From Manukau to Nelson experienced strong head winds, with very heavy sea, and from thence to arrival variable winds and fine weather. We thank her purser, Mr Willcocks, for Northern files and other favors. She leaves again for the North on Tuesday next.

SUPPOSED FOUNDERING AT SEA. A very painful sensation was created through out the city on Thursday last by a minor that the schooner Mary, a well-known Sydney coaster, had foundered off this port. On inquiry, we learned the following facts, which leave no room for doubt that the vessel has gone down with all hands. The Mary left for Sydney about 11 a.m., in tow of the Rapid, which cast off outside Nobby’s. The man on the look-out at Allan’s Hill, last saw the schooner, with a good offing, about seven miles to the southward, when she suddenly disappeared. Immediately afterwards Capt. Allan, Harbormaster, obtained the services of the Bungaree, and proceeded as far as Redhead, and four miles eastward, but without seeing any signs of £the missing vessel. Ihe Mary was owned and commanded by Mr Armstrong, who, with three others, was on board at the time of the unhappy occurrence. She was about forty tons register, and had the usual quantity of coal on board—sixty-fmr tons. Captain Waddinghara, of the Bungaree, statesthat a heavy westerly gale was blowing outside, and it is supposed that a squall struck the schooner and capsized her. The Newcastle Pilot, from which we get the above particulars, adds this footnote:—“ Since the above was in type, great doubts have been thrown on the correctness of the report. From the fact that the masters of the brigs Oberlin and Hebe state they saw the Mary twenty miles to the southward, it is believed the look-out man may have been mistaken.”
