. During yesterday afternoon three signals were observed on the flagstaff on Barrack Iliil, This, naturally, enough, was supposed by many to moan that some vessels were coming in, or at any tire in the Bay. Not so, however, the only vessels in eight in the Bay throughout the day were the schooners Bose Ann and Banshee, both outward bound. The signals were hoisted because there was a sale of military st ores at the Barracks. Arrival of the Spray at Auckland-. Narrow Escape from Foundering in a Cyclone. —The brig Spjay, 143 tons, Captain A. E.| Sykes, arrived in harbor yesterday morn ng, a fieri a very tedious passage of 35 days from Lr.sijane,] bringing a cargo of 95 tons bones for Messrs ILa-j dersou and Macfarlane; also, 12 passengers.

After that had strong N. and N.E. winds on the coast, Tuesday hehm the first day the reef was shaken out of the topsails. Sighted a barque off Cape.

Wreck of the Schooner Margaret Uhes-ST-I.E.- Lv the schooner Dove, which lias arrived in port from Wynyard, "Van Diemen’s Laud, we have intelligence of the loss of the schooner Margaret Chessell, trader to aud from this port. The disaster occurred in the river Cam, on the north-west coast of Tasmania, where the schooner \i as losdiug hiackwood for Melbourne ami was owing entirely to the strong easterly winds and bad tides which drove her on to a gravel bank, and while aground the tide carried away the sand at both ends of the bank, so that her back was completely broken. She is likely to remain a wreck, as from a rough estimate formed it would take more money than she is alleged to be insured for to put her to rights again. The schooner was owned partly by’ her captain (W. .Tones! and nartlv by his brother (Mr T. Jones}, and is stated to be insured tor £soo.—Melbourne Argus, Isth April.
