Further alterations are to be effected, and when these are completed, Captain Casey expectii to get 10 knots an hour out of her, as the little steamer made over 8 knots per hour yesterday. Messrs.

The schooner Jessie, Captain Miller, to which a casual correspondent referred in our yester day's issue aa to the probability of being lost, is, we find on inquiry yesterday, safe according to recent intelligence, having sailed from Russell to Gisborne, at which latter port she was loading for Auckland on the 22nd inst. judging from a telegram received on that date by Messrs. Niccol, Hendry and Co. Mr. Geo. Oaborne (late of the firm of Messrs. Osborne Bros., Thames) the owner, informs us that the schooner left Gisborae for tfiis port a d,iy or two ago, and may, therefore, be expected at any

moment. The achooner NeUie, C»ptaia Armstrong, on her late voyage from the Thames to Lyttelton, wns 25 days out, and jncountcred rough weather the whole of tho run down. The captain reports being under eloso reefed canvas th<3 whole time. She lost an anchor and 30 fathoms of chain in Kawakawa Eoads, but picked it up again. The following incident is recorded in the report:—On tho 11th, at 5 p.m. (just getting dark), Young Nick's Head bore west twenty milcn. Saw a boat with three people in her pulling towards vessel; tried to pick them up (being three or four milos inshore of schooner), but it fell calm. Hung a light in rigging till breeze uprung up, at 8, giving them plenty of time to come alongsido, if so minded ; saw nothing more of them. Kept the vessel on her course, thinking they had altored their minds and gone back, as it was very dark.
