The brigantine Marshall S., outward bound for OtmartL, made an endeavour to get to sea yesterday, but a N.E. wind and flood tide proved too ranch for Captain Craig, so anchor had again to be dropped at the man-o'-war ground. Captain Craig hoped to get away on last night's ebb. The brigantine returns back again dirfjetwith a cargo of grain. The preliminary inquiry into the cause of the collision between the s.s, Eowena and barge Kauri was held yesterday before the Collector of Ctmoms, in his office. The evidence of Captain Norris and two of his deck hands, of the Eowena, andl-Captain McDermott and one of his hands, was taken, and, as may be imagined, was of a most conflicting nature, each master maintaining that he was In the right and that the other was td blame. Mr. Hill, afte.hearing 1 ' the evidence, decided to send the matter '• before a Nautical Court for full inquiry. 'The case will probably be heard early in the ensuing week. The- ketch. Opotlki. from Opotiki and East Coast ports., with 1350 puriri posts, and the - schooner O'potilri, from the same port, arrived about the'same time. The latter brings a cargo of 80 toDs coal. The schooner Griffin, from Bussell, brings a cargo,of '80 tons coal. ThcV brig Annabel], from Newcastle, with a cargo, of coal, came into harbour yesterday after a somewhat long passage of 20 days, which is accounted' for by the long prevalence of head winds.! .Newcastle was left on the sth inst. with moderate N.E. winds, which veered to the E. and S.E., freshening up to a hard gale on the 7th,, .which lasted until the 9th, with a high confused sea. On the latter date the wind again hauled to the eastward, and blew with even greater violence, and this continued until the. loth,'' when the weather took a favourable turn,' and moderated somewhat. During the height" of' the gale the lower main-topsail yard was carried away, and the fore-topsail yard was turned in. -the bandi. On the 14th the weather had. sufficiently moderatad that sail was again made; from thence E.N.E. to S.E. winds prevaaed to arrival. The Three Kings •were passed on the 20th inst. The brig was berthed during the afternoon at the Hail way Wharf, where she is to discharge her cargo.. The Union Co.'s. s.s. Talaroa took her departure again for Dunedin direct last evonlng. During .the; day she not only put out all her oargo.per Tongariro from London, but also took on board a full supply of coal from the barque Itftly.-'" ■-.'"■'' ■ ■ Thes.s.

By the arrival of the mail from Noumea, via Sydney, wo have furthor information respeot-

ine the death of Captain B. PUlenger, of the schooner Louie. It appears that when, about 120 miles from'"the-coast of .Mew Caledonia, Captain Pillenger, about seven, o'clock in the morning, was getting a bucket of water out of the sea when he fell overboard. The cook saw the accident, and at once gave the alarm. The vessel was only going four knots at the time, but the boat was fastened down inboard, and it took seven minutes to_get'it launched. In the meantime various articles had been thrown overboard to his assistance, but he did not reach them. When the boat reached the scene of the it only found the bucket and the floatage, but all efforts to rescue the captain were fruitless. As there was no one on board who understood navigation, it was resolved to follow the route the captain had already traced, and if land was not descried within a certain number of hours to stand away in search of some point of the Australian coast. Fortunately they soon sighted one of the reefs of the Isles of Pines, which .wis .recognised by a sailor who had previously made a voyage to Noumea, and thus they reached that port. Upon the arrival of the Louie at Noumea, J. Hughes, the mate, reported the sad «ffair to the British Consul, who at once held an official inquiry into the circumstance, and a verdict of accidental death by drowning was returned. Captain Pillinger's certificate as a master mariner was forwarded to, and received by, Mr. Hill, the Collector of Customs, yesterday. A new master was obtained for the sohooner. and she was to proceed on to Long Island for a cargo of guano for this pert. ■_ '
