The Phoabe will leave for Sydney, via Manukau, at noon on Monday, and will take a large number of passengers from Wellington and other ports. The Phoebe's last upward passage from Manukau to Sydney was accomplished in 4 days 21 hours. We are indebted to Mr Wilcox, purser, for Sydney files. The barque Cyrus left Newcastle on November 29, for Wellington, with 500 tons coate and SO cases oranges.

The p.s. Manawatu arrived in this port yesterday at 4.30 p.m, after a smart passage of 14 hours from Wanganui wharf ; she brings a full cargo of wool for transhipment to the Teasels now loading for London ; she trill proceed to Flaxbonrne to-morrow for a cargo Of wool.

The s.s. Rangatira will leave at 6 p.m. this day, instead of at midnight, as previously advertised.

The s.s. Napier sailed last night at 9 o'clock for the Kaikouras, with a considerable quantity of cargo and five passengers. She is expected to return here to morrow, with a full cargo of wool for transhipment to the* London ships. This handy little steamer is well adapted for this "trade, and no doubt inducements will be offered to keep her running at regular intervals. The Napier will leavo for Foxton on Monday.

The s.s. Storm Bird is due here from Wan' gantti on Sunday morning early, and will re turn to Wanganui again on; Monday.

The s.s.

H.M.S. Basilisk took her departure for the Fijis from Auckland on the 4th inst. H.M.S. Pearl sailed from Auokland for Levuka on October 24, arriving in Levuka harbor at half-pest 10 o'clock on the 16th November. The reason of her having been out bo long a time between Auckland and LeTuka is that she made a detour by the Navigator Islands and Savage Island?. The schooner Hector, from Grafton, left the Clarence Heads on the 2nd inst, and carried light northerly winds to Cape St George •with gloomy weather, when a violent southerly gale set in, veering with great fury from south' west to south- east, causing a tremendous sea. It lasted for a week, and during the heaviest of it she took shelter in Jervis Bay, sailing thence on the 15th. Light baffling airs were afterwards had, with heavy south-east Bwell, nnii tbe 18tb, when the wind chopped round southerly and blew a gale lasting twenty-four hours. It was followed by calms, light northeatt and easterly airs to arrival. Melbourne *• Ag«," November 25.

The schooner Abbie Bradford, at New Bedford from Hudson's Bay, reports tbe loss of two New Bedford whalers, and brings a portion of the crew of one of them. The parti-

culars are as follows :— On the 14th September 1872, the barque Orray Toft, at anchor near Marble Island, Hudson's Bay, parted her cables, and went ashore, landing high and dry in such a position that she cannot be got off. On the 19th October following the barque Ansel Qibbs went ashore at the same place, went to pieceß, and is a total wreck. The Orray Traft had no oil, but the Ansel Gibbs had 550 barrels of whale oil and 11,000 lbs bone, moat of which was lost. A small amount was saved by the Abbie Bradford. No men were loßt at the time of the wrecks, but both crews were obliged to live on the island until the 2nd of August last, and from exposure and lack of proper food were attaoked with scurvy. The. winter was fearfully cold, being the most sever* for a, number of years, so that the natives of the island died by scores, and the wrecked orews suffered exceedingly. Ten of the orew of the Anßel Gibbs and four of the crew of the Orray Taft died. Their names and residences were as follows : — Of the Ansel Gibbs — Captain Styles, North Adams, Mass. ; George Hastly, of Portsmouth, N.H. : Murray D. M'Connell, of Jacksonville, 111. ; Emil Bender and Charles Sisnor, of Germany, and five Portuguese. Of the Orray Taft — James Marshal, of Montreal ; James Garity, of Hatick, Miss. ; Frank Coleman, of Brooklyn, N.Y. ; and John A. Graham, of Liverpool, England. — "New York Tribune."
