Among her cargo we notice—l 9 cases, J. W. Gowing. iThe Southern -Cross, of the Bth instant, says:— Owing to the severe weather of the past few dayß coasting and other vessels have suffered some detention, and there were no entries or clearances passed at Her Majesty's Customs'yesterday, a circumstance which we do not ’remember- to have occurred before.

The barque Dominga, Captain Wing, arrived at Auckland on the 11th inst., from' San Francisco, which place she loft on the 14th December. She brought a full general cargo and 47 passengers, most of whom are for the Thames diggings. The Dominga was the bearer of-'later English and American news, particulars of which wUI be found elsewhere.

’ The Daily Southern Cross of the 11th inst. says:— By the arrival yesterday of the cutter Waterlily from Wangapoa, we leam that the cutter Sea Belle, which recently went ashore on the beach at that place has been totally destroyed during the heavy weather which prevailed in the early part of last week. The Sea Belle was a smart Auckland cutter, and was timber-laden at the time of her going ashore. The sails, rigging, boom, spars, and gear were brought into' town by the owner, in the Waterlily; yesterday, the hull having been burnt on the beach before leaving. She was uninsured; and the loss will be severely felt by her owner. News was brought by the Kaikoura that H.M.S. Brisk had left Sydney for Freomantle, Western Australia, to aid in quelling a serious riot, caused it is said by Fenians, hut which, it is more probable, is a rising amongst the convicts. This will necessitate the Falcon remaining here for some time longer.—Wellington Independent, 6th February. The Colonial Government gun-boat St. Kilda, Capt. Fox, arrived at Wellington on the Ist Feb.; from the Chatham Islands, after a rough passage of sixty hours, with 12 discharged prisoners and their wives and families, Captain Take and eight of the guard, Messrs Traill, Bolleston, and Mair, native interpreter, Mrs Thompson and three children.

She was scuttled and sunk, aud the Are extinguished.

At Queenscliff, on the 25th Jan., the ship SoUnisn went ashore on the Marco Polo Beef, betweeu QueenschffandSwanspitlightship. It was expected that she would be got off. The Schaldis was out-ward-bound for Callao.

The Black Ball clipper ship City of Melbourne, a vessel of 1,828 tons burthen, in command of Capt. Jones, was burnt at Melbourne on the 26th Jan. The City of Melbourne, at the time when the lire broke out, had onboard 3256 bales of wool, besides a quantity of tallow, leather, &c. It is not known whether this vessel wqs insured. An official inquiry into the loss of the Esmeralda was begun in the Besident Magistrate’s Court here on Friday last and was concluded the next day. The Court expressed its opinion that Captain Kerr should have attempted to go into Opara harbor, aud that in not doing so he showed want of promptitude, and they therefore adjudged him to be reprimanded, and cautioned him to be more careful in future.—Wellington Independent, 6th February.

The Massacre of the Captain and Crew of the Marion Benny.—We have been informed by one of the crew of the Marion Benny, who fortunately remained on the island of San Christoval, that Capt. Delany proceeded to Bubiana, to trade with the natives for beche-de-mer aud tortoise-shell. Londo, a chief of Bubiana, was communicated with as to procuring articlesjfor trade, hut said he eould not get tortoise-shell tiU the following day Captain Delany determined to ; wint. hut Londo still put him off with a promise that it should be brought on board on the third day. In the meantime, it appears that the natives had held a council on the beach, and formed a plot to massacre the crew and seize the vessel. They went on board; the captain was in the cabin at the time. They caUed on him to come on deck to buy some fish they had promised to get for him. The captain declined, and Londo stiH requested Captain Delany to come on deck, but he told the, native chief to trade with the mate. Londo. called out ini his native tongue, “Are you all ready? Get round the men!” They immediately rushed the men, took their arms, and then strangled them ou deck. As no natives were allowed to come oh board with arms they made use of their hands, —about ten natives to one European. While this was going on on deck Londo went down into the cabin, aud, taking the captain unawares, attempted to strangle him,, when a struggle ensued, in which Capt. Delany threw the chief and jumped ou him. The chief then called on his men to assist him; three of them went into the cabin, aud all four hound the unfortunate Captain Delany, dragged him on deck, and k it is supposed, killed him by dashing out his brains against the cables, as his grey hairs were seen on them. Tne-deck was covered with blood from the galley aft on botti sides. This information was obtained from the friendly natives on the islands. We presume that steps will be taken to punish these savages.—Sydney' Morning Herald, ,31st January. ,
