{FBX PBBM ASSOCIATION.J AUCKLAND, August 4. On Monday last the schooner Elizabeth Curie, 79 tons, bound from Lyttelton to Auckland, went rshore on Cuvier Island, near the Great Burlier. and became a wreck. No lives were lost. It appears that when off the island the wind died away, and the venel drifted towards the shore. Forty-five fathoms of cable were ran out, but did not hold, and she went on the rooks. The crew went ashore in a boat, and after repairing it, returned to the site of the wreck, and found the vessel had entirely disapneared. They then proceeded to the Barrier, took in provisions, and arrived here after a passage of thirty-six hours. The vessel belonged to Mr S'. Jenkins’, of Lyttelton, and £4CO was recently spent in repairs. It has been ascertained that the Elizabeth Curie was insured as follows: South British £230. New Zealand £275, National £250, and Union £IOO, irrespective of £76 on freight. DUNEDIN, August 4.

Mr Jobberns having resigned bis posit-’on as one of the btmdioappers of the Jockey Club, Mr_ William Bounnees, of Gore, hes been appointed instead. INVEEOABGILL, August 4.

What appears to be a portion of a recent wreck just pioked up on the beaoh At Bluff comprises the lowpt topsail yard of a large ship, and the face of a figure head The faoe ia that of a woman, with flowing ba ; r, above the forehead being a large atar, gi'ded where the face is broken. The wood seemed aa fresh as though not separated fram the other part of the figure more than three or four months. It is asserted the wreckage does not belong to any vessel that has been ashore at or near the Bluff, and it is possibly portions of some missing vessels, suoh as the Minydon, Loch Maree, or others.
