Arrived, —ll a.m., Phoebe, from Wellington; II a.m., Taranaki, from Port Chalmers, with Suez mail; John Knox, from Sydney ; and Fawn, from Newcastle. The Pcebe sailed South at 4.30 p.m. The outer pilot boarded the ship Halcione at five o’clock yesterday morning, and preparations were at once made for an early departure. By seven o’clock everything had been made snug for sea, the anchor, which was hove short, was hoisted, and the vessel stood towards the entrance with a light breeze from the N. W. The pilot left the vessel outside Fencanw at nine o’clock, by which time the wind had increased to a spanking breeze. On leaving the ship three cheers were given by the pilot’s crew, which were heartily returned by those on boird the Halcione. The master of the XXX, which arrived yesterday from Wairau, reports the Halcione as having lost sight of land by ten o’clock, at which hour he was off jhe entrance. The wind was a whole-sail breeze, with £ dbniparatively smooth Sea, The steamer Albion, with the Northern portion of the Suez mail, is due here on Thursday morning. The ketch Falcon arrived early yesterday morning from Wairau, with a full cargo of phonnium. The steamer Stonnbird, under the temporary command of Captain Linklater, sailed yesterday afternoon for Wanganui. The Napier also took her departure yesterday for Foxton. ... The schooner Canterbury is discharging her cargo of pirns at the bTWlwork, The ScfifodtfKJt Alma. —On yesterday’s tide, and in tow of the Dispatch, the three-masted schooner Alma left Groymouth on her return passage to Melbourne. Although better in appearance than when ahe arrived here, she seemed anything but what, to an uninitiated observer, would be said fit for a voyage. One of her original hands refused to go in her, and, as rumor says he has some £lO to draw, his refusal to return to duty may cost him dearly. Several additional hands, sufficient to make up a very full complement of crew, were shipped at £lO for the trip. She left here with foremast, foretopmast, mainmast, and mizzenmast only standing, so that os nearly as possible, she is in jury rig. Grey River Argus, November 10. A Missing Schooner.— News was received yesterday morning stating that it was supposed the schooner Kaituaa, thirty days out from Havelock, was off Bank’s Peninsula dismasted, and requesting masters of vessels to keep a good look out for her. She was bound for Oamaru. A deck house, supposed to be hers, has been seen twenty miles to seaward off Le Bon’s Bay. Captain Andrew, of the Ladybird, saw nothing of her on his passage from Dunedin, though be received a telegram from Mr. Ledger, in Dunedin, warning him to look out.— Canterbury Press, Nov. 18. Sixty Miles an Hour at Sea.—There is a probability of Australia being brought within eight days of Europe. The Admiralty have before them a new form of steamer, with a bottom composed of two or more parallel consecutive inclines, of which great things are expected. The inventor, a Mr. Ramus, states that with his model, he has actually attained a speed of sixty-three knots an hour. From Melbourne to Sydney or Adelaide in nino houru, to Launceston in four, and to London in eight days, would rather revolutionise ocean steam navigation. But it is much more easy to attain a great speed for a few hundred yards in a model, than to keep it up for thousands of miles on board a ship. Theory and practice arc not always in accord.—Melbourne Leader.
