The s.s. Murray arrived late last night with the crew of the brig Star of the Mersey, which left Lyttelton for Newcastle on the 10th inst. On Friday when past Stephen’s Island it was blowing furiously, and the vessel was labouring in a heavy sea, so she ran back for Guard's Bay. When abreast of Motagara she was kept away to stay the vessel, but she would not stay, and had no room to wear, and as the ebb tide was setting her on to the island the only alternative was to anchor. At night it blew worse than ever, and the ship began to drag, so on Saturday morning the crew abandoned her, and were picked up by the Murray, which agreed to stop twentyfour hours. She made two unsuccessful attempts to got alongside, and anchored for the night under the nearest shelter. On Saturday night the gale increased to a hurricane, and yesterday morning there was no sign of the brig, which is supposed to have parted her chains and capsized. The brig Albion, which left Hokiunga for Melbourne on the 9th instant, witli kauri logs, arrived yesterday. On the 12th a tremendous gale sprung up, and a heavy sea broke on board, floated the logs and smashed the bulwarks. The ship, laboring and straining severely, sprung a leak, and there were seven feet of water in her hold, which gradually shifted the sand ballast to the starboard,

giving her five feet of a list, to that side. On the 14th the wind increased, and she continued shipping heavy seas, and so ran for Kelson. She will have to be discharged before proceeding to sea. She has five passengers on board.
