The Pearl, which arrived on Saturday, brings a load of coal from Col ling wqod for her owner, and this morning hauled alongside the Commercial Wharf, where she will discharge it. The ketch Prospect arrived this morning from Tata Islands with a load of limestone. The schooner Richard and Mary having sustained some slight injury to her cutwater, has been placed in the hands of the carpenters. She was this afternoon placed on the hard near Lukins' wharf. The hulk Hera has been shifted from her old berth, between the Government and Albion wharves, and is now lying in the stream, where moorings have been laid down for her. Captain Lombard, late sailing master of the yacht Secret, is now in command of the Mazeppa, a smart fore-and-aft scooouer of over 100 tons register. By working late on Saturday night, the cargo of the Ilawea was landed, and about 70 tons shipped for Taranaki. This was the cargo of two or three steamers, which had been earned to and fro, without being able to land it at New Plymouth. Advantage was taken of the present fine weather, and the whole of the accumulation was put on board the Hawea. She sailed shortly before two p.m. yesterday, carrying the outward San Francisco mail, and arrived at New Plymouth this morning. If the weather is as fine there to-day as it was yesterday, doubtless the Hawea will be able to land the cargo before dusk this evening. The Union Company's ss. Wellington, Captain Lloyd, came into harbor this mornicg at 2 o'clock. She left Onehunga at 1 p.m. on Saturday, crossed the Manukau bar at 3 p.m., and arrived at New Plymouth at 7 a.m. yesterday; disembarked and embarked passengers and landed cargo, and after a stay of four hours proceeded on to Nelson arriving here as above. Fine weather marked the run down. In Taranaki roadstead the sea was as smooth as glass, there not being a ripple on the water. The Wellington sailed for Picton and South at 11-20 a.m. The Picton Press of Friday says :— On Saturday last the master of the cutter Hero came into Picton, and reported the loss of his vessel on Friday night, on Pig Islaud, Queen Charlotte Sound. From what we have been able to learn, it appears that on the nignt the vessel was wrecked the weather was very tempestuous and dark, and going down the Sound the vessel got too near the Island, and when the master saw the danger he was in, he attempted to wear her, but she would not answer her helm, and drifted on to the rocks at the N.E. end of the Island, and became a wreck. The Hero belonged to Mr Webb, who only purchased her very recently in Wellington, where she was refitted and furnished with a number of appliances required iv the trade she was intended for. There was only a small quantity of cargo on boarJ, beiug conveyed to Havelock from Wellington, thither the vessel was bound, and the greater proportion of this is lost. The Hero was insured for about two-thirds her value, and there was some small sum insured on a portion of the cargo.
