The American ship St lago called at the pilot station in the early part of this month, bound from Otago to Newcastle. Capt Davis, the Pilot, supplied the master with a chart of the Straits, and persuaded him not to anchor, at the heads, as he was not coming into port. It was blowing from the North-west at the time, but shifted to the southward the following day. The St lago did not anchor but proceeded on her voyage. The barque Empress of India, CaptWilkin, from London via Otago, arrived at Picton towards the latter end : of March. Having lost a number of her crew, Capt Wilkin came on to Wellington, and has succeeded in shipping a crew for her, who proceeded to Picton in the new ketch Mary and Elizabeth, which vessel came over here for the express purpose of being measured and registered, and hailing from this port The Empress of India, sails for Callao this month, and offers a. favourable opportunity to passengers, seeking a fine and quick passage home via Panama. The Empress of India is a new ship, and made the run out form London to Otago in 102 days. The brig Remark, Capt McKinnon, from Otago, arrived in this harbor yesterday afternoon. She sailed from Otago on Friday last, and made the passage to the Heads in the unprecedented short time of 36 hours ; but was prevented getting into port in consequence of a strong N.W. wind springing up. The Jenny W. Paine, hence, hadnot arrived at Otago, previous to the sailing of the Eemark. The s.s. Corio arrived at Wanganui oh the 11th with the English mail; she experienced, a heavy gale on her trip up and had to take refuge under KapitL The schooner Salcombe Castle, Captain James, arrived in the Manakau on Tuesday night from Taranaki, croßiing the bar at dark under veiy trying circumstances. We are favored by Captain James with an account of the trip of tho Salcombe Castle, from the time of leaving here until coming to an anchor here on Tuesday night She loaded 40 Government bullocks for Taranald, and at 10 p.m, on the 4th the Bcrew steamer Avon, Captain Hunt, came alongside and" towed her down tho harbor, coming to an anchor for the night off the Houbift ■ bank. At eight o'clock the following morning the Avon . towed her safely over the bar, and the steamer and pilot left at ten. She had a fine run to Taranaki, coming to an anchor inside the mooring buoy at six a.m., on Monday, the Cth; wind at E.N.E. By four o'clock in. ; the afternoon the bullocks were all landed safely, and Captain Janieß immediately got uriderweigh. At five the . wind shifted to the southward, and it blew, a hard gala from that quarter up to ten Tuesday .morning, when it backed to the W., and; Captain Jameß stateß that it blew the heaviest gale he e.ver experienced. At one p.m. the sea began to rise, and by four o'clock was running full twenty-five feet high, and frpm.the rising of the vessel to every sea, it was impossible t6,' get canvas .to stand the surges, and from noon until s,'ix"p.m., two foresails,, two jibs, and one staysail were blown clean away. By thta . time the vessel wasiast settling in towards the land, south of the South Heads, Wten fathoms, with broken water, all round. .About seven o'clock,Jthe night very, dark, got a glimpse of the South Heads;' bearing about N.N.E., one mile. The ship was then put -before the wind, and two men lashed by the wheel. Captain James went to the , masthead, but could make out no mark to Bteer by, nothing but the white foam of broken water was to be seen all round. «. At half-past. Beveu it* Was found that the - bar had been crossed in safety, and at ten o'clock she came to an anchor oil Poponga with'-both anchors out, and fifty, fathoms of cable to each. Captain James states that he owes his sincere thanks to Captain Wing, pilot of the Monukau, for the important information he gave him some months ago relative to~the marks in taking. the south channel during the day time, and also advice as to what was host to be done tau'euse of life or death, as the • one above mentioned. Had itnpt been for this information, it is most probable that the vessel would have been lost, when all hands mußt have pushed. We congratulate Captain' James and his crew upon having come through in safety so trying an emergqnoy.,., , The wreck of the illfated'Orpheus has given a'Taame" to the Manukau bar, which ; wili,not soon be forgotten}, that it needs no fresh disaster to Tteep fresh in people's "minds the dangers that present jfcheinaelves to thoseiwbonv&uty calls to encounter them. The Salcombe Castle will sail for Kaipara in a lew days for a'cargo of timber of for Auckland.— Southern Orou t April' 9.. . , „,.,,.; ... '.'.'• . The ship Evening Stai', 1200 tons, Capt Thomas Cilbborn Montano, from London, came to her anchorage at 9 o'clock On Monday morning, after a passage of 102 day» from leaving the docks, and about 90 days from the : thne the pilot left her on the 13th January. In the chops of the Channel she experienced very 'severe weather, had lier jolly boat carried away and... suffered other trifling damage. After getting clear of the land she got moderate winds, crossing the line on.the,4th February, 22 days out. She had a" very fair passage during' the remainder of the voyage, maklng.the Snares, Bon£e miles off, about the 9th inst, and Akaroa heads last Friday evening.

The passengers speak in high terms of the ship, captain, and officers, and presented them with written testimonials this morning. Her cargo consists of general merchandise.— Lytteiton Times, April 15. , ■ • - Burning of the Cadiz (s).— We learn from the Daily Press, (Hongkong) pf.the 14th (January, that "as the P. and O. steamer Cadiz was leaving the harbor for Shanghai, with the- mails and a cargo-- valued at half a. million of pounds sterling, she was discovered to be on fire in the fore-hold. ' She ran on shore, was scuttled, and, the fIM ■ extinguished. The sound portion of the cargo -was transferred to the Bteamer Benares, which sailed the day following. ,The damage to thejcargo is trifling, but the vessel is seriously injured." — Times of India, Feb. 12.
