AUCKLAND, October 5. Captain Diaz, and the crew of the schooner Zeor, which was wrecked on Takatu Point, arrived in Auckland last nign*. by the steamer Kawau. The captain states that the Zeor missed stays a quarter of a mile off the land, and, the wind dropping, the vessel drifted stern first on to the rocks. A heavy sea was running, which broke right over the schooner, and a boat was launched with difficulty.

The captain and the crew of three men pulled round the point and landed safely, though they lost all their personal belonginge. The Zcor is completely broken up.
