[ADtERfISr.MENT]. To the Editor oj Ifx New Zralander. Sra,— The Prcsj being always kind to advocate the cavie of public or private calamity, I hesitate uot to ask a place in the columns of your Journal for the following distressing accident. Oa the night of Tuesday, the 9th inslant, amid the hurricane that blew iv shore, and the tempestuous sea that surged along the beach at this eettlement, the schooner or lugger belonging to the Catholic Clergy located at Auckland and its dependencies, having broken from her chain, wai dashed to pieces against the rocks, and became an irreparable wreck, notwithstanding the aid of the police and many of the pensioners, who were prompt in rendering every available asbistance. This loss is the more to be regretted, ai the vessel irai invariably employed in services for the general good, along the adjacent coasts • it was on one of these excursions down hero that she met her fate, having been employed to convey to this settlement, from the Waiheke coast, some blocks on which to cect the flooring ol the public school, recently erected, as well as a quantity of posts and railing to fence in the allotment on which it stands : add to this, the circumstance that this privation will be more severely felt now than at any previous time, by reason of, Ihe utility calculated to be rendered by such a craft, in the carriage of materials for the proposed Maori College, about to be erected on the North Shore. Mr. Editor,— as it is usual in the Mother Country, on the occasion of any public, and ofte.i pi ivate distress, to have recourse to public sympathy, peihaps it would not be deemed too much to hope for similar succor in the present instance, by way of contributory aid from the general community, affoiding means for supplying a vessel similar to that which has been lost, particularly as the forbearance of the sufferers, r iders them submissive and tileat under every vicissitude, and precludes their making such an appeal themselvei. I have only to add, that any conCributioui to this end will he thankfully received, at Auckland, by,— . The Rev. T. Forest, Chapel-liouse, Mr. H. Coolahau, Shortland Crescent. At Howick, by The Rev. A. M.Garin, Capt, A M'Donald, J.P. Surgeon H.W. Mahon, J.P. Your obedient servnßl, W.H.B. Howick, 16th May, 1848.
