Fortunately when the accident happened tho wind was from tho oast, a fair wind back to Auckland. The vessel was about twenty miles from Auckland when the mishap occurred. It Is believed tho vessel will bo able to resume her running early next week. Tho Wellington, from tho Manukau and Intermediate ports, arrived at tho wharf at midnight.

The iron screw steamer Kate, of Whitley. England, from Galveston, cotton-laden, for Havre, was totally wrecked at Bermuda on the Ist of December. A portion of the cargo was saved in a damaged condition.

The German man-of-war Albatross sailed from Honolulu on Christmas Day for Now Zealand. There is every probability (says the Fiji Aryiis of January 4) of the Tubal Cain being got off the reef and brought on to Lovuka. .She has been examined by a competent shipwright, who says that beyond knocking a hole la her bilge she is nob much the worse. The Undine was loading with timber, and a passage through the reef had been found, which allowed her to go inside. Previously vessels of her size visiting Ono had to anchor outside the reef, so this will be a great boon to traders and others visiting there. The wreck was purchased by the captain, and Mr. H. Wilson, and was expected in Levuka very shortly. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have accepted Oitt offer from the committee of Lloyd's Register of British and Foreign Shipping to establish an annual scholarship of .€SO a year, tenable for three years, to be competed for by private students of naval architecture, being British subjects, at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich. Candidates desiring to compete mu-t enter the college- as students either of naval architecture or of marine engineering. The examination will include the elements of mathematics, including the differential and integral calculus, of statics, dynamics, hydrostatics, geometrical drawing, practical shipbuilding, or practical marine engineering. There will bo two examinations for this scholarship—the cntranc; examination, and a further examination, for those who pass the entrance, as laid down for competitors for th*.* Admiralty free studenfcshlus. The candidate standing first in order of merit will bo awarded the Admiralty scholarship, and from among the remaining candidates will bo selected the holder of the Lloyd's scholarship, who must stand first in naval architecture or in marine engineering*. Wo hope and believe that the prospect of securing this profitable distinction will stimulute students entering tho Royal Naval College to honorable effort, and to aid in raising tho character of that excellent institution.
