Captain 1 reemaritle, of B j£ Eclipse, which left Auckland for HL^.uney a short time since, lias been selected to the search. When we remember .the vessels connected with this port which have failed to put in an appear■Hb ce > and respecting which no tidings can be) we are convinced of the necessity I^B&such search. But Auckland does not alone in tJiia matter. The Australian and Tasmania are Enffercrs alike ourselves, and the first intimation we H(pave of tlie projected search is gleaned from W-. -the Jlobart Town Mercury. After advocating necessity and extracting remarks from KjJMUB journal in support of the same, the B^Kgrcun/ states that "orders have been H^KpnbV Commodore Wiseman for the HMErch of the West Coast of the Middle ffijjUMjuid of New Zealand for missing vessels, thSfc the Eclipse has been ordered to te fill up with provisions and j^Ktores, and will then proceed on that misCaptain Freemantle says he shall HPsps.?e no trouble to ascertain whether any of ■F- jhis unfortunate brother seamen are yet. livthe Sounds of the Middle Island, and to send extracts from his log, but as Captain Clarke and the Sanfr^reiieL concerned, they will only be re--1 cords iSf^fruitle^s search/—S outhern Cross, I Bakaia, the third steamer of the Panania-fe left Milford Haven on the 21st r aprij^iPauaina.

Her arrival will be even a greater cause of triumph than the departure of the first ship from this end. The fourth and largest ship, the Mataura, carrying the broad pennant of Captain Bird, commodore of the company's fleet, ought to leave England at the end of May or the beginning of June, and take up her station about'Septeiuber.
