The Wreck of the British Admiral. —II.M.S.S. Pearl, which arrived at Melbourne from Sydney on the 21st July, reports that the wreck of the British Admiral has been found in seven fathoms. From its position) ifc is probable the cargo may be easily recovered. Several more bodies have been buried at King's Island. Collisions.—ln Melbourne, in the collision case in the river between the steamers City of Hobart and the Otago, the pilot has been exonerated from blame. In Sydney, the collision case between the steamer Nevada and the barque E. H. Pyke has been decided ; the former has been relieved of all blame.

She is six days before her time. An Inquiry was held in Wellington at the Customs, into the circumstances of the accident to the Frowning Beauty, in the gale on the 21st inst. The evidence shows that, after the cable parted, the captain signalled for assistance from 4 o'clock in the morning till noon, before assistance was sent.

The mail steamer Prince Alfred was totally wrecked on the morning of the 14th June, by running ashore during a dense fog. Passengers, mails, baggage, and treasure all saved. The wreck was sold on the 16th for $350; but the steamer having broken up. it is not expected that. the purchaser will make much out of the cargo, which consists principally of furs and hides. .

Heartless Conduct of a Captain.— Proceedings have been taken in Melbourne against the captain of the ship Oakworth, for. running down a fishing vessel in the Irish Channel, and omitting to render assistance to the perishing crew. It was shown in evidence on the inquiry, that after running into the vessel, although cries for assistance were distinctly heard, he showed utter disregard for the saving of life. - The Navigation Board suspended his certificate absolutely.
