Beautiful Si tar off the East Capo on Thursday morning, endeavouring to beat to windward with steam and sail. We understand the Saucy Lass will leave for Auckland on Wednesday morning. The cutler Dolphin, bclion, master, arrived in port on Thursday last, after a very good run of slightly under four hours. As will bo seen by advertisement elsewhere this favorite vessel leaves again for Wairoa to morrow night. The schooner Donald M'Lean, Contain Baker, left Napier for Poverty Bay on the 3rd inst., with 30 Lead cattle; had head wind all the way, and arrived there on the sth inst.; landed the cattle in good order, and left for this port on the 6th; experienced light fair wind down, and arrived in the roadstead on Friday morning last—'entering the Iron Pot at 2 p.m. She will leave again for Poverty Bay tomorrow night with 32 head cattle.

Fairchild. Steamed for Auckland via Wairon, Poverty Bay, and other places on the East Coast, on Thur day morning last. She had on board a detachment of Military Settlers lor Wairoa, under Major Fraser. The p.s. Huntress, under command of her owner, Capt. G. E. Head, steamed for Tauranga ou Friday night last, trith 300 sheep. A large number of persons lined the beach to witness the departure of this notorious steam-boat. Wo believe that it is tho intention of Captain Read, after landing the sheep at Tauranga, to take the Huntress on to Auckland, at which port he will, doubtless, dispose of her to advantage.

The ketch. llgio, Campbell, master, sailed for TTairoa on Friday night last, —being tjwed out of tho Iron Pot by the jiuntress.

One hundred and lorry-three Chinese passengers ftud one European were drowned. The ship broke up six hours afr.r striking, and nothing was saved. The Government had chartered a steamer to send *4«r the vrMkttf Weekly Ivtb

Kovel Race.—A rather exciting and novel kind of rase Is reported from the Bristol district. Frequent discussions had been as held to which was the quickest route from Clevedon to Portishead, by land in a carriage, or by water -M a rowing boat, and a few days’ ago wagers were laid which led to a test. The bet was between Mr Hansford of Champion-house, and Mr Lilly, of the Ida, and tho raoowas to be between Mr id" his pony carriage, and carrying two gentleman brides himself, and Mr Lilly’s boat, maimed by fouroarsmea and a coxswain. The start was made about 6 o'clock on the evening of August 27, from the plateau Lee-grove, opposite the Channel. Before the boat showed the bets were 2 to 1 on the uony ; hut when the light handsonme craft and Its crow came in sight, tho probabilities seemed changed. A capital start was made, the little pony-trap getting awav at a great speed. The boat also wont Well.' Hundred of people had gone off to Portishead to see the finish, and the passenger steamer delayed its departure from the pier* that all on board might witness the end of the race, The boat was first iu sight, but j List a minute before it touched the pier the pony’s feet clattered on the pavement of the hotelyard. It is supposed that, if the boats crew had had a preliminary pull over the course, they would have won. The distance by land is about seven wiles, and the time in which the race was run was 4t| minutes. The boat had six miles to go over. It is probable that another trial of the same character will be made. Loss op’ms Steamed Bhiha and'Sevektt-nine Liv's —Tho Nubia has-brought the deplorable intelligence of the foundering ia the Red Sea of the B. & P,. Co.'s steamer the Bhima. involving a loss of seventy-nine lives. It seems that another vessel belonging to tho company wished to speak her. The vessels neared each other, and is said that at a critical, moment the helm was-by mistake put hard-a-port in oab of tho vessels; A collision took place with the dreadful results noticed above, tho other vessel escaping with comparatively little injury. About twentyone of the persons on hoard the ill-fated Bhima were saved.—Colombo Observer, 4th October. The Missing Baequo Teieste.—The New Zealand Herald, Ist Decenber, says:—The Princess Alice, wbibh arrived last Sunday from, San Francisco, came as near as possible along the same track supposed to have been taken by tho ill-fated barque Trieste, but we regret to say no tidings were heard of her. Palmerston Island, which was sighted on the 4th November, and before supposed to bo uninhabited, was discovered by Captain Kid-ley to be inhabited by Europeans. Ho stood off and cn for several hours. The people had a yatch and two boats, but as they seemed not desirous to make the ship, he concluded they could not have belonged to the Trieste, and he stood on his course. There would, therefore, seem to be no doubt as to the loss of this fl ie vessel.
