BY TELEGRAPH.

AUCKLAND. JnneS.—Flirt, from Timaru ; Mary Melville, from ' Lyttelton ; Efße Mickley, from Napier. June S. —Sailed, 2.15 p.m., City of Adelaide, with the San Francisco mails, for Kamlavau, twentyfive saloon, and fourteen steerage passengers. MANUKAU. June S.—Sailed: Wellington,for Taranaki. NEW PLYMOUTH. June 8. —Sailed : Wellington, s.s., for Nelson. POET CHALMERS. June B.—Sailed: Ladybird, for Lyttelton, at noon ; Albion, for Lyttelton, at -1 p.m.; Tararua, for Bluff, at 4 p.m. The Dallam Tower sails for London on Saturday. BLUFF. June 8. —Sailed, 4.30 pm. : Tararua, for Melbourne, with Suez mails of June. The handsome brigantine Seabird was signalled early yesterday morning, and shortly before dusk she came uj> the channel under the guidance of Pilot Holmes, and brought up just off the end of the wharf. She brings a cargo of timber from the West Coast, and on discharge will load pipes for Hokitika. Tiie Seabird is a largo and finely-built brigantine of 150 tons register, commanded by Captain Grath, and was formerly employed in the Hobarton and Melbourne trade, and has lately been one of the regular liners between Melbourne and the West Coast. More of the wreck of the barque Earl of Southesk is turning up than was at first supposed would be the case. Considerably above the price given has already been recovered, with all expenses paid, and there seems every likelihood of several valuable spars being yet obtained. The vessel has completely broken up, but some of the sjiars are now visible above the ’water, being fastened to the rocks by the rigging probably. None of the anchors has yet been found, nor has the coal she had on board been cast up in any quantity. The lifeboat, which, when our reporter visited the scene on the afternoon of the day on which the vessel was wrecked, was high and dry on the rocks, has since been smashed to pieces on the rocks by the southerly swell, and the longboat has also suffered seriously Complete though ihe break-up is, the speculation will prove amply remunerative to the purchaser. The steamer Rangatira left the wharf last night for the East Coast, with a very larger* cargo, consisting of goods transhipped from the Tarariia and English ships and the Company's other steamers, as well as free and duty paid produce. The Yen. Archdeacon Williams was a passenger by her. The s.s. Napier sailed last night for Foxton, and the Stormbird later on for Wanganui. ■ The p.s. Manawatu started on her return trip to Wanganui yesterday evening. The schooner Fiery Cross has commenced taking In her cargo of piles, which once more made their appearance on the wharf on the strange vehicles employed for their conveyance. The brigantine Enterprise from Picton -brings a large cargo of timber. The Cynthia which left here some time back for Hokitika with pipes, put in an appearance in harbor again yesterday with a return load of timber. She will make another trip to Hokitika if the freight is not snapped tip beforehand. The steamer Murray is on the now favored berth for Hokitika, and drevrup alongside the breastwork yesterday to load pipes. The p.s, Luna, after taking the MacCallum More in tow outwards as she brought her inwards, proceeded on her way to Manukau, whither she takes Sir George Arney. It is understood that she will shortly return with his Excellency the Governor. A telegram posted at the Government Buildings yesterday evening, notifies that the s.s. Ladybird left Dunedin at noon yesterday with the Suez mails for : Canterbury and Wellington. The Ladybird will thus be in port before the Albion. The City of Adelaide took her final departure from New Zealand ports at 2.15 p.m. yesterday, leaving Auckland harbor at that hour for Kandavau. The ship ’McCallum More hauled off from the wharf early yesterday morning, and brought up off the end of the wharf, mooring for the time to the coal-hulk. About one o’clock the Luna left her berth under easy steam, and a hawser having been fastened to theMcCallum More, she was towed over to the outer anchorage, whence she will take her final departure to-day if the wind holds fair. Dr. Donaldson, late surgeon-superintendent of the ship Golden Sea, Is a passenger by her to Newcastle. Almost as soon as the McCallum More had left the berth she has occupied now for some five weeks and more, the newly arrived ship Invcrnllan was getting ready to take it. A good deal of difference was experienced in hauling a 1000 ton ship and an 800 ton ship alongside, and the fnvcrallan was safely berthed in a comparatively short time. She will now bo able to £et much more speedy discharge than was possible out in the stream. The s.s. Alrato Is once more heard of by telegraph, this time on the New Zealand coast. After three uncu’ccessful attempts to get away from English waters, she at last succeeded, and has made a fast run of fiftynine days to Port Chalmers, though tills cannot compare with the Mongol’s time when she first appeared on this coast. At Port Cha!. rners she Is now in quarantine, owing to disease among the immigrants, particulars of which are given elsewhere. After clearing out from that port, she will proceed to Lytteiton, but it is not likely we shall see her in Port Nicholson, The Atrato, by her numerous misadventures, has attracted a kind of attention she would not otherwise have got, and we shall look anxiously for the next Otago files with the account of her voyage. The Neva for Timaru, and the lie-suit for Wellington, sailed from Newcastle on the 20th May.

The Boigato, from a New Zealand port, arrived at Adelaide on the 13th of May, The ship Northampton Ims made a very rapid run of seventy-three days from Txmdon to Lyttelton, fchc left London docks on Alarch 18, the same day on which the ship Waikato sailed, and finally took her departure from Gravesend on the 21st. She had on board when she weighed anchor 370 immigrants, and was only five days out when sickness broke out amongst them, -the particulars of which will be found in another column. The ship now lies in quarantine in Lyttelton harbor. Seeing that the Northampton left London on Alarch 18. there is every reason to expect that the new and large ship A\ aikato, from London for this port and Auckland, will bo shortly signalled. She left on the same day as the N orthampton. and from all descriptions of her lines and rig, should be able, if she has met with even fair weather, to follow close on the heels of the Northampton. Seventy-three days, however, is a very fast passage, and it is very unlucky that so swift ft run has met with such a detention at the end. Captain Kkenedy.— The Thames Advertiser evidently thinks that two errors correct one mistake. In its issue of the 14th instant,, it says:— A few days ago wo gave insertion to a paragraph from the Taranaki Hews to the effect that Captain Kennedy, late of the steamship Paterson, had been appointed’“pilot to Tauranga harbor. This is an error. It should have been that Captain Kennedy, late of the schooner Julius Vogel, has been appointed pilot to Tauranga harbor.” Captain Kennedy will accept the post or Pilot and Harbor Alaster at this port, if the Government offer a salary sufficient to live on. No appointment has yet been made.—Poverty Bay otundara. Health of Seamen'.— Tho relative healthiness of the Uoval as compared with the Merchant Navy, is as three to one. The return of the Admiralty for ISi2 shows a death-rate of B's per 1000; those of the Board of Trade for the merchant marine are rarely, if ever, under 23 per 1000. At this rate, a seaman s life in the Koval Navy is one of the healthiest occupations known, but in the other service it is one of the worst. Steam Tuo fou Waitaka.— ln our coluras of the 27th ultimo, we noticed the granting of a subsidy to the enterprising Arm of Messrs. Webster Brothers for a steam tug for the Waitara Xtiver. Tins lias been of the greatest necessity for many years, and nowowing to the construction of the railway and the opening up of the country by the Alountain Road—a very largo increase in shipping may reasonably be expected. We have now the pleasure of reporting that a steam tug is being built in Auckland for the above named lirm, combining light draught with good power suitable for the navigation of Ureum, 'longoporutu, and Mokan. The hull is being constructed by the builders of the Bella, which has proved herself of the greatest service to the port of Napier. Ihe plans specification, and supervision of her construction are in the hands of Air. J. Loddor, manager and engineer of the Auckland Steam Packet Company, this being of itself a sufficient guarantee that a firstclass vessel will be turned out. The contractors are bound under a bond to have the steamer completed by the end of .Inly, when she will steam round the North Cape to her future home laranafa Herald. , Disobeying Orders at Sea,— Nine sailors, belonging to the ship Windsor Castle, were charged at tho D Williamstown Police Court yesterday with disobeying the commands of the officers of that vessel. It seems that on the 27th April last, a sailor named Ease dropped his open sheath-knife from aloft, and on being spoken to for his carelessness he became very insolent, for which he was placed in irons. The nine sailors then refused to do any work at all until ho was released, which occured on the next day, ho having apologised. While the men were thus refusing to work, the necessary duty of navigation was performed by the officers, boys and the passengers, one of the latter paying Captain Harrison a great compliment for his kindness to the crew on the voyage. The captain said seven of the men had behaved themselves very well after the occurrence, and these were let off with only a week’s imprisonment each, white the two ringleaders were sentenced to six weeks’imprisonment each.— Alolbourne A<jc, May 23. Adventurer Aliners in Distress, —The Jeddah, on her voyage down from Hong Kong, approached Bowen Island, Queensland, on the 23rd April, As the vessel neared the place those on board were surprised by the sudden appearance of rockets followed by brilliant blue lights; and it was at once concluded that this beautiful though somewhat startling exhibition portended some ship in want of assistance. The steamer was according!v stopped, and shortly afterwards a boat, with a light and several men came alongside. The boat belonged to the schooner Black Hawk, of Alelbourne, 44 tons register, which had left Port Darwin on the 10th March, for the Endeavor, with upwards of sixty souls on board, then fourty-four days out, and were said to be literally starving. _ Eight of their number, named Robert Cameron, Patrick Lynch, W. Bolton, Matthew Eitchie, "William Symons, Henry Symons, Edward Walker, and Frank (a Belgian) had- landed on Bird Foint, on the 22nd April, in the hope of rcaclting their destination (the Palmer diggings) on foot. They were well armed, and had been supplied with as much provisions as could bo spared. To relieve the schooner was an act of humane necessity, so it was decided to take iter fifty passengers on to the Endeavor, after supplying her with provisions to enable her crow to prosecute her voyage. Amongst the passengers was one digger who had been speared at Cairo Grenville whilst looking for food. He was badly wounded in the side, hut is progressing favorably. The Natives there were said to be very hostile.
