A few days a?o, the American whale thip Orion, Captain Ray, entering the harbour in a crippled state. Jler master decided on ihippin? the oil to England, but the authorities are compelling him to land it for gauging, instead of placing it at once on board the Cornelia or Woodstock. The captain came for shelter nnd protection, and an advantage is taken of his position which, to say the least, is ungenerous and unbecoming. A few months back, the American ship William C. Nye, was permitted to tranship some oil into a vessel without touching the shore. Why is not the same privilege permitted in this case ? We trust that these remarks may have the effect of producing an alteration. We should place every facility within reach of foreigners seeking our port, more especially when entering the harbour in the plight of the Orion, Wellington Independent, March 16. The Orion whalf r arrived ia port (at Wellington) on Saturday having sustained considerable damage at sea. On the 25th ult., when about five degrees from land, •ho encountered a very heavy gale in which she carried away her fore and main topmast, {sprung her fore yard and foremast head, and sprung a leak which it required all the exertioni of the crew to keep under. Having rigged jury masts in the place of those carried away she bore up for this port, making at the time of her arrival about three feet an hour. A survey hag been held ; and it has been found necessary that the cargo should be discharged to allow of a more complete examination. The Orion has on board 14.00 barrels sperm oil.— Spectator, March 0. Important to op Vessels.— We (Wei* lington Spectator,) have been favoured by Mr. Heb* erley, master of the Mary Ann, with the following bearings of a half-tide rock lying in the track of vessles passing through Cook's Straits. Prom Cape Koamarro SE.by E , distant seven miles ; Brothers S. distant six miles ; white mark in a neck between Cape Koamarro and Wellington Head N E., distant seven snilci. This rock, which appears like a boat has never yet been laid down in any chart of Cook's Strait.
