ARRIVAL OF THE EAGLE.

The cutter Eagle, Garland, master, left Auckland on the 2nd July and arrived at Waiheki the same day. Took in 500 posts. Left again on the 4th. Experienced tremendous weather, and bore up for Tryphena an the sth, blowing a complete gale from S-B. Remained seven days at Tryfhena, blowing fresh every day. Left on the 2th. On the 13th, wind freshening into a gale, run for shelter into Mercury Harbor, and remained there four days, wind veering from S.E. to N.B. Left on the 17th, blowing strong from K.W., weather most unsettled. On the 19th, took shelter in Hick’s Bay. On the 20th, weighed anchor, and proceeded as far as the East (Jape, where she encountered another gale from the S.E. Bore away for Kawa Kawa. On the 21st, the weather having moderated, weighed anchor; rounded the Cape. On tho 22nd, the wind veering to the S.E., the vessel was hove-to under the balanced-reefod mainsail; weather thick and dismal; not able to see tho land. Rounded Portland Island, and got a glimpse of the land, and ran for shelter under Long Point. Pound the Greenwich, cutter, Warnes, master, riding there. Came to an anchor, and remained there until tho 25th. Weather moderating, proceeded for Napier, and arrived on the 26th, after a most trying passage of twenty-two days. The Eagle brings the crew of the Vivid, schooner, the account of tho wreck of which vessel will he found below. On tho 21st a boom with two pieces of copper attached to it, a gaff, and a wooden pump, were picked up by the crew of the Eagle ; and on the 24th several cattle and portions of another wreck were found by some natives in tuo passage between Portland Island and tho Peninsula. Captain Schon and his man desire to thank Captain Garland for his kindness to them in bringing them from Long Point, and wish publicly to express their thanks for his kind attention during their stay on board his vessel.

ARRIVAL OF THE GREENWICH AT LONG POINT.

THE FOUNDERING OF THE RAMBLER, AND LOSS OF THREE LIVES. By the arrival of the Eagle, from Auckland, ■via Long Point, we have the following particulars of the loss of the ketch Rambler : The Greenwich, cutter, Warnes, master, left Napier on the 12th July with a general cargo for the Wairca. Espern need variable weather until b p.m. the same day, when the wind freshened from,S.E., and blew with great fury. On the ] 2-th galo increasing, and sea running mountains high, mu foi‘ shelter under Long Point, vessel shipping large quantities of water, and filling the alter part of the vessel at times. Came to an anchor under tlie Point at 1 p.m. On the 17th, weighed anchor, and stood for the Wairoa; w eather variable j noon, thick end rainy weather set in, impossible to sea any land. Stood away to the southward until 6 p.m., when it fell calm. Close-reeled the inainsrjl: very threatening weather. On Use ISlb, dirty weather and strong breezes from 8.8. Boro away second time lorLong Point, and with difficulty reached the anchorage.

The 111-fated Rambler* Bennett, was last seen from the Greenwich, cutter, on the 12th instant, at a distance of about six miles astern of her. The vessel, in all probability, foundered during the night, as the gale was very severe, and a tremendous sea running at the time. The boom and gaff picked up is without doubt the boom and gaff of the Rambler; the pump and deck plank is hers also, and the whole, from the description, has been identified by Symes, Bennett's late partner. The crew of the Rambler consisted of Bennet, a young man named Trask, and a boy named Butler, all of whom it is feared have met with a watery grave. The other wreck found in the passage between Portland Island and the main laud has not yet been identified. The cattle found on the beach may be cattle thrown overboard from some cattle vessel passing the island. We are happy to say that the cattle vessels that left Napier have all reached their destination safely, although doubts were entertained concerning the safety of some of them, particularly as the gale was severe at the time of their departure.

TOTAL WRECK OF THE VIVID,

The Vivid, schooner, A. S chon, master, after being bar-bound in the Wairoa nearly 4 months, left on the 11th July for Napier, with a cargo of maize, tallow, and house blocks. Encountered the S.E. gale on the 12th; ran for Wangawehi for shelter, vessel making a deal of water during the gale. Arrived safely at Wangawehi on the 13th. On th» 15th received on board Mr Walker and two natives as passengers for Napier. The wind blowing strong from the E.N.B. at the time, weighed anchor, and carried a press of canvas to beat out of the bay. When off Table Cape, Mr Walker observing the water washing over the cabin deck, informed Captain Schon the vessel was sinking. The captain seeing the quantity of water in the vessel, put her before the wind, and run her as long as it was prudent for him to remain on board, the vessel filling fast, and from the quantity of water in her found her quite unmanageable. Took to the boat, leaving the canvas set on the vessel to assist in driving her on shore. Landed with difficulty at Wangawebi in the boat, and on the 17th found the vessel on the beach, all in pieces, and her sails in tatters. The natives claimed the wreck, in consequence of the vessel having been abandoned at sea. Captain Schon was obliged to purchase his own clothes from them. The Vivid was the property of Messrs Watt, Brothers, and insured in the Pacific Marine Insurance Company for £250. Her cargo, shipped upon native account, was uninsured. LOSS OF THE KETCH SAILORS’ BRIDE. TWO HANDS LOST. Otjb Wairoa correspondent supplies us the following information respecting the loss of the above little vessel At an early hour on Wednesday morning (Ist August) a large black object was observed about four miles to sea, and conjecture was rife as to* what it could be. In the early part of the afternoon it came ashore, and proved to be the Sailors’ Bride, of Mobaka. This vessel left Waikari on Tuesday, SlsfT.luly, with a cargo of potatoes for Wairoa ; and it is supposed that a sudden squall must have struck the vessel and sent her bottom up, she being very narrow in midships. There were but two persons on board at the time of the unfortunate occurrence two Maoris, —both of whom, there is every reason to believe, have perished. The Sailors’ Bride was the property of some Mobaka natives. (The bodies of the crew have since been found on the beach.)
