MISCELLANEOUS. The Dolphin.— The cutter Dolphin, Captain T. i-chon, left Napier on Friday the 6th September, and arrived at Wairoa on Saturday, the 7th, and discharged her cargo. Owing to the heavy sea in the Bay she could not get out before Thursday, the h, when she left, and arrived at Napier iu the evening, making a passage of 6 hours, against a most unfavorable wind and sea. Captain Schon repoi ts seven feet of water on the-Wairoa bar; also that the H ero and Annie, are lying inside the river, waiting for the weather to moderate before leav-

The Sauct_ Lass. —The schooner Saucy Lass, which was to have sailed ou Tuesday last, 17th Hist., sailed on Friday last, for Auckland. Tub Success.—By the Southern Cross of 'the 11th instant, we see that the schooner Success, Captain Trim mer, was to lea .‘e for this port on the next day ithe 12th). The John Bun van.— We understand that this passenger vessel arrived iu Wellington harbor no in London after a passage of 12.» days, having lauded her pilot off the Isle of Wight on the 20th May.

Loss op the Emerald Isle.— We regret to learn that- the above vessel capsized in a gale off the Karmnea, and all on board—the master and three men—perished in her, Fire on Board op the Brigantine Sea-gull.— The Southern Cross, of the 12th instant, says Information has been received by the owners of the Auckland brigantine Sea-Gull, at present on a trading vo\ age to the islands of the South Pacific, of a fire which broke out on board that vessel as she lay at anchor off the 1 slana of Touhouai, ou the Bth Juuo last. The vessel had visited the island for the purpose of trade, and, whilst the master (Captain Haddock, formerly of the Her eules) was on shore, his attention was arrested by an alarm of fire raised on hoard the vessel. He immediately put off .to the brigantine, and took steps to discover the whereabouts of the fire. The hatches were put on by his direction, and seven casks filled with water, and placed around the main hatchway. The hatches were then quickly removed. and the water deluged the hold. -iThis exP® di Gnt, however, proved insufficient to extinguish the fire, and the hatches were covered with, wet bags, the port anchor slipped, and the vessel taken further into "shore, so that, in the event of the captain deeming prudent to scuttle her, he could do so without endangering the lives of those on board, and at the same time save as much as possible •of the cargo. The vessel was lying at anchor in five fathoms of water, some distance from the shore, at the time of tne occurrence. The smoke continuing unabated, Captain Haddock scuttled the vessel,, by boring five holes in her, and so extinguished the fire. The vessel left the island on the 27th of June, and arrived, at Tahiti on the 9th or July. From the conduct of the mate of the vessel, Captain Haddock entertained very little doubt that the fire was the work of an incendiary; aud that officer was arraigned on the charge before a naval court-martial at Tahiti, hut acquitted at the termination. of the inquiry., The French authorities at the island refused to interfere in the matter, alleging, as their excuse, that they did not consider the peace of the island was jeopardised by such an occurrence. Tue hull and balance of damaged cargo were surveyed by order of Mr Wilkins, Lloyd’s agent at the island and the goods sold on account of whom they might concern, realising a fair price. The vessel was repaised, and left Tahiti, for Malden"lsland,.to load guano for" Sydney, after which she returns to this port on her owners’ account.,

Ocean Back.—The Feting Cloud and Alice Cameron.— The Southern Cross, 12th instant says: It would seem that we are to have an ocean race on a small scale between the opposition liners Fly r mg Cloud and Alice Cameron. The former vessel, which has recently fallen into the hands of a Sydney and Auckland firm, left.this, port for Sydney shortly before midnight on Thursday on her maiden trip, and was followed on Saturday, shortly after mid-day, by the barque Alice Cameron, similarly bound. Light winds prevailed all Friday, and the former was unable-to make a reach'seaward. On Saturday morning she was passed by the brigantine, Hercules, bound here, between Point Bodney and the Little Barrier Island.' The Alice Cameron was also passed in the passage the same evening. During Sunday, however, the latter appears to . have gained on the brig, as the Bita, which arrived on Tuesday, reports having sighted the two almost in company. The brig was passed off the Poor Knights at noon on Monday, and the barque between the‘Poor Knights and the Hen mid Chickens shortly If the brig should prove unfortunate enough to labor under the same disadvantages throughout, there is very little hope of her outstripping thefavorite Circular Saw Liner on her first trip.
