She left Lyttelton at midnight of Wednesday, April 10; experienced light favorable breezes as far as Cape Paiiiser, when the wind chopped-round to .the northward, blowing hard/ 'with murky sky; ■.= This continued for 36 hours, during which time the" Emerald made but little .progress, .' However, at 4 p.m. on Saturday, lSth,.inst.,—weather still remaining . thick,-ya ifcrong. southerly wind sprang up, which quickly the little vessel to her destination—anehbringin'tlie roadstead at s‘p,m, on Sunday, 14th Inst.; - entering the- Iron Pot -the next -morning.

SitfßP.— The Colonial Government gun-boat StuiS/ CaptaixliFaircliild, ‘arrived here’at 6 o’clock on Mhnday morning. from Tauranga, Opotiki, and Poverty Bay. ' She left the latter place at 2 p.m.' on experienced heavy southerly swell down the coast, and arrived here as above—entering the Iron Pot about noon. Passengers—Hon. J. C. Richmond, Esq., S.

Lord Ashley, Captain Worsp, arrived in port at 12 - 30 a.ffi. on, Tuesday last, having been detained in Auckland for 24 hours by the Government, in anticipation, of the arrival, at the Manukau, of the s.s. Phoebe, which it was supposed would have the long over-due Panama mail on board. She had not, however, arrived when she Ashley left.

Blue Bell.— The schooiier Blue Bell, Captain G. Loverock, left Lyttelton oh Saturday, April IS, bound for Auckland with a cargo of wheat. Had a very good run up as far as Cape Turnagain, off which she was on Tuesday night last. During the night,—partly owing to the strong northerly wind, but more to a nasty southerly, sea, which caused the vessel to labor heavily,—carried away the main rigging. Captain Loverock, therefore, deemed it advisable to bear up for Napier, in order to repair damages. Accordingly, stood in for Napier, coming to au anchor at daylight on Wednesday morning last. ‘ Star op the Souths.)— This steamer left Napier for Tologa Bay 6Mthe afternoon of Sunday; April 15, with sheep and one passenger. She returned tofpprt on Tuesday last, in ballast.

Lady Wynyard. —The cutter Lady Wynyard, Tui-rig,. master, , from the Great Barrier with a cargo of firewood, arrived in port on Thursday last, at 1 p.m. She left the Barrier on Saturday, April 13. Had light easterly winds as far as the East Cape, and north-easterly from thence to port.

Captain Schon reports the bar at Wairoa as being iu a much better state. There was 8 feet of water on it at high tide. It will be seen on reference to our advertising columns thac the Dolphin is agaiu laid oil tor Wairoa, to sail on Wednesday evening next.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The cutter Sea Shell, Stanley, master, sailed for the Fiji Islands on Monday last, with sundries and one passenger. She would call in.at one of the Auckland saw-mills to fill up with timber. The Panama Company’s s.s. Lord Asliley, Captain Worsp, steamed for Wellington and Southern Ports at noon on Tuesday last, with the English mail via Suez, a general cargo, and 23 passengers. The Colonial Government gun-boat Sturt, Captain Fairchild, steamed for Poverty Bay at 1 p.m. on Tuesday last. From there she will proceed to Wellington with the Hon. Colonel Haultain, who appears to be in very bad health. The schooner Annie, a trim little craft of about 25 tons builders’ measurement, recently built by Mr Bristow, at Arapawanui, is now in the Iron Pot loading for Wairoa, and will probably sail in a day or two.

Captain Loverock, of the schooner Blue Bell, which arrived on Wednesday in a disabled shite, reports the arrival at Lyttelton of the schoouer Success, Captain Frost, hence with.4a -cargo of wool, after a four days’ run. The Success was taking iu a cargo of oats for Napier when the Blue Bell left. She may, therefore, be expected to arrive here in a day or two. The ketch Hero, Campbell, master, arrived in port on Friday last, from Mohaka, with maize, Sic. The s.s. Star of the South. Captain W. Bendall, steamed for Auckland at 6 p.m. on Thursday last.

Francis, is due here to-morrow from Southern Provinces, with the English Mail, and will leave for Tauranga and Auckland shortly after arrival. " The fore-and-aft schooner Banshee changed hands yesterday, having been purchased by Capt. Kean, late of the wrecked brig Venus. She discharged her ballast yesterday, in order to fill up with cargo for Napier, sailing on Wednesday.— Southern Cross, April 13. [Captain Kean is no stranger to Napier, and we shaft be very glad to see him trading to our port once more.] The schooner Rose Ann, M'Kenzie, master, was to have left Auckland for Napier on Tuesday last; The cutter Rose, Dustin, master, which left Napier for Auckland on the sth inst., with a carof wool, arrived there on the 10th.

The ship Electric, Captain Lewtlnvaite, with the head-quarters of the 57th Regiment, under Colonel Logan, C. 8., sailed from Auckland for London on the 12th inst.

The lost cutter Sir Duncan Cameron.— The New Zealand Herald of a recent date h«is the following : —The following is. the correct list of persons on board this ill-fated cutter, which foundered at Napier a few weeks since, kindly fiirnished to us by Capt. M’Keuzie, who took them from this port for the purpose of joining the cutter while on nis passage to Canterbury;—Peter Cadenhead (master), Alfred Cavill, James Dixon. The lastnamed person was going to Wellington if he could reach there from Castle Point, but afterwards expressed his determination, if the Sir, Duncan Cameron could be got out of the river, of proceeding by her hack to Auckland wifh the rest of his mates. \

The new brig Flying Cloud has been fitted for sea, and someTSO passengers have taken berths in her for San Francisco. She has been announced ready for sea a week ago, but has not yet sailed. The cause of her detention .we,are not prepared to state. She. has been fitted up without consulting her commander, Captain .Seon, who.is an old and experienced navigator, and was inspected by the Collector of Customs, and the Emigration Officer, Captain Williams; who acts under the direction of the Customs authorities, and passed.—Southern Cross; April 12. , STRANDING; Of AN AMERICAN :SOHOONER ON THE COAET OS' COREA. : —BRUTAL MURDER: OF the whole Crew. —The American schooner General, Sherman, which left the harbor of Tochifn on the ,9th of August, stranded, on the coast of Corea, and the natives not only burned" the ,vessel and appropriated'hvferything that was portable on board; but murdered the whole crew ih the, most brutal manner. '.As' of-Corea 1 haye for a-long-time'been guilty ofaoseries of- similar cruelties against the seafering people of all; nations, our;Government ought : at once to-takp steps-effeo.

Scuttling the Ship Severn.— -At the Mansion House Police-court,- n few; days ago, the four Jmen, Holdsworth, Webb, Berwick, and Dean, who stand charged with having scuttled the ship Severn, and defrauded the London and Caledonian Marine Insurance Compauy of £I4OO, underwent a final examination before Mr. Alderman Finnis. The depositions of the sixty-six witnesses who have given evidence in the case from time to time, and which were exceedingly voluminous, having been completed, Mr. Alderman Finnis told the prisoners that he was about to commit them to Newgate for trial, and gave them the usual caution as to anything they might say. All the prisoners declared they were innocent, and said they would reserve their defence. They were committed for trial.— Home News, January 26. The John Duthie, which was discovered to be on fire on the evening of her arrival in this port from London, and was scuttled and subsequently raised, has completed her repairs and is nowin the Cove, where she will load for London. She has been very carefully fitted, and being again in first-rate order, is an ornament to the port.—S. M. Herald, March 23. The National Lifeboat Institution in England.— We clip the following interesting paragraph from the Home News, January 26: “ The returns of the National Lifeboat Institution for the year just closed afford conclusive proof of the valuable results accomplished by this very earnest and energetic society. During the twelve months the lifeboats of the institution have saved 15 vessels and 381 lives from destruction at sea, while rewards have been granted for saving 495 lives by fishing and other boats. It is an evidence of the prompt and ready action of the lifeboats of the institution, that in 122 cases they either assembled or put off iu reply to signals of distress from ships which eventually did not require their services. During 1866 the institution expended £29,667 on its 172 lifeboat stations on the coasts of the United Kingdom—the total amount thus expended since the institution was first established having been £160,400, besides the rewards for saving life.” An American Vessel Seized by the French. —lt is reported that the schooner Eustice, Captain Furlong, of San Francisco, has been seized at Acapulco by the French, and was, at last accounts, lying under the guns of one of their frigates in that pprt. The vessel took some treasure from one of the ports in the southern part of the State to Acapulco, to be placed on board the downward-bound steamship for Havana, and it is understood that it was on this account that she was detained by the French. It is reported that the French captain told the captain of the schooner that if lie attempted to make sail on his vessel he would “ blow her out of the water.” —San Francisco paper. Another of the fine large iron screw steamships, which have been ordered by the India Board, was recently launched from the yard of Messrs. Wigram, at Blackwall. The ship was named the Crocodile by Miss Mends, daughter of Captain Mends, the director-general of the transport service. A large company was assembled in the yard to witness the launch, and the ship glided off into the Thames in the most successful manner. The Crocodile is of the same dimensions as the Serapis, launched from the Thames Iron Works a few months since, and the three other vessels intended for the service, namely : —Length, 360 feet between perpendiculars; breadth, 49 feet; depth, 34 feet 6 inches ; 4173 tons, and 700-horse power. The whole of her interior appears to have beenwell arranged for the conveyance of troops, and it is stated that she will accommodate 1240 soldiers and the officers, and some passengers, and a crew mustering probably 200. —Home News, January 26.
