The Lijticlton Times of yesterday contains tho following : — The schooner Herald arrived from Wellington yesterday afternoon with a cargo of timber. Captain Jenson reports that whilst off Chpe Campbell, on Saturday morning last, while tho south-west gale was raging m all its fury, he was m company with a ketch (but not close enongh to make her out), and all at once she disappeared. Ho sailed ovor tho spot, and saw a portion of her hatch and somo timber. The vessel was probably bonnd to this port. Referring to tho Edwin Fox, well known m Timarn, tho Southland Timc.t says : — Most people who have scon the bluff-bowed old barque Edwin Fox, now approaching an age no 'lady would own to, would never givo the vessel credit for more than six knots au honr with even a small hurricane after her. Yet the tough old English craft has held her own with such a clipper as the Waipa on the run Homo ; has beaten tho Aberdeen clipper Famonoth, and small |barquo Eleetra, by nine and ten days respectively, and only lowered her colors to another well-known Bluff trader, the Tongoy, which beat the Fox by four days.
