Her master reports having sailed from Newcastle on the 9th inst., and laid a good course with a S.W. breeze until the following day, when the wind died away and thence until the 17th thi barque lay almost becilmed. Then a northerly wind sp. uti^ up, and carried her to within sight of the Wet Cape by the 21st.

Tai'roa returned to port. on -aturday night, at 11.30, r.nd went up to Dunedin at 3.39 a.m. yesterday. Sho ha-i been unable to keep to tinie through the very heavy sea which set on to the Xitnaru beach, aud put a stop to all communication with tha shore, and compelling the pa*seuger<s to remain on board for nearly two day.*, they being landed lon Friday. Ftr the same reason ahe returns without any cargo. . ; : NEW ZEALAND SHIPPING. \ The btrquentine May, hence, arrived at Wellington on Monday last, having made the passage in four dayi, northerly winas prevailing. " : .. The Timaru Herald reports that, in consequence of the first purchaser of the Isabella Ridley not carrying out his agreement, she was put up again, and purchased by Mr almao. The latter gentleman intends to try and float the vessel, and,.it successful, to take her to Dunedin. The wreck, as it at present lies, partly block 3up the channel used by the Government Landing Service, only one boat being able to work at a time, and that with some difficulty. The Glasgow Daily News, ot Mirch Bth, says :—Last night the beautiful irou barqua Lurlino, 700 tons, launched last month by Messrs Alex. Stephens and Sons, left Kingston DojK for Port Lyttelton, Canterbury, few Zealand, with a large general cargo of mauufactured good 3on board, she hws been despatched by Messis P. Henderson and Co., and was in tiue s liling trim, level with the load-line. The Lurline is intended to trade betwixt New Zealand and Caleutti; and her build, equipment, an>l fittings being ot the most substantial kind, are calculated to ensure her future success as a clipper. She goes consigned to Mr C. W. Turner, to whose order sho has been built, and U commanded by Captain J. Adair, late of tht> Que^n of theSoutb. INTERCOLONIAL SHIPPING. We summarise from our Melbourne exchanges :—■: ■'

The ship Morwanjee Framjee, a not'd pas-age-maker, and which distinguished hersslf in 1876 by making- the fastest passage on record to Auckland, has earned another good mark by spannins: the distance between Liverpool and Melbourne in 77 days; She was not much favoured by winds either: the Trades were very scant, and the C^pe of Good Hopo was not passed till the sSih day out. Her run across the Southern Ocean was made with good steady winds, and good time. Kerjjualeu L*nd was sighted, aid a pa-ticular look-out kept for signs of wreckago and castaways, but nothing came of it.

A'ter all, the ship Urtindce; which collided with an icebar;; aud was supposed to have escaped uninjured, was not quit j sr fortunate-; for careful survey rovealed the necessity of stripping and caulking her. 'lhe barque Frederica, from Java, arrivtd at Melbourne April 12th, reports as follows respecting an unmarked coral reef between Sapoedie Strait, Jay* Sea, and ileindei's Droogk Island, off theN.E. end of Java. She left Cheribon at 10 p.m. on February 3, and experiencing light N. and E. winds, with a strong easterly current, in the Java Sea, Sapoedie Straits were cleard at midnight ou February 8, snd at about 7 a.m. on February 9 the barque suddenly and vo./ unexpectedly grounded on a coral patch of about a'quarter of a nvle in extent. Tbo reef was c .rrying from two and a half to two and three quarter fathoms of water, and Meinder's Droogk Island bore E.S.E. twomile3. There was not the slightest warning or indication of any description of shoal water, and a good lookout was being kept at the time, and all arraugenunts for working the vessel were complete. When she struck^ everything was at once laid flat aback, and a warp laid out astern, and as she was found to be hanging sft, cargo was got out of the af :er hold and rolled forward. A heavy squall then came on, which stopped fuitherheavinj. All sails were, however, secured, and preparations made for rumiiiiir out tho bower and a c ble when'the wind abated, as the warp and kedge were foundto be insufficient. : The wind end sea, kept increasing, however, and the vessel began to thump and dredge on the reef until about- 1 p.m., when sbe floated cloarl The foretopsail ai.d staysail were set, and the barque steered into clear water. The pumps were sounded, and it was found thr.t three indies of water were in the hold. The boats were taken on board,,and the barque kept mder topsails that night. The pumps were still carefully attended ;to, and, finding next morning.that she had averaged One inch of water per hour, Captain Press resolved ;o cont nue the voyage. Ho sets down the cau-e of the accident to the entire absenco of all warning cf the vicinity of- shoal water, and the very strong current which was subsequently found to b*i sstting directly on the reeJ. Whilst the ship Northam was discharging at Sydney on the 11th ir.se, some spirits camht firs in tho hjld, and one of the seaman was severe'y buiaed. He rushed on deck enveloped in flimes.

The,ship Blackadder and barque Dinapore, both from London—the one 84 days, the other 97 days out —arrived at Sydney on tha 17th inst.
