The steamer Alhambra left Hobson's Bay at 6 p.m. on the 29th ult, arriving at the Bluff at 11 a.m. on Sunday, leaving at 4 p.m. on the same day, and reaching CKago Heads at 3 a.m. The Gothenburg find sailed for Ilokitika three days before, with 250 passengers, alter discharging whom she will proceed to this port, where she may be hourly expected. The Albion was to follow for Ilokitika, Nelscn, and other intermediate ports. The steamer Egmont sailed at 3 p.m. for Ilokitika via Northern Ports, conveying with her upwards of two hundred cabin and steerage passengers. The vessels to succeed her within the week are the Alhambra, Maid of the Yarra, and Lady Darling. The lnst mentioned vessel left the Bluff ior Hokitika on the afternoon of Friday la^t, and may be expected to have, by this time, discharged her passengers at Hokitika.

HOKITIKA SHIPPING. (From the Evening Neios, 26:h August.)

Amongst the numerous vessels that have, during the past four months, been beating about the coast, and that have been prevente I through stress of weather and the want of a stcaratug from crossing the bar, the schooner Lloyd's Herald stands prominently forward. Few of our readers but are familiar with her name through the many rumors that have been afloat respecting her. Much anxiety has been felt concerning the fate of herself and her crew; and well pleased were we in having to record her name under the head of " Arrivals" in our last issue. Through the courtesy of Captain Crabbe, who submitted her log book to our inspection, we are enabled to lay before the public the leading incidents of her passage from Dunedin. The Lloyd's Herald left Dunedin for Hokitika upon the 27 th of April, and lay wind-bound at the Heads until the 29th at noon, on which day she put to sea. From the 30th to the 4th May she experienced heavy weather from the N.E., with a tremendous sea on, and, in company with several other vessels, she bore up for Ly ttelton, but the weather moderating, did not anchor. She rounded Cape Campbell on the 4th, it still blowing hard, and the vessel labouring heavily, her decks awash all the time. From that date until the lO.h, when she rounded Cape Farewell, she oncountered nothing but heavy gales, and her decks being continually filled with water. On the 13th, at midnight, she rounded-to off Hokitika, and in the morning, found that entrance was prevented through the want of a steamtuer. From the 14th to the 18th, she stood offandjon the coast, experiencing heavy westerly gales, and a corresponding Bca—

laboring heavily, and shipping much water. At midnight of the 18th, she was close in to the ba»-. On the 20tb, the weather moderating, she dropped a kedge with a hawser attached, bringing up for the first time since her departure from Dutiedin, bat it coming on to blow the same day she stood to sea again. On the 21st it blew a hurricane, with a terrific sea ; her decks were swept of everything moveable, and her stay-sail was blown from the bolt ropes. Sho then bore up for Nelson, and on the 23rd May anchored in' Blind Bay; from that time until June 3rd, she remained in Nelson repairing damages. - The captain thought it advisable to plnce her on the cradle and overhaul her thoroughly, so heavy lial been the strain upon her. She left on the 3rd, and on the stb, her old luck still following her, she had to b?ar up and anchor at Tonßua. She made another Btart on the Bth, but had to return on the 10th, it blowing fearfully hard, with a tremendous sea. The same weather continued until the 13th, when she got under way once more, but on the loth had to run for shelter to Farewell Spit. On the 16th she made another start, and up to the 30th encountered heavy westerly weather, and was beating nbout the whole time between Capes Farewell and Foulwind. On the 30th she again made her appearance off Hokitika, asd found the signal of "do not attempt the bar" flying. From the last date np to July 4th the weather was fearful—heavy westerly gales and a mountainous sea running, her decks being continually filled with water. Provisions and coml now rin out, and as they dared not takfc her hatches off to get at supplies, again bore up for Tongua and anchored there. Again made weigh on the Bth, and on the 12th found Hokitika once more under lee, and every appearance of another blow from the westward, in which they were not deceived, for from the 12th to th.: 19th, the Lloyd's Herald, in company with many other vessels, was hove-to off the coast. On the llKh she and .they came to anchor, and remained stationary until the 22nd, no opportunity offering in the meantime to take the bar. Fro>» that day up to the 27th she daily got undor weigh watching for a chance to get inside, but without avail. On the 30th the fleet made a final effort toent.i. but the consequence was that three of thtir number got on shore and the rest returned to their anchorage. On this day their water running short, the steamer Ly'ttelton suppl.'ed them with half »i cask, and on the 31st, there being every nppearance of another blow from the west, prepared to slip and run for it. During the night it blew terrifically—all the vessels lying at anchor had to slip, two out of their number— the Monttzuma and Defiance—coming to grief. The Lloyd's Herald rode to her anchor, Lows under, the greater part of the night; her decks were completely swept, and some of the deck cargo being cas: on shore led to the report that she had gone down. One heavy sea that came en board of hc~ bent the Ktrung iron knees that supported her crab winch, and jammed tha captain against it, breaking two of his ribs, at the same time washing one man ri^ht over the fore-ail (which was stowed on the boom) as far aft as the mainmast, which fortunately brought him np or he must have gone overboard. By this time the vessel was in the first line of breakers, hivinsr dragged her anchors about two and a-half miles, and the crew gave themselves up for lost, when the wind suddenly shifted more to the southward, which enabled them to slip and reach off shore. The fates, however, seemed against them, for the cjtain had hardly left the hawse pipe when they discovered her tiller curried a.vay ; by jamming the rudder amidships the little craft steered herself until daylight, when they managed to remedy the mishap and then bore up f->r Nelson to repair damages ; on the 9th reached that port, and remained there until the 18th, occupied in repairing and once more placing her on the cradle. On the 18th sho again I*ft, and on the 23rd, having been blessed with fine weather in the interim, was safely towed into that port she had so long and so vainly striven to reach.

The heavy freshet that has so very considerably increased the volume of water discharged by our river during the past few days, lias materially altered tho channel at its mouth ; and from its appearance there seems every likelihood that we shall again have a straight course outwards. The Spit i* fairly cut through, and every hour the size of the new channel increases ; and although some inconvenience may be experienced at first through the force of the river being divided, there is no doubt that shortly the old channel will be entirely closed, and from the direct course the river has now taken, that the now one will be deeper and far easier to enter. This occurrence is of the greatest importance to v*, and we do most sincerely tru^t that — at least during the approaching sumnv.T —we shall be spared the pain of having to record such wholesale destruction of valuable vessels and merchandise that happened here during tho past winter.

Up to the hour of going to pres3 tiiere was no sign of the fleet of vessels that are known to bj laid on for this port, but when they do nrriv-e they will, no doubt, come almost together. Considerable changes have been made, and in future we shall have no cause to complain of wunt of boats. Tho Omoo and Hero, the Bruce, the Miskin, the Wallaby, possibly the Nelson, will bo here soon. The Maid of the Yarra has been purchased by Mr Robinson, of Lilly and Robinson, late owners of the Titania, and will he placid permanently on the berth; the Lady Bird is also laid on, though whether for any time we do not know. Tho Lady Darling will continue to run, and altogether we shall have as great a superfluity as we have lately suffered a lack. With the above, the Lady of tho Lake, the Eleanor, and the Uno, irre.■■p^ctive of the Waip-ira, which will soon bo afloat again, we shall be provided most amply.

Loss of the Bahqub Fleetwood.—The boat which arrived from Robben Island on Thursday afternoon, brought over Captain Bell and sixteen of the crew of the barque Fleet wood, which vessel was wrecked near Ganzekraal (Dassen Island) on Tuesday morinp: last, the 20th inst. By the exertioas of Captain Bell and crew, they managed to sheer the vessel off the reef, but were obliged to abandon her, she being in a sinking state. The b:trque Flcetwood be.onged to Messrs J. Richards and Co, of Glasgow, and was built in 1839. She left Glasgow on the 26th of March last, with a cargo of sundries and machinery, for Maurilius.—Port Elizabeth (Cape of Good Hope) " Telegraph," June 30.

Wkecic of the Mail Steamer Easturn Province. —The scene of the wreck is a reef of rocks, about three miles to the westof Ratel River. She struck an hour before daylight, when it was very dark. The boats were lowered immediately, and the passengers were first landed, and afterwards the crow. One boat was capsized, and the crew were rescued with much difficulty from a watery grave. The shipwrecked people, it is reported, were treated with every kindness by the fat mers in the neighborhood, and others who came to the spot. The mails were landed, and forwarded to Cape Town as early as possible. All the passengers have now arrived in Table Bay.—Port Elizabeth " Telegraph," June 30. The brig Wil 1 Wave arrived yesterday from Tome. She brings a full cargo of flour and wheat, which is consigned to Crosby and Co. She sailed from Tome on the 18th May last, and has therefore been ninety-one daya on the passage. Captain Fisher informs us that he has experienced nothing but light winds, and was not fortunate enough to meet with -the trades. The Wild "Wave touched at

Rarotonga and also at Norfolk Island, but found none of the inhabitants there, they all being away wbaliDg, and had captured three black whales, and were towing them round to the other side of the island. There is at the present time about 280 persons of all ages on the island, between forty and fifty having left some few months back in a small schooner, and gone back to Pitcairn Island. Generally the islanders are not satisfied with their place of abode, and would much rather be back at PiCcairn Island. Captain Fisher sent a boat ashore to endeavor to purchase something, but could only get a few potatoes, the residents not paying any attention to agriculture.—" Hobart Town Mercury," Aug. 19.
