Thb brigantine Esther, Capt. James jboll, was expected to leave Wellington to-day for this port, calling in at various places along %he coast should the weather permit. The s.s. Star of the South, Capt. Holmes, r—punctual, as usud, to her advertised timesteamed heuce for the Thames and Auckland at 4 o'clock this afternoon, conveying 60 head cattle, 350 sheep, 1 horse, and 80 sacks malt. At latest dates, the schooner Cora, Captain Kussell, was loading at Dunedin for Napier. She will bring a full general cargo, and couitf consigned to Messrs. luuross & Co. The Al clipper iron barque Coronella — which vessel is now in all probability on her pas-age from London to Auckland —will, on discharge of inward cargo at the latter port, come on to Napier, discharge inward cargo, and then commence loading with wool for London direct. She will come to this port consigned to Messrs. Kinross & Co. We understand that sundry alterations to tyhe steam launch Una are in contemplation, preparatory to that favorite little crait being placed in the trade between this port and Wairoa. The brig Edith Haviland, with a cargo of sugars, from Mauritius, arrived at Jfort Chalmers on the I'lth iusfc. She left Port Louis on the 6th February. On the 21st of that month she experienced a heavy gale, which commenced from the east, and veered round to S.W. During the gale, a heavy sea struck her, and smashed ihe after part of the cabin, the skylight, bulwarks, &c, and washed away the man from the wheel. The skylight struck a man named Alfred .Bryant, a native of Dorsetshire, on the temple, killing him. He was buried the sume afternoon. The gale lasted for X4i hours, and moderate easterly winds afterwards prevailed. An action brought against the owners of she steamship Nevada for sinking the barque A. H. Uadger, during the latter vessel's pas sage from Sydney to Auckland, has been com • xneuced in the Supreme Court, Sydney. The latest papers do not acquaint us with the result of the action.
