The schooner Fiery Cross was berthed yesterday at No l wharf, where she will discharge her cargo of coals. ~ . . , T The following barques were loading coal at Newcastle, for Lyttelton, on June 16th Island City, • 600 tons ; Coq du Village, 600 tons ; Hadda, 600 tons, and brig Craig Ellachie. 400 tons. The schooner Fiery Cross arrived in harbor yesterday at 7 30 a.m. from Greymouth. She left that port on Monday, June 2lst, experienced strong N.E. winds for twenty-four hours, then S.W., light; passed Cape Farewell on June 23rdat 6 p.m., passed Cape Campbell on June 27tli at 8 am., made the Heads at 8 a.m. on Monday last, arriving as above. , ... The s.s. Easby, Captain Kennedy, arrived In harbor yesterday at noon from Newcastle, via Sydney and Wellington. She brought 2250 tons of general cargo for all ports. She left the Cosmopolitan Wharf at midnight on the 18th Instant, and cleared Sydney Heads at 1 a.m. on 19th. Experienced light westerly and southerly winds to Stephen’s Island, from thence strong S.E. winds till arrival. Passed a barqueoff Cape Farewell standing towards the Straits, and arrived at Wellington at 1 p.m. on Friday last; left again at 3.30 p.m. on Monday; experienced light variable winds, arriving as above. We are indebted to Captain Kennedy for files and report. , . . , The fine barque Southern Cross arrived yesterday morning at 8 a.m. Captain Boon informs us that he left Hobart Town on the Bth July, and had moderate easterly winds for the first eight days. Made the Solanders on Saturday week, and thence had light variable winds and calms up the coast. When off Flea Bay a boat was sent ashore for a couple of casks of water for the horses. Out of the fourteen valuable horses she started with, one has been lost on the passage; the others arrived in good order. Most of the green fruit on board was landed yesterday, and she proceeded alongside the Gladstone Pier to-day to land the horses. Captain Johnson has returned from his visit to the proposed site of the lighthouse to be erected on the north head of the entrance to Tory Channel. To decide the site ot the first lighthouse presented no difficulty whatever, but as two lights are to be placed on the headland to facilitate the navigation of vessels through the Channel at night time, to determine the position of the second light was not so easy a matter. The strength and direction of the current varies very much at the entrance. The object therefore is to place the two lights in line, and at such points as arc likely to ensure a minimum of danger, by making allowance for strength of tide- set, &c. Like doctors, mariners differ somesometimes, and It has been deemed expedient lor the present to erect beacons on the headland, so that practical opinions may be obtained from captains of vessels which pass through the channel frequently. The beacons have already been placed and tested by Captain Johnson, but the lighthouse will not be erected until concurrent opinion agrees as to the position to be adopted,—” New Zealand Times.” WRECK OF THE BABQUE P.C.E, On Saturday, at midnight, during the heavy gale and high sea that was running, the wind being almost due east, the barque P. 0. E., In command of Captain Brown, and a regular trader to this port, bound from Dunedin, New Zealand, to Newcastle, in ballast, was in one of the heaviest seas that the captain ever experienced, and became a total wreck. The particulars are these —The barque was proceeding under easy sail, the weather being extremely thick and a frightful high sea running, the wind . blowing a gale. On nearing Lake Macquarie Heads, about one mile to the south, and Dear what is called “ Green Island,” the man on the lookout shouted “Breakers ahead!” Immediately afterwards. an immense sea struck the P, C. E., and carried her masts overboard, and another sent her broadside on to the rocks. Directly afterwards, another sea, with terrible force, struck the vessel amidships, completely severing her in two, sending itsra further oa to the rooks, whew she soon

became a total wreck. The crew, with the exception of three men, reached the beach in safety, by a line that was attached to the wreck, which became entangled in the rocks, but eventually the crew succeeded, by aid of the line, in reaching the shore. It was then discovered that Die cook, a Chinaman, was missing, and up to the present time nothing has been heard of him. The P.C.E. was the property of John Henderson, Esq, of this city, and, we believe, is insured. June Bth.
