The ketch Mary Ann Hudson is advertised to sail for Wairoa direct to-morrow night. The s.s. Star of the South, from Auckland, may be looked for during to-night or to-morrow morning. A project is said to be in contemplation for establising a line of tug-propellers in the Strait of Magellan, to enable sailing vessels to avoid the longer and more dangerous circumnavigation of Cape Horn. The passage of the Strait by sailing vessels has seldom been found practicable, but with propellers furnished with intelligent pilots, the difficulties of the case could be readdy overcome.
