The celebrated clipper ship Echunga (as noticed in a telegram published by us last' week) arrived at Port Chalmers on the 12lh hist., where she is now rapidly proceeding with the discharge of her Otago cargo. She may shortly be expected to arrive here, to discharge her Napier cargo and load wool tor the English market. Her Napier agents, Messrs. Kinross and Co., announce that “ her home freight being engaged, she will have quick despatch.” The favorite Aberdeen clipper barque John BunVan had not left Wellington np to the 17th in-t., but she may now be daily expected to make her number. This vessel will load wool at current rales,—the rate of freight on wool in grease being three farthings per pound. She is guaranteed to leave in time for the May sales. As the .b.Uo Bunyan is so a oil known as a favorite wool trader, we expect to see her leave Napier a full ship. MISCELLANEOUS. The schooner Muriwai. Harris, master, will sail for Poverty Bay to-day, with full general cargo and several passengers. We learn that the favorite cutter Mahia, Baxter, master, is on the berth for Wairoa, and will leave In a day or two should suJiieicnt inducement oiler.

along the beach. every elfert being made to save her by throwing overboard ten tons or so of her cargo, but without success—in halt’-au-hour she was fast stranded on the hard sand. The night was calm, and r.ho next tide only drove her higher up. On Thursday night tho wind got up from t lie west, arid yosteriay it was Vowing ■■ gre.il gnus." The hull, it is satisfactory to know, is quite sound, and Ins sustained no injury, but the cargo liar been more or leas damaged; such of it as strews the beach for a mile, c msisung f>r the most part of oatmeal and barley, is of course ut teriy spoiled. The bulk of the cargo was insured The vessel, which is owned I>y I’aptiiin U;iin. is not insure ], ami will now. iu all livelihood, need to be taken over tho spit into tho river. The case is a very unfortunate one, and ehieily so fjr Captain Uam, who is a most deserving and very obliging man. Messrs. Allan and Low will sell the cargo where the vessel is stranded.
