From the * Sydney Herald,' we glean the following particulars relative to vessels connected with, or about to sail fur, this port : 11. M. steam sloop Torch, Lieutenant Commander Chiauno', bad been to Newcastle, where she coaled, and sailed on the sth in3tant to look after the crew of the Ninjrpo, of whose wreck we subjoin the following particulars from the " Moreton Bay Courier" of the 23rd ult.:

On Wednesday morning tome of the native blacks, from the vicinity of Bribie'l Island, arrived in Brisbnne, bringing with them a seaman named William Tough, second officer of the schooner Ningpoo, which had been wrecked upon Burns's Reef, in latitude 13 3ti S., about six weeks ago Tough had been severely beaten by the native* at Wide Bay. Hi* right arm was broken, and his head and face cut in several places. He was removed to the Brisbane hospital, and the following is his account of the wreck and Its consequences:—

«'The Ningpoo, three-masted schooner, Capt. Win, Billings, was bound from Hongkong to Melbourne, in ballast, having on board a Mr. Denty as a cabin passenger, a Chinese man and woman as steerage passengers, chief mate, second mate (Wm. Tough), carpenter, steward, four other Europeans, and a number of Chinese seamen.

" About six weeks ago, the vessel struck upon Burns's Reef, at night, in the latitude above mentioned, and somewhere about the longitude of New Caledonia. The vessel settled down on the reef, and the crew and passengers succeeded in getting on a neighbouring island called Ewen's Island, and In saving some rice and a few casks of water. Here thev remained for about three w?eks, when, having fitted up the only boat rhey had—a small vessel only 13 feet long—it was resolved that Mr. Denty, together with the second mate and a seaman named Alick, should make for Moreton Bay, and endeavour to send off assistance This they did, Mr. Denty acting as navigator. This gentleman was proceeding from Hongkong to Melbourne to visit a brother residing there. They left the captain, and the remainder of the passengers and crew—lß persons—on the island. They had prepared an extempore copper machine, and had begun to distil fresh water from fait; and as there were plenty of turtle and birds to be had, it was thought that they would lie able to hold out until assistance arrived.

" Mr. Denty 3teered for the coast, and at length made it in latitude 20-, near Wide Bay. All their fresh water being exhausted, they were anxious to land and procure a supply ; and as some blacks swam off to them with friendly professions, offering to show them where water could befhad, they pulled in—but had scarcely reached the shore, when a number of blacks seized the boat and dragged it up on the beach, and immediately attacked I lie unfortunate men with clubs, leaving them on the beach; wounded and insensible, and stripping them of everything they had on. When Tough recovered his consciousness, he found himself half in and half out of the water, with his arm broken, his head cut open, and other severe injuries on his person. The blacks were gone, and he contrived to crawl to a water hole and drink, and finding a pot that had belonged to the boat, he brought water to his insensible companions. He succeeded in recovering Mr. Denty first, but Alick was not restored to consciousness till next morning. They then proceeded along the beach southward, and after travelling for three days without food, fell in with some blacks, who gave them some shell-fish, and accompanied them three or four mile* further. They afterwards came up with a black called " Moysey," who took them to his ramp, gave them fish, and the jt'Xt morning offered to accompany them to Brisbane. The offer was accepted by Tough, but the other two declared themselves unable to goon, and remained at the camp. " Moysey travelled with him for two days, and then delivered him over to other blacks, who brought him on to Brisbane, Moysey returning, as he said, for the other two, and stating that he would have fires lighted along the beach to attract the notice of any persons who might be sent from Brisbane to bring up Mr Denty and the seaman, " The second mate is doing well in the hospital, tnd although he has suffered much hardship, is likely to be quite restored in a few days. He states that the other two, though very much cut and bruised, had no bines broken.

" The Customs boat left Brisbane on Thursday morning in search of the two men left at the black's camp—and two policemen on horseback, under the guidance of an aboriginal native, proceeded at the same time to search the scrubs northward of Brisbane, lest they should have come ou by themselves, and wandered out of their way''

The Torch may possibly have to return to Sydney prior to C'lning on to Auckland. The brig Sporting Lass, advertised for Auckland, had been withdrawn, and sailed for Melbourne on the 5 k
