Messrs Shaw, Saville, and Co’s handsome little ship Langstone cleared the Customs on Saturday afternoon with a cargo valued at £69,132. The following are the items . 3377 bales wool and skins £67,540 4 casks tallow 40 151 hides 145 1399 sacks wheat 1399 ; - • £69,132 Besides this valuable cargo, the Langsloue takes home ten passengers. All is now ready for sea on board, and a start will be effected with the first favorable wind. The Langstone is in splendid going trim, and should make a rapid passage. Captain Miles, of the Rio Loge, informs us that the Young Dick brigantine was to sail from Hobart Town for this port the week after he left. The b.lg Isabellas took her departure for Sydney yesterday, she takes a full cargo of produce shipped by Messrs Royse, Stead, and Co. The brigantines Omaha and Flirt and schooner Jessie Henderson, all Auckland bound vessels, are in the fait way waiting for a start to get away. The three vessels are reckoned smart goers, and no doubt there will be a good race up. On Saturday work was pretty brisk at the Glad* atone pier. The Otaki took in 1000 sacks wheat, and the Himalaya 400 sacks and 50 casks tallow. This latter ship Is now getting well down in the water, and will doubtless till rapidly as soon as the Otaki has finished taking In her stiffening. The Invererne discharged 100 tons general cargo and railway iron, and the Soukar 100 tons bar and pig Iron. . The fine iron brig Rio Loge, Captain Miles, arrived from Hobart Town on Saturday morning early, and was berthed at the Tunnel Wharf. The following Is the captain’s report:—Left Hobart Town February 25th with light N.W. wind. Off Cape Pillar same day was caught with a gale from southward and compelled to run before it; moderate wind from S.E. the following day, On the 27th wind freshened to a very heavy gale from S.E., with tremendous cross sea; scud ship before »t for ten hours, filling decks, galley, forecastle, and cabin with water; 6 p.m., brought ship to the wind under lower main-topsail, when she laid for two hours like a log, almost buried; gale continued as severe during the night, but the sea getting more regular, ship made better weather; thence had moderate S E. wind until 2nd Inst, when it again freshened to a gale; altered the course and bore away for Cook’s Straits; made Cape Farewell on the 6th, wind still S.E.; thence had light variable winds chiefly from northward. Oft Stephen’s Island on 6th passed a barque, supposed to be the Sunbeam ; off Kaikora Peninsula, 4 p.m., 9th inst, spoke the Queen of the South, who wished to be reported. As will be seen by our import list, the Rio Loge brings a large cargo of shingles, palings, and timber, consigned to C. W, Turner. The large vessel (says the “Register ” of November 26th) which was recently discovered embedded many feet below the surface, whilst excavations were being carried on at St Mary’s Island f:r the large fitting-out basin in connection with the extension of Chatham Dockyard, has been entirely unearthed. From all the circumstances connected With the discovery, there is no doubt that the vessel has been buried for over 200 years, and was one of those sunk to impede the Dutch fleet on its coming up the Medway to destroy the dockyard. Amongst other articles found in the vessel were seven guns, large quantities of shot of various kinds, tobacco pipes, a coin bearing the date of 1653, &c.
