The lino iron barque G. Broughton, Captain Kdkin, arrived in harbour at eUht p.m. on .Inly 17, after a tine run of 03 .lay> from Giavesend. Her voyage has been an uneventful one, void of the'usual storms that au> encountered on the way out ; hence the quickness of her passage.

Made tho cuatt of Tasmania on the 3rd inst., the we.Uher behiy most enchanting; from thence to Capo Maria Van Dieman's light N. and N.W. winds alternated with calms ; this headland was sighted on Thursday, the I:2th, and under the leo thereof was becalmed until the 15th ; a light breeze then sprungup, aud along the coast experienced variable weather.

ARRIVAL OF THE SHIP YOSEMITE FROM LOSDOS. The iron ship Yosemito arrived in harbour on tho 23rd July from London. She is consigned to tbe New Zealand Shipping Company, a;ul brings a large general car,-o, aaioni; which is the material for the new steamer of the Xorth Shore Ferry Company. The vessel coiiiOM into port in first-class condition, and Teflects credit upon the ciptain. It will be soon thai; tbe voyago has b:en void of any incidat.t of note, a fair run having be ;n made j.nt.il within a few lnilea of tha New Zenlind coast, when baniing winds were encouritored and the vessel wns dodging about the North Cape for several days. Tbe p.i*s ige which, up to sighting the coast, gavo promise of being slightly under tho average run, was however prolonged to 99 (lays from port to port. Captain Hay supplies us with tlm following 2'cport.: Left 3raves«nd A]>ril 14th, towed to the Doras, and there took departure with S.E. wind, which carried the ship right down the Channel. II;-.d light variable v.-iiids till carrying the X.E. trades in 22dog. oOmiu. X. Crossed the Equator in 2Gdeg. AV. on tho 12th May. The S.E. trades were picked tip in odeg.

The ship wr.s here baffled foe three days by light E.S.E. winds. On the 15th a gale from the eastward was experienced, which continued for four d*ys, varying from E. by X. toX.E. by E. The wind shifted to the..N.IV. on the 19th, and tbe Three Kings were made at 9 o'clock that night. Rounded the Xordi Cape at 6a.m. iiUt July, and had strong siqu.illy weather, varying from X."\V. to S.U*. down tha ooast.

At an early hour on July 1C information was received in town of tiie total wreck of the fiuo thrre-mastcd schooner Mera, Captain Loverock, !)oni,(l from Uokiatiga to Dunedin. The Mera cleared from this port ou May 10th, under the charge of Captain Pallant and a crew of nine. Her arrival in Hokianga was announced shortly afterivards, and she very soou began to take in bau!k timber for Dunedin. A series of mishaps then befel tho vessel, or thoso belonging to her, and on June 10th Captain Pallant was brought to town, suffering from a compound fracture of the thigh, caused by one of the pieces of timber falling upon him. Captain Loverock was then appointed to the command of the schooner, and took passage for Hokianga in the steam launch Lionel. The little steamer, however, had not gol far on her journey when, ill crossing the Manakau bar, sonio part of the machinery became derau;;ed, and it was with <liiDculty that, the vessel got into smooth water. This caused several days' delay before Captain Loverock could get to his* vessel. The loading of tbe schooner was then carried ou, and with 150,000 feet on board she made for the He.id.i, ■where she was viiidbound for about a fortnight. l'Voin the following telegram of our correspondent, and it will be seen that she had got out on July 14, wlitii. the wind failing, she came to grief, and is now a total wreck, her masts gone, and the hull imbedded in the imul. The vessel is almost new, and was built on the Clyde, and on her run to this port she made one of the quickest passages of the season. Her original cost was £3000, and, so far as we can learn from tbe Auckland agents, Messrs. Couplacd and Co., her bull is insured in she Xew Zealand, .South British, and Xational offices for £500 each. She is owned in the South by Messrs. John Lemon and Thomas Meek, of Oamaru, and Messrs. Keith Ramsay and James Ander;on, of Dunedin, who were speedily informed of their loss by Messrs. C'ouplaud and Co. The cargo was shipped by Mr. McLellan to tLe order of Mr. G. W. Binney, who is insured in the Batavia office for £440. Tbiti gentleman gave notice of the abandonment of the cargo. Tiie following is the telegram of our correspondent :—Hokian-a, Monday. The threemasted schooner Mera, 236 tons, Captain Loverock, bound for Dunedin with a full cargo of baulk kauri timber, went ashoro at the North He,ul at 7 p.m. on Saturday, and is now a total wreck. She had got outsi 10, when the wind failed ; the two anchors were let «o, which the heavv swell caused to part, and she drifted ashore. 'The crow were saved. It is understood the vessel is insured.

Intelligence received on 19th July from Hold aj:g:i state* that the vessel is rapidly breaking up, at d her timbers opening, aii'.l that she is likely to become a total wreck. Our correspondent in his telegram is more explicit as to the cause of the disaster, for bo states that on ''Saturday, noon, the pilot signalled for the schooner to take the bar, : a a fair wind was Mowing. Crossing the outer bar, the wind failed, and a heavy swell was rolling. The vessel hung with both anchors till 7 p.m., when the cables parted, and she went ashore. Vessel's back broken ; cargo intact; port side bilged." Mr. Binney, the owner of the cargo, received a message on the evening of the 18tb, stating that ""i he Meni's back was broken, and ship opening. If the vessel goes to pieces, the cargo will go up to high water, and remain there safely." THE CUTTER DANTE. The owner, Mr. Bradley, of the cutter Dante, v/bich was reported missing last summary, re.tuined from. Waiuku and the West Coast on the 7th July, nfter nn unsuccessful search for the bodies ef the crew. The coast from the "WaikiLto Heads, to Raglan was carefully examined but beyond finding sundry articles of merchandise and cooking utensils, similar to these which were on board the cutter when she left Onehunga, there has been no positive clue obtained an to the fate of the vessel. .She Was manned by two hands, named J. McMahon and T. Jones,' Captain A. Charman, and it is I to he feared she is numbered with the numerous ! casualties that have occurred on the coast within the last month or so. The cutter was , instiled with the South British. Insurance Com ' pany foi 5150. ; LA.T-NCH OF A KETCH. At an early hour on the 12th Juiy, the fine new ketch, built by Messrs. Henderson and | fjpir.ggon, w;.s successfully launched in tho ! presence of a numerous company of spectators, and, as the vessel began to slide down tho ways, ' Jliss Keane, in the usual manner, broie a-bottlo of eliampjigne upon the vessel's bow, naming her j ' \ enus, ' amid the cheers of those -." resent. As she flouted in the water, those verse"* iu the art of shipbuilding pronounced her a cn-.ft that M-ill maintain, both for strength and spi.-od, the well-known reputation which Auckland has gained 2S a shipbuilding community. Her lines arebuclias tu secure the most essential requisites in vessels, namely, tonnage, carrying capacity, speed, and seaworthiness. Her dimensions are—s2 feet on the keel, or ji feet over all; beam, 17 feet 6 inches; and depth of hold, 6-i feet; with a registered tonnage of 38*. She is ketch rigged, and is .found in all respects in a most substantial manner, and at a day's notice would be ready for sea. The length of time occupied in building, over fivo months, indicates that, no pains have been spared to construct her faithfully, the Whole of the work being done b3' the partners and their i'Ppreuucus. The frame is of pohutakawa, and her p!.,:ik-lt;g ;.nd decks of well seasoned heart of kauii, varying from -u to .'! inches thick, and in lengths from 40 to 50 feet. She is copper lastened and sheathed with Muntz metal, and is iu every respect finished in tho most workmanlike Mylr. The fittings of the rcssel ha? been supplied by Mr. D.'ll. McKcnzie, while: her rig, ie have been prepared and fitted by •Messrs. Wardle and Keynolds. One half of t.ie vessel has been purchased by Mr. i>. H. j-uelvcnzie.tho builders retaining the other half..
