The Colonial Government gun-boat St. Kilda, Captain G.Eox, steamed for Auckland via Matata and Tauranga on Monday night. Colonel Harrington was a passenger by her. We observe in the Home News, 21st May, that the Turnbull, Capt. Cumming, was loading at London for Napier direct. 1 lie s.s. Star of the South, from Auckland, may be hourly expected to put in an appearance. The ship Veritas, from London, arrived at Wellington at 2 p.m. on Tuesday last. The ship Challenger, from London, arrived at Port Chalmers at 1.40 p.m. on Tuesday last. The barque Duke of Edinburgh arrived at Port Chalmers from Newcastle on Tuesday last. We (Nelson Examiner) are sorry to learn that the very serviceable little steam-boat Bruce has been wrecked at Greymouth, and that the heavy sea on the 3th instant broke her up by separating her in the centre. No steamer trading with Hokitika has done the same amount of service for the port, having, from her light draft of water, often been used as a tender to vessels in the offing, when no other vessel could cross the bar. The turret ship built by Messrs. Palmer & Co. (Limited) for the Admiralty, and intended for the defence of Melbourne harbor, is being got ready for sea with great rapidity, and she will soon be in a condition to leave the Tyne dock for the Colonies. At the meeting of the'Royal Humane Society, on the 18th May, the bronze medallion of the society was given to Ernest O. B. Eurloug, for saving Thomas Dodd, who fell into the water while in a state of somnambulism, at Auckland, N.Z.

Destruction by Fire of the ship Omar Pasha. The following is the account of the loss of the above vessel, furnished by her commander, Lieut. Charles Grey, R.N.R. : The ship sailed from Moreton Bay ou Feb. 13, and on April 21 was in lat. 27 N., long. 42 W., 79 days out, and there was every prospect of accomplishing the remainder of the voyage in about ten days. A terrible fate, however, awaited the noble ship. April 22 at 4.30 a.m., the ship was under all sail, excepting royals, a fresh north-east breeze blowing at the time —lat. 28 N., long. 43 W. The alarm was given by the first officer that the ship was on fire about the main hatch and chain locker. All hands and passengers were called immediately ; sails were reduced to closereefed topsails, all pumps set to work, and immense quantities of water poured down the lower hold and the drain locker, through which the flames, s=moke, and steam were coming in large volumes already. Officers, men, and passengers, divided in proper gangs, worked bravely, and for some time hopes were entertained to get the flames extinguished. At 6 a.m. a vessel was seen to the westward, and the ship was steered at once for Iter, firing minute guns of distress and making signals for assistance. In about an hour she was alongside the Italian barque Anita Tagliavia, whose, commander promised assistance and sent his own boats. Another vessel, which subsequently proved to be the Spanish brig Maria Rosa, was also bearing down under all canvas, and sent a boat to help as much as possible. In the meantime the crew and passengers exerted themselves to do their utmost at pumps and fire-buckets, or to carry out promptly whatever orders were given. The greatest discipline was maintained on board throughout. Large wet sails and tarpaulins were spread over the hatches and decks ; but, however, all labor proved in vain. From 8 till about 9 the flames spread more in the lower hold, and the great heat set the wool in the between decks ou fire; the steam, probably raised by the burning tallow, became so alarming that the after and main hatches were opened to prevent an explosion. After much trouble and considerable danger the wool on fire in the main and after hatches was got out and thrown overboard, and had the. fire been only confined to the between decks the ship would have been saved. About ten it became evident that no human power could save the unfortunate ship; the flames were already breaking through several parts of the main deck, the smoke and steam became worse and worse every minute. The passengers were oidered to get themselves ready to leave the ship—the boats were got ready also, each in charge of one officer. Meantime the purser, steward, and four men were emploved gettingthe provisions out of the store-rooms aft; as the barque had only a very limited supply of stores, it was most important to provide food for so many people. At about 11 a.m. the transhipment of passengers to the Italian barque commenced, not without danger or difficulty, as the breeze had freshened considerably. The sea was running high at the time ; however, owing to the greatest order and strict dicipline, all women and children were safely transferred to the barque; then followed all male passengers, with as much of their luggage as could be saved in so short a time. After conveying them all iu safety the boats continued carrying provisions. About 1.30 p.m. the main deck from the poop to the foremast, the front of poop, and part of saloon, were one mass of flames, the mainmast was burning as far as the top, and began to sway to and fro with every roll, and it became dangerous for those still working on board (the captain, Mr Beatie, third officer, Mr Stephenson, sailmaker, and Cornie, quartermaster) to stay any longer. The helm was put hard down and lashed to keep the burning sliip hove to. The. three men were lowered into the cutter waiting astern, and the captain followed them shortly afterwards. After keeping some time a little to windward to witness the rapid progress of destruction of the unfortunate ship, the boat pulled alongside the Italian barque, and sail was made, in company of the Spanish brig, for a barque in sight to the N.N.E., as there were very few provisions ou board of both vessels, besides no room to accommodate such a number of passengers and crew. At 5.80 p.m., hove to alongside, the British barque Queen of the North.! About this time the Omar Pasha had burnt to the water's edge. All fallen over the port side, and about 7,30 p.m., she went down stern foremost.,

[The Queen of the North, bound for London, about 600 tons, took nine passenges and the first officer, and the Spanish brig Maria llosa, about 250 tons, bound for Malaga, 12 men and the second officer. The rest remained on board the small Italian barcme, although only 400 tons, Although both foreign ships, the greatest kindness was shown to everyone. Captain, officers, and crew, shared willingly whatever they had on board. In fact, their conduct throughout deserves the highest praise. About 8 p.m., the passengers and their luggage were transferred and the three vessels parted company. On the 25th of April the Trench barque Belle Virginie, from the East Indies, bound to Marseilles, assisted the Anita Tagliavia with as much water as could be spared. On the 26th the captain of the German brig Auguste from Buenos Ayres, bound to Havre, took very kindly nine passengers and crew on board, and same afternoon a large ship hove in sight to the westward. At 5 p.m. the ship Zealandia, from Callao, bound to Cork, bore down upon the Italian barque, and hove to alongside. Her commander, Captain B. Mutton, at once offered to take all passengers and crew, and in an hour every one was safely on board of his large ship. After mutual good wishes, both vessels stood on their courses with a fair wind. The 4th May the Zealandia passed Corvo, bearing S. 90 miles, and had strong gales till the 7th, lat. 45 N., long. 21 W. Eight days fresh easterly breezes followed, and the vessel had to beat tack for tack, to lat. 50 N., long. 12 W. A light sourtherly breeze brought the ship into Cork Harbor. The passengers and crew were landed. Before concluding, I must express publicly my best thanks for the kindness shown to me and my passengers by Captain TrefHoiti, of the Italian barque Anita Tagliavia, the captain of the Spanish brig Maria Rosa, and the captain of the Zealandia.
