The following vessels have recently been taken :—Mikado, for Dunedin and Lvtteltou ; Marie Becker, for Wellington and Nelson. The Valparaiso will not touch at Lvtteltou, but carries some carsro for Auckland. Detail* of her freight are not obtainable in season for this issue. New Zealand freight quotations remain unchanged at «l cents. A despatch from St. Vincent (Cupe de Verde idlest states that the s.s. Prodauo, the first of the American-Australian line of freight steamers, which sailed on August 20 for Adelaide, Sydney, and Melbourne, had put in at that port in distress ou September 8, her machinery having broken.

A tug Bent out from New York to look for her sighted the reeeel about 250 miles afc sea, and brought her into port. Advices *t London from the Falkland Islands, d«it«d August 22, state that the new ! American ship St. Mary. Captain Carver, from New York, May 30, for San Francisco, went ashore at Lagoon, and will probably be a total loss. The cargo was saved.
