The fine schooner Saucy Lass, Capt. M’Eenzie, left Auckland on Tuesday, the 24th April, and arrived the following day at Mercury Bay, where she took in a eargo of sawn and dressed timber, shingles, and palings. She left Mercury Bay on Sunday the 29th, and had strong westerly winds to the East Cape, where, on Tuesday, the Ist May, caught a strong southerly squall; put back, and came to anchor in Open Bay ; left the following day, aud arrived off Portland Island at 4 a.m. on Thursday morning, blowing hard from the S.S.IV., with heavy sea.

From thence, light and variable winds to anchorage, which she reached at 3 p.m. on Sunday, the 6th.

AEEIVAIi OF THE STAE OF THE SOUTH. The s.s. Star of the South, Captain Bendall, left Auckland at 11 p.m. on Saturday, the sth, having landed all her sheep iu good condition at the Tamaki in the morning. She experienced light ■winds and fine weather to the East Cape, which she rounded at 3 a.m. on Monday, the 7th. She hen met a strong head wind from the S. and S.W. She saw the Thane leaving Poverty Bay at 5 p.m. on Monday, it blowing strong from the S.W. at the time. She arrived in Napier harbor at 11 a.m. on Tuesday. Through the courtesy of Captain Bendall, we have received a copy of the * Southern Cross’ of the sth inst., from which extracts appear iu another column. AEEIVAL OF THE S.S. THANE. The s.b. Thane, Captain Zealand, arrived at Poverty Bay at 4 a.m. on Monday. She left on Monday night, after landing her sheep in safety, and experienced fine weather to port, which she reached on Tuesday afternoon. She left again for Poverty Bay yesterday, at 3.30 p.m. MISCELLANEOUS. The Colonial Government p.s. Sturt is still detained by order of the Government, in consequnce of the absence of Captain Eairchild, who is daily expected from Raglan to take charge of the vessel. She will then leave for Tauranga, Opotiki, and Napier.—Daily Southern Cross, sth May. The schooner Donald M'Lean will leave for Poverty Bay this evening.—Ibid. Loss of the Quickstep, with Poue Lives.— Yesterday wo called attention to the probable loss of the cutter Quickstep, of this port, on the passage from the Manukau for the Grey River, and to-day we are in possession of facta which place the loss of the vessel beyond all question. Seeing in our paper of yesterday that a bag containing female clothing, and a towel, marked “E. M. Cuthhert,” were contained in the wreck washed ashore at the Pollock Settlement, West Coast, Mr William Airey called upon us in the hope of throwing some light upon the unfortunate occurrence, which, we regret to find from his statement, involves the loss of four lives. It appears that Mr E. M. Cuthhert, who was a passenger in the ship Louisa, arriving here in March, 1865, had made several trips to Mangawai in the Quickstep, when the vessel was trading between Auckland and that place, and that he was residing with a fellow-passenger named Mrs Newton, in Wellington-streefc, whose husband left Auckland for the Grey River some time ago. On the last trip of the vessel from the Grey River, Mr Newton sent his wife money to pay her passage on the return of the Quickstep, which had been chartered at the Grey to take down a cargo of potatoes. Mrs Newton accordingly gave up her residence, and left on the 26th of March last, with the intention of joining her husband at the Grey River. My E. M. Cuthhert did not leave in the vessel, being at present in Auckland. Every mail from the Grey during the past month has brought its letter from the disconsolate husband, inquiring into the cause of his wife’s delay in leaving Auckland, and neglect to,write him upon the subject. When Mrs Newton left Auckland she had with her a bag of clothing, in addition to two boxes, and the former has been found in the wreck in question. Our informant, who was a passenger in the Quickstep on her last trip from the Grey, also assures us that the number published by us yesterday as her registered tonnage at the Auckland Customs—namely, 18 48-100—corresponds exactly with the number visible upon her combings, Mr Airey likewise informs us that Captain Fisher kept a small box of carpenters’ tools, corresponding with that found in the wreck. On her former trip the the Quickstep’s stern cam#

into coUision with a schooner, and was partially carried away, together with her name. When the Teasel’s stern was repaired and painted before leaving on her last trip, the name was not replaced, which accounts for its absence on the wreck cast ashore. Previously the name was never omitted from the time the vessel was launched. There is no doubt, from the description, that the vessel passed by the p.s. Prince Alfred, on her trip from Raglan and Wanganui on Saturday last, was the Quickstep. She was then 14 miles off land, between Waikato aud Raglan ; although the steamer passed within 200 yards of her, she reports being unable to render any assistance, because it was blowing hard at the time. Captain Fisher was the sole owner, Mr Stone, the builder, having no interest in her. He arrived here, it is believed, in the ship Pegasus about twelve months ago, and was very respectably connected. One of the seamen was named John MiUer, who arrived at the West Coast from Sydney a few months ago, and bad been with Captain Fisher several trips. The other seamen is unknown, having joined her at Onehunga just before she sailed.—Daily Southern Cross.

Inspection op the Maet Shepheed. —The final inspection of the chartered troop transport ship Mary Shephered, Captain Croot, was held on Wednesday. The following gentlemen were the inspecting officers ; —Colonel Gamble; Captain Spain, B.N. 5 Dr Gibb; and Dr Stiles (40th). This vessel, which has been fitted for the reception of troops by Mr Duthie, shipwright, was found in perfect readiness for sea, and gave every satisfaction to the inspectors. She has been fitted for the conveyance of the following 336 rank and file, 18 invalids, 4 staff sergeants, 20 woman, and 40 children. The troops occupy hammocks, and the remainder cabins, fitted up by Mr Duthie in a manner far superior to any vessel which has yet left this port on troop transport service. The ventilation of the ’tween-decks, which is in size 170 feet by 34 feet, was much admired. The condenser, manufactured expressly for the vessel by Messrs Yiekery and Masefield, of this city, was acknowledged to be a creditable piece of machinery, and calculated to increase the reputation of the foundry. A cooking-range was supplied by the same firm, capable of providing for the wantsof SOOpersons. Hersalooncontainsl2cabins, and is appointed to accomodate 18 officers. The stern cabins are 15 feet x 11, and handsomely appointed. The Rev. J. Bayley, Army Chaplain, will occupy one, and Lieutenant Colonel D. S. Blyth and family the other. Ten other cabins are 8 feet x 8 feet, a size much larger than usually found in passenger ships.
