The ship May Queen, barque Robert Jones, and brig Somerville were discharging their cargoes at the railway pier this morning. The p.s. Samson returned from her usual trip to Oamarn on Saturday afternoon, and steamed alongside the ship Christian M'Ausland to discharge wool. The ship Auckland commenced to unmoor this morning, but on account of her windlass breaking down and it being ebb tide she will not be towed_ to the railway pier until high water this evening. The ship Jessie Headman sailed for Wellington on Saturday evening, being towed to sea by the Geelong. She goes in charge of Captain Stevens, Captain Mitchell being unable to "o through severe illness. ° A Lyttelton telegram in the Auckland ‘Star’ of the 18th inst. states that the deckhouse of the missing schooner Xaituna was seen thirty miles off the coast, and that all hopes of her safety are now given up. The s.s. Wanganui left the Bluff on Saturday night, and arrived at Port Chalmers at 8.15 a. hi. yesterday, having made a very smart run up the coast. She did not stay at Port Chalmers, but passed on to Dunedin. The p.s. Comerang arrived from Oamarn shortly after daylight yesterday. She left Port Chalmers at 6.30 p.m. on Friday, with the schooner Jane Hannah in tow, for Gatlin’s River, and arrived at Oamaru on Saturday morning. Took in 300 bags of wheat, and left again at 8 p.m., arriving at the Heads at 3 a.m. yesterday. The ketch Huon Belle got off the sand-bank below St. Leonards yesterday morning, after having been lightened by lighters, and afterwards sailed down to Port Chalmers. It is intended to' put her on the slip previous to sending her to sea, as she seems to be a little strained by lying on the bank with her heavy load of iron rails. Referring to onr article upon the wreck of the United Brothers at Oaiparu, and to the letter of Captain Tall on tho same subject in our issue of the 19Or hast., the ‘North Otago Times’ says “It is but right to ourselves and also to our contemporary, in view of this denial on the part of Captain Tall, to state that what appeared in our article was strictly correct, as will appear by the following facts:—A preliminary inquiry was held at the Custom-house, Oamaru, on the Ist October, into the circumstances of the stranding of the Richard and Mary. A reporter was sent, but was informed that the inquiry being only a preliminary one, and not an investigation ordered by the department, the proceedings were private. A similar preliminary inquiry in the case of the United Brothers was held on the sth October, to which consequently a reporter was not sent. In our issue of the 6th appeared a report of the circumstances of the stranding of the vessel, as seen from the beach. This report was in type when Captain Tall called at our office and gave us T certain additional information as to the names of the owners, and as to what vessels he had previously commanded, kc. On that occasion Captain Tall stated, as we afterwards wrote in a leading article on the subject, that at the preliminary inquiry he offered to fetch a bucketful of her planking to show the condition of the vessel.” SHIPPING TELEGRAM. Wellington, November 30.—A ship, supposed to be the Hourah, from London, with about 300 Government immigrants, has just been signalled.
