We believe she conveys ammunition and stores. The schooner Success, Captain Eletcher, will most likely leave for Wellington at noon to-day. The ketcli Wild Duck, Captain A. Martin, will kvive for Poverty Bay about Saturday, returning in a lew days. TELEGRAPHIC. T-ia ship Christian M'Ausland, which left Port Chalmers at 4 p.m. on the 3rd, put into Lyttelton at noon on the Gth. The, p.s. Start, hence, on the sth, arrived at Wellington at midnight on the 6th, and left again at (i.oO p.m. on the 7th. The ship Jessie Readman arrived at Dunediu at 5 p.m. on the Sth inst., from Glasgow. The William Lindsay, Captain Galloway, from London, arrived at Port Chalmers yesterday. ENGLISH & FOREIGN SHIPPING NOTES. The ship Percy lias been despatched to Victoria by Mr Vcrdon with about 350 emigrants. The P. and 0. Company, in compliment to the Colonies, purpose calling a steamer now building the Australia. The Gloucester, for Wellington, put back to the East India Bock, 27th December, with damage. She sailed again on the 30th December, after repairing. A report from Greenock states that the Jessie Readman, for New Zealand, lying at the tail of the bank on the 17th December, dragged her anchor, and fouled the Bernardo, but, the damage being trifling, she will be able to repair where she lies. We regret to have to state that the most unfavorable 0 reading of the telegram relating to the Matoaka has proved the correct one. The European Mail says:—"The ship Matoaka was posted at Lloyds as a missing ship on December 5, and a notification issued by the Committee for the underwriters to settle on her loss. She sailed from Lvtteltou on the 12th May, 18G9, for London, with a cargo of wool and general merchandise, about GO passengers, and specie to the amount of £50,000, and was never heard of afterwards. The'general belief is that she was wrecked in the ice." A notable fact in connection with the Egyptian Canal occurred on Thursday, 2nd December. The Dine Cross, a vessel of 1000 tons burden, cleared in London for Calcutta vm Suez. She draws only 17 feet of water, has been built expressly for the 1 rade, and is the property of Messrs T. and W. Smith, of Crosbie-square. Captain Kennedy, her commander, has no doubt of the success of the venture, and hopes to be back in London Ist of April. The saving of time on the double voyage will be about 5 months. The toll for each passage through the canal will be £560, but at least double that amount will be saved in coal, seamen's wages, rations, &c. A scheme for floating telegraph stations has long ' been under the consideration of scientific gentlemen in Britain, and we learn from the Globe of the Gth December, that the Home Government have concluded to lend HJM.'s s.s. Brisk, which was so long on the Australasian station to a company named the Inter-national Mid-Ocean Telegraph Company (Limited), to"form the first of a series of v floating stations." She is to be moored sixty miles at sea, off Penzance harbor. He 31 ngines' and telegraph machinery will be supplemented v/ith all the latest improvements, everything being of the most complete description, in order to give the scheme a fair trial. Siie was to have taken j \\x\ sier position about the end of January, and the i'.;''4e -to the shore laid as soon after as possible. J
