The Lizzie Guy, the pioneer at least of the Bailing fleet of the new Freight Company, has arrived at Westport, but it seems that she came very nearly bringing a cargo of corpses. She made a capital, run across, and as a finale the fool of a cook very nearly poisoned all on board. We have been favored by Captain Turnbull, Chief Harbor-master, with the inspection of a letter received by him from Captain Leech, Harbor-master at Westport, and from it we extract the following“ The Lizzie Guy, one of your new fleet, formerly Tucker’s vessel, arrived this morrting (June 25), and, with her usual luck, sailed in. She is under the command of Captain Houston, formerly chief officer of the Sarah and Mary, with Duncan. He has been fourteen days coming down. All hands, except the man at the wheel, pearly poisoned yesterday, owing to the cook putting some arsenic (which he mistook for soda) in the flour which was used at dinner, made up into pancakes. He must be a stupid chap, as it was labelled, as usual with all poisonous matter, but he never noticed it. Fortunately, all are recovering —the master was the worst. drank warm water as an emetic, with good results.”— Star (Hokitika), Jufte 26.

The fine frigate built ship Cospatrick was signalled at Port Chalmers at an early flour on Sunday morning, and the Geelong at once got steam up and went in search of her, bringing her up at mid-day, and left her in the quarantine "round, she having a quantity of powder on board, which will be transhipped to-day, when the sflip will be brought up into the stream. Captain Elmsley reports leaviji" Gravesend on the 20th March, and left her pilot off Portland on the 22nd, The N.E. trades were light, and were lost in 6deg. N. Moderate weather was experienced to the equator, which was crossed on the 22nd April in 23deg. 3niin. W. The S.E. trades were also light, and baffling weather was met with before rounding the Cape. The meridian of Greenwich was passed on the 20th May in 39deg. S., and tbs Cape on the 25th in 43deg. On May 27 a furious gale was encounteied of twelve hours’ duration, which carried away several new sails. The barometer stood at 28.60, with high confused seas. Moderate weather then prevailed till June 17, when m 45deg. 30min. g., 101 E. another gale was met with from the W.N.W., and changing to W.S.W, with mountainous seas, the ship scudding with lower main and fora-topsails during the gale. A sea struck her stern, knocking in all her dead lights and filling the cuddy with water, spoiling the captain’s charts and chronometers. and damaging a lot of the ships stores; the barometer at the time was as low as 28.40. After this mishap more moderate weather set in. Passed Tasmania on Jone 2->, and made the Snares last Monday morning. Her easting was run down between 45deg. and vailed 46deg.

millan gave birth to ft son. No deaths occurred. Cospatriok brings two splendid stallions, a Clydesdale and a thoroughbred, the property of Mr Mitchell, one of her cabin passengers.

THE WRECK OF THE FIDELIA.

Intelligence of a sad disaster, in which Australia is to some extent concerned, was received by the Cape mall, which arrived on Monday. The Fidelia, a steamer of 714 tons, commanded by Captain Swanston, bound to either Sydney or Melbourne, and intended for the mail service between New Zealand and Australia, was totally lost off Cape Recif on the night of Monday, 7th April. She had discharged her coal at .t able Bay, and shipped a large quantity of produce for the Australian market and Mauritius, with which she sailed on the 4th. After calling at Mussel Bay she proceeded towards Port Elizabeth. In making the harbor she kept too close in shore and ran upon a rocky bottom soon aftei passing the lighthouse. The passengers reached the shore in safety, and a good deal of cargo was subsequently got out of the vessel; most of if. however, was in a more or less damaged condition. A difficulty is likely to arise in regard to the insurance, as the vessel was insured to make the passage from England to 1 able liay, and thence to Australia. The Cape Town offices will lose some L 2,000 or L 3,000 on the cargo shipped there. The hull and all remaining on board was sold by auction on the 10th for L6OO, and the sails, stores, &c., on shore realised L 300. Home paper.
