The owners of th 3 wreck of the steamer Scotia, now lying at Starling Point, Bluff Harbor, invite tenders for the removal of her engines and machinery. ' The schooner Dunedin, which arrived at New Biver from Christchurch with grain some time since, dropped dowa the river on Saturday, and anchored at the Upper Pool, having timber on board.

The Southland, 300 tons register, Captain Thorn, left Liith on the 25th June, with ten passengers and a general cargo, for the New Eiver direct.

He reports a succession of heavy S. aad S.E. gales, until the last four days, when he fell in with calms and light east wiads. Having transacted his business he •went on board the same afternoon, and proceeded on his voyage to Dunedin. It appears from the telegraphic reports in the Melbourne papers that the weather has been very severe on the coast of Kew South Wales- The schooner Margaret and Elizabeth foundered between Newcastle and

Sydney, hut her crew reached the shore in safety. The recovery of a large quantity of tallow, and a lire-belt, near the Clarence Mver, is too certain evidence of a serious calamity there. Ihe ship Pairfield, from Newcastle for Adelaide, anchored in Jervis Bay on the 18h, with loss or sails, but proceeded on lier voyage on the 21st inst. An Adelaide telegram states that the Lucy Louisa was struck by the Kangatira in Passage Sound, on Paturd»y week. She struck her astern, and carried away the main boom, sail, and taffrail, ripped open the counter, and swept the stern, 'i'he helmsman of the Lucy disappeared, and is supposed to be kil'ed or washed away. After the accident, the Rangatira lowered a boat, but did. not epeak the .schooner, and steamed away. The Lucj's damage is so great that she must repair. The Great Britain, Lieutenant John Gray.

Total Loss of the Schooner Margaret AND ELIZABETH—The above-named vessel left. Newcastle on the 23rd instant, with a cargo oi coal, biund for Sydney. Shortly after leaving ahe sprang a leak, and the strenuous exertions of her crew could not keep her free, and at half-past t>o a.m. on the 24th she went down, all hands being saved by means of her boat. At the time of the accident she was tea miles east of (Jape Three Point*, but her crew, although in a small dingy, fortunately made the shore and walked up to Sydney. The Margaret and Elizibetb. was a schooner of fifty-three tons, commanded by Captain M. M'Kee. She was the property of Mr Roberts, of this city, and is insured in the Sydney Marine Office for L3OO.— S. M. Herald, Aug. 27. Wreck op a Yessei, at Cape Byron, near Richmond River.—Mr Kaston, pilot at the Richmond River, reports that a wreck had occurred close to Cape Byron during the late gales from the east warvl'that prevailed on the 7th and Bth instant, as there had been some small portions of a vessel picked up just to the- southward of that part of the coast; also, 116 casks tallow, harness-cask, wnter-cask. and life-belt with the name «' Alexander Patten " on it, from which there is every reason to believe that it is the schooner Volunteer, of Sydney, from UafSs Creek, Queensland, bound to Sydney. The general impression is that the vessel has capsized at sea, or that there would have been more of the wreck found on shore. At present it is impossible to say wiie'her the hands on board have gone down with the vessel, or taken to the boats and landed at some spot on the eosst; it is, however, more than jro::able that fill on board have perished. Under date of the 19fch inst, our correspondent adds : ome additional particulars, to the effect that at low-water mark there is the appearance of a wreck much larger than the Volunteer, and from the fact of a piece of blue boanl being found with the letters " CLA" and a portion of an " R", in cold letters, a part of a lifeboat, and some skylight prating about two feet by one and a half, it is much feared that the ill fated vessel is the Clarence steamer, and not the Volunteer. There are 120 casks tallow—ll6 sound, and four damaged, marked as under:—Three with the broad arrow, 44 WxH, 43 K. 11 XX, 20R. The whole of the above have been recovered and safely secured by Messrs Black and Ainsworth. Senior Constable Henderson has been all along1 the coast, and endeavored to ascertain the name of the vessel, or to see if anyone had been ca*t ashore, but found nothing additional, calculated to throw any light on the subject. He has also recovered all available cargo washed up on'the beach.— Clarence Examiner, 23 d Aug. Tira American Carrying Trapk.— The last advices from New York bring the statistics whkh had just been made up of she ocean carrying trade for the past year, compared with each precedingyear since 1857. The result is much more remarkab'e than could have been anticipated, and constitutes, according to the New York Journal of Commerce, "a disastrous record,'the disgrace of which can be wiped out only by a more vigorous administration of naval affairs " In 1857 considerably more than two-thirds of the entire import and export trade of New York was condurted by vessels under the American fl.ig\ and up to the commencement of the civil war this proportion had not experienced any very serious modification. But in 1861 the trade was nearly divided between American and foreiern_ vessels, and the change has since gone on so rapidly that during 1863 three-fourtbs'of it was absorbed by foreign flags. Apparently, however, even this statement conveys scarcely an idea of the present state of the case, since the falling-off in the employment of native vessels became more striking with each succeeding mouth of 1863, until, in the last quarter of the year, the proportion of goods exported and imported in other than foreign vessels was only eleven, per cent. Instead of in dulging in vituperation against foreign powers for the fact of the Confederates having been able to keep a few cruisers at sea, the Journal of Commerce observes : -'' When tbe history ot' these sad times is written by an impartial hand, there will be few pages more discreditable to the nation than that which records our impotency on the ocean highways in tl>e presence of two er three petty privateers."— Mitchell's Maritime Register, 4th June.
