The schooner Lark, Toke, master, sailed from Auckland for this port, via Wangapoa, on the 11th inst. The brigantine Zillah, Captain Sullivan, which was to have sailed for this port the same day as the Lark, was detained to convey 17 tombstones to Napier, consigned to Mr Boylan. The Zillah was to call in to Wangapoa saw mills, and will bring a cargo of sawn timber and shingles. The schooner Rose Ann. hence the Ist inst., arrived at Auckland on the 12th inst.

Loss or the Ship Cl.vramost— There can now be little doubt respecting the fate of the London ship Clararaont, Captain Macintosh, which we some months ago reported as missing. The Qlaramont, it will ho remembered, visited this port with immigrants, and a general cargo of merchandise. early in the month of April, 1833, and after making a voyage to China and Sydney, left here on the 2nd of May for Hongkong, in ballast. After leaving Hongkong she visited Sydney, with a cargo of teas, and returned to Shanghai, to load for London. She left Shanghai homeward bound on the 18th of September, 1831. and with the exception of a knowledge of her calling at t he island of Ascension for stores, she has not since been heard of. Twelve months have now elapsed since she left that island to continue her homeward trip.audno information of her has been ascertained. although sought after with much diligence by her owners in London, She has now, therefore, been given up for lost. The following is a list of the officers and crew of the vessel from the Auckland Customs clearance, hearing date Sfith April, lsfi'l. it is probable that some out of the number may have deserted her when in port at China and Sydney; otherwise, the list contains the names of those who have doubtless met an untimely end through the loss of this ves/el: —"Claramont, London-built ship, of Sfia tons.

The p.s. Huntress.—The Government p.s. Huntress, Capt. Stalker,after'receiving a thorough overhaul toiler machinery at the hands of Messrs Vickery & Masefield, getting cop pered &0., got up steam yesterday morning, and made a short experimental trip up and down the harbor, -when, -we are glad to say, everything -was found to work smoothly and satisfactorily.. Upon the completion of the trial the Huntress took her departure for Tauranga on Government service, and will return again in a day or two.—New Zealand Herald, December 13.
