The Tanpo bronght 105 tons cargo for this port, which she discharged at the steamers' wharf, and sailed North at 10.30 p.m. on Saturday. The schooner Nellie, Captain Armstrong, left the Thames on November Ist, at 5 p.m., with fine westerly weather, which held to the East Cape, that point being passed on November 3rd, at C a.m. Thence had fine north-west weather to Cape Turnagain, on Tuesday, November 4th. The rest of the passage was stormy. Hove-to off Flat Point for four hours, the wind being N.W.; and again for sixteen hours off Cape Palliser, with a S.W. wind; and thence had unsettled weather till arrival in fcorbour at 7 p.m. on Saturday. The schooner Acadia, Captain McDonald, left Anckland on Saturday, November 3rd, with a N.W. wind, which held till off Hawke's Bay; thence westerly till crossing the Straits. On Thursduy, November Bth, had a southerly wind, which continned all the day, when it changed to northerly, lasting till arrival in harbour at 7 tt.ni. on Saturday. She bring* * c»rsro cf *hr.b«»r The brigantine Island Lily, Captain Cooper, left Chatham Islands on Friday, November 2nd; Lad heavy westerly weather, varying from N.W. to S.W., across. Made the land on Friday, 9th, and arrived at an anchorage at 3 p in. on Saturday. She brings a cargo of wool, tallow, horses, and cattle. The captain reports that only a small part of the wreck of the Ocean Mail is now visible above water. The barque Queensland was towed out into the stream by the p.s. Titan on Saturday, ready for a start. The barque Australian Sovereign was berthed at No. 3 Wharf, and the Larkan, brigantine, at Cunningham's Wharf, on Saturday. The schooner Nelson, from Waitapu, with timber, arrived in harbor yesterday afternoon. The Neptune, brig, Captain Chadwick, arrived at Newcastle from this port on October 24th; left again, with a cargo of coal for Wellington, on the 31st, and reached that port on November 9th. She reports passing twenty-two vessels in the Straits, apparently bound Westward. It was expected when the Orient line placed the steamships Lusitania, Chimborazo, and Cuzoo in the Australian trade, that they would be followed by larger and even finer vessels, such as the PotOsi and others, but as there is an improvement in the shipping trade to and from Peru and Chili, and the West Coast generally, just now, the Pacific S. N. Co. are likely to require all their available fleet. The Cuzco, it is said, will be followed by a new steamer, built for the Netherlands India Company, and called the Stad Amsterdam, thus implying that the Lusitania has been withdrawn.

■WRECK OF THE FEANCES GEETEUDE. This smart clipper vessel, little more than two years and a half old, came to an untimely end on the roekn in Banks's Strait. The first intimation oi.' the disaster was brought to Melbourne by Cuptain J. Phillips, master of the schooner, who, along with the crew, were brought on from Goose Island, where the Francis Gertrude was wrecked, by the s.s. Southern Cross. The Francis Gertrude was regularly engaged in trading to the West Coast of New Zealand, and when the accident occurred she was on her return from Westport, Buller Eiver, whence she sailed on the 3rd nit., with a cargo consisting of 128 hides, 54 bundles of sheepskins, and 14 casks of tallow. When "Wilson's Promontory was passed, a heavy westerly gale was encountered, during which several sails were blown away. The gale lasted until the 11th, when Capt. Phillips squared away for Preserviition Island, tor shelter and to repair damages. The repairs being effected, the schooner left again on the 20th at 4 a.m., and at 10 a.m., when abreast of Goose Island, the ensign at the lighthouse was observed union down. On standing further in to ascertain what the signal of distress might mean, Captain Phillips was informed that the superintendent of the lighthouse »'.ation on the island was dead, and a request was made that the body might be taken on to Melbourne. The schooner was brought up about three-quarters of a mile from the shore, in seven fathoms water, but in getting under way again with the corpse on board, the wind shifted suddenly into the S.E., and the pea or fluke of the anchor gave way, and before the anchor could be got the schooner drifted on to the rocks, where she lies high and dry with a list to seaward, and several holes in the bottom. All the provisions were lost, tut most of the clothing belonging to the crew was saved. The s.s. Southern Cross, however, on passing the island at 1 p.m. on Thursday, noticed that something was amiss, and went close in, and on learning the circumstances, Captain Cupurn had the shipwrecked people taken on board. The Francis Gertrude was built at Penguin Creek fully two years and a half ago, and was owned by Messrs T. Bailey and J. W. Humphrey, of Westport.
