The smart little schooner Elizabeth entered the harbour on Wednesday evening last, from Tntuil.i. after a very good ran of some eight horns. In the paragraph concerning the lo~s of the boat and crow of the barque Helena, which appeared in our last issue, we were In error in stating that the vessel was lying on and off. The true statement is that the vessel was lying at anchor about three! miles from I lie shore, and remained so lor seven days after the accident. The schooner Vavau left harbour on Wednesday morning last, on a trading voyage. There was a strong trade wind blowing tit the lime of her departure, and she went, verv quickly out of sight of those on slu.iv. The German barque, von Wcrder, will last. The barque Waudrahm. will leave for Europe direct, to-morrow, taking with her a full ear-, of island produce. We loam by a recent arrival from Tutuila, that the schooner (!anterbury is lying in the harbour of Pugopago, having been declared unsoawoAhy. 'The schooner Olasega arrived yesterday, from a trading cruise among tho leeward islands. Site brings a full cargo of island produce. When thoAugnstn left Svdnev, the Reeonniasance was on tho berth for'the Tonga and here. Yesterday afternoon the German ship of war. Augusta, arrived in port, from Sydney via Tonga. Owing to the lateness of her arrival, we are unable to give an account of her passage. We believe she will leave hero again on Monday next, for Tonga, where she will bo absent for about three Weeks. Wo notice by the Sydney papers that another of their fleet of steamers—the Lord Ashley—has become a total wreck. It appears that she left Newcastle for Melbourne, with a full cargo of coal, at :'. p.m. on tho Hth of hut mouth, and at ."> p.m. she was discovered to be making water. Every possible means were used to keep the water under but to no purpose, for it eventually put the fires out. After all hands had been safety land, d at Terrigal, she finally drifted on to tho rooky point east of Tcrrieal Eeef. About !) p.m. a heavy sea dashed her further astern, when she broke in two at the fore gangway —the noise being heard half a mil.: away. It is supposed that as the ship took the ground under the crane at Newcastle, that she may have rested on Bonn thing that may have injured her. She was owned by Mr.' John E. Manning, who was a passenger by her.
