The master mariners in Auckland harbor played the officers of H.M. Customs a ■cricket match the other day, and "the knights of the broad arrow " had the best of the game. The Auckland whaling barque Especulador, formerly owned by Mr F. Jenkins of this city, left the Bay of Islands on the 16th inst., for the Chatham Island whaling ground. Auckland papers report the death of William H. Stodart, formerly a purser in the Union Company's steamers, and for some time one of the officers in the agency at Lyttelton. The young man was well known here, and was much respected by a wide circle of friends who will receive this vSad news with deep sorrow. The yacht Fleetwing, Captain Joseph Foster, arrived last evening from a four clays' cruise off the Peninsula. She is tinder orders to leave to-day for Pigeon Bay, and it is improbable she will be back for the Lyttelton Regatta. This is a matter for regret, as it had been hoped that in her present splendid order she would have given some of the other yachts a close run in the race. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. Auckland, December 26.
