The Wave of Life, schooner, lost one of her boats ms she was leaving the harbor yesterday, and put hack with her ensign flying union down, as though in distress. The novel method of making herself reported caused the telephone to be set in motion from the signal station at tho Heads, and the steam tug Lyttelton was despatched down to her, only to find that she was in distress from the loss of the boat. One of the hopper barges picked ap the dingy soon after and turned it over to the schooner, which then proceeded on her voyage. The Charlotte A. Littlefield, an American barque, last hero in command of Captain Carver, arrived yesterday from New York, commanded by Captain Oclcord. She left there on tho 18th of June last, and fell in with a succession of light winds through both the trade belts, thus protracting her voyage. Her cargo includes a large quantity of reapers and binders, and the vessel comes consigned to Messrs Wood, Shand and Co., who give the usual notice to consignees in the regular columns. The |brig Robin Hood, Captain Yule, arrived yesterday from Calcutta, with a miscellaneous oargo as above. She left there on August 7th, and bfld strong S.W. monsoons in tho Bay and heavy sea.

Tho City of Cashmere was loading for this port when the brig left. The vessel is consigned to her owners, Messrs Boyse, Stead and Co. The German barque Gustav Metzler arrived yesterday from Boston with a cargo of general merchandise. She left Boston on 23rd Jane, and thus had a long passage of 139 days. She crossed tho Equator August Bth, and passed the Cape of Good Hope on September 25th. Tho passage was lost in the S.E. trad© belt, through which the weather alternated between hard sqnolls from the southward mnd calms.
