' The " Maukin."— This fine brig arrived from Sydney, on Wednesday evening last, after a favourable passage of twelve days. She has brought down Wo line draught Mares, of the Clydesdale breed, heavy in foal, which Cuptain Cooney, with his usual success, Una landed in admirable condition. The voyage of the Maukin has been in some degree protracted, from her commanders laudable auxiety for the preservation of the animals committed to his care. While blowing halt a gale of wind, a heavy sea struck the horse boxes, and had nearly unshipped them ; the wind increasing, Captain Cooney deemed it advisable to heave the brig to, which he did for thirty-six hours, when the weather moderating, enabled him to resume his voyage, and bring to us another valuable addition to the htock of Auckland. The schooner CAwM reached Sydney on the 25th ult, having been on tjhe passage 20 days, The brig Scotia, was to sail from Sydney, for Port Nicholson ds the Maukin left. The schooner Frolic, •"was also laid on for that port, and the barque Promise, JHoseason, 446 tons. The Bee had sailed, with a federal ea go, for Wellington. The barque Sea Nymph, had nearly completed her lnding of coals at Newcastle, and may be looked for daily, as ' also the barque Ganges, and schooner Deborah. • ".'%»'• i The schooner Comet sailed 19th ult., from Newcastle, with sheep, for Port Cooper. . ' The Star of China, schooner, Wood, 100 tons, which .•jailed on the. 7th July, from Port.'Nelsqn, did not reach Sydney before the 13th ult., having been 36 days on the passage, in a succession of heavy adverse gales. She ran slibrt of provisions* aud had to put into Port Stephens for supplies. -, „ ' „ , , Tlie barque Isabella Anna, 225 tons which reached Ss'dney on the 16th ult., from the Hebrides, 25th July, has brought intelligence of., the total wreck of the barque British Sovereign, Captain Jones, on the eastern side of sandwich Island, about the 24th of April last. The British Sovereign sailed from Auckland, 23rd March last, on a sandal wodd voyage,' and afjter calling at Tanna and Erromango was drifted, by a heavy ground swell, upon a rock about a cable's length from, the main land of Sandwich Island, when she bilged and broke up, losing every thing. Ihe 1 Captain and nearly the whole ot the crew were afterwards ' murdered by the natives, only one Tanna boy, named Tommy Weir, escaping to recount the sad tidings of their fate. An attempt was made to attack the Isabella Anna, as she Iny at anchor, which met with no success, { The. British Sovereign belonged to Messrs. Boyd and Co., and .was, we believe, uninsured. The Isabella . Anna had succeeded in procuring 145 tons ol sandal wood in the Course of seven months. The Vanguard, from Sydney, only since the 25th March last, had also procured 60 tons. The schooners Vixen and Setina, it is feared are totally- lost, 'ihe Vi\en sailed from Sydney on the 16th July, bound for Newcastle, since then nothing whatever had been heard of her. Besides the crew, consisting vt lour seamen, the master (Stevens), had his wife on board with him. The Sehna, a flat bottomed schooner, of 52 tons, built at Moreton Bay, exprcshly tor bar harbours, left Brisbane for. Sydney, on the Btn July, with Mr. Cameron her builder, on board, and five seamen , and there can now be no doubt but that she has fouii'leml also. The aundiil wood trade has been exceedingly successful during the present, aud part of the past year. The Rover's linde alone, procured 200 tons. The Alfred and Statesman, have lately taken above, 3oo tons to the China market ; this is a trade in which New Zealand might" participate with very fair prospects of great advantages. The Avon which left Sydney in September last, obtained 150 tons during an eight months cruise. The banjue Orwell, has taken t a full cargo of sundul wood ou to Hong Kong. On the 24th June, in lat 2-2" 4' S., lon. 169» BE., the Avon experienced a severe shock of an earthquake, which shook the vessel to her centre, and nearly prostrated the man at the wheel. The. weather was of a terrific desenptiou ; when within three days sail of Port Jackson, she was taken in a gale, which, drove her oil five weeks, and in one week, 300 miles from the land. The American whale ship. Russell, while cruising among the Feeze's, struck on a sunken reef, ou the tjcti June last, aud became a tqtal wreck, which, being •old for the benefit of the underwriters, Captain Handy, of the Belle, became the (purchaser, and succeeded in saving from her about 1100 barrels of oil.
