The ketch Becamia, belonging to Messrs Cook Bros, of Lyttelton, took the ground coming oat of Foxton on Saturday night last, and hod to put back. The barque Wild Wave arrived on Saturday from Hobart, having made a good passage of twelve days. Captain Anderson reports that when passing the Nuggetts he saw a large vessel close in shore or apparently on shore. He was too far off to speak positively on the subject, and simply reports the matter as an unusual sight. The Wild Wave is consigned to Mr W. H. Hargreaves with timber, jams, &c, asd was berthed directly she arrived. The iron barque Beechdale, Captain Jenkins, now at Dunedin, 'and which has some 700 or 800 tons of cargo for this port, was ninetyfour days from Liverpool to Port Chalmers. She sighted the City of Nankin a little to the southward of Port Chalmers oh the 6th inst. _ . The Beeehdale is five years old, Liverpool built, am and is classed 100 Al at Lloyds, fcha is 792 tons register, and is consigned to the iNew Zealand Shipping Company. Thirty-six steamers and seven sailing vessels represent the total business done in the Port Chalmers graving dock since January last. The total registered tonnage was 22,810 tons. Thirty-one of the thirty-six steamers belonged to the Union Steamship Company, se that the casual business done in the eight months really amounts to but twelve vessels, with a total tonnage of 7929 tons. And yet Dunedin people talk seriously of the dreadful necessity there is for another graving dook at Fort Chalmers. The s s. Wanaka left for Wellington at 9.15 p.m with the outgoing mail for the San Francisco steamer. Captain McConnell, ship City of Nankin, reports epealting the Coronilla in 46 50 S. '. ■ 107.30 8., 109 days out, bound from London to Lyttelton. THE CORONILLA. The overdue barque Coronilla arrived on Sunday night from London, finishing a by no means unpleasant passage, as far as the passengers were concerned, of 131 days. There were ten passengers, amongst whom no serious illness occurred. There was a birth daring the voyage Captain Bibinaon repoita: "Left London May 2nd, passed Portland itfay 7th. and took N.E. trades on May 27th in 21.30, which lasted to June 10th in 7N. lat; crossed the equator in 25.40 W. on Jane 15th ; had no S.E. trades, but a good deal of light t>. W. weather to 21 S. on June 30th. Crossed Greenwich meridian July 23rd, and that of the Cap > on the 30th of ►- - --ferry. Was twenty-six days from the Cape of Good Hope to Cape Leu win, making the Easting between the 44th and 46th parallels. Passed Tasmania September 2nd, and the Snares on the 7th instant, since which variable weather was experienced." The vessel was berthed at the Gladstone pier to discharge, and the entry at the Customs duly made by her agents, Messrs lidwards, Bennett and Co. WAS IT A WBECK? Captain Anderson, of the barque Wild Wave, reports that last Monday when passing the coast between Catlin'b Biver and Nugget Point, be noticed in shore what appeared to be a large vessel with her foremast and mizzen-znast only standing. He was at a considerable distance, and cannot speak positively, but both himself and his chief officer agree that the vessel had all the appearance of having lost her mainmast and of being ashore somewhere near False Inlet. Captain Anderson says he did not think much of the affair, supposing that had a wreck occurred there the steamers passing constantly and much closer in shore than he was would have been certain to have seen it, and bo made it known, or that the news would have quickly bee? spread by persona on shore living in the vicinity. As stated, he was too far off to mako out with his glass what the vessel was more than that she wob not under canvas, and the wajtcK appeared to be level with her deck.

THE CITY OF NANKIN

The report that the barque Coronilla was off the Heads on Friday night was incorrect, the torque proving to be the Wild Wave, from Hebart. The Coronilla, among the shipping from Lcndan, was, no doubt, first expected, being long -overdue, and the Thome should have made her appearance ere now, but the City of Nankin seems to have outdistanced both vessels considerably, and when she entered tbe harbor on Saturday, though ninety-seven days out, she may be said to have scarcely been expected. The ship had a rough papaige of it as shown in the report courteously supplied by Captain MeCoDneU, who has been away from here about isight months only. 'J here were na passengers - -■»£ the vessel. Following is tbe report :—Left tharDocks June 3rd, parted with the tug on the sth, and massed the Lizard on the 10th. Had N.E. trades from 32 N. to 8 IS., and crossed the line in 28 W. on July 4th. On the 9th of July A squall split the foresail, and carried away the fore and main topgallant masts and flying jibboom. On July 17th the B.E. trades were lost in 32 8., and Greenwich meridian was crossed on the 26th in 37 S., that of the Cape en August 10th of August, in 49 E , longitude 44 S„ tbe forutqpßiil was split, »nd the foreyard sprung in the slinga. Tremendous saas Bwept the vessel's decks at intervals duriDg the thirty-six hours of the gale Another pale and more flooding of ihe decks occurred immediately following the one just reported. Crossed the meridian ef Cape Leuwin on August 25th in 47 S., and on August 31st passed Tasmania, making the Snares on the 4th inst. £ nchored in port at 1 p.m. OB Saturday, and was cleared by the Health Officer. The City of Nankin will be berthed to-day, and consignees are notified of her readincF« to discharge by her agents, Messrs Edwards, Bennett and Co. f SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. Wellington, Septembar 11.
