SEPTEMBEE. 24—Herald, schooner, 56 tons, Gordon, for Auckland, in ballast.—Watt Brother*, agents. We have to report that neither arrivals nor departures have taken place since our last publication. The schooners Canterbury and Herald, both in ballast, will probably leave port to-day—-the former for Picton, and the latter for Auckland.

The 8.8. Lord Ashley, due from the North to-day, will have quick despatch for Wellington and Southern Ports.

The ketch Why Not is on the berth for Wai« roa, and will leave on an early date. The s.s. Eangitoto, from Melbourne, arrived at Hokitika at 7 a.m. on the 23rd inst. The following telegram from Christchurch, dated 21st inst., appears in our contemporary : —"The p.s. Sturt, while crossing the Kaiapoi bar, broke her connecting crank, and went ashore on the south beach, where she now lies full of water. She is insured for £IOOO in the Pacific Insurance Company." The Nelson Examiner, Sept. 10, says it is the intention of the owners of the cutter Satellite to lay on that craft at Westport for the Fijis in a few weeks. We learn from the Grey Eiver Argus that the p s. Charles Edward had, on the 3rd inst., while crossing the Grey Eiver bar, a narrow escape from a pile-up on the beach, which nothing but the coolness, presence of mind, and seamanship of Capt. Holmes prevented. She had crossed the break, and was entering the river, when one of the connecting-rods of the the rudder-chain broke. She ran on until she touched the north spit, was then bacfced full speed until she touched the south spit, when the jib was got on her, and the current of the river catching her bow, she came round, and steamed out to sea while the tiller was being shipped. She then returned, crossed the bar, and arrived safely at the wharf. The passengers who came on deck at the tin>e of the accident, speak highly of the manner in which Capt. Holmes handled his vessel. The b.s. Albion, formerly belonging to the Otago Steam Shipping Company, has arrived at Brisbane, from Japan, and is likely to be again employed in the intercolonial trade. The schooner Isles of Auckland has been wrecked at Apia, while collecting laboreis, and two of the crew eaten by the natives. The remainder were rescued. The two missing vessels—the Harlich Castle, from Melbourne to Sydney, and the collier barque Dunkeld, from Newcastle to Melbourne —are both regarded as lost, nearly 3 months having elapsed since they were last seen alter leaving their respective ports. The Cleator, which has just arrived at Melbourne with the first of the new season's teas, was sent out to China from Great Britain via the Suez canal. Ot three steamers loading at Eoo Chow, at the latest mail dates, two were for the English, and one (the Cleator) for the Australian market. In Yokohama harbor, on the 33th of June, there were eighteen merchant steamers, the lowest tonnage being 100, and the largest 2,500 tons ; and sixty-two sailing vessels, the lowest tonnage being 171, and the largest 1,049 tons. Besides these, there were five men-of-war, and nine receiving coal-hulks, making the total tonnage in port, exclusive of The European Mail, July 15, says that Her Majesty's ship Sphinx is to tow four lighters to Bermuda. She will then make her way across to Australia, on which station she will relieve the Virago. The tonnage loading on the berth at London for Australia and New Zealand, amounted, pn June 17, to 59,800 tons ; on June 24, to 57,600 tons ; on July 1, to 58,(00 tons ; and ism J/uly 8, to 5<J,600 tons.
