Queen. —At.t. Hands Saved. —We regret to learn of the total wre ;k of the N.Z.S.N. Company’s s.s. Queen, in Cook’s Straits, oa the sth inst. The following particulars of the disaster have been furnished to the Evening Post by Captain Kraeft, who commanded the ill-fated craft, and appears iu that , journal of the 6th instant:—“The Queen, which ■ had just been repaired in this port, left for Nelson in ballast about five o’clock yesterday evening, in i order to be placed on the Company’s slip. The 1 weather in the Strait was very dark, and about midnight, when four inilcs to the northward of the Brothers, the vessel was felt to bump heavily. Every one jumped on deck, but the danger was not to he stayed; she struck. again, and then drifted off info deep 'water. All efforts to keep . her afloat being : useless, three boats were lowered, and all hands got into them, fortunately just in time, for withfn the space of half an hour after she first struck she went down head foremost in sixty fathoms water. The boats made Lor, Tory Channel, where they were seen and picked up, by the s.s. Airedale. The Queen was not insured, and the company are heavy losers by the wrecks Wreck of. the s.s. South From a telegram in the N.Z.- Advertiser, dated Dunedin, April 3rd, we learn that the s.s. South Australian has become a wreck, on her, passage from Dunedin to Melbourne. The" following'is the telegram referred to" The steamer South Australian, Captain John Mackie, bound from this port to Melbourne, was wrecked on a reef; four miles north of Coal Point, aiid nearly twenty miles north of the Nuggets. The crew and passengers, amongst the latter being several ladies, were all saved by the boats, of which there were four. One boat made the Taieri-river; the remaining three no doubt went south to the Molyneux., The cause of the wreck is suspected to be variation of the compasses: Wreck supposed to be total.-' The night was pitch dark. There was gold, to the, value of £13,000 on board, and it is not yet known whether any was saved or not. The South Australian had just been purchased by Messrs. McMeckanand Blackwood, of Melbourne. She. struck on the.reef, about half past ten o’clock last night, and half an hour afterwards the water had risen to her engine room combings. Soihe passengers have already arrived-in town. The steamer Geelong will leave Dunedini to-night with the agent of the Australian; and a : number of assistants, for the. scene.pf the wreck.” . The Rakaia:—The Panama Company’s' s.s. Rakaia, Captain Wright,' arrived at Wellington at 5.30 p.m. ; ,on the 6th instant, having’left Sydney on the Ist inst. Respecting this ,steamer .the Sydney Morning Herald, of Marbh 30, has the folldwihg :—“ TheP. and NIZ. Company’s si Rakaia, . having undergone a most: thorough overhaul in • hull, and machinery^at the hands of' Messrs. ■ M‘Arthur and Co., Waterview Bay, made a trial ; trip down the harbor yesterday morning.

'Total Wreck or the Schooner Albion, of Sydney.—Loss,; to?! Five-Lives.—The Sydney Herald, of .the Ist April, has the following “It is once-more our painful duty to report tlie -loss. of life by shipwreck. In'this instance, the schooner Albion, the properly of Mr.'J. Shoobert- of Balmain, is the unfortunate vessel.- From Siuntzel Waters, one of the two survivors, we glean the following, account of 'the sad catastrdphe :‘— 1 The Albion,. a ; schooner of. 170 tons, William Watkins,'master, left Bulli for Sydney' with a cargo of'coal, on-Thursday morning, at 6 o’clock, 1 that time being Jignt ‘Southerly, -and during the forenoon it dropped quite calm. On Frid&y: there- was a liglit N.E. breeze, which continued from that quarter until 2 p.m. on Saturday, wh6n it veered pound to the southward, coming in squalls all night,, accompanied by rain and dark dirty weather. At half past 9 o’clock the captain stood off the land to . try and make , out Sydneylight, but, failing to do so, came in close for the purposes! endeavouring to recognise the l»ynd It being too dark to see what the land was, he began to wear the ship, and -in doing' so she struck on a reef near the south-head of Port Hacking, at 1P ; 30 p.m.; she then began to break up, the stern going first, and the crew, wishing to stick to her as long as they could, assemble'd on the bowsprit until 11 o'clock, when the bows parted and precipitated them into the water. Thomas Williams, Samuel Waters, and .another, called Jack, whose surname we were unable to ascertain last night, got on to a piece of the : Bulwarks, where they rejmqined until 7 o'clock yesterday morning, having jbeen drifted about three miles to sea, when the tide set them ■in again; Jack, however, about 2 a.m., died from exhaustion.- The following are the names of the crew:—William Watkins, master (drowned) ; . Charles Nelson (drowned); Charles Morgan (drowned) ; Christopher , a Swede (drowned); John - • (drowned) ; Samuel Waters.(saved); Thomas Williams (saved).' All the crew were single men, with the exception of the captain, whose wife and family reside at Miller’s Point’”

The ketch. Falcon, Milo, master, arrived in harbor this morning at .half past 10 o’clock, from Havelock. On Thursday evening, while passing through the Sound, a seaman named Martin Griffin jumped overboard, and notwithstanding every exertion which was instantly made by Mr. Milo and his men, the unfortunate man was drowned. The body has not: yet been recovered. —Evening Post, April 6. The s.s. Airedale, Captain -A. Kennedy, arrived at Wellington on the 6th inst., from Picton, Nelson, Taranaki, and'Manukan. She had on board Capt. Kreeft.and the crew of the s.s. Queen, which was wrecked on Cook’s Hock at midnight on the sth inst.

The'barque Constance left Auckland on the 14th ult., and made Sydney Heads at 6 p.m. on the 23rd ult.; but the evening closing in very thick and hazy, Captain Elliott deemed it prudent to haul oft until morning; but as the night advanced the wind from E.N.E. increased to a heavy-gale, and it was only by dint of great perseverance that the ship, under close reefed topsails, secured a safe offing, standing off on the port tack. The weather continued rough to the 27th, by which time the ship had been driven by a strong current to the southward of Gabo Island, and she has been endeavouring to get to the northward ever since ; but the wind baffling about from every quarter has prevented it. At 2 a.m. on the 30th ult. Gabq light was visible.—Sydney Morning Herald, Ist April. The Jane Lockhart, from Hokitika, has been on this coast some days, but was compelled to keep an offing from the continuance of easterly gales. She made Jervis Bay on the 29th ult.—lbid.

Newcastle.—The business of the port has been of a very quiet nature tills week, and there have been but few arrivals. Theharbor has a rather scant appearance. The shipment of coal lias also been much smaller than usual, the quantity shipped being about 10,830 for Svdney, 3,531 for Melbourne, 2,294- for Soutli Australia, 1,037 for New Zealand, 526 for Singapore, 140 for Brisbane, and 508 for steamers and home consumption. —Newcastle Chronicle, March 30.
