The s.s. Ahuriri, duo hove on Sunday next, will doubtless place us in pos--1 session of full particulars. IVo have reason to dvdievo that the Cleopatra was insured, but for j what amount wo have not heard.

Antipodes, and bounty Islands, On tird February went to tho scene of the wreck. Rounding X.W. Cape and finding nigh wind and sea, pulled tho bout along the cliff-, about three hundred yards off, and scanned every gully and cave, but saw nothing approaching the description given by the General Grant’s people of the cave where tho ship wa-s lost. At Point Coast saw sonic spars and port ion of wreck, near which is a gulf formed of two masses of rock, between which it is believed tho ship was jammed. No other wreck seen. There arc several places where boats can hind in tine weather. A depot has been established at Enderby's. Hut creeled, iu good repair. Goats on tho island thriving and increasing. Bounty—a naked group of detached rocks impossible to inhabit, and no attempt could bo made to land. There were no traces of castaways discovered on any of the islands.
