The work of raising the ketch Speedwell was begun this morning by the captain and crew. We expect to-morrow will see the vessel afloat again.

The schooner Helen and the cutters Rob- * Roy, Triad, and Harvest Home are lying ■between the Gore-street Jetty and the wood-wharf waiting for repairs. The schooner Firefly has been floated. The schooner Sunbeam is being repaired by Mr. Bigelow on the east side of the Queen-street wharf.

The launch of Mr.-Donald's new schooner at the North Shore thi3 morning was not such a success as could be wished, as owing to the insufficient depth of water the vessel after running down the ways remained hard and <fast on the beach. She was launched broad-side on. The tide at the time was nearly a foot worse than last night. It is considered certain that she will be got off this • rening. The name of the Auckland vessel referred to by Mr McLean, in. his speech yesterday on board the Hawea, was the Jes_sie Niccol. This gentleman purchased that smart sohooner from Mr Wood, and every one who has seen her will bear out Mr McLean's eulogy of her. She was built by Messrs Mccol and Son at the North Shore, about four years ago. The schooner Mery Melville arrived from Russell this morning with 100 tons coal.

The Fawn, . cutber,. brings 58 tons of coal and 40 bags of gum from Russell. The schooner Atlantic is now ready to sail for Lytteiton. She cleared this morning with, a cargo of timber. PasseDger, Mr. 0. Edson.

▲ telegram received from Jlokianga says that the ichooner Queen parted her anchor on Suuday night and drifted on shore.

Ne intelligence has yet been received of the arrival of the cutter Wangarei. which leit this port for Wangarei on Saturday. She was in com puny with the Clyde at starting. We sha'l probably hear of her having sought shelter from the gale in one of the many bays on the coast. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has decided a somewhat important point in reference to the use of stern lights on ships. The action was brought by the owners of the Excel against the AngloIndian to recover compensation for the total loss c f the Excel, by being overtaken and run down by the Utter vessel on the night of the 14th April, during a gale off Cape Pinisterre. It was contended on behalf of the Anglo-Indian that the Excel should have displayed a ligat over her stern in order to warn the Anglo-Indian of her position, or else that the collii ■lon was the result of an inevitable accident, owing to the darkness of the night, and the condition of the Ma. It was represented, however, on behilf of the plaintiffs, that they were not compelled to show a light astern, and although that was done when the collision was imminent, yet the Anglo-Indian did not observe it, owing to a bad look out being kept. Sir E. Phillimore, in the Admiralty Court, was of opinion that the collision was owing to the bad look-out bMBg kept on board the Arjgl-j-Indian, and their Lordships considered that that judgment was ri. ht. but were of opinion that contrary to a contention held by the respondents it was incumbent on the ship ahead to keep a sharp look-out for vessels astern, and warn fhe'in of their approach if necessary.
