MAEITIME NOTES. The schooner Yisjtnla, 133 tons, Capt. Baton, cleared at Sydney, for Kaptpr, via Newcastle, on the 27th March, with 123 bags had not sailed up to the 29th. ■V, ; f The gohopnexPrincess Alexandra, 31 tons, Capt. Leonard, cleared direct,-on tbs 26th March. She had not saffed'clther tip to latest dates. The s s. Beautiful Star, Captain Morwick, left Auckland on Friday, the 13th inst., at 6 p.m., and had fine weather, with light easterly winds to East Cape; from thence to ten miles north of Table Cape had northerly winds and calms, and from thence to port, experienced strong northerly gales, with heavy sea. Brought up in the roadstead on Monday, the 16th inst., at 10 a.m. We understand that she leaves for Auckland with another full cargo of sheep this day. The schooner Tawera, Captain Baker, from Auckland via Poverty Bay, arrived hero at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, the 17th inst. She left the former port on Saturday, 7th inst., and arrived at Poverty Bay on the Tuesday following, having experienced fine weather. Laid there till Sunday, the lath, when she took her departure for Xapier. Same night experienced strong southerly gale, which compelled her to put in to Table Bay for shelter. On Monday morning left with light S.E. wind, which continued all day. During the night it veered round to X.W., which brought her up to the anchorage as above. Captain Baker reports having sighted a schooner off Table Cape on Sunday night—probably the Clyde, which left this port on Saturday last. The s.s. Thane, we observe from the Wellington papers, is laid on for this port, to sail on Thursday (this day), the 19th inst. She is advertised to discharge cargo from the whaif in the Iron Pot, and we trust sufficient encouragement will be given her agents to continue her in the trade. Tho barque Danish Beauty, Captain Pottinger, for Xapier via Xelson, arrived at the latter port on the afternoon of the Hth April, after a passage of 123 days. The ship Maori, with the first portion of the 43rd Eegt., and the remnant of the 6Sth Rcgt, numbering in all some 378 souls, sailed from Auckland on the 3rd inst.

WRECKS AND CASUALTIES, Loss of the Snip Rotal Albert.—The following has been communicated to the Sydney Morning Herald-—ln September last a fine new iron ship was dischargin'*’ h°r ’ English cargo on the western side of the Circular Ouay She was named the Royal Albert, being one of a '■-cries of new iron ships named after the Royal family, belongin'’ to the Messrs Ecrney, Brothers, of Liverpool. Captain T Davies commanded the Royal Albert, and a more gentlemanly man never came into Port Jackson. The ship left Sydney on September 20th, with 1400 tons of southern coal for Calcutta, just escaped the fearful hurricane there’ loaded a valuable cargo for England, sailed, and was lost on the Cornish coast of England, with all hands, in the same galo that foundered the London in tho Bay of Biscay. _Wreck of the Schooxes Pioxeeb.—Wo have been kindly furnished by the Harbor-master, Captain Rundle wis h tho following particulars of t he wreck of th e schooner Pioneer. r lhe Pioneer, schooner, 87 tons. Thomas Ritchie master, bound from Maryborough to Rockhampton ; left the Fairway Buoy, Kerrey's Bay, at 10 a.m. on Saturday last, the loth instant; she passed the Sloping Hummock at 3 pan., bearing south-west and distant eight miles; the vessel steered north-west until opposite Bustard Head ■ she, then altered her course half a point westward the wind, at the time, blowing hard from S.S.E., and a heavv sea running. About 4 a.m. on Sunday, “ breakers ahead’” were repoitcd, and tec vessel was immediately hauled to the westward. Before she could bo brought to fororeach she struck upon a reef running out from Mast Head Island, bearing east twenty-four miles from Cape Capricorn. The sea washed clean over her, and as she showed signs of breaking up, the long-boat was launched The master aud crew laid-to off the wreck until daylight They managed to get on board again at 1 p.m , and found the vessel full of water, with her decks and most of her broadside started. After several attempts they found that they could do nothing towards saving the vessel, and all hands sailed for Keppel Bav, where they arrived on Thursday morning.—Rockhampton Bulletin, March 17. The Perils of the Deep.—Mitchell’s Maritime Register, of the 20th January, thus remarks npon the late heavy gales on the coast of England:—Many years have elapsed since it has been our lot to record such wholesale destruction of shipping property as has been occasioned by the late gales, accompanied, we regret to add, by most lamentable loss of life. To give an exact, record of these casualties wmuld be to reprint our “Maritime Intelligence” of the last three or four numbers. We cun only select a few of the mere striking of these losses, chiefly among steamships. On the 12th instant tho screw steamer Amalia, from Liverpool for Alexandria, was abandoned in the Bay of Biscay, and shortly afterwards foundered, the Laconia happily rescuing the passengers and crow. On the 13th the Leith steamer Arno, on her passage to London, came into collision at the mouth of the Tees with the of North Shields, and was so much damaged that it was found necessary to abandon her. On Monday last the Earl of Auckland (s.), from London for Rotterdam, was totally lost off Kelvoet, the crew landing safely in the boats. The sad list closes for the present with two more casualties of appalling magnitude. On the 11th instant, the Australian passenger ship London foundered in the Bay of Biscay, with 220 souls, all of whom have perished; and a similar fate has overtaken the Royal Albeit, off the Cornish coast. The Royal Albert was on her passage home from Calcutta, and, like tho London, carried a very valuable cargo. She has been lost, with all hands. These, as we have said, are but a few of the many hundreds of casualties produced by the late gales, and recorded in our columns.
