Worsp, the property of the Circular Saw Steam Navigation Company, has, as most of our readers are aware, been at Sydney for some time past, where she has received a thorough overhaul in every respect, regardless of expense. She was to leave Sydney on the Ist November for Auckland, from which port she will proceed to Napier, and may be expected to put in an appearance on or about Wednesday next-, 10th November. She will have quick despateli for Wellington. We understand from private letters that the Mataura and others of the late unfortunate Panama Company's vessels have been sold to the Turkish. Government, it is supposed for the purpose of es - tablishing an overland route from Trebizord to Bussorah by way of the Persian Gulf, the latter route being shorter and more direct than that by the Red Sea, although the land journey and sea voyage on the other side are a little longer. The brig Maggie was brought into the Iron Pot on Saturday evening, and moored alongside the new Government wharf, which is now ready for the use of vessels.

After a protracted detention in port, the brigantine Esther, Captain James Campbell, took her departure yesterday for Blackhead with a general cargo ; from thence she will proceed to Wellington w'ith n r.tirgo of wool

The introductory survey station will be to the northward of Auckland.

Carnatic, from Suez to Bombay, was totally wrecked on September 13, off the Island of Shadwan, in the Red Sea. The ship lay 36 hours on a reef, then broke -up, and went down into deep water, carrying the whole of her cargo, specie, and mails; nothing was saved. The wreck was also attended with a sad loss of life; five passengers, the ship surgeon, Di- Hansford, the purser, Mr Gardner, the purser's clerk, the engineer and one other engineer, three stewards, and fifteen natives were drowned. The circumstances, as told, seem to demand a rigid inquiry. The passengers and crew saved were taken back to Suez in the Sumatra. This is the first time the P. &O. Company have lost the mails, and the first time, with one exception, they have lost passengers.
