The Tasmanian Maid returned from Nelson today, having been compelled to put in there flora stiess of weather and shoit supply of fuel. H.M. ship Nigei, Captain Ciacrofr, takes hei departure fiom the Manukau for Sydney to-moiiow morning. This depaiture has been caused by the ship having grounded at her anchoiage and knocked off, not the shoe of her fore-foot a*> we were previously infoimed, but Eome three-and-twenty feet of her false keel, which requires to be leplaccd. After being docked and oveihauled, she will retuin to this station, from which we are veiy loth to lose her, and of which, duimg her eight months.' service, it has been the foitune of her gallant Captain, his Officers, and ship's company, to become distinguished ornaments. — New Zcalamlei, June G. H.M. steam corvette Pelorus, 21 guns, Captain Seymour, may shoitly be looked for in tho W.iitemata; as also H.M. bciew slnop Faun, 17 guns Comnundei Ralph Cator, now 106 days fiom Poitsmouth. — Jbid.

Tho Wonga Wonga was aground for about a quarter of an hour in going out of the river on the 15th. 22 sheep were thrown oveiboard to lighten her, when she proceeded on her voyage.— Wanganut Chronicle, May 24. H.M. steam sloop Cordelia is one of tho smaller class of screw sloops i she was built at Pembroke in 1856, and dispatched for Australia, via China, in tho course of the following year. She is ship rigged, 170 feet in length, and 2!) feet beam over all. She cariies ten 25 cwt. broadside guns, 32-poundors, and one 65 cwt. pivot gun, also a 32-pounder, of 9 feet 6 inches in length. She lias a sloop's complement, 120 officers, seamen, marines, boys. Her officers are, Commander Vernon ; Lieutenants, Robert 0. Leach md Arthur M. Norman j Thos. C. Tilly, Master ; Bernard T. Colley, Paymaster ; Chiistopher C. Hassal, Mate j Stephen J, Burke, Assistant Surgeon.— New-Zealander, May 19. The Melbourne telegram to the Sydney Herald of Bth instant, states that Captain Reed, Admiralty agent, is the be.irer of despatches recalling H.M. ship Iris, and that she is to be succeeded by H.M. 6hip Fawn, and that Captain Seymour of the Polorus has been constituted a Commodore of the second class. This information would seem to set at rest the report of Commodore W. Edmonstone, in the Airogant, 47 gun sciew frigate, having been appointed to the Australian command. That the Fawn was on her way out we have been for some time aware — not to lelieve the Iris but the Niger. If the command is to devolve upon Commodore Seymour, it is not likely that he will shift his pennant from the Pelorus, a ship of 1461 tons and 21 guns, to a small sloop of 747 tons and 17 guns. We had a hint some time ago of the probability of Captain Seymour's promotion. Funeral or the Reverend Thomas C. E. WAitnur. — On Tuesday morning, 24th instant, the remains of the late chaplain of H.M.S.S. Pelorus were intened in the New Cemetry. The shipmates of the deceased being absent in New Zealand, the eortlge consisted of a detachment of the 40th, about 150 in number, together with the band, and the officeis of the regiment. His Excellency Sir Henry Baikly's carriage, with Captain Bancrott, came last in the procession. — Christian Times, Apiil 28.
