Tho Wellington Independent of the 30th ultimo says : — Captain Bowden, of the. W. 8. Fox, arrived at New Caledonia, en route to Sydney, and states that Captain Recce arrived at Havannah harbor, on the 15th November, iv his whalebout, and reports that he left his vessel at noon on the 10th instant, about half, a mile off the north -west point of A pee, to go ashore to bring off four natives engaged as laborers from that island, ha /ing with him his native .boat's crew. He had got the natives in the boat, when it came on to rain heavily. He pulled up his boat, and went under a, tree. for shelter. He had not been there many minutes before a violent squa'l of wind from the eastward passed over the island, blowing the trees in all directions. The wind and rain lasted about half-an-hour. When it cleared, his vessel could not be seen. He went with the boat to the place where he left the vessel, but conld see nothing of her. Be then retnrned to tho island, aud-wenc up a high hill, but still no sign of the ship. The natives seeing him in trouble bunted him off the island, firing showers of poisonous arrows at him, and doing their utmost to net possession of his boat. He then pulled round the island, and searched Cook's net, without success, and arrived at Havannah harbor, greatly exhausted, on the loth instant, having been in his boat five days without provisions. It is his intention to get a vessefin Havannah harbor to go and sfearch the island, and the reef at the east side of Malicolo, where it is possible the vessel, if not foundered, has been blown to. When he left his vessel it was calm, and nil the canvas was set. There were on board bis wife, .the Government agent, first and second mate, a native crew, and &bout forty natives, engaged as laborers for Queensland.
