ARRIVED, Lyttelton—Dec. 19th, 12.25 p.m., Phcebe, from Dunedin. The s.s. Pretty Jane, arrived with cargo from the Molyneux at an early hour this morning. The s.s. Wellington, from Northern Ports, arrived at 9 20 this forenoon. Her passengers (25), and the mails were conveyed to Dunedin by the Golden Age at noon to-day. The Wellington experienced strong variable winds on the passage from Lyttelton, and sails on Friday next for Northern Ports, conveying passengers, mails, and a large shipment of wool for transhipment to the American mail steamship Nevada, at Auckland. The ketch Eliza M'Phee, from Catlias River, and the cutter Jane, from the coast, arrived and passed up to Dunedin this morning. By the arrival this morning of the Hawaiian whaling barque Arctic, Captain Tripp, we are in receipt of truly disheartening news from the whaling fleet lately cruising in the Arctic Ocean. The greater portion of the fleet, numbering over thirty vessels, has been caught in the ice, and hopelessly crushed or held fast so that they had to be abandoned. Fortunately, the. weather was each that all the crews were safely got on board the vessels which were outside the pack, although in some instances the utmost expedition lia<l to t>e used to savo life. In. the case of the Roman, ns described to us by one of her company, the sight must have been fearfully interesting. The floe caught the ship on each side, and lifted her up bodily, keel out. Relaxing its grip for an instant, the ship settled between the icy jaws of the floe, when coming together again, she was crushed like an eggshell, into atoms, and as the spasmodic relaxation again occurred, she disappeared, leaving not a vestige of the lately noble vessel in sight forty-fiveminutes from the time the ice first closed upon her. It is an open question as to whether any of these ships will be found, on the return of spring, in a condition to be saved. It was considered probable that in the first northerly gale, they would all be destroyed by the moving heavy ice. Besides the natives, who are numerous in the neighborhood would, without delay, strip them of everything moveable. There were 30 ships, containing 15000 barrels of oil, destroyed.— Hawaiian Gazelle, Nov. 15.
