The schooner Muriwai was loading at Aucklam in for this port,—being advertised to sail this day. ot Her Majesty’s steam-sloop Shearwater has ai as rived at Woolwich to he paid off. On leaving tin ' Straits of XTseeKnm Cornmaudor Smit.h i,nu me jtention called to two strange looking beings oi it, jthe rocks. They were at arst thought to he Pain re gonian savages, and were regarded with som mj suspicion; but they turned out to be two English of| men, in a dreadfully emaciated stats, and almos a-1 naked. They were immediately taken on boarc ks|tbe ship’s surgeon statiug that they could no toihave survived two horn’s longer. On rocovcrin pc- it transpired that they belonged to her Majesty’ se sloop Chanticleer. On the 11th October apart ve from the Chanticleer were out on a shooting ex ce cursion, and the two meu were in a boat togethc ;e- returning to the vessel, when a heavy gale cam as on, and they were driven out to sea and cast upo: the rocks, and were reported to the Admiralty a x- lost—their arrears of pay being paid to their rt is- latires. The men. whose names are David Riddle] is- 2nd captain of tho fnrotop, and Samuel Healer sc an able-bodied seaman, gave a distressing accoun cf their suffering:'. On being east no rb« (vwist. r ge Patagonia, the gale tore their clothing to tatten es leaving them only two blankets, an oilskin, and >n, few biscuits for warmth and subsistence. The economised their natural heat by huddling tc

gether, their only food for six weeks being musIsels and other shell fish picked off the rooks. The ! ground was at the time covered with snow, and Uenley lost his toes from the severity of the frost. After being there about a month, her Majesty’s screw sloop Columbine, Commander Leigh Ward, from the Pacific, passed through the Straits, and was seen by the men, who waved their blankets, but unfortunately were not seen, and they remained there a fortnight longer. They had given up all hopes of life, and two hours before thc v wpre rescued had sworn to each other that whoever died first should not be eaten by the surviving one. They are now perfectly recovered. On the Shearwater being taken into the basin at ‘be Fisgard, it being understood that the Admiralty will allow them to receive their arrears of pay, although previously paid to their relatives.
