We learn with regret that the schooner " Kate," recently built at Sawyers' Bay, was wrecked at the mouth of Toi-Toi Harbour on the 7th inst. When she was in the narrowest part of the channel, a sudden change of wind took place, which drove her on the rocks. Her keel was knocked off, and she im mediately filled with water. Her cargo, however, was saved. We understand that information has been received from Captain Thomson to the 16th ult., at which date the TJiomas §• Henry, together with another vessel, was in quarantine in Twofold Bay, in ccnsequence of the prevalence of small-pox at Melbourne, from whence she had last sailed, and which she had reached in nineteen days from Otago. There was no appearance of the malady on board. The Gleaner arrived at Wellington on the 19th ult., 97 days from land to land, 178 passengers. The Ashburton arrived at Wellington on the 26th ult., 110 days out, with 99 passengers. The Great Britain arrived in England August 22, 92 days from Melbourne ; and the Oneida August 26, 117 days out.
