The Charybdis, which arrived at Auckland on the 20th August, from this port, will after discharging load for Fiji. , The schooner Transit, Captain Hooper, cleared the Onehunga Customs on August 23rd for Lyttelton, with a cargo of 05,000 feet of timber, which will be loaded at the Whatipu Mills. The barque Mary Ann Annison, Captain Hughes, entered out at Auckland on August 23rd, for an Australian port, via Waugaroa. The s.s. Hawea sailed at 1 p.m. on Saturday. The s.s. Wanaka, Captain MeGillivray, arrived at 9.45 a.m. yesterday. Her purser, to whom we are indebted for files, reports that she left Port Chalmers at 4 p.m. on Saturday, and experienced strong southerly gale and heavy sea along the coast. She brings 100 tons of cargo for this port, and sails North this afternoon. The Wanaka was unable to call at Akaroa owing to the heavy sea, and therefore discharges her cargo for that port here. Amongst her imports we notice fifty-one bales of wool and five of rags, for the ship Waikato. The s.s. Wakatipu, Captain Cameron, arrived on Saturday at 2 p.m., after a long and stormy passage from Wellington of twenty-three hours. A strong southerly gale was against her the whole way, but being well down in the water she managed to make good headway against it. Mr Newman, her purser, to whom we are indebted for files, reports that she left Sydney at 4 p.m. on the 25th, and experienced fresh westerly winds with high sea on clearing the Heads, which moderated gradually into a steady S.W. breeze. Stephen’s Island was passed at 7 a.m. on the 30th, the steamer reaching Wellington at 3 p.m. that day. She discharged ninety tons of cargo there, and sailed for this port at 3 p.m. on the 31st, arriving as above. The steamer was berthed at No. 3 Wharf, and having discharged fifty tons of cargo sailed for Port Chalmers at 11 a.m. yesterday. ARRIVAL OF THE WAIMATE. The New Zealand Shipping Company’s ship Waimate was signalled this morning about 10. As the vessel is not yet inside we have no account of her passage. She was just sighted from the North, and no doubt passed the heads in the night. As she passed Deal on Jnne 7th, she is 88 days out this morning. The Waimate, as will be seen by her passenger list, brings a great many passengers. THE WRECK OF THE QUEEN BEE. The Lady Barkley confirms the report brought by the Waipara relative to the wreck of the Queen Bee. The only portion of the vessel to be seen is the bow and some of the timber, her top sides being completely torn off. The Lady Barkley brought a few packages of candles. Nearly all the light cargo has floated out of the vessel, and has been cast up on the beach in all directions. The Murray, which visited the wreck early in the afternoon, found the steamer Waipara moored alongside, and the diver at work. The latter had then been down an hour and a half during which time he had sent up twenty-three cases of drapery. Ac. He reported that there was a large quantity of the cargo easily obtainable. A petition to the Governor in reference to the suspension of the certificate of Mr Going, the second mate of the Queen Bee, has been drawn up, and is now being signed. It sets foi-th— (1) that although the Court had considered that technically there had been a neglect of duty on his part, his conduct after the -wreck was such as to entitle him to the highest praise; (2) that he was not respon sible for the loss of the ship as the captain and first officer were really in charge ; (3) that after arriving at Motueka he at once started back for the wreck, in the hope of being of assistance; (4) that from the time of the wreck until the following Saturday he assisted in the search for the missing in the most praiseworthy and self-denying manner. The prayer of the petition is that His Excellency—(l) will not confirm the suspension of Mr Going’s certificate ; (2) that he will recommend to the Board of Trade that his certificate be returned to him without suspension; (3) that in the meantime he will issue a New Zealand certificate of competency to Mr Going as first mate, or of any such other grade as he may think fit. A petition in the captain’s favor is also in course of signature. THE WRECK OF THE SCHOONER ST. KILDA. The following items are from the “ Grey River Argos” of the 2Sth ult.: —The Dispatch, after a considerable amount of labor, managed to secure the tow line which was lost in attempting to tow in the St. Kilda. The lino was picked up by a grapnel on Saturday, and several attempts were made to underrun it, hut all failed. It was evidently fast to some obstruction in mid-channel. Yesterday morning Captain Kitchingluuu was more successful, as after bending four hawsers on it ho managed to mu one end to the shore, and then got the end on hoard the vessel, from whence it was dragged from its resting place. The line for about 20 feet in the middle is much cut, as if it had been iu contact with irou, and it is supposed that it must have caught on part of some old wreck —An attempt was made on Sunday night to give the St. Kilda a list to laud, instead of to sea as at present, by placing tackle to her topmasts at high tide, hut the strain was too much for the weight to move, and both fore and main-masts went by the board. All the cargo has now been got out, and a survey was held ou the hull yesterday by Captains Allardyce and Agnew, and they recommended her abandonment. Judging from present appearances there is little likelihood of the St. Kilda ever again being afloat. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. Port Chalmers, September 3. Arrived —Wakatipu and Hawea, from Lyttelton. Wellington, September 3. The schooner Excelsior, from Havelock, bound to Lyttelton, putiiu wind bound. She sails again this afternoon.
