Shortly after 12 o'clock today—after having waited a considerable time for a breeze —she cast off from the Government moorings, and with nearly all sail set was soon beating out of the Bay with a fresh and increasing N.E. wind. She seemed in perfect trim, and presented a vary pleasing appearance. Wo once more wish Captain Homer and his noble vessel a speedy and pleasant passage home.

The s.s. Napier steamed for Mangakuri at a Jate hour last night, and may be exoeeted to return to port early to-morrow morning. The Circular Saw Company's s.s. Lord Ashley, Capt. Andrews, may be expected to arrive here on Monday morning, from Wellington and Southern Ports, and will meet with her Usual prompt despatch for Tauranga and Auckland. The s.s. Go-ahead, from Auckland, may now be considered due here. A curious case occurred recently at Halifax (Nova Scotia.) On the 14th September Capt. Baotz of the German ship Herman, arrived at Halifax in a schooner, and reported that his vessel had encountered a severe gale, receiving such injurica that he and his crew abandoned her, and she sank soon afterwards. On the 19th September an American fishing vessel came into Halifax, bringing with her the Herman, still afloat, but wiih several holes bored in her bottom. Capt. Raetz saw his ship ar rive, and went into the forest and hanged himself. His crew were arrested, and ttiey ptatcd that the captain had induced them to scuttle the ship in order to obtain the insurance upon her. A Manchester Examiner correspondent telegraphs from Cuxhaven: —The steamer Neuent'elde, with a cargo of torpedoes, lying in this harbor, has been destroyed. Some of the landwehr officers quartered here went on hoard to look at the torpedoes. In showing them it appears that the necessary caution was not observed, and the torpedoes exploded, the phip being blown to pieces. Nothing but the funnel can be seen above the water. Only the engineer, boatswain, and apprentice were saved. The captain, four of the crew, and the four landwehr officers were killed.
