The Italian wooden barque Monte Tabor went ashore on Highland Beach, near the entrance to the harbour, on Sunday, about midnight. As soon as her master, Captain Dcllacassa, found his vessel had grounded he ran to the cabin, placed a revolver to his temple, and blew his brains out. The mate followed him immediately to the cabin, and when he saw the captain kill himself he seized a razor and cut his throat. Both men lay dead on the floor together. A high sea was running at the time, wave after wave swept over the ship, and four sailors were carried overboard and drowned. The remaining six men tore the deck-house away and floated to the shore on it. A dense fog prevailing on Sunday night prevented the life-savers seeing the wreck. No bodies have yet been recovered. The vessel hailed from Trapani, and was bound to Boston with a cargo of salt. On discharge of her Wellington cargo, the barque Clan McLeod goes to Auckland with part cargo. At the Northern port she loads for New York with flax, gum, &c., under the auspices of Messrs Arnold, Cheney and Co.

Lloyd’s book of losses and casualties from midnight of September 2 to midnight of September 9 shows a total loss of 25 vessels. Of these three are known to have been destroyed by tire, three sank by collision, two were abandoned in a sinking condition, and the remainder are recorded as stranded or wrecked. It is more than probable that six of the vessels were lost owing to the lack of necessary appliances or to faulty construction. Inmost seagoing cargo ships the arrangements made for extinguishing fire under Board of Trade supervision are most inadequate. The report of the Bulkhead Committee sets forth the limited distances between watertight bulkheads necessary to ensure safety against foundering in cases of collisions. The three vessels sunk by collision were not so spaced. Some time ago Air W. Hcslop astonished the shipwrights of Great Britain by producing a ship’s boat out of a single sheet of steel. This lie did by means of dies and hydraulic pressure, and the manufacture lias since been carried on at Wakefield, in Yorkshire. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining sheets of steel sufficiently large it was found necessary to make the larger boats in two sections and rivet them along the keel. This has proved advantageous, as it gives greater strength, and in no way detracts from the value of the craft in other respects. Such boats up to 35ft in length are being used by some of the leading shipping companies. A report lias been received to the effect that Lieutenant Heyma'.i and nine men from H.M.S. Satellite had been drowned in Dutch Harbour, Ounalaska. It seems that two petty officers were out. fishing, when their boat became unmanageable. Seeing that the men were in danger of losing their lives, the officer on watch ordered the whale-boat to go to their rescue. Lieutenant Ifoyman was in command of the rescuing party. They succeeded in reaching their companions, and took them into the whale-boat. They had started on the way hack to the ship when the boat was struck by a squall, an ! c-ipsixc-d. Only one of I In* crew, numbering, it is s-iid, nine men, reached the ship. Lieutenant Hcyman ami the rest of the men being drowned. Lieutenant Heymari was 35 years of age, and had been a lieutenant for 11 years. He was unmarried. Further changes have been made in the summer running of the Union Company’s steamers. The Flora and To Anau will in future trade between Dunedin and Auckland, maintaining a weekly service. This will he commenced by the Flora, leaving Dunedin on 2i)tli November, and followed a week later by tile Te Anau. Going North, the two steamers will arrive in Wellington nil Sundays, and leave the following day for Auckland via Napier an-) Gisborne.

What is regarded in some quarters as an ocean race between the Cunard liner Luc.tnia, from Liverpool, and the American liner St. Louis, from Southampton, was concluded on September 19th. The Luecnia overhauled the St. Louis on Wednesday night, end the two kept abreast for eight hours. The Cunarder gradually drew ahead, and was reported an hour and 22 minutes before her American rival. The following passengers arrived by the Takapuna from Onehunga and New Plymouth early on Thursday morning; Misses Cox, Trebejlj, Vandour, Kennedy, Fenwick, Turner, AlcKegg, Greenwood, Mesdames Kennedy, Bathgate, Beattie, Grieve, Kelly, Fenwick, Allan and 2 children, Kershaw, Tegner and 2 children, Kibby, Revs Richards, Gray, North, Dewdney, Dallaston, Dr Rubini, Captain Anderson, Messrs Thomas, Rae, Macminpan, Richnagel, Alarsden, Vert, Kennedy, Wilson, Bathgate, Cox, Beattie, lugs, Hay, Smith, Fenwick, Smith, Telford, Allan, Holloway, Aitken, Hyams, Tegner, Goodacre, Malcolrnson, Schloss, Simeon,

The Mararoa left Melbourne on October 31st, Hobart 2nd inst., and Bluff sth; arrived at Dunedin on the 6th, and on her return from an excursion trip to Preservation Inlet, left Port Chalmers on the 10th, Lyttelton at 10.15 p.m. on Wednesday, and reached Wellington at 11.50 a.m. next day, having met with thick weather coming up front Dunedin. As the steamer had 600 tons of cargo to land here, her departure for Sydney was postponed till noon on Friday.

The P. and O. steamer Malacca recently arrived at Sydney from the East to load wool for the January series of sales. The Malacca is a fine representative of the combined passenger and cargo type. She has great carrying capacity, and also steams well. Proof of her capabilities in the matter of steaming was given on the run from Hongkong. The Malacca covered the distance from that port (which she left on the 17th ult.) to Thursday Island in nine days 20 hours 8 minutes, which is a record. Her time from Thursday Island to Sydney was 6 days 6 hours 13 minutes. The Malacca is. the second vessel of her class that has visited the colonies, the previous one being the Canton, which loaded in Australia last year. She is specially designed for trooping, and on several occasions has been chartered by the British Government as a transport, her latest voyage in that service being in February last, when nearly 1000 troops were conveyed to Malta and Egypt, the accommodation for this large number of men proving ample. The Malacca was built and engined by the Naval Construction and Armaments Company, Limited, at Barrow-in-Furness, in ISO2. Her length is 395 ft, breadth 45ft, horse-power 3000, tonnage 4045. She is fitted with first-class passenger accommodation, the saloon being a handsome apartment, replete with every convenience.

Tlie barque Alice, from Auckland, arrived off the Heads at 5 on Thursday morning, after a good run down the Coast. During the evening the Mana went out, and Pilot Shilling boarded the vessel, which was towed in, and dropped anchor in the harbour at 11 o'clock. The Alice is partly loaded with flax, iicc., for Boston, and is to complete her loading at this port. A dismasted barque was passed by the P. and O. steamer Malacca, which arrived at Sydney early in the month from Hongkong. On the 14th ult., the Malacca was in the vicinity of Amoy, when a vessel flying distress signals was sighted. The steamer bore down to render assistance, and on coming anreast, the distressed vessel was found to be the West York, of Liverpool, bound for riongkong. The captain reported that the vessel had been dismasted in a typhoon in the China Sea, everything but the bowsprit being carried away. When the Malacca came up) to her she was riding to a single anchor, and wished to be towed to a place of safety. The Malacca, finding all well on board, proceeded to Hongkong and reported the crippled condition of the barque, and a steamer was despatched to tow her into port. The underwriters in Sydney have received news that the barque Polykarp, bound for Australia, had put back to Port Natal on October sth for repairs. After leaving the South African coast she encountered some obstruction, which severely shook the ship and carried away part of the stern.

This fine ship—one of the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company's sailing fleet —was boarded by Pilot Shilling on Saturday evening, and towed into the harbour, dropping anchor soon after 9 o’clock the same night. Captain Bowling reports that the ship left the E.I. dock on August 12tli, stopped at Gravesend that night, and took in 15 tons of gunpowder next morning, after which she proceeded down Channel in tow of a tug, which left her off Dover. Fresh westerly breezes were met with, and the Scillys were left behind on August 18th. N.E. and then N.W. winds carried the ship into the N.E. trades, which were picked up in 25deg. N., and lost again in 13deg. N. Then southerly breezes were encountered and took the ship into the S.E. trades (6deg. N.), which kept well from the South. Crossed the Equator on September 13th in 25deg W., and lost the trades in 24 S. Fresh southerly and S.W. winds were experienced to the meridian of the Cape, which was crossed on October 6th. The easting was made between the parallels of 42 and 43deg. S., S.W. winds prevailing. No ice whatever was seen. In 12deg W., during a heavy S.W. gale, the vessel shipped a heavy sea over the starboard quarter, smashing up the poop rail, breaking down five iron stanchions, and sending a lot of water below. From 30 to OOdeg E. the Invercargill encountered a southerly gale with a tremendous beam sea. The ship's decks were continually flooded with water, making matters very unpleasant for all on board. The most serious damage done was the washing away of the starboard topsgallant bulwarks a.id rail. Cape Leeuwin was passed on October 27th, and the south end of Tasmania on November 4th. A very heavy N.E. gale and high seas were experienced on the 10th and lltli inst., and on the 12th Rock’s Point was made, the wind then being very light and variable. Stephen Island was passed on Friday morning with a light westerly breeze, which freshened and veered to the northward, bringing the vessel off the Heads on Friday afternoon. During that night and Saturday morning a heavy N.W. gale prevailed, but moderated sufficiently on Saturday evening to enable the vessel to get anchors up and be brought into port as above. The ship will be berthed alongside the wharf when she has d;seharged her explosives. slessrs W. and G. Turnbull and Co. are local agents for the vessel, particulars of whose cargo have already been published. WEST GLEN, FROSI LIVERPOOL. The barque West Glen, about 110 days out from Liverpool, was sighted from the Heads on Saturday morning, but was blown off by the N.W. gales. She however, made the Heads again early on Sunday morning, and was taken in tow, letting go her anchor in the harbour at 9 o’clock. The barque brings 711 tons of cargo for Wellington, and a balance for Napier. slessrs W. and G. Turnbull and Co. are also agents for this vessel. THE KETCH CLESIATIS DISMANTLED. On Monday morning a ketch with her mainmast and mizzon-topmast carried away was seen standing towards Wellington Heads by the signalmen at Beacon Hill. The vessel made but slow jjrogress, and about midday entered the Heads, dropping anchor in Worser Bay shortly afterwards. As she was flying signals of distress and required assistance the tug slana went out and towed her into the harbour. The dismantled vessel was brought up by the Railway Wharf, and at 1.15 was snugly moored alongside the breastwork between the two wharves, where a large number of people had gathered. It was then seen that the cause of the excitement was the ketch Clematis, and from her appearance she seemed to have had a very lively time of it. The Clematis left Lyttelton for Havelock at 10 o’clock on Saturday morning and was practically in ballast, having only three tons of cargo. From her master, Captain Kruhl, we have ascertained the following particulars of the mishap to the ketch. At 7 o’clock on Sunday night the little vessel was howling along before a fresh southerly breeze. The wind veered round to the N.E., blowing pretty Strong, and at 10 o’clock, when Captain Kruhl (whose watch it was below) left the deck, he told the mate to shorten sail should the wind show signs of increasing. At this time the ketch was off Waipapa Point, under the square mainsail and a jib-headed topsail above the square sail. Captain Kruhl had only been in his cabin a few minutes, when he hoard a crash, and he immediately went on deck. There lie found that the

“ dead-eyes ” had carried away, and the mainmast then having but little support, had gone over the side. In its descent the mast brought down the miz/eu topmast, and also damaged the starboard bulwarks. The wreckage got under the vessel, and considerable difficulty was experienced in clearing it away. When this had been done, Captain Krubl decided to make for Wellington, and she came along under a staysail and a jib fitted up between the part of the mainmast left standing and the mizzenmast. As the wreckage which went over the side humped considerably against the vessel’s bottom, it is probable that she will be placed on the Patent Slip to ascertain if the copper has been stripped off by the friction. The Clematis is owned by Mr T. H. Ker, of Christchurch, who has been informed of the damage done to his vessel.
