BY TELEGRAPH.
AUCKLAND. October 22.—Arrived; Taranaki, from the South. PORT CHALMERS. October 22. —The Albion, s.s., with the Suez mail, sails this afternoon for the North. LYTTELTON. October 22.—Arrived; Annie Ogle, from Sydney ; Prince Alfred, from Auckland ; Endymion, 103 days from the Downs, with thirty passengers. The barque 'Woodbine, on the subsidence of the late north-west gale, was able to escape from her somewhat dangerous position off Evans Bay, and get to sea. The wharf presented an animated appearance yesterday afternoon, four steamers, the Ladybird, Manawatu, Phoebe, and Napier, having sailed for their several destinations. Captain Stafford, of the barque Camille, reports having sailed from Newcastle on the 9th instant. Experienced very severe weather on the run across. Was off the Heads on Tuesday, but was blown out to sea, reaching the harbor again about four o’clock p.m, yesterday. The Camille, which came in yesterday from Newcastle, took the ground off Mill’s Foundry, The Edwin Bassett and the Camille, both from Newcastle, sailed thence on the same day (the 9th instant), and arrived almost together yesterday.^ The powerful brigantine Seabird left Hokitika on Saturday last, the 17th inst., aud experienced fine weather and light winds from the westward until making Wellington Heads on Tuesday last. Was unable to beat in,' and was blown down as faa as the Kaikouras. The wind then came in from the southward, and the SeabirJ ran up before it, the wind again fetching round to the northward. The brigantine beat into the harbor through Chaffer's Passage, thus saving the tide, which she reached about six o’clock. She brings a cargo of timber. Breach of the Steam Navigation Act. —John Kearns was charged at the Auckland Police Court, by Captain F. Moore, of the s.s. Mikado, with being a stowaway on board that vessel during her voyage from San Francisco to Auckland. Evidence was given proving the presence of the prisoner on board, and that he had not paid his fare. Prisoner had stated to the captain on board that he had paid the money to the purser of the ship, who had been left behind at Honolulu, and that lie (the prisoner) had given the passage ticket to the second steward. Subsequently the prisoner retracted tuis statement, and told the captain he had been put up to it through the purser having been left at Honolulu, and thereby being unable to come forward and contradict it. The second purser was called, and said that the name of the prisoner was nob on the passenger list of the ship (list produced), and that it would have been if he had paid the fare. - He had also examined the ticket-book of the steamer, and there was no entry of the prisoner’s name on the butts from off which he tickets had been torn, which was a further proof that the prisoner was illegally on board. The prisoner denied the charge, and called the second steward as a witness in his favor. Charles C. Burt, in answer to questions put by the Bench, said he was steward of the Mikado, and knew the defendant, who was the only man among several stowaways on the steamer who refused to do anv work during the passage. The defendant was ordered to pay a fine of &&, in addition to the costs, otherwise to undergo the term of one month's imprisonment with hard labor. Afterwards the Bench seemed to reconsider their determination, and the following penalty was imposed : the passage money, amounting to £2O, being ordered to be paid by the defendant, in addition to the fine and costs. — Southern Cross, October 10.
ARRIVAL OF THE DOUGLAS.
The ship Douglas arrived off the Heads yesterday morning, but the wind being light and adverse she' made but little progress. The Luna accordingly got up steam in the afternoon, and about half-past six o’clock left the harbor, with the Health and Immigration Officers on board, to tow her in. The Luna picked up The Douglas about six miles outside the Heads, and towed her in to the anchorage at the Quarantine Station, where she dropped anchor about- ten o'clock, p.m. It was- found that there had been a great deal of sickness on board, chiefly measles and whooping-cough. There had been thirty-one deaths, chiefly of infants and children under four years of age; and there were still twenty cases under treatment on the arrival of the ship. The agents—Messrs. W. &G. Turnbull & Co.—had kindly and prudently sent out by the Luna a supply of fresh provisions, and as the ship had been out 111 days from Gravesend, these would be very welcome on board. The Luna returned to the wharf about midnight.
The Douglas went out of the East India Docks at two o’clock a.m, on the Ist of July. Left Civavesend on the following day, and on the 7th (liscliarged the Channel pilot. From the Channel to the Equator had light winds and calms, and consequently did not cross the Line until the 7th of August, in long, 27'10 W. From that time nothing occurred until the 27th of the month, when observations could not be obtained, a strong gale blowing, and the ship rollin" and laboring heavily, and shipping largo quantities of water. Kept her before the wind torthe safety of life and property. Next day, in lat. SS.IS S and 18.50 W., the gale was still strong, but afterwards abated. On the 18th September Mrs. Wilson (the captain's wife) was safely delivered of a son. On the 22nd September, a strong gale was experienced, irith a na«ty beam sea, the ship rolling and laboring heavily, and shipping large quantities of water. Inc gale continued for four days, and at 10 p m. on the 2Gth a heavy sea struck the ship, and broke the boom over which the tent was rigged, and smashed the main hatch. A large quantity of water, in consequence, found its way below. The vessel was kept before the wind for a time. On the following day the ship was In lat, 42 3, ami long. 80 E, the gale still continuing, with showers of hail and snow. This' severe weather continued until the 2nd instant,,when it moderated. On the !)th hist, another strong gale was experienced, with heavy squalls, a terrific sea running. The storm continued till the 15lh, when it moderated to a fresh breeze with heavy thunder and vivid lightning—lat. 40 5 and long. 170,50. On tlio 10th instant sighted Cape Farewell light at 10 p.in., bearing S,E by S. h 3 At one a.m. on the 17th a sudden shift of wind took place to S.E., blowing a gale. This gale continued all day on the 17th, during which t ic truss of the lower forctopsail yard was carried away On the 20th had .a terrific gale in the btrait from N.W., in which The Douglas was blown past Urn port, which was not seen, m thick was the weather. Olf Capo Palliser saw the Helen Denny. The ship was forced down to the Kalkouras, where
the wind shifted on the 21st to the south, and The Douglas ran for Wellington. As has already been said, thirty-one deaths occurred on the voyage— the first, a child, prematurely born, on the Gth of July, and the last, of bronchitis, on the 20th instant. There were, in all, sixty-two cases of measles and three of convulsions, twentynine of whooning cough, and seven of erysinelas. The health of the ship generally has been bad. The Douglas brings in all about five hundred souls, there being not fewer than IG7 children under twelve rears of age. The following ships were spoken on the voyage : July IS, i’.udvmfon. for Canterbury, in lat. 40.11 N., and lon. 14.7 V/. (arrived yesterday); August 1, signalled the ship City of Delhi ; in the Strait, on Tuesday, ship Helen Denny, for Napier (arrived yesterday).
