WRECK OP THE BRIGANTINE MARCHIONESS.

News arrived in Wellington by the steamer Boomerang that the well known brigantine Marchioness, Captain Kreeft. had gone ashore in Cook-Straits. She was bound for this port with a valuable cargo, consigned to Messrs. Miles, Kington, and Co. The 'Independent' gives the following particulars:— It is with much regret that we report a most serious accident to the brigantine Marchioness, formerly one of the Melbourne and Wellington Mail Packets. The accident occurred on June 24th, at the north entrance of Queen Charlotte Sound, where she was seeking shelter from a heavy S. E. gale. Capt. Kreeft was intending to anchor near the Island of Motu Ara, but stuck on a rock close to it; finding the vessel was filling, he ran her on the shore of the main land, where she was when the Boomerang saw her shortly afterwards. The passengers got safely ashore and had erected a tent. Notwithstanding the vessel has three feet water in her cabin, we are happy to say that Capt. Kreeft is in good hope of getting her right again. She is from Melbourne, having called at Nelson, and was bound to Lyttelton. The following is an extract from the Boomerang's log, of Friday last, with which Capt. O'Reilly has kindly favoured us.—"At sea in Cook's Straits, strong and increasing gale from S. E. with a rising sea and threatening appearance. At 1.30, p.m. increasing head gale, bore up for Queen Charlotte's Sound, and on entering saw a vessel on shore in the northern-most cove on the west side, firing guns and making signals of distress. At 2 20. p.m. boarded the stranger and found her to be the Marchioness, Captain Kreeft, of and from Melbourne to Ly ttelton via Nelson; left the latter port on the previous day. This morning at 7 a.m. while running in for anchorage from the South East gale, struck on a sunken rock off the north end of the small island called Motuara and ran up 4 feet on it, with all sail set; but backed her off again, when she commenced making water fast, and to prevent her from sinking ran her on shore where she now lies, the water when we visited her being above the Cabin deck. Passengers making a tent on shore preparing to leave vessel pro tern. Offered any assistance in my power, but Captain Kreeft merely desired that the accident might be reported on my arrival in Wellington."

In reporting the Marchioness, the ' Nelson Examine*' says:—''The Emeu, a little steamer of 35 tons, sailed for this port, from Melbourne, on the 10th instant. She is intended, we believe, to ply between Nelson and Motueka."

The 'Wellington Independent,' hearing of the same circumstance, reports it thus:—"Capt. Kreeft had purchased a small steamer of about 35 tons. She sailed from Melbourne the same day as the Marchioness, and on arrival at Nelson would be offered for sale. From what we hear of this little vessel, we think she would be well adapted to run between Wellington and the Hutt; and a company might work her with great advantage to themselves •and benefit to the community."

Curi6sly enough, we have also some reason to lay claim to this fiery monster. She is reported by the Melbourne papers as having cleared on the 7th June for Canterbury, N.Z.j and from circumstances which have transpired we are led to believe that this port is really her destination. But, as from some unexplained cause the Melbourne.letter mail per Boomerang for this province seems to have been left behind somewhere, there are no private advices on the subject to which to refer.
