THE SHIP PIAKO.
The New Zealand Shipping Company have received telegraphic advices to the effect that the ship Piako, which put into Pernambuco on fire, had left Pernambuco on the 29th ultimo to continue her voyage to Lyttelton. It was ascertained that the fire had been confined to the cargo m the forehold. and the hull of the ship was uninjured. It was found necessary to scuttle her, but she was raised m three days without having sustained any damage m the process, her passengers meanwhile being put on board the Loch Doon. It is not known positively whether or not they were subsequently returned to the Piako, or whether the Loch Doon took them on, but it is believed that they are again on board the Piako and that she is bringing them to New Zealand.
