A battle has been picked up at Newcastle containing ft piece of paper, on which is written ;"The Scottish Hero wrecked off Cape Verde ; all hands saved. — Captain Fraser." A barque of that name was on the berth at Liverpool for Brisbane at the date of the last mail from Great Britain. The schooner Torea . berthed yesterday forenoon at the No. 2 jetty, and began to discharge her fruit and other island produce. The Doric arrived at Plymouth on Monday morning, with her frozen meat in good condition. THE SCHOONER SOVEREIGN IN DANGER, From Brisbane files to hand we glean the following details concerning the narrow escape from wreck of the Auckland .schooner Sovereign hence on June 30 with a full freght of oafs. The schooner experienced variable winds until within about 300 miles of Cape Morton, on the 14th August. Variable winds and rough weather kept her " dodging" about for several days, but on the 17th the wind increased to a hard gale. At 3 p.m. on that day a heavy sen came on board and burst the mainsail. Almost at the same time the little vessel Mas struck by a terrific squall, which burst the staysail and took all the hanks off the jib. The Sovereign then lay to under close-reefed foresail till 3.30 a.in., when the foresail was split and rendered useless. The Sovereign wis now in a most perilous position, all her principal sails having been rendered useless. Captain Buike decided that the only course to pursue was to run under the Yellow Patch, and if possible anchor there until daylight. He succeeded in reaching the Yellow Patch, and lot go the anchor, but in a few minutes the chain, not being able to stand the heavy strain, parted. Captain Buike realised that, in order to save the vessel and the lives of those on board, he would have to make an effort to ret into the bay through Freeman's Channel. He had just got abreast of Venus Bank when the wheel chains parted, and the vessel's head paying off, she ran on to the spit of Venus Bank. The vessel, enveloped in huge seas and spray, bumped ever the bank into the main channel, and as soon as she got there the second anchor was let go. She signalled for a pilot and assistance, but the weather was so thick that the. signals could [ not be seen. She had not been more than an hour in the main channel before the anchor parted. The kedge, with a hawser attached, was then let go, and by this means she was held until the pilot steamer Advance came to her assistance, and towed her into the roadstead. She was held in the main channel by her anchor and kedce for four hours before assistance arrived. The hull of the Sovereign remains perfectly tight, and it is not anticipated that her cargo has sustained any damage.
