June 23.—Sailed ; Ladybird, at 1,15. for the South. The steamer Star of the South, Captain Farquhar, arrived in harbor last night at S o’clock, having left Napier on Monday afternoon at Ip.m. Her mission as the first of the new line between New Zealand ports and Fiji is now well known, and there is every likelihood of the scheme being successful. The Star of the South is a sister vessel, and came out with the Beautiful Star and the Star of the Evening, the Beautiful Star being well known in the New Zealand trade, and now running jurofitable trips between Dunedin and Ly ttleton and fcheintermediate ports. The light draught of these vessels enables them to go safely in shallow water, and the Star of the South, like the Beautiful Star, is to run up to Dunedin wharf. The Star of the South is barqxien tine-rigged, and can carry a wide spread of canvas, which with her steam-power, enables her to attain a good rate of speed in a fair wind. The saloon is commodious and comfortable, being placed in the centre of the vessel, and extending from side to side, without being narrowed by sleeping cabins. There is a comfortable ladies' cabin; and the men’s quarters are also good. The Star of the South brought up at the first righthand T, and will sail South to-day, returning about the 3rd of next month. The French barque Condor unexpectedly turned out to be one of the vessels which was signalled at the Heads on Monday. It will be remembered she arrived here some time back with a cargo of sugar, consigned to Messrs. Turnbull and Co., and sailed for Nelson from this port, and thence to Newcastle, N.S.W. At Newcastle she loaded coals for Tahiti, and left for that island some twenty-eight days back. Shortly after getting out to sea she met with a succession of contrary winds and baffling gales off the North Cape, which kept her so long back that the captain feared his provisions would not last him the voyage to Tahiti, and the wind being favorable for the run, he determined to steer a course for Wellington. The Condor arrived off the Heads yesterday morning, and was boarded first by the pilot’s coxswain, and then by the pilot himself, who brought her in early yesterday morning. The barque did not come up the Bay, but anchored where the La Hogue first brought up. She will remain a few days to take in fresh provisions and enable the men to recruit after the severe work they have had during the stormy weather she has experienced, and will then proceed on her voyage. The Condor was about a mile to leeward of the barque Malay, when she started to beat up, having dragged from ti teen fathoms of water, in which the jnlot anchored her, to some thirty fathoms. The barque Malay, Captain Linklater, the trimmest of the Newcastle traders, returned to port yesterday, after a moderate run from Newcastle of eighteen days, during which some very rough weather was encountered. She brings a cargo of coal. Thebarque Omega left on the same day, and may be looked for at any moment. The barque was hauled alongside the wharf .ast evening, and will commence discharging her cargo of coals at once. Captain Linklater resigns his command .of her this trip, and she will proceed to sea next time in the hands of Captain Hill, of the lost barque Wellington. The smart brigantine Sarah and Mary, 154 tons register, arrived off the Heads about the same time as the barques Malay and Condor. She anchored for the night in company with them, and was brought up this morning to an anchorage off the wharf. She Is from Hokitika, and brings a large cargo of sawn timber, after discharging which she will probably take a return load of pipes. At the time the Sarah and Mary left Hokitika there were no less than, seventeen vessels in port, including the J. C. Coleson, and steamer Lyttelton, besides a number of other vessels from this port, which have gone thither with cargoes of pipes. The Sarah and Mary is almost the same tonnage as the lately-arrived brigantine Seabird, and both are fine staunch little vessels. There were some rumors yesterday that the steamer Rangatlra had passed a full-rigged ship some six miles off the Heads, early in the morning. It was naturally surmised that she must be the Waikato, and the signal station was anxiously watched during the morning to see the square run up. It seems, however, that In the obscure light the steamer mistook the barque Condor, looming before her, for a vessel of larger niza. This is the second false alarm we have had about the Waikato being on the coast. The steamer Rangatlra arrived at the wharf early yesterday morning from the East Coast, having been delayed beyond her usual time by the bad weather prevailing on the coast lately. She left the Wellington wharf on Monday last, and proceeded to Napier first, and then on to Poverty Bay, returning again to Napier, which she left on Saturday at 4 p.m., with a N.E. wind, and called at Castle Point on the way down. The weather being rough, she was unable to load cargo at the East Coast ports, and comes into harbor with an empty hold. The steamer Star of the South was in the roadstead when she left- The Itangatira brings several passengers. The Claud Hamilton sailed for Melbourne via Lyttelton, Port Chalmers, and Bluff Harbor early yesterday morning, with a general cargo. The schooner Florence hauled off from the breastwork yesterday morning, and is now ready to sail for Hokitika. The Amateur, keteh, from Havelock, brings another supply of sawn timber, which she commenced discharging at onec at the wharf. The Manawatu, which sailed for Wanganui on Monday, took the following passengers:—Miss Cousins, Major Mcßarnett, Messrs. Palmer, McDowell, Muir, Vine and family Messrs. Turnbull and Co.’s steamer Stormblrd left Napier at one o’clock yesterday afternoon. She has on board ten passengers, and her cargo is chiefly composed of a quantity of wool for the London ships. She may be looked for this afternoon. She is advertised to sail at noon to-morrow for Wanganui. The Manawatu sailed from Wanganui yesterday afternoon, and maybe expected hero this forenoon. The brig Heather Belle has had a very rough passage from Newcastle to Auckland. Captain Pugh reports that he left Newcastle on May 24, with moderate S. W. winds and a heavy southerly swell ; at midnight it was blowing hard, with violent equalls; on the 35th, at 8 a.m., shipped a very heavy sea, which smashed the galley and stove it to atoms, smashed the side of the longboat in, knocked several planks out of the bulwarks, and burst a large hole in the Clew of the foresail; the leo side was cut off; at 8 p.m. another sea broke on board abaft the main rigging, which shifted water tank and started companion hatch : from thence to June 2 unsteady S.E. winds, with heavy easterly swell, prevailed ; at midnight, wind increased suddenly, and ship pitching heavily, arrying away the Jibboom. Captain Pugh also re-
ports that about 120 miles from land passed about eight or ten loaves of bread and some slices of bread floating on the sea.' _ ■ , , Wreck of the Schooner Emu.—The schooner Emu, 20 tons, G. H. King, master, arrived at Low Head from the Mersey on Monday with a cargo consisting of 240 bags of wheat. In entering the lamar the schooner ran on the outside part of the Black Reef nearly opposite the. lighthouse, and on the western side of the river. The master and crew used all exertion in their power to get her off, but without success She lav all night on the reef with the sea dashin" over her ‘till next day, when she broke up, sank, and disappeared entirely. Nothing was saved but some spars, sails, and part of the rigging. Neither vessel nor cargo was insured.—Ln.it neesf on Chronicle. Long-continued Bad Weather j n Bass’ Strait. —On Saturday the little ketch Summer Cloud arrived from the Strait with a general and somewhat valuable cargo. She had one passenger. She was ready with her cargo of mutton bird fat, oil, and Kangaroo skins, about the 12th ult., but owing to the severe westerly weather prevailing, had to remain in port until Tuesday List. 20th ult., when she made a start and then had to beat all the way against westerly and south-westerly winds until reaching the Heads on Thursday morning, the trip across occupying about three days. The Kangaroo skins are mostly all from Flinders' Island.— Launceston L kroniclc , June 1, , The River Steamer Tuapeka.— lt Is some satisfaction for the proprietors of the s.s Tuapeka to know that a higher price has recently been offered them for the engines and internal fittings than was paid by them for the steamer. The Insurance Companies with whom the policy was effected are using their best endeavors to float olf the steamer from where she lies, and for this purpose casks have been conveyed to the spot, and other arrangements will be completed under the inspection of Mr. Mason, who has been sent from Dunedin for the purpose. Several weeks are likelv to elapse ere the steamer will be floated, even under the most favorable circumstances ; but should the river rise suddenly we would not give much for her chance of ever again floating.— Bruce Herald. The South Channel in Port Phillip Bay.— The lighting up of the South Channel, for the purpose of enabling vessels drawing over ISft. of water to come up to Hobson's Bay during the night, is now completed, and this want, which has been frequently felt, and which has, moreover, been something of a standing reproach to the port of Melbourne, is now happily obviated. Vessels, and especially steamers of deep draught, entering the Heads after sunset, can proceed at once to the termination of their voyage, without the sometimes disagreeable necessity of anchoring for the night. The number of large steamers coming to this port is on the increase, and for these, as well as the steamers of the I’. and O. Company, the channel is now navigable at night. The first steamer to pass up was theR.M.S.S. Nubia, which entered the Heads at midnight. Captain Hall, commander of the steamer, was perfectly satisfied as to the safe and easy navigation of the channel. The lights and their localities have already been described at length, but it may not be out of place to repeat that the “Eastern Light ” under Arthur's Seat) is a fixed 4th class dioptric light, SOft. above high water level, and is visible in clear weather about 14 miles. The “Soush Channel Pile Light” (placed at the eastern end of the channel, in the position formerly occupied by No. 10 buoy) is also a fixed fourth-class dioptric light, 27ft. above high water level, and is visible in clear weather about 10 miles. Minute directions for pilots and shipmasters with regard to these lights and the navigation of the channel at night have been published.— Melbourne A rgus.
