On Tuesday evening the steamer Luna went out to look for the derelict brig Star of the Mersey, and found her off Alligator Point, only a few miles from where she was supposed to have gone down. The vessel was riding with two anchors down. There was no one on guard. She had evidently been left in a hurry, the sextant and chart and oilskins and clothes being left behind. The vessel was in good condition and well supplied with provisions, and she had only two feet of water in the hold. She was pumped, her anchors raised, and towed into Wellingtonlast night. AUSTRALIAN NEWS. [Per Albion, via Hokitika.] Melbourne. The defalcations of J. Walpole, secretary for the Dundas Shire Council, who committed suicide, have been found to be £IOOO. It is unlikely that Mr Stevenson, Secretary of Railways, will return to the colony. All the Australian colonies will probably be jointly represented at the Paris exhibition. The telegraph from Adelaide to Western Australia is expected to be completed sometime next month. Oats are in good demand.
