blessed be the name of the Lord.'" The men who assisted in making the memento aud carrying it to the spot an 1 erecting it, were:—J. M'Cormack, F. Lee, M. Kllyaid, E. ilalpot, J. Elliot, W. Hodges, and U. Mtcrs. ARRIVAL OF THE ALUMBAGIT. The powerful Sunderland-bullt ship Alumbagh, 1137 tons, belonging to lles%r«.

LOSS OF A SUPPOSED LIVERPOOL SHIP AND ALL HANDS. By the arrival of tho ship from London, we are placed in possession of tho following information by Captain Lowe, concerning a disaster i that has occurred at sea to some unfortunate vessel, the name of which is at present unknown;- Juno 24, parsed an abandoned ship close enough to mako out i that she was an iron ship, totally dismisted, and I floating very light; evidently been burnt out, tho stern being too charred to make her name; position, 20 dog. 29 min. S.. 31 deg. IS min. W. A full-rigged ship in company also saw tho derelict. She was apparently a vessel of between twelve and fourteen hundred tons." We find on reference to a late Liverpool IMercury that the abandoned ship has been sighted by other vessels and reported at home, such information being afforded that may eventually lead to her ident flcatlon. The Liverpool Mcrcmy, of the 25th June, reports that "late on Wednesday night, the French steamer Augustine Kdwards anchored off Falmouth, from Iquique for orders, and Captain Etchwary reported that on the 7th May, in lat. 27.35 S., long. 32.30 W. ; he passed a large iron ship, entirely burnt out, and with no slens of life on board. The sea was too rough to permit the boarding of the derelict, but the captain made out on ber stern tho letters *T. J.,' apparently belonging to the name; and ' L I,' being the commencement of the name of tho port from which she hailed. On Thursday, tho German vessel Theresa Beku calling at the same port from Mazatlan, her captain (Steffus) reports having sighted the same I derelict on the 11th April, in lat. 30.20 S , long. 34.2 1 W. He also saw no sign of life about tho ship. In addition to the letters • T. J., he also mado out * N.D.* i as pan of the name, and in that of tho port a portion of the third letter' V'.' was dlscernaWe, making 'LI V.* Fears are entertained that tho whole of tho crow of this vessel are lost."
