The s.B. Storm Bird sailed for the Bluff at 8 o’clock last evening. The schooner Mary Camming, from Allday Bay for Melbourne, passed the Heads this morning, bound southward. The barque Waratah, that sailed for Melbourne yesterday, left the Heads this mornare informed that the lumpers working on the wharves at Dunedin, were yesterday on strike for an increase of wages, and that a party of men engaged at Port Chalmers having ascertained the fact on arrival at Dunedin, declined to accept work until the dispute was settled. The Helen Burns sailed from Glasgow on August 13, is consigned to Messrs Cargills and M'Lean, and brings the following passengers ;—Mr Geo. Findlay, Rev. Neil M'Callum and wife, Mr Henry Cape Williamson, and nine steerage passengers The Peter Denny left Greenock on July 9, is consigned to Messrs Geo. Gray, Russell, and Co., and brings Mr Hugh Wallace and Mr John Walls, and eleven steerage passengers. Captain Renner, who has given up the command of the Rungdira, was yesterday presented with a handsome timepiece by the officers and men of whom he was superior officer for a considerable time. This token of the esteem of his late associates came upon Captain Renner as pleasan'ly as unexpectedly. As ho was unaware that they had any intention of presenting him with a souvenir, and probably was entirely unconscious that ho had engendered such a feeling of respect for himself in the minds of all belonging to the vessel, it was no wonder that he was taken “ all aback ” on this occasion. This little incident, simple as it is, speaks volumes for the sterling worth of Captain Benner. Our fascinating friend, the Great Sea Serpent, ouce more ! It has been seen by Capt. M‘Taggart, of the good ship Kent, of Liverpool, recently, on the West Coast of Africa, between Cape Palmas and Grand Bassa. On the evening previous enormous shoals of fish of every description, including sharks and porpoises, surrounded the ship, and next morning his Snakeship was seen, with his great head eight feet out of the water. He was apparently from ISO to 200 feet long, and his tail was like unto the tail of a mackerel, and so was his color like that of the said fish. He travelled at a rapid rate, but kindly stopped a few moments while the captain examined him. It is supposed that the fish seen in such numbers the evening before were fugitives from the jaws of his hungry and devouring monster. —Honolulu Advertiser.
