The schooner Spray, bound from Patea to Wellington, arrived at the outer anchorage this morniog, having put in here through stress of weather. The Riwaka harbor is reported to be rapidly siltiog up, there baying been no fresh in tho river for some time past. Yesterday there was only 4ft. Gin. of water in the deepest part, and the Maid of Italy had to land four tons of her cargo before she could get oat.

The Murray sails for Wanganui at 8 o'clock to-morrow night. An inexplicable circumstance (says the South Australian Advertiser') occurred on May 1, when the Orient steamer Potosi was in lat. 43-30 south, long. 97-13 east. She sighted a large French transport ship, and ou getting within signalling distance the latter set the flags indicating " Serapis totally lost j" and " Look out for wreckage or raft." Captain Darley kept oufc of his course to hear do"wn on the vessel. Owing, however, to the heavy sea he was unable to get within hailing distance. The Frenchman then sot the signals " Sage of Teneriffe." No further communication took place, but what transpired certainly points to some shipping casualty. It cannot well have reference to I the Queen's ship Serapis, as sbe was in | London when the Potosi left. There was a vessel of that name here some few months j back, but until there is some further information to hand it would be wild to speculate upon the matter. . j
