The schooner Jane Anderson, with 640 bags of wheat, from Oamaru, arrived at one o’clock this morning. Captain Paterson reports that, On account Of the heavy sea. setting in the Harbor Master hoisted signals to proceed to sea at three p.m. yesterday. Capt. Paterson thought it advisable to slip both anchors at six pm In doing so she missed stays, and fouled the brig Emile, carrying away the schooner s port fore rigging and bulwarks. We regret to say that Captain Paterson, -in coming up the harbor, met with an accident by putting Ins ankle out of joint. We are in receipt of the Australian Trade Review” of last month’s date, in which is contained an article giving a fair idea of the present state of the coal trade of Newcastle. Nothing will go further than the statements contained in it to prove that New Zealand has only to unearth some of her coal wealth to immediately attract the attention of shippers and traders. On the 16th of last month it appears the mine proprietors determined to raise the price of coal to 14s free on board, a ngnre which is an advance of 75 per cent, upon that charged twelve months previously. So far this is favorable to our Colony, inasmuch as it will encourage traders to embrace the first opportunity offered of trading ■with other fields, rather than submit to the arbitrary demands of the Newcastle coal-mine proprietors. The most convincing proof of the detention vessels aro to in Newcastle is the departure of the Euterpe, 1179 tons, from that port in ballast for San Francisco, in preference to waitjug for cosils. In. tho Newcastle ChTOtxtcit of the 18th ult., the registered tonnage of the vessels then in port is stated at 44,563 tons, and the S. M. Herald of the 25th ult. reports the shipping in Sydney to he 37,131 tons amounting in the aggregate to about 81,700 tons in both ports. Vessels at present in Newcastle will have to wait their turn for weeks to come, and shipmasters in that port at present rather eschew Newcastle, and prefer proceeding to their ports of destination in ballast, following vessels are tlius catalogued: British Loeh Awe, 1,214 tons, sailed for Calcutta; and for San Francisco, American Springfield, 1,043, British Cornwallis, 1,214, Queen of Nations, 845, Eskdale, 1,220 tons register, will leave shortly. Should not this information, as also the fact that a return laid on the table of the House, showing the total imports of coal into this Colony during the past three years amounted to 295.286 tons, stimulate the Government and colonists generally to redouble their efforts to open up new coal beds, the existence and the wealth of which there is no manner of doubt. — N.
