AUCKLAND.
February 24. The inquiry into the collision between the Albion and the Isabella Pratt is proceeding. Captain Garrard, in his evidence, stated that he was in the cabin when he was aroused by the mate calling out " stop." He ran on deck, and the mate eaid, "We have run down a schooner." He saw the schooner the bow fast to the Albion. He ran on the bridge and telegraphed to stop the steamer. On coming back within a minute he met the captain of the Isabella Pratt, who said, all the schooner's crew had got on the Albion. He examined the Albion's lights, and found them all right. He went and saw the schooner attached to the steamer, but no light was visible. He saw the side lamp in the main rigging without a light in it. He called the attention of the passengers and crew to the fact. It was bright moonlight, but a schooner iike the Isabella Pratt could not be seen more than a quarter of a mile away, and the smoke blowing over the starboard side tended to obscure the position and conceal her. The case is proceeding.
