Arrival of the s.s. Wellington. The New Zealand Steam Navigation Company's s.s. Wellington, Captain Holmes, left Wellington at 11.40 a.m. on Eriday last, and arrived here at 7 a.m. on Saturday, having experienced strong southerly winds with heavy sea. We have to Hcknowledge our indebtedness to Mr C. D. Moss, purser, for files of Southern papers. The Wellington steamed for Auckland at 5 p.m. on Saturday. She may be expected to return to this port on Sunday next, Ist August, and will steam for Southern Ports on the following day. Arrival of the s.s. Lord Ashley. The Circular Saw Steam Navigation Company's s.s. Lord Ashley, Captain Worsp, left Auckland at 3 p.m. on Eriday last; rounded the East Cape at 2.45 p.m. on Saturday ; and arrived here at 4 p.m. yesterday. Erom the East Cape to Ahuriri roadstead experienced strong southerly winds and heavy head sea. Exchanged signals with the barque Southern Cross, from Lyttelton to Auckland, off Tiri Tiri Matangi. We have to thank Mr Monkman, purser, for late files. The Lord Ashley will steam for Auckland this day at noon, with the outward English Mail. Arrival of the s.s. Star of the South. The s.s. Star of the South, Captain Bendall, arrived in harbor at 7 o'clock this morning. She left Auckland on Wednesday last, 21st inst., at 2 a.m. Experienced easterly winds and heavy head sea to the East Cape, which was rounded at noon on Thursday, and met a strong souther, which increased to a heavy gale, attended with thick weather. At daylight on Eriday put into Tologa Bay for shelter, and left again at 4 a.m. on Saturday ; but shortly after passing Gable End Foreland the gale came on again, and blew with great violence; was compelled to bear up for Tologa Bay again, anchoring there at 2 p.m. Left again at 2 p.m. on Sunday, and arrived here as above. The Star brings a general cargo and 5 passengers. We have to thank Captain Beudall for files of Auckland papers. This favorite steamer will leave for Auckland on Wednesday morning. Miscellaneous. TriE Colonial Government gun-boat Sturt steamed for Wellington at 3 a.m. on Saturday. The s.s. Keera and s.s. Ahuriri both arrived at the Manukau on the 22nd inst., from Wanganui, with cargoes of sheep and cattle. The schooner Neva, from Tahiti, arrived at Auckland on the 22nd inst, with a cargo of cotton, cocoannts, oranges, &c. The cutter Dart went ashore at Patea the other day. The captain had hopes of getting her off on Thursday night, but owing to the stormy weather we fear it would be hardly possible.—Chronicle, 10th July. We have received information, through a correspondent, of a melancholy accident which happened during the last voyage of the National screw steamer Queen, from Liverpool to New Yoik. It appears that in the morning of the 19th of March, during a heavy sea, Capt. Crogan, the commander of the vessel, gave orders to stow the jib, which the men at first refused to do, but afterwards, on the order being repeated, five of the crew proceeded to carry it out, but had not been on the boom two minutes when they were all washed off. One of them, Nathaniel Thompson, succeeded in saving himself by seizing the bowsprit shrouds. The other four men, whose names are Augustus Otto, Samuel Wood, William Williams, and John Williams, were drowned. The correspondent who supplies us with the particulars of the occurrence, states that the boats were at the time all lashed in their

chocks, and not prepared for an emergency ; and that at the time the order to stow the jib was given, the sea was given the sea was so heavy that the jib was frequently out of sight under water. — Liverpool Courier. An English paper furnishes the names of vessels composing the flying squadron, and also that of the commander. They are—the Liverpool, 35 gnns ; Liffey, 31 guns; Phcabe, 35 guns ; Endymion, 21 guns; Bristol, 31 guns—all powerful fast-going unarmored frigates; Clio, 22 guns, whicli will relieve the Challenger ; and Scylla, 21 guns, both wooden corvettes. The squadron will be under the command of Rear-Admiral Hornby. The Owl says : —I lie Flying Squadron will leave England about the 10th of June for Bahia, where it will be joined from the West Indies; thence to Rio de Janeiro, aud on to the Cape of Good Hope, which it will leave about the end of September, for Melbourne and Sydney, visiting New Zealand about the middle of January, reaching Japan in March, and Vancouver's Island at the end of April; thence home, touching at Honolulu, Tahiti, Valparaiso, and the Falkland Islands, so as to reach England by the middle of October of next year. The Italian Government intends to have at Naples next year, a great international exhibition of maritime industry. It will open on the Ist of April, and close at the end of June.—Morgan's British Trade Journal. A striking instance of the proper distribution of power has been exemplified in a steamer recently altered at this port. The vessel in question was a paddle steamer of 350-horse power, with cargo space for 400 tons of goods. Her consumption of fuel was 24 tons a-day, and her speed 7i knots. She was converted into a screw steamer, and fitted with a twin propeller, and the consequence has been that with engines of 75-horse power she steams at the rate of 10| knots, and carries 800 tons of cargo, with a daily consumption of about 8 tons of coal daily.—Greenock Advertiser.
