! f jif: ?t;eamer Moutoa ,was offered for sale by auction the oi&£j? du^ was Ilo' so^(^ there being no bidders. We scp by advertisement she will run during the ChristmivS hr4i<s(iy3Thk s.s. Lord Ashley left Hojfitik^ on December 17, for Sydney, with 9000 ounces of gold. WJJKCK OF THS BUIO CIiAKEKDON.—Tho bwg Clarendon, which was unfortunttte in being stranded lon tho Grey bar, about a fortnight ago, uniled from : Greymouth on the 4th, in ballast, for Melbourne, i neaving in company with the schooner 10. On Saturday, December J. 2, at noon, it commenced to blow a gaie, and the fltimo evening it, was discovered that the vessel had sprung ft ie.dk. All hands were then sent, to the pumps, and the ve#s.'l y,ffl kept nwsy for Nelson. The leak, however, was found 'to fee increasing, when some of the hands were sent to p**s# spare mHin-piiil under her bottom, having succeeded in doing which, the leiibige was found to decrease. The following day the gale increased, and continued to do so. Tho canvas also gave way, nnd consequently, the leakage increased. During Saturday she sighted Gnj).e Fflulwjnd, and also spoke the Mary Van Every. Hero, how.eror, the gale bended tho vessel, the wind coming round from the N.E. She wsw then wora round und hnaded for Greym.o.uth, and when abreast of tho port she hoisted a signal of di»trejj? ; a$ also a siir'inl for a steamer. Finding that no sfceaajw wn» roining alia stood on for Hokitiku, but on coming ftbrest of the Arahurn it wan found that the vessel had drifted near the break. It wng not, however, until Captain Dow found his resiel in the second break, that the helm was put hard »bou,t, an 4 her i

head directed for'the shore in order to save the lives of those on bonrd. She stranded at a point about 800 yards above the Wairnea Creek, and from the timo she sprung the leak until she touched tho beach, the crew were constantly £t the pumps and were thoroughly fatigued. Tho Hokitika Star says that Captains Thompson and Agnew have since surveyed lier. They report that they found her badly strained throughout, her forefoot gone, her port quarter all started, all seams open and butts started, aud her copper much rimpled. Prom her general appearance they have recommended her to be immediately stripped and sold.— We.itport Times.

London, October 31st, 1868. A slight but generally improved tone has prevailed in the woollen manufacturing districts during the past month, and there have been indications of a small increase in the scale of consumption of wool. The trade, however, is perhaps more largely stocked than for a long time past, and though there has been some enquiry for Australian wools of fh'3t-class growth which, as usual at this season of tho year, are in more moderate supply, the actual sales by private treaty have been of insignificant extent. The date for tho commencement sales has not been officially fixed, though an impression generally holds that they will open on the 19th November. The arrivals to date are as under:— Bales. .Sydney ... 14,725 Port Phillip 8,197 Adelaide 809 •New Zealand 8,481 i Van ( Diemon's Land ... ... 1,742 Swan River Cape of Good Hope 21,836 55,790 Bales. Having regard to the very large increase in the production of wool which, according to the most recent Colonial advices may be anticipated for the coming season—a considerable proportion of which it is expected will be forward for the early sales of the new year—it is probable that any tendency to improvement resulting from a more favorable condition of trade, will be in a great measure checked by a more than ample supply.
