The ship Q-lenmark, Captain Wrankmore, from London, has arrived at Lyttelton, after a passage of 88 days from land to anchorage, and 95 from Gravesend. She brought 26 cabin, passengers, and a number of assisted immigrants. One birth and one death (a child) occurred during the passage.

The Go-Ahead, which has arrived at Foxton, reportsthe Mosquito a total wreck, on 'Wapiti, the goods lying about the beach. The '.: -oris say that the captain crossed over to the main land.— Evening Post, Nov. 15.

The fine echooner Prima Donna has been purchased by Captain Norris, and may *,a expected to arrive here from Sydney in aboul a fortnight, We believe it is the intention ol Captain Norris to place her in the bland trade.

The schooner Waihopai, reported in town on Saturdayas: a total wreck in Palliser Bay, has fortunately fared much better than was supposed, having arrived alongside Wellington wharf yesterday, very slightly injured. She did go ashore during the late southerly gale on the second spit between Wairarapa Lake and the sea, and remained bumping on the beach, for two days. The floods in the interior, however, filled the lake, and, as usual, ■when it reaches a certain height, it burst through the spit,— in the present instance, just where the stranded vessel was lying helpless. There was a sudden rush and a roar, th» beach melted away around the Waihopai, •he plunged heavily forward, and in a few minutes was clear of the land, held by an anchor which -was dropped previous to her going ashore. She got to sea with the loss of

the anchor, and as soon as practicable shaped

AV-a course for this port, arriving, ag already |i f .-^mentioned, yesterday. Her owners may think ' themselves extremely" lucky, a9, but for the accidental bursting out of the lake at the spot where it did, she' would in all probability have become a fixture in Palliser ~Ba,y.—Evening Poit, Nov. 20.
