The schooner Canterbury, Captain Brown, arrived in harbour yesterday at 12.30 p.m. from Pelorus Sound.

As there appeared to be no doubt that the barqne Edwin Bassett was one of the three vessels—one of which was lost—that were seen running down Blind Bay by the lighthouse keeper at Cape Farewell during the equinoctial gale which swept across New Zealand during last month, it is so far satisfactory to state that Captain Williams yesterday received a telegram stating that the Edwin Bassett arrived at Newcastle on the sth instant. The three vessels spoken of are supposed to have been the Edwin Bassett, the American brigantine Osseo, and the Melbourne schooner Melbourne, the latter of which is generally supposed to be the ill-fated craft. She arrived here from Melbourne on Feb. 27th, with a quantity of powder and arms for the Colonial Government, and a large shipment of blasting powder for Lyttelton, for which port she left on March Ist. After leaving Lyttelton for Australia she was doubtless endeavoring to stand Ihrough Cook Strait, when she was overtaken by by the violent gale in Blind Bay. The Melbourne was a topsail schooner of 57 tons register, and commanded by Captain Eadcliile.—“ N.Z. Times,” April 13 th. ENGLISH SHIPPING.
