The barque Horatio Spaague left New York on March 4 for Dunedin and Wellington, and the barque Jewess left Boston the same day for Dunedin, both with full cargoes. The Margaret Galbraith is making rapid progress with her loading. She has on board 2,104 cases of meats, 200 casks tallow, and 5,700 bags of wheat. The City of Dunedin has nearly completed her loading; she has 2,400 bales of wool, 9,000 cases of meats, 150 casks of tallow, 50 casks of hides, 50 casks of oil, and about 00 tons of old iron. Stic is oxx>ected to sail on Tuesday next. The Honolulu Gazette of March 12 says

“ The übiquitous and notorious rover C aptain Hayes, who was reported last year as haying been chased by British cruisers over to China, s now at Apia, Navigator Islands, where he intends to make his head-quarters. He was fitting out his brig, the Leonora, for another cruise among the Polynesian Islands, and talked of coming to Honolulu to sell his cargo of oil and cobra, if there is any chance of a better market here for it than at Apia.” The Pretty Jane returned from the Molyneux last night with a full cargo of grain and flax. Fine weather was experienced along the coast, ■with thick fog. Tlie Jane, fit/m I£alr*.mii y aaildtl up this momIng early, and hauled alongside the City of Bombay. She brings a cargo of preserved

meats. The Lady Bird arrived in Port Chalmers at 1 a.m. this morning, and was docked at 7 a.m. She left the Manuka u on the 3rd, and was barbound till Monday; arrived at Taranaki on Tuesday, the 7th; Picton on the Bth, at daylight ; Wellington at 10 a.m. ; left Wellington on the 9th, at 5.30 p.ra.,' and arrived at Lyttelton the next day, at 2.15 p.ra. ; left the same evening at 7, and arrived at Port Chalmers -as above. Her detention was caused by rather a curious circumstance. The boat, in passing through a quantity of seaweed, was noticed to be going very slow, when it was shortly found out that a quantity of the weed had choked up ter injection pipes, which could not be cleared. On arrival at the heads she was boarded by Pilot Kelly, and, in stopping the engines and going astern, the boat was at once disengaged, when she went right enough. We thank her purser for our Northern files. The brigantine Emulous arrived in Port Chalmers yesterday from- Auckland, after a very rough and boisterous passage. Captain Patterson reports leaving Kaipara on Tuesday evening, the Ist inst., with a light son’-west wind ; arrived off Cape Egmont on the evening of the 3rd, and experienced a terrific gale from the sou’-west; shipped a number of seas which washed about everything that was moveable on deck ; arrived off Steven’s Island on Thursday, the wind still blowing very hard, with a heavy gea ; on Friday morning the weather moderated, when light nor’-est winds prevailed and continued so up the coast, with thick weather. THE MUTINY ON BOARD H.M.S. AURORA After the Aurora arrived in Hamoaze, on the 23rd December, it appears clean hammocks wore slung, and leave then given to one watch for three days, commencing on Christmas live, the other watch remaining for duty on board. The day after Christmas Day the ship was moved into the basin at Devonport Dockyard, and secured alongside the jetty. On December 28, the watch which had been on leave from Christmas Eve returned on board, the other watch being granted leave until the Ist January. A part of the watch on board, comprising the men who had been on leave until the 28th December, were again granted leave on the night u£ the 29th, and a watch on the night of the Ist; but before the leave men left the ship, the word was passed fore and aft, or, in less nautical phraseology, orders were given that clean hammocks were to be stowed on the morning of the 2nd January, orders having been also passed fore and aft a day or two ! previously that the men were to scrub their lammocks during their meal hours. From the men not liaving any regular time — other than their meal hours—allotted them for scrubbing their hammocks, as also from the bad weather, and it being a busy time on board, refitting, in addition to a number of men breaking their leave, many of the hammocks stowed on the morning of the 2nd of January were dirty. The commander, seeing this, determined at once on punishing the whole ship’s company, the men with clean hammocks equally with those who had dirty ones, by stopping all leave, which he did. This punishment severely tried the tempers of those whose turn it was to go on shore on leave that evening, and the ship’s company, acting in accordance with the Articles of War and the custom of the service, requested the petty officers of the day to go aft, speak to the commander, and solicit from him a revision of the sentence he had pronounced alike on the innocent and the guilty, and beg that their leave might be granted them. The petty officers went to the officer of the watch and requested to see the commander, who on receiving the communication sent back a message to the petty officers that he would see them after dinner. The interview appears to have been particularly unsatisfactory. On the men hearing the result of the interview, it appears they became exasperated. By a simultaneous movement, all lights were extinguished, and a scene of yelling, Looting, and throwing all moveable gear about followed. The petty officers were piped to fall in with lauthorns, and one was sent to each mess and held answerable for it. The mutineers then went up on the main deck, where they sent the portable gun gear flying in all directions, and from the upper' deck they commenced throwing the case shot and empty shell down the hatchways. Gun tackles were cut, missiles of all descriptions thrown at the head of anyone with a light, and an attempt made to transport a gun for the purpose of throwing it down the fore hatchway ; but the gnu proving too heavy, the attempt was abandoned. Thus, for au hour at least, was a British man-of-war turned into a pandemonium. Eventually the mutineers managed to join the weU-dispouecl puffi who had assembled on the

jetty to hold aloof from the mutiny, and not a single capture was made. _ The captain succeeded at last in restoring order, and all hands turned into their hammdeks. On the 3rd January an inquiry was held, and wo arc not at all surprised to find that both potty officers and men were reticent to a degree as to the causes which led to this stain on naval discipline.
