Loss of the Brig "Sisters." — By the Julia, which arrived yesterday from the East Coast, intelligence has been received of the total loss of the brig Sisters, Captain Clark, a vessel well known to us here, having been for the last ten or eleven years trading between Auckland, the Southern Ports of New Zealand, and Ilobart Town. The Sisters sailed from Wellington on the 11th March for the East Coast to load with wheat and pork for the Melbourne market, and, having callfd at one or two places on the Const, arrived at Poverty Bay early in April. After taking on board about 700 bushels of wheat and some pork there, she got under way on the 9th of April (Good Friday), to proceed further towards the East Cape, when a southerly gule set in, and while vainly trying to work out to sea, sbe was driven on the rocks at Turanganui. She broke up Bnd went to pieces almost immediately — three hours after she struck there was not a vestige of her to be seen ; a day or two after, when the gale had subsided, a few of ber spars were found driven on 6uore. All hands were saved. Captain Clark and his crew remained about eight days at Poverty Bay, when an oppoi (unity offered and they proceeded to Wellington in the Dauntless, schooner. We understand that the Sisters was insured at Ilobart Town. The Julia also brings intelligence of the swamping of the schooner Pilot, of Waipiro, belonging to native owners, and the loss of five of her crew, off Warapaunga, about 50 miles this side of Poverty Bay. It was blowing hard at the time ; she was running with ber mainsail and staysail set, and her hatches off, when a heavy sea struck her and hove her on her beam ends, and sbe filled and went down immediately. Only ono out of six Maories on boaid was saved — it was only by great exertion bo reached the shore. She had nearly 700 bushels of wheat belonging to the natives, with which they were bound to the Auckland market. Capt. Bristow states that very bad weather has been experienced on the coast within the last few weeks — stiong gales from the south-east blowing in quick sucoession. The Julia was oulside near Hicks's Bay during the gale in which the Sisters was wrecked, and it was with much difficulty she weathered it out. The brig Nina, Capfain Phillips, for London dirrct, is now nearly a full ship, and will sail early next week. The barque William Hyde, Captain Applewhaite, has gone up the river to discharge, previous to being hovp down to undergo a thorough survey of the damages sustained when on shore in crossing the Hokianga bar. Tbe schooner Zillah, Captain Wing, for Melbourne, Las now all her cargo on board, and will sail on ber first vojage in the beginning of next week. The barque Daniel Webster, Captain Jones, is daily expected from Mahurangi, wbeie she has been loading timber, and will sail for Syduey a few days after her arrival.
