Robertson, muster of the steamer Gleuelg, met with an accident while laying the cible from the Hydrabad. By some means or other he got his foot jammed, but it is thought no serious consequences will result, and that in a week he will be all right again. A letter from the agent of the New Zealand Shipping Company to a gentleman in Napier has the following particulars, respecting the City of Auckland, for which we are indebted to the Napier “Daily Telegraph “ 'Hie vessel lies stem on, with a slight list to port, and about 200 to 250 yards below high water mark. The water in her hold had not increased from Thursday to Saturday, so she must be tight. Our scheme for the floating of the cargo is to stretch a wire r> pe from the foremast io shore above high water mark; got the cax'go on the rope with slings, and let it run down the rone till wo can lower it into a dray; then cart it 400 yards to the Otaki river, which will admit a craft drawing five to six feet, and 1 iad into small vessels, which a little steamf r will tow out to a large vessel lying anchored under Kapiti Island, about nine mi es off, where is smooth water. There is a steam winch on board. A Maori gang has been engaged to receive ihe cargo ashore. Tha damageable part of the cargo is stowed high, the railway iron, wire, &c , being in the bottom, so there ought Bat to be much damage, A store will be erected on the beach with the immigrants’ fittings, sails, &0., to cover the goods when landed. Captaiu Beudall is in charge with Captain Rolls. It is intended to charter tiie steamer Mnllogh and the ketch Hnon Belle. The ship has been abandoned to Lloyd's, but the cargo cannot be abandoned without comma ication with the Napier and Auckland consignees. There is very little chance of getting off the ship, but she may be there for mouths. The prevailing winds blow dead on shore, and soon ■work up a heavy sea.”
