Arrival of the Nelson from London' at Auckland.— The ship Nelson, 1258 tons, Captain Cobb, left London on the Ist October, and the Cove of Cork on the 7th; passed outside the Capo de Verde's; had poor X.E. trades, with light airs aud calms; and crossed the Line on the thirtyeighth day out from Cork, in longitude 39 ° West; had light S.E. trades, aud on the Uth Dec. passed the meridian of the Cape inlatitudo 45° S.; ran down the easting in about 4s°>Komin.; passed to the southward of Tasmania; made the Kings on tire I7th Jan., and came to an anchor at 3 p.m. yesterday.

Tim May Qi’ngN— In consequence of the strong southerly gales thAt prevailed on Tuesday aud Wednesday last, a very heavy sea set in, and at about one o’clock on Wednesday last, tho bridle of tho moorings lately laid down gave way aud tho Hay Queen drifted about half a mile towards Caroline Bay before she was brought up by her own anchor. As the sea continued to increase the signal was made from the shore for her to go to sea; and notwithstanding the wind which was then blowing from S.S.E., she soon made a good offing, not returning until the evening of the following day. We have heard it stated'that the vessel would Lava ridden the gale out with perfeet safety, if it had not been that the cable which formed tho bridle Is a very bad one ; numbers of the studs being out of tho links, and it being altogether unfit to trust the safety of a vessel to. It is really too bad, after all the bother there has been to get these moorings laid, that the material used is of such a quality as to endanger the very first vessel that has hud to them.— Timaru Herald, Jan. 7. SmpßuiiM.u at Sea.— Captain Duncan, of the ship Coleroon, from London, reports the following occurrence ■— Decemcer 1. when in lat. 20 deg. S.. 10ng.;28 deg. W„ at four p.m., saw a ship becalmed, with all her sails dewed up, with the exception of the foretopsail. She w;is distant about It) miles, had three royal yards aloft, and appeared to be of about 1,200 tons register. At about 10 o’clock same night, when about fifteen miles to leeward of her, saw her burst out in flames, which Illuminated the ocean for miles round. Was too far to leeward of her, to render assistance. When the ship was sighted in the afternoon she did not display any signals, aud from tho distance, those on board tho Coleroon could not describe the hull.— Ansfralasin, Jan. 13,

The P.N.Z. and A.E.M. Co.’s steamship Egmont, Captain Tredwcn, with her Majesty’s mails, arrived in the harbor yesterday morning, at 6 o’clock, from Auckland via Russell. She did not leave Auckland till 1 p.m. on the 3rd instant, having been detained two days by the Government; she arrived at Kororarika Bay, Pay of Islands, at 7 next morning, landed mails and passengers, and proceeded at lo.so; passed the North Cape at 9 p.m., between which and the Throe Kings she experienced cloudy weather, with light unsteady winds and heavy swell from S.’,V.; passed the Three Kings at 4 next morning, and at 430 sighted a steamer under steam and sail, supposed to be a man-of-war, steering to the eastward; afterwards variable winds and calms from N.W. to N. to the Sth; then a brisk breeze and fine weather with a very heavy south-westerly swell; on the 9th, a strong breeze with rain, squalls, and heavy swell continued, with a strong southerly current; the wind then shifted round to the with cloudy and unsettled weather. The remainder of the voyage was marked by unsteady and light winds, varying from S.S.W. to S. During the voyage a very melancholy case of sudden death occurred on board, the unfortunate person being Mr. Robert Burgoyne, of Auckland. Mr. Burgoyne seemed to be in perfect health when he embarked, and partook of his meals regularly. On the evening of the sth he complained of a slight pain in his leg; hut there were no symptoms to create the least alarm. He did not sleep much in the night, and in the morning about 8 o’clock, be was asked by Mr. S. Woolley, a eentleman occupying the same cabin, Low ho was, to n inch he replied, I am not very well, as I s;i!lhuvi the rheumatism in my leg.” However, he got up, ami when in ‘ ho act of dressing himself, fainted away. ! > i ' 'i i ai i i restoring consciousness were at once ’ '' 1 u t snort time had the desired effect. Dr. M „ o i p issenger, administered a table-spoon-ful o; i met uro of reubarb, which Mr. Burgoyne drank off expressing Imnseu much better; at 9 a.m. Mr. Burgoyne seemed very ill, ana the last words ho was beard to say were, •• lay me down on the deck,” when all traces of consciousness entirely disappeared. Dr. Wolfskehl was most ene; get c in his efforts, and applied large mustard poultices to his chi st and neck, and sal-volatile to his nostrils, freely rubbing his temples with spirits of wine, and hot bricks kept to bis feet, but all to no avail, though he continued his exertions till 5 p.m., when he pronounced him to be quite dead. The unfortunate gentleman was about 56 years of age, and has left a widow and young family, at Auckland to lament their loss. At S a.m. next morning the last solemn rites were performed, by committing his body to the deep—the burial service being very impressively read by the Rev. T. Buddie, of Auckland. Dr Wolfskehl attributed the cause of death to the sudden cessation of the functions of the heart, brought on by a severe at of indigestion. —Sydney Empire, —Jan. 12.
