Eaeby having discharged her general cargo was hauled; off from the railway pier this morning alongside the hulk California to discharge her coals, after which she will be taken into the Graving Dock for the purpose of being cleaned and having her bottom recoated. Tha particulars of the wreck of the A. S. N. Company’s Eangatira, off the Isle of Pines, show that the steamer struck the reef early in the meming. It was dark and raining. She was carried out of her course by the current. At daylight all wore landed on an island. The wreck sold for LIBO. Captain Woods was on deck, and no blame is attached to him.

BOTTON’B TRIP TO DOVER. The exploit of Captain Boyton in creasing the Channel has naturally created a good deal of interest wherever recorded, and ire (‘ Post ’) have been favored by Dr Diver, of Wellington, with a copy of the report communicated to the medical papers by his brother, Dr T. Diver, who attended Captain Boyton during his adventurous voyage. Dr Diver, in the course of this, says :—“ After he had been between four and five hours in the water I visited him. He complained of feeling very sleepy and drowsy. These symptoms had entirely passed away when I again spoke to him, and he was cheerful and happy. Living at an hotel, constantly being interviewed, champagne, Ac., no doubt contributed to the disturbance of the bile noticed before staiting. During the whole period subsequently he complained of nothing at all, always stating that he waa better than when he left Dover. He was nearly twenty-four houre without food. As for ; the temperature, he first of all gained two degrees F.; and, after being fifteen hours in the water without food, only lost, from the time of starting, nearly seven degrees F. Captain Boyton was out the next mo ning early, smoking his cigar, and was certainly very much better than when he left Dover; in fact, he seemed in rude health. It occurred to me, during the voyage and subsequently, that the exertion he underwent was not to great as one would suppose. He is warm, lying at his ease, and when ho has his sail up he merely uses his wrists in paddling. He suffers by the sail pulling at his foot, and although the sea was very high, he never was submerged, but rode every wave like a duck. A spectator would think that he was being terribly knocked about, whilst he was merely passing gracefully from wave to wave. ”
