BY TELEGRAPH. AUCKLAND, Wednesday. Arrived. —Kinross, steamer. LYTTELTON, Wednesday. Arrived.—East Lothian from Auckland, and C. B. Taylor from Paget Sound. The Ladybird sails at 4 p.m. to-morrow for Wellington. NELSON, Wednesday. The Taranaki arrived last night, and sails for the South at midnight to-night. The s.s. Eangatira, Captain Lloyd, from Napier and Poverty Bay, arrived in the harbor yesterday afternoon at one o'clock, after a very boisterous passage. She left Poverty Bay on Sunday last at 3 p.m., and encountered a strong southerly gale with heavy head sea, which at 0 p.m. compelled her to put into "Happy Jacks," where she had to remain under shelter until seven o'clock on Monday evening, when she made another start, and reached Napier at 5 a.m. on Tuesday. She sailed again at 11.20 a.m., had light favorable winds to Cape Palliser, and from thence experienced a strong N.W. gale, with heavy head sea, until arrival in the harbor. She sails for Napier and Poverty Bay this evening at 5 p.m. The s.s. Stormbird, which left Wellington on Tuesday, at 5 p.m., in company with the Manawatu, for Wanganui, arrived at her destination at 1 p.m. yesterday. She is expected back again to-day, and sails for.Wanganui on Saturday.. The barque frowning Beauty, having now completed taking in ballast, has cleared at the Customs, and will sail for Newcastle with the first fair wind. The barque Oneca may be expected shortly from New York, via Dunedin, with a cargo of American goods. She is consigned to Messrs. W. and G-. Turnbull and Co. The Douglas came alongside the wharf yesterday, and commences discharging her cargo to-day. She has close on 2000 tons on board, including the plant for the Wanganui water-works. The Sarah and Mary hauled off from the breastwork yesterday, having completed loading pipes for AVestport, and sails on the first opportunity. The Uriti loads to-day with coal for Wanganui, and will probably sail from there for the Sound. The brig Tower Hill, which has been reported as missing, was at anchor, windbound, in Hick3's Bay, on the 10th inst. The collier Edwin Bassett will finish discharging her cargo of coals on Saturday, and after ballasting, will sail again for Newcastle. ' Captain Johnson (late of the brigantine Isabella) has been appointed to the command of the" wellknown Auckland coaster—Magellan Cloud. The Richard and Mary, now lying atPlimmer's wharf, will finish discharging to-day. ■ The schooner'Herald discharged the last of her cargo yesterday afternoon, and will proceed to Picton for a load of timber. The schooner Shepherdess is now ready for sea, and will sail for Havelock on the first favorable tunity. She will return with a cargo of timber. The ketch Amateur, owned by Messrs. Brogden and Sons, having completed her discharge of timber, will go on one of the Slips to undergo a thorough overhaul. The following were passengers per The Douglas, from London—Saloon: Mrs. Mary Wilson, Messrs. Michael Andrews, and J. E. Blackburne, and eight in the second cabin.

The three-masted schooner Garibaldi, which had been reported as lost off Cape Egrnont, arrived off the Waitara Eiver on Sunday lost. Captain Dale, in command of the tug Waitara, immediately got under steam at half-flood, and wont out to tow h«r to a safe anchorage, as, owing to neap tides, Bhe was unable to enter the river. It is expected she will be towed in to-day. Captain Vassourier reports being forty-two days out from Lyttolton, three of which only have been spent at sea.— Taranuki Herald, October 21. - Moke Disasters at Sea.—The schooner Cleaner was towed into Greymouth by tlie Dispatch on the 17th inst. On the 12th, she encountered a terrific gale from W.S.W., which carried away her maintop stays. The schooner Good Templar was towed in on the same day. On the way from Hobarton, she experienced heavy gales. During one of the gales she shipped a heavy sea, which disconnected and broke off a portion of her stearing gear, carried away her topmast, and did other damage to her rigging. The vessel was thrown on her beam ends, and the mate and one of the able seamen were washed overboard ; but, fortunately, caught some of the loose rigging hanging from the ship's side, and by that means were enabled to regain the deck.— BulUr Niwt, October 21. The Mawok at WnaTi-ouT.—The s.s. Kennedy made an attempt last evening to tow the American schooner Marion intoport. Shcsucccededin crossing the bar, but below the groyne the current, together witli a head wind, was so strong as to prevent her further progress up the river, and the Marlon was anchored and moored to the groyne. This morning the Kennedy made another endeavor to tow the Marion to the wharf; but after breaking a tow-rope, and attempting every possible means of taking the schooner up the river, Captain Conway was compelled to desist. It is understood that the Marion will be towed in by the Charles Edward, on her arrival from Nelson!— 'Bulla- News, October 21. Ar.mvAL oir the U.S. Batiqut: Rosalia in a Leaky State,—Karly on Wednesday morning, a large ship was sighted in the Bay, endeavoring to work-up against the strong prevailing north-westerly wind. Naturally enough, she was immediately set down to be either the Bebington or the Helen Denny, from London, both of which vessels may now bo considered duo at tliis port., Steam was at once got up on board the Bella, and that steam launch, having on board the Health, Immigration, and Customs Officers, was soon bowling along across the Bay, in the direction of the stately craft. On arriving alongside (or, rather, before that occurrence took place), it wan discovered that, the ship was neither of the immigrant vessels expected here, but the American barque Rosalia, seventy-six days out from I'ugct Sound, bound for Dnnedln, with a cargo of lumber. It appears that the Kosalia,, fifty days out from Pugot Sound, fell in with some very hoivy weather, during which she labored heavily, the straining the vessel sustained resulting in her springing a leak; She then bore up for Napier, to communicate'with the conslgntes of her cargo, and to try and effect some necessary repairs beforo proceeding further. After remaining alongside the .Rosalia for some time, the steam launch returned to the port, Pilot Kraeft staying on board and taking charge of the ship, for the purpose of bringing her up

to the anchorage, where she would probably bnng up some time during the night.— Hawke's Bay Herald. October 23, [The Rosalia had 9Jft. of water in her "old.] . . , , : A Stormy Passage.—The three-masted schooner Craig Ewan, 204 tons, Captain C. Birnio, bound from Mauritius to Lyttelton, arrived in harbor on Tuesday last, having run short of provisions. Reports leaving Mauritius on August 22, landing the pilot same day. Passed Amsterdam Island on September 5. Experienced moderate weather until September 17, when she encountered a strong gale from theN.W.; the ship rolling heavily, and the seas washing over her. On September 10 it blew a heavy gale, accompanied with heavy showers of hailstones ; a very high sea running, causing the vessel to ship great quantities of water ; hove the ship to under double-reefed mainsail. At 8 a.m. the gale moderated ; set foresail, lower topsail, and foretopmast staysail, and squared away. On September 18 it blew a strong gale from the W., with heavy squalls of rain, the barometer falling rapidly ; it being unsafe to run any longer, brought the ship to with close-reefed mainsail. At 3.30 a.m. a sea struck the ship on the weather bow, carrying away the jibboom, part of bulwarks forward, and two water casks ; called all hands to cut away the wreck for tho safety of the vessel. Towards noon the gale moderated ; set foresail, lower topsailforetopmast staysail, and kept away before the wind. From thence had moderate weather until October 9, when she met a heavy gale from the S.W. At 11.30 a.m. a sea broke aboard on tho starboard quarter, which carried away the skylight companion, binnacle, bulwarks, and filled the cabin with water. This was followed by another heavy sea, which filled the cabin a second time, destroying the provisions and water, the ship almost foundering. It was with great difficulty that the captain's wife and children were got out of the cabin alive. Since then put the crow on half allowance of provisions. On Saturday, October 17, the provisions and water being all done, it was deemed advisable to shape a course for Nelson. ' On the following day boarded the ketch Alert, and got two days' provisions and water. Sighted Cape Farewell the same clay, arriving off the lighthouse at 11 a.m. on Tuesday morning.— Nelson Mail, October 22. The Late Gale and Supposed Loss op the Barque Eleanor -with all Hands.—lt is with much regTet we have to state that but little hopes are entertained that the barque Eleanor which left this port on the 20th July, bound for Lyttelton, will again be heard of. She is now sixty-nine days out from hero, and it is fifty-four days since the last mail left Lyttelton, and there was no report of her arrival. The Eleanor was 396 tons register, and left here with a cargo of 500 tons coal. She was commanded by Captain Coleman, brother to Mr. Coleman, of lI.M. Customs of this city. She sailed in company with the following vessels, all bound for Lyttelton, viz. : Dorette (an Iron ship), 1000 tons; Australian Sovereign, barque ; Speedwell, barque (iron); and Emperor, brig. The ship Chrysomene sailed at the same time, bound for San Francisco. The Dorette, Australian Sovereign, and Speedwell arrived at Lyttelton in twenty-one days. The Emperor bore up for Brisbane, much damaged, and is now in Newcastle habor repairing. The Chrysomene, as is well known, returned to Sydney dismasted and otherwise much injured, during the awful. cyclone that occurred on July 31 and following day. The Eleanor when last seen, was in company with the latter ship on July 29, and, there can be but little doubt, must have foundered during the gale above mentioned. The Dorette had a hard struggle, although only partly loaded, to keep afloat during the gale, and sustained much damage to'. her hull. The Australian Sovereign and Speedwell also suffered considerably.thelatterlosingeverytliingoff her deck, her bulwarks smashed in, and at one time had three feet of water in' her hold. The Queensland and Auriga, barques, sailed from Newcastle for Lyttelton, on the 25th July, and arrived all safe after 21 days' hard fighting with the elements. The Feronia and Cyrene, barques, made the passage to Lyttelton in 14 and 12 days respectively, sailing on.the sth and 11th August. The Lady Emma also arrived at Lyttelton all right, having sailed fourteen days later. The Australind, Heversham, Malay,--and Edwin -Bassett, barques, sailed for Wellington, immediately before, and shortly after, the Eleanor, and all arrived at their destination, more or less injured. TheMageora, ship, bound from Puget Sound; to Adelaide, and now in Sydney repairing, was compelled to throw ail deck cargo overboard, and received, great damage, whilst the ship Rouparell, at present in our harbor, lost all her masts, and was greatly injured about her hull, &c. The barque Ansdell, which sailed from here for Auckland on July 2S, fell in with the gale, and lost her foretopmast, main topgallantmast, jibbom, besides other serious damage to her bulwarks. Many of the vessels bound to Lyttelton about the same time as the Eleanor have since returned to Newcastle, and are away again. From the foregoing facts there is but little doubt that the Eleanor must have foundered, and all hands lost, she being the only vessel unaccounted for. She was the property of Mr. C. H. Hannell, of this city, and is, we believe, insured, together with her freight.— Newcastle Pilot, October 7.
