The schooner Canterbury, Capt. Ruxton, arrived in port on Thursday last, 15th inst., from Lyttelton, bringing a large cargo of oats, Hour, and barley, consigned to order. Captain Ruxton reports leaving Lyttelton at 1 a.m. on the 11th inst., with light S.W. wind, which continued till off the Kai kouras, when it veered to N.W. On the 13th, a fine S.E. breeze sprung up. Rouuded Cape Kidnapper at 7.30 p.m. on the 14th, and arrived here at 10 a.m next day.

The s.s. Lord Ashley, Captain Andrews, left Dunedin at 3 p.m. on the 13 h inst.; arrived at Lyttelton at 9 a.m. on the 14th, and left again at 8 p.m. the same day ; arrived at Wellington at 2 p.m. on the 15th; left Wellington at 3.15 p.m. on the 16th, and arrived here at 1.15 p.m. on the 17th inst., leaving again for Tauranga and Auckland at 7 p.m. the same day. The schooner Queen left for Auckland yesterday with wool, tallow. &c. The schooner Canterbury leaves for Picton today in ballast. The schooners Hero and Three Brothers both left for Wairoa, on Thursday last—the former, at 6 p.m., and the latter at 11 p.m. The barque Albion will probably be discharged this week. The cargo, we are informed, is turning out in first-rate order. The barque, we believe, will proceed to Callao when her discharge is completed.

1 The schooner Queen is loading with wool, flax, and tallow, (intended for transhipment to an English vessel loading at Auckland), and will probably get away to-day. The ship Monarch, in command of Capt. Isaac Paddle (well-known here as formerly master of the ship Strathallan), arrived at Lyttelton on the 6th inst., from London, after a passage of 89 days from land to land. She was the bearer of a large cargo and 189 immigrants. The s.s. Wonga Wonßa, with the European and American Mails via San Francisco, arrived at Auckland from Honolulu on the 13th inst. Passengers for New Zealand—Rev. Mr and Mrs Neville, Mr and Mrs Pamell, Messsrs G. M'Lean, Tinne, Buchanan, ikllet, Gallaghan, Wallis, Mackay, J. L, Chapman, P. Johnston, Mr and Mrs Montdran; steerage, 9 adults and 2 children. The s.s. Airedale with the southern portion of the European and American Mails via S<m Francisco, arrived at Nelson from the Mauukau at 10.20 p.m. on Thursday last, 15th inst. The s.s.

She has proceeded to the Manukau from Wellington, conveying His Excellency the Governor and the Hon. the Colonial Treasurer,

The s.s. Claud Hamilton, from Melbourne, arrived at the Bluff at 10.15 a.m. on the 16th inst.

Under the heading " A Diabolical Attempt," the New York Herald relates the following attrocious attempt to fire a vessel:—''The crime charged against a man named Lange, a dealer in picture frames in this city, is one that should give him a pre-eminence in the criminal catalogue for diabolical intent. He shipped a box in April last in the New Orleans steamer, and secured an insurance on it of one thousand six hundred a»d fifty dollars, and the box proved to have been prepared with explosive and inflammable material, and was only prevented from burning the ship by the watchfulness and activity of the captain. In the box were vessels of alcohol, gasoline, and turpentine, aud fire was apparently to have been set to these by a chemical that would explode with slight friction. The friction was provided for by mice shut in a box, who, in gnawing their way out, were to fire the train that might have destroyed the ship* and all her compauy at sea, Here then is if the charge prove true, a man who deliberately contrives that awful calamity, fire, on a ship at sea-—contrives the possible frightful death of twenty or thirty persons—to secure the small prize of sixteen hundred dollars insurance money. He should be tried hy a jury of sea captains and sailors. It is a remarkable coincidence that this crime was attempted against the steamer George Washington, while some years since a crime of the same nature was contrived in the shipment of goods on the Mississippi steamer Martha Washington,"
