NELSON. ... , September 21. —Sailed. 2 p.m.: -Wellington, for PictonPOET CHALMERS. September 21.-Sailed: Hindustan, ship, for San F left at 2 p.m. for Lyttelton, but could not take the bar. LYTTELTON. , . , September 21.-Arrived: The Especulator, from San Francisco, with sleepers. The Otago sailed for Wellington at six o clock. . The schooner Hannah Barrett, which sailed a few cKvs since for Flaxbourne, put back on Sunday night. The s.s. Napier was, according to latest advices yesterday, bar bound at Foxton. . . f The a s Otago may be expected to arrive in port eariy to the forenoon. She left Lyttelton last evening at six o’clock, and the weather seems settled. The Harbor op Kaipara.—Capt. Stewart, of the brig Craig Ellachie, has sent to the Canterbury Press a long list of complaints against the harbor arrangements of Kaipara. He says on his last visit there he was charged Sd. per ton port dues instead of 2d., and this for nothing. He alluded to the fact of there being no leading beacon into the harbor, and asserts that a green patch laid down as a leading mark at the entrance is seldom visible, being nearly covered with sand. Among the other defects complained of are the difficulty of obtaining a pilot, the Wetched wharf accommodation, the insecurity of the mooring piles, and the insufficient ballasting resources: He concludes his list as followsA halfpenny per ton light dues is also charged, and there is not even an apology for a glimmer in the place. We believe that the Provincial Council Act passed last session will remedy some of these ills, and for the rest we imagine there is nothing for it but to wait till the completion of the Auckland and Kaipara railway renders an advanced condition of affairs compulsory. LOSSES AND DANGERS AT SEA. (From the GJasfiom Herald.) AIIAN DON'MI'NT OF THE I’.M’.QUI’. SILVER CI.OU V. --A telegram from Hew York reports the abandonment at sea of the barque Silver Cloud, whmh left Portland (Oregon) with a full cargo of gram for Queenstown for orders. It is therefore presumed that the crew have reached [an American port. The Silver Cloud was a barque of 575 tons, bm.t at Sunderland by Liddall in HCS, and owned by Mr. T Carr London. She was classed for ton years, aiid hereto has therefore just expired. A Sunken Wreck.—The Cunard steamer Siberia arrived from Liverpool at Boston, reports having struck what was thought to be a sunken • wreck shortly after leaving The shock to the steamer in consequence of staking was very severe, and, upon examination at Boston; it was found that one of the blades of her propeller had been carried away, but beyond this it was thought she had not sustained injury. It was, however, decided to lift her stem out of the water, and if it was found that the.strain.had affected the rudder-post she could be placed in dry dock. Supposed Loss or the Melbourne.-Under-writers have now almost given up hope of the Liverpool ship Melbourne, from Calcutta to Dundee, with a cargo of jute. She left the Hooghly on the 19th January, and is therefore 173 days at sea. The Melbourne—a converted steamer—is a very strong and well-built ship. She is the property of Messrs. Bates and Son, Liverpool. Narrow Escape op the s.s. Nevada.—The Guion steamer Nevada, Captain Price, had a very narrow escape from loss on her last passage from New York. She left New York on the 30th June, and on the sth July, when off the Banks of Newfoundland, she ran into an iceberg, and sustained damages to her bow.and forecastle from the detatclied falling pieces of the iceberg. She backed off safely, and came on without further mishap. Uncommon as is the fact of full-powered steamers not going down after collision with ice, this is the second case which has happened within two weeks, the other being that of the State of Louisiana.
