Wreck of the Schooner Success. —Two Lives Lost. —We have to report the wreck of the schooner Success, which took place on Wednesday, the 30th ult„ in Palliscr Bay, by which two lives were lost. Hie Success was from Lyttelton, bound to Auckland, and in ballast. She was running before a heavy S.E. gale, when the master mistaking Turakirae Head for Cape Palliscr, ran into Palliser Bay, and being unable to g»t out again, in consequence of the violence of the gale, was driven ashore at 2 a.m., about, a mile from the mouth of the Wairarapa Lake. The mate, Mr Burgess, who formerly belonged to the schooner Crest of the Wave, and a boy who was shipped at Auckland, were unfortunately drowned. Mr. Burgess has left a wile and four children to mourn his loss,— Wellington Independent. The Alexandra. —We understand that the Colonial Government have purchased the steamer Alexandra for the sum of £13,000. She arrived in'the Manukau from Auckland after a run round the North Cape of 56 hours ; but as she was lying off the land for 4 hours waiting for daylight on Thursday morning, her passage under steam may be said to have occupied only 52 hours. During that time she steamed on an average Si knots per hour, and practical men speak so highly of her capabilities that we believe vc are warranted in saying that the Government have made a very good bargain. Her carrying capacity is 273 tons register. The Kangaroo, steamer, as it will be seen, lias been chartered by the Government, also for the transport service.— Daily Southern Cross, 29th Dec.
