The fine barque Helen S. Page, which arrived on Thursday night, is the property of our respected townsmen Messrs. R. Graham and J. Macky. She is a credit to our port, and we wish her enterprising owners much success; she arrived here in a manner different from any previous arrival from California, viz., clean and everything on board ship-shape. She has has had a fair run of 37 days from Honolulu, although having to contend with baffling head winds during the whole of the paasnge. Her run from San Francisco to Honolulu was one of the quickest yet made between these ports, having accomplished it in twelve days. We perceive by the following advertisement, from the Alta California of the 14th August, that we may in course of a few days expect another arrival from San Francisco, and have the pleasure of welcoming some of our old friends back to Auckland:— "For New Zealand, Honolulu, Tahiti and Auckland.— The fine new fast sailing British brigantine Packet, A. 1, 200 tons, will sail for the above ports on Monday, the 2nd Sept. next. Has very superior accommodations for cabin and steerage passengers." The brigantine Camilla, Cundell, arrived at San Francisco on the 13th August, after a tedious passage of 112 days. The schooner Flinders, 75 days from Sydney, arrived the same day. The barque Camilla, 500 tons, Captain Canney, was to sail from London for Wellington, Canterbury, and Auckland, on the 1st July. A ship (name not mentioned) was to sail from London for Auckland direct on the 10th August. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.— We are under obligations to Captain Church, of the British barque Helen S. Page, for an Alta California of the 15th inst.— lt is a beautiful double sheet, got out for the steamers Carolina and Colombus, and is a credit to the typograpical art in California. We are sorry to learn by this paper that the American brig Frolic, of Boston, C, H. Foucon, master, was wrecked on her voyage from China to San Francisco, on a reef about 60 miles above Fort Ross, on the night of the 26th July. The Frolic had on board a valuable cargo, and is an entire loss. Captain and crew saved; but vessel and cargo is estimated at $150,000, all lost. Also, "brig Marshall, from Malaga, with a cargo of wine and fruit, valued at 40,000 dollars, stranded on Sunday morning last in the neighbourhood of Bodego. Crew saved, but vessel will be probably a total loss." A full and complete list is given of all the vessels in port, at San Francisco, on the 15th inst., with the name tonnage and place of register of each. They may be classed as follows:— steamers, 5; barques, 188; brigs, 166, schooners, 101. Total, 634. Besides these, there were about 100 vessels at Benicia, Sacramento and Stockton, and a number of river steamers and sailing craft, not enumerated.—Polynesian, August the 4th [We also return our thanks to Captain Church for the courteous and gentlemanly manner in which he supplied us with his latest files of San Francisco and Honolulu papers.]

By the Alta California of the 10th inst., we see that the number of arrivals at San Francisco during the month of July was 161— of which six were steamen, 40 ships, 45 barques, and the remainder smaller craft. Of these 86 were from the United States, 18 from Australia, 9 from the Hawiian Islands, the remainder coastwise and other foreign countries.—Polynesian, August 12. Strike amongst the Sailors — A meeting was held by sailors belonging to vessels in port, yesterday afternoon, in the Plaza, for the purpose of taking measures to secure an advance of wages. The meeting was not very numerously attended. After transacting some little business having reference to the object in view, an adjournment was moved till this morning, when they are to meet again at Clarkes Point. The crowd dispersed with three cheers for "FreeTrade and Sailors' Rights." We understand that they demand 100 dollars per month. Hurrah for the Tars —The sailors still insist that they will have 100 dollars per month. At their meeting yesterday morning, at Clarkes Point, they taked resolutely about "no pay, no work." They say their demands must bs complied with, or not a stroke of work do the ship masters get out of them.— Pacific News, August 12. The yacht Wanderer, of Cowes, on a cruize, was at San Francisco, California, in March. This vessel is commanded by a Mr. Boyd, and mounts ten guns; she claims the privileges of a man-of-war from her belonging to the Royal Yacht Club. The Collector of the Customs has taken her claim under "avisement" as he calls it. Unless he finds her "all right" he'll seize her in a twinkling; for, although an excellent man he's a cute and fearless officer . The vessel is said to belong to, or to have come from, Sydney, and we have had so many queer arrivals from that suspicious quarter, that everything and person coming thence is eyed with suspicion.— Times Correspondent. Awiul Loss of Lira on Lakki Erie. —The Cimbr'ta steamer, w'noli arrived ot Liverpool from New York on Tuesday last, brought a linef account of a collision between two vessels, by which -.evend of her Majesty's troops belonging to"" the 23rd Fusiliers were di owned. We aie indebted to the U>iiiid Service Gazette for the following particulars :: — '• On Wednesday the Ist of May, three companies of thg reserve butnhon 23rd Fusiliers embarked at Montreal, on board the Karl Calhctrt and Cmnineroe steamers for Port Stanley, en route to London. Canada Wist, commanded of M.ijor Chester. No. 7 and part of No. 12 embaiked on boaid the Cathcart, and reached their destination in safely, The Commeice, with No 8, and remaining ponion of No. 12, proceeded through the canuli and Like Ontario, into Lake Erie, and ot the night of the 6 h of M-y ohe come into collision with the American steamer Di^patih, bound for Buf falo, near the Poit Muitland or Ctnada shore, 'illCommerce had but one light at the owst-head, and was mistaken for a schooner /.and preserved in crowing the GOurgft of the Dispatch, until collision wa* unutoiiJ able. She was i tin into ou the starbi ard bow, an rapidly filled and tank in fight fathoms water. The officers on board were Cap. F. J • Phillpott, Lvsut nanU Sir H. O It. Chamberlain, an I F. P. R. D-lme Radliff, and Assists it Surgeon Douglass Granihjim (who joined them at Pr^coU, whfie he had been employee. j for some time p.ut). and, we regret to say, lost hi-, lilon this occasion, in addition to 3 sergeants, 2 cor* poral*, 1 drammer, and 19 privates, 8 woven, and 4 chilJren, and from the opinion given by *ome ot the turvivnts, th<.se were saved, who clung to the wreck, by direction ol the commanding offiier (Capt. Phillpott), while those who jumped overboard lost their livt I*.1 *. The survivors were earned into Pwt Matland; having lost everything ; mny of them were almost in a state of nudity. The ofßceis' ,)late and m« r .s utensils were nearly all on board, and lost.— » Sydney Herald, Sept. 17. * The case of Capt. Morphew, of the Tippoo Siab reported in the Herald of Thursday last, is a very sad one, showing how easily a man of high intelligence, and hitherto irreproachible character (for Captain M. has a first-class certificase from the Nautical Board), may by one act of vice and folly ruin his prospects for life. The Tippoo Siab brought out a large number of Irish orphan girls ; the ship was in a satisfactory state, the officers got the usual gratuities for good conduct, and, on the representations of the Surgeon, the Captain obtained a special letter of commendation from the Immigration Agent. Whether any immoral conduct took place on board is not known; if it did, it was very carefully concealed. But soon after the girls were landed, the Captain seduced one of them from a respectable family where she had obtained a situation, and lived with her for a few weeks; and, as a matter of course, desertrd her when his ship was ready for sea. For the offence of "harbouring" a servant who was under a written engagement, Capt. Morphew was fined £20, but as he sailed after being served with a summons, and before the hearing of the case, he will probably never pay the fine. The consequences to him, however, will be much more serious than a mere pecuniary penalty. He will never be allowed to command a ship with emigrants on board again; and as the ship is adapted for that trade, and her owners are engaged in it, it is very possible he will be dismissed from his ship when he arrives in England, and have great difficulty in getting another, as the circumstances under which he is deprived of his command will be well known. Thus he will, by his indulgence in vice, have ruined the girl for whom we mus suppose he had some affection, and have thrown himself out of respectable and lucrative employment. It is a case which to masters of emigrant ships conveys a serious warning.— Sydney Herald, Sept. 21.
