Repobt op the Waixaby.—The Wallaby left the Albion Wharf on Saturday 27th ult. atl p.m., and anchored under the Sandspit the same night, the wind blowing a gale from the S.W. The following morning the weather having moderated proceeded on her voyage, but the wind commencing to blow hard from the same quarter, had to put into West Wanganui, where she left the day after, and arrived off Hokitika River on Tuesday 30th ult., but too late to cross the bar. About 11 p.m. the wind suddenly changed to N.E. and for about 3 hours it blew a terrific gale, the vessel was steamed out to sea and hove-to, and the following day she arrived again off the Hokitika, but there being too much sea on the bar it was not deemed prudent to attempt to cross, and the steamer only succeeded in taking the bar on Thursday the Ist inst., and then steamed through a very heavy surf. She left the Hokitika on Friday 2nd inst. at 5 p.m., crossed the Buller River bar at 6 a.m. on Saturday, left again at 10 a.m. Experienced fine South West breezes on the return trip. During the steamer's stay in West Wanganui she received the captain and crew of the sohooner Pilot, which vessel had been wrecked there, on her voyage from Dunedin to Hokitika; Jtist previous to the departure of Wallaby from Hokitika the brig Craigievar broke adrift and came into collision with the steamer carrying away her bowsprit and doing other damage. Sighted the screw steamer Maid, of the Yarra, off Cape Farewell on Saturday last from Nelson bound to Hokitika. Weeck op the Lttteiton Schooneb Piiot.— Captain Whitwell of the Wallaby, has sent us the following report :—" The schooner Pilot from Lyttelton with a general cargo for Hokitika, was wrecked at the entrance of West Wanganni on the 29th May. The master and two men got ashore in | the boat. The Wallaby put in through stress of j weather on the 30th, and took them on to Hokitika. The schooner broke in two amidships, and the cargo was carried out" to sea, portions being seen about Cape Farewell about three miles off shore. The master said he could see none in the harbor except a little sawn timber, which was on deck." . The P.. N.Z., and A.B.M. Company's steamer Egmont, James Hagley Commander, left the Manukau June 3rd at 2 p.m., had strong wind from N. and heavy rain, arrived off New Plymouth the next day at 10 a.m., landed mails and passengers, but no cargo, surf running very high, did not anchor but stood off and on, at 2 p.m. received mails and proceeded for Nelson, had strong S.W. pale and high sea in crossing the straits, on entering Blind Bay had beautiful calm weather, and arrived in Nelson, June sth at 3 p.m. The powerful s.s. Tararua, belonging to the P., N.Z., and A.R.M. Company, arrived here early on Friday morning on her return from South and en route'for Sydney. She left Wellington on Thursday at 2 p.m., and had pretty fair weather on the run. The Alice Cameron arrived at Auckland from Sydney on 31st May, 13 days from Sydney. Fine weather throughout. She reports falling ia with the schooner Martha and Ellen, 27 days out from Wangunui short of provisions. The barque Novelty had not arrived when she left Sydney. The brigantine Alliance, 70 tons register, has been totally wrecked about nine miles from the Manukau harbor. The New Zealand Eerald says:—" The Alliance left Taranaki, bound to Kaipara, early in the last month, and on Wednesday last, when only about a dozen miles to the south of the Manukau, the weather was so boisterous that the captain had to run her on the beach to save the lives of the crew."

The ship Lancashire Witch, 1574 tons, Captain King, arrived in Auckland oh 2nd June. She brings the largest number of passengers which ever arrived in Auckland in one vessel, namely—49o, There were 12 deaths of children on board and 5 births The Lancashire Witch was in Auckland nine years 7 ago. since which time she has been refitted at a cosi of £22,000

Death of Captain Moore ~ of the Dauntless. —The New Zealand Herald announces the death of this gallant seaman, which occurred yesterday evening, at the house of Mr. Hooper, on Smales' Point, whither he h«d been conveyed on Saturday evening. Captain Moore had been suffering for several days from intermittent fever, The Fiery Star was not the only vessel succonred in his last voyage by Captain Moore. In the Bay of Biscay he bore down on a vessel showing signals of distress, which proved to be the Phoenix of Liverpool,

H.M.S. Haeeiee. —Loss of Lieutenant Jebboham and A Sailob.—Besides the intelligence of the calamity to the Fiery Star, the Dauntless brings news of two melancholy occurrences on the voyage of H.M.S. Harrier from Auckland to England. On February 14, in lat. 1920 S., long. 26*4 W., the Dauntless was signalled by the Harrier, and two boats being seen to put off the ship was hove-to. A boat with a Sub-Lieutenant came alongside, and one with a First Lieutenant, who told Captain Moore, that whilst the boats were being lowered a sailor had fallen overboard, and sank before assistance could be given him. The object of sending to the Dauntless was that word might be conveyed to the senior officer on the New Zealand station that while the vessel was lying at the Falkland Island, Lieutenant Jerrohara left for the purpose of having a day's shooting, and though the ship lay at the island for some time after, he had never returned. The Harrier left the Falkland Islands on the 28th January for England. The majority of our readers will remember that the Harrier was for a long time on the New Zealand station, and left this for England in November last.— Southern Cross.

None of the bodies of the four men drowned by the upsetting of a boat in the Hokitika, mentioned in our last, has been found.

The ketch Kate from Invercargill, and the schooner Dancing Wave from Lyttelton, arrived at Hokitika on 29th May. The othervessels in harbor on 31stwere sch. Mary Ann Every, brig Craigievar, s.s. Ruby, all from Dunedin ; sch. Connaugbt Ranger from Sydney. There are others, but these are ashore, namely—the p.s. Wakool, a hopeless wreck; the p.s. Nelson, almost hopelessly fixed ; the p.s .Bruce, of the getting off of which some expectations are entertained, and the schooner Oak. .

The West Coast Times of 31st May says •-—The Omeo arrived off this port yesterday from Nehon, whither she had been to coal. The Wallaby, s.s., and two or three others, supposed to be the City of Nelson, the Murray, and the Sarah Pile, were also outside the bar. but the weather prohibited all communication with them.

The schooner Trader sailed from Hokitika for Sydney on 27th May. Regarding the steamer Bruce the West Coast Times writes: —Preparations are being actively made for launching the Bruce into the river, and it is expected that in a few days she will have left her present unpleasant berth on the spit. We have heard it stated, but we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the report—that an action is about to be taken against Captain Malcolm for not possessing a business license, and a professional German jumper has intimated his intention of erecting a two-storied tent on the Bruce.
