The schooner Fairy is stranded at Hokianga Heads, It is believed she will bo got off safely, and the cargo saved. She is insured in the New Zealand for £3OO, and is owned by Captain Rattray, p {Messrs. Whittingbam Bros, and Instone’s fine paddle-steamer Comerang arrived at the jetty on Thursday afternoon, with 39 immigrants, and a large cargo for this port. She left Port Chalmers on Monday at 11.30 p.m., and about 6,15 pum, passed Slope Point about two miles off. Shortly afterwards saw; breakers ahead, when the helm was immediately put hard-a-Btarboard, and the engines reversed, but before she could gather sternway she took the ground. Laid aground about 11 minutes, and then backed off into deep water and proceeded on to the Bluff. The pumps were sounded, but the ship was perfectly dry, and showed no sign of damage. At midnight anchored between Dog Island and the beach, and at 7 a.m, on Wedneday steamed into Bluff Harbour. She left the Bluff early oa Thursday morning, and arrived as above. A survey was held on the vessel yesterday by Capt. Tall and Hr* Longford, when they reported that she had suffered but slightly from being aground, all the damage noticeable was that the afterpart of her keel had got a little chafed, andsome of the copper on her bottom scratched, which they said in no way endangered her carrying passengers and cargo [to Dunedin* 'where they recommended that she should be docked. She is to sail for Dunedin, via Bluff, after discharging her cargo here, and UP she has first-class passenger accommodation, and is a splendid sea-boat, it is an opportunity those about to travel should not fail to take advantage of,
