The Storm Bird arrived early yesterday morning, having left Wellington on Monday evening last at G o’clock. She passed the White, Sinai between Blackhead and Bare Island at about halfpast 7 p.m. A light was seen about, two miles south of the Kidnappers at 1 a.m. yesterday, probably shown by a vessel several timesnoticcd from town within the last two or t hree days. The Storm Bird has had head winds for the most of the passage, and from Cape Turnagain to Napier a heavy sea was running. The vessel several times seen in the neighborhoodof the Kidnappers, supposed to have been in distress, and hoped to be the missing Bole Sta , made to the Southward on Tuesday afternoon last. We bclicvcatthe request of some of the inhabitants of the town who felt deeply interested to learn the particulars and have a painful anxiolyremoved, the Superintendent despatched Mr. Hamlin yesterday morning to the Kidnappers to learn what information he could. We have not seen Mr. Hamlin since, but were informed last evening by a gentleman who had just arrived from the Kidnappers that the vessel sailed as above stated. We are informed that the mail steamer lately running between Wellington and Sydney has been withdrawn. The Storm Bird, which loaves tomorrow, will, it is expected, be in time to catch the English mail in Otago, and a supplementary mail will therefore be despatched from Napier, thus affording correspondents another opportunity of writing until to-morrow at noon. The John Banyan cleared at the customs yesterday, and the declared value of her cargo is stated at £'22,000. This wool ship is the third and last of the season from this port. Several passengers arc going homo in her. The John Banyan sailed on the 2.lst April last year, or very little more than twelve months ago. The value of her cargo was then upwards of £25,000. — Advertiser, May 14. The Irish Times states that a despatch from Pernambuco announces that the Glenlanner struck on a rock in December last, and became a wreck. The master and part of the crew arc missing. The mate and eight men arrived at Pernambuco. The Glenlanner left Lyttelton in August last, bound for Callao, to lake in guano. The disaster must have occurred on the homeward voyage. The Intercolonial Royal Mail steamer, lord Ashley, Capt. Wheeler, arrived at her anchorage, olf the Queen-street wharf, yesterday evening about 7 o’clock. She left Sydney on the loth, at noon, and experienced strong westerly breezes at starting. She was two days under canvass. Sighted the North Capo at 4 p.m. on the 20th, and made the coasting against a strong head wind. The passage was remarkably quick, being done in six days six hours, 48 hours of which she was without steam. The English Mail arrived in Sydney on the 14th. Capt. ’Wheeler reports that the Kate sailed tor Auckland on the 14th. There was no news of any consequence in Sydney. The Lord Ashley brings the English Mail for Auckland, Napier, and, we believe, Wellington. The boxes for the two latter will be transferred to the While Swan, which sails on Saturday. The greater part of the English mail was at once landed by the Customs’ boat. The mail consists of eighteen boxes and two bags. We were very much pleased with the saloon ot the Lord Ashley. There is accommodation for 32 passengers, in addition to the separate rooms-for (he steward and stewardess, which latter is a decided improvement upon the old-fash-ioned arrangements of steamers. The attendants arc now within call at all hours. The cabin is chastely decorated with white and gold.— Daily Southern Cross , May 22. ll.M.fs. Bawn is still in harbor, and we have (he unusual sight beside of (wo mail steamers. — Ibid.

The I.C.R.M. Co’s steamer Prince Alfred having been set aside from the New Zealand mail service by the agent at New Zealand, will lay up until her boilers arrive from England. On Monday evening she started on a trip to Newcastle for a cargo of coal, and when off Pinchgut her boilers were found so defective that she was at once brought back to the wharf.— Si/dneg Morning Herald, May 2.
