The steamer Southern Cross arrived from Auckland at 1 o’clock yesterday morning, bavin* been detained for a considerable time at WaihekL Experienced very rough weather and strong win-l$ during the first part of the voyage. It will ba gratifying to the owners and Captain Sellars to know that passengers speak highly of the powers of the Cross, and describe her as an “excelWt heavy-weather boat.” The Wreck Register and Chart for 1871 discloses some most valuable statistics. Taken altogether, it is a merciful year. The smallest average of loss of life for seven years is recorded, and the total of vessels lost is small compared to other years. Six hundred and twenty-six is the total of the one class, and one hundred and thirty five of the other. Two causes are men- , tioned to account for these cheering statistics—the noble services of the boats of the National Lifeboat Institution, and the life preserving apparatus of the Board of Trade. All honour, then, both to charity and science, and may these figures—these 626 deaths in 1871, compared to 1,333 in 1867 —sink deep into the hearts of the charitable. When the wind howls these dreary winter nights let us remember those that go down to the sea in ships and occupy their business in deep waters. In connection with the statistics on wrecks it would be instructive to hear bow many accidents have happened to rotten, old ships.— Auckland Star .
