The schooner Pioneer was taken into Jackson’s floating dock this morning. Thes.s. Beautiful Star, from Oamaru, arrived last night. , The steamers Wanganui for the Bluff, and Maori for Timaru and Lyttelton, sailed last Jlnon Belle, for Gatlin’s Paver, sailed this morning. ~ ~ .. . , The s.s. Wellington left the railway pier at 6.30 last evening, her mails and passengers being conveyed from Dunedin by the 5. Id tram. Tho brig Chanticleer, with a general cargo of Hobart Town produce, _ was towed up by the tug Geelong this morning, and anchored off Carey’s Bay. Captain Phillips reports leaving Hobart Town at 7 p.m. on the 20th, with a light northerly wind ; cleared Storm Lav noon next day with a moderate westerly wind ; passed between the snares and Stewart’s island at 9 p.m. on the 25th, the barometer falling fast; at midnight tho wind came round to the north-west, increasing to a heavy gale with a high sea running; hove to on the port tack for eighteen hours, when the weather moderated; passed tho Nuggets at 4 a.m. on the 28th with fight north-east and baffling winds until 4 a.m. on the 29th, when the wind suddenly shifted to the south-west, blowing hard; anchored at the Heads at 5 a.m., and arrived at 10 a.m. this morning. The Chanticleer left here on the afternoon of the 4th, and arrived at Hobart Town on the 12th. thus making the passage to Hobart Town and back, including detention, in twenty-five days. We thank Captain Phillips for Hobart Town papers to the day of sailing. Messrs Shaw, Savill, and Co.’s magnificent clipper ship Hydaspcs arrived from London last evening after a rapid voyage of seventyfive days from land to land, the fastest passage on record. An estimate of tho admirable sailing fjnalities of the Hydaspcs may be formed from the fact, that in four weeks the ship sailed 7,413 miles, making an average of 2612 miles per day for that time, and taking into consideration the loss of time, llh. 26min., at the average of eleven knots per hour would give tho average of 269,| miles per day ; it is also notable that in one week 2,018 miles ivere made. On Monday, 2Sth July, at eleven a.m., in tacking ship, working the mainsail, the weather main shoot threw three ofthe male emigrants overboard. Tho ship backed on one, and he was hauled on board. Life bnoys were tlirown to the other two (one a boy). One could swim, and secured a life-buoy; the other could not, and his struggles could be witnessed from the ship. In the meantime the life-boat was manned, and was reaching tho boy, sinking for the last time, when Mr Watson, the third officer, dived from the boat, and brought him up. Three hearty cheers were given when tho boat reached the ship with the rescued. The boy was a long time recovering from partial drowning, but afterwards did well. —Auckland Star, 20th,
