The s.B. Alhambra, from Nelson, is expected here on Sunday morning, and is announced to sail at 8 a.m. for Melbourne direct. The s.s. Gothenburg arrived at the Bluff, from Melbourne direct, early yesterday morning. The telegrams of news brought by her will be found in another column. The brig Magnet, Captain Clinskill, from Melbourne, arrived in the roadstead on Thursday, And was brought to the wharf by the p.s Dispatch yesterday morning. We are unable to publish the usual report of her trip, because her master refused to give it, alleging as a reason that " the trips of his vessel had never been done justice to." We were under the impression we had done ample justice to the vessel in question, but as it seems we were mistaken, we have only to add that it is a matter of utter indifference to us whether these reports are given or not They have always been published as a matter of public information, and not with the object of " puffing ;> any particular vessel. The Magnet is announced to leave for Melbourne direct on Wednesday nexb. The Wild Duck has arrived at Auckland from the Fijis. While at Saato a boat, containing the trading master, Morrison, and two of the crew, Irwin and Winter, went ashore. One hundred and fifty natives attacked and murdered the party, who were unarmed. The natives then tried to board the—vessel, but failed, ovying to the wind springing up.
