The Desdemona, ship, was towed out from the Gladstone Pier by the p.s. Titan yesterday. She will complete her ballasting in the stream. The s.s. Wellington, after taking in a large cargo (110 tons), at the screw pile jetty, sailed north at 1.30 p.m. yesterday. The schooner Young Dick left Wellington for this port August 2nd. The topsail schooner Hannah Barrett sailed from Wellington July 29th for this port. The brigantine J. G. Coleson left Wanganui on the 37th ult, in ballast for Picton, at which port she will load a cargo of timber for Lyttelton. The barque Ann Armitage, Captain Hogg, hence, arrived at Poverty Bay on July nth. The Union Co’s s.s Hawea, Captain Wheeler, arrived on Wednesday at 9 p.m, after a stormy passage of twenty-nine hours trom Wellington. She kit Onehunga at 2 p m on the 28th ultimo, and arrived at New Plymouth at 8 a.m on the 29th ; left at 1 p m, and arrived at Nelson at 4 a.m on the 30th; left at 3 p m on the 3lst, and arrived at Picton at 11 p.m ; left at 0 p.m on the Ist instant, and arrived at Wellington at 11 a in; left at 4 p.m, arriving as above. Fresh easterly and S.E. winds were experienced to Wellington, from thence strong southerly gales prevailed to arrival. We are obliged to Mr Newman, the purser, for report and files. The Hawea was berthed at the No 2 Wharf yesterday, to discharge and load, aud sailed South at 1.30 p m, The “Evening Pont of July 31st says:—“We regret to learn that Messrs Beck and Tonics' ioiiuoucr loung Dick, which arrived from Hobart Town on Saturday, brings no tidings ol the missing brig Britain’s Pride, belonging to the same firm, and now forty-live days out Irom Ihe same place. The gravest apprehensions are now felt in reference to the fate of the brig. It is known that she must have encountered the full force of last month’s terrific gale, and probably at no great distance from the West Coast of the Middle Island of New Zealand, which would be a lee shore to her. Whether she has been driven ashore and wrecked on that rock-bonnd coast line or whether she has foundered at sea can only be conjectured, and may never be known. It is not impossible that she may have been merely disabled, and may turn up even yet, but the chances are heavily against such a favorable termination of tin present suspense. If she did founder at sea li is to be feared tHat all hands must have been lost, as no boat could live in the sea which must have been running during h« storm.” The following is a condensed report of the wreck of the barque Coq du Village, taken from the “ Napier Telegraph” :—The Coq du Village made a protracted run from Newcastle of twenty-four days. She was 312 tons register, and was owned iu Newcastle by Captain W. F. Weatherill and Messrs John Reid and Co. She was partially insured, and was chartered by Mr Vautier, of Napier, for the conveyance of coal, consisting of 442 tons. She was built at Quebec, of American pine, in the year 1865. Captain Edmonds reports that after dinner, seeing that the gale was likely to continue, he ordered the third bower anchor to be got in readiness, but while in the act of getting it ready, the port bower chain parted.' Veered cable cautiously on the starboard Aacbor to About eixty-fiye fatUotue, got a

tackle on the broken chain, and proceeded to haul it on board. Intending to bend it to the third bower. While thus employed, the starboard chain parted, and the vessel began to drift rapidly towards the breakers. Set the staysail and foretopsail, but finding the ship unmanageable, slipped the ends of the cables as soon as possible. Before this could be completed, the ship was close into the beach amongst the heavy breakers, beyond all chance of being saved. Put the helm up, when as the ship paid off, she struck stem on, the sea making a clean breach over, smashing the wheel, and knocking Caxstain Edmonds’ legs through the binnacle light. The ship then canted broadside on to the beach, and fell over with a list off. The sea was at this time breaking clean over her, and the ship rapidly breaking up. The first attempt to reach shore was made by the mate, who was lowered overboard with a rope round his waist by Captain Edmonds, The attempt failed, the mate being twice sucked underneath the vessel; and being nearly exhausted, was hauled up again on deck. By this time Mr Kraeft had arrived, and having provided himself with a line, succeeded lu throwing it on board. To this a rope was attached, and one by one the men were brought ashore, Captain Edmonds being the last to leave his ship. Some idea of the terrific force of the sea may be gathered from the fact that the vessel parted her cables at half-past one o’clock In the afternoon, and by the time Captain Edmonds reached shore the beach was strewed with the wreck, the whole occupying no longer than an hour.
