The coastic-g trade appears to be in a dull •Btate just now. Tbe ketch Argus has been laid up, and we hear ibat more of tbe "small fry " will follow suit. The Argus points out that the 3mall-pox scare in Sydney has led to a large diminution in thepassenger traffic between that place and New Zealand. It says many persons now come via Melbourne in order to escape being quarantined at New Zealand ports. Some time ago, it may be remembered, Mr. Bircbley purchased the wreck of the Hydrabad, lying on the Horowheaua beach, for the sum of £5. It bas turned out to be by no means a bad speculation, the purchaser having got about £200 worth of gear, &c, out of the vessel. He has now sold her for £2 to Mr. Liddle, of Foxton, who is going to try his luck at '-'picking up gold and silver" on this marine "Tom Tiddlers' ground."— Post.
