The Harbor Company’s steamer Maori arrived in port at 11 a.m. to-day, and steamed alongside the ship Lutterworth to discharge part of her cargo. She left Lyttelton at 2.15 p,m. on Wednesday, and arrived at Akaroa at 6.30 p.m.; left at 12.15 p.m., and arrived at Timaruat 9 a.m. on Thursday; left at 8.45 p.m., and arrived here as above. Stroung sou’east winds were experienced from Timaru with heavy showers of bail. We thank the captain for Lyttelton files. We are glad to see the schooner Mary Ogilvie back again in the Port, and apparently none the worse for her mishap. She will, of course have to be docked and stripped, and new copper put on; but beyond that there is nothing the matter. Messrs Jackson, of Port Chalmers, deserve credit for their risky speculation of launching her off the beach. She left Oamaru on Wednesday night with a cargo of wheat as ballast, arrived on the Heads yesterday morning, beat up as far as the crossand anchored. The Geelong, on returning from towing the Eleanor out, brought her up the harbor. Messrs M‘Meehan and steamer Tararua arrived off Otago Heads at two o’clock this morning, got underweigh at daylight, and arrived alongside the pier at eight. She left Melbourne on the 22nd; passed Swan Island at six o’clock the following day; in the Straits, and for thirty hours after leaving land, had strong easterly winds, and during the latter part westerly winds, which increased to a strong gale; arrived at the Bluff at six p.m. on the 27th, and anchored off the Pilot Station for the night, and steamed up to wharf at daylight on the 28th; discharged a large quantity of cargo, and left at eleven a.m. on the 29tb, arriving in Port Chalmers as above.

LOSS OF THE BRIG AUSTRALIA AT CAPE CAMPBELL.

The brig Scotsman, Capt. Rogers, arrived in harbor yesterday afternoon, bringing intelligence of the wreck and loss of all hands of the brig Australia, from Newcastle, bound for Timaru, with a cargo of coal. Capt. Rogers reports that he left Newcastle on Monday, the 13 th inst., and experienced favorable winds until making the land, sighting Cape Farewell on the 21st; wind light and variable on the 22nd; on the 23rd passed Cape Campbell in company with the brig Australia, wind blowing a strong gale from the N.W., and sailing under double-reefed topsails; at 4.30 pm. the wind suddenly fell light, and then veered as suddenly to the S. W. ; commenced to shorten sail, but before the sails were fast a terrific gale set in, and was forced'to bear up for Cook Straits in company with the brig Australia,"which was running with every sail set, the Scotsman running with two low* topsails and foretopmast staysail; at 5.30 p.m. the maintopsail burst; had to cut it away in order to save the yards, and also for the safety of the ship; at this time the wind was blowing a furious hurricane; at 6 p.m. the foretopsail sheet carried away; clewed it up as best we could, and cut the fragments that remained from the yard; the foretopmaat staysail at this time was in ribbons, and the ship broached to when on the starboard tack, and the vessel was pooped by a heavy sea, which made a cleanßreach, smashing bulwarks, etc.—the deck full of water; everything loose was thrown overboard to save the stanchions, and also for the safety of the crew; at 7 p.m. got a new foretopmast staysail set, and ran the ship before the wind. Cape Campbell light bearing N.W.; at this tune saw a green light passing about a mile inside of us, and which was supposed to be the brig Australia ; at 9 30 p.m. rounded Cape Campbell, and the gale abated, the wind falling light until midnight, when it was calm; at 8 a.m. next morning, one of the men aloft reported that he saw something floating on the lee bow; at 10 a.m. saw it was the wreck of a ship; tacked the vessel, got out the boat, and sent her with the mate and four hands to ascertain wlfkt it was; on his return he reported that it was the brig Australia; at 2 p.m., the weather being fine, ran the brig alongside the wreck and made fast, but was only able to secure the mainmast; had northerly winds down the coast. The brig Australia was owned and commanded by Capt. Craig, and the crew numbered ten hands.— Lyttelton Times , May 28.
