The cutter Dart sailed this morning for Para Para for a load of hematite ore for Mr Louissou. We were slightly in error the other day when we stated that the Dart had leen purchased by the Nelson Hematite Company, Mr Louisson having bought her •upon his own responsibility, the figure, we understand, being £180. A very remarkable incident occurred on the voyage of one of the ice ships lateiy arrived at Bombay from America. The vessel was struck hy lightning, and the electric fluid passing into the body of the ship through the foremast, pierced a hole some ten feet in diameter through the ice, melting about thirty tons, and setting fire to and slightly burning some of the beams of the ship in its passage.
