Serious Collision off Dunoeness. This locality, within but a few miles of the spot where the ill-fated Northfleet was run down, was again, early on the 28th July, the scene of a collision which caused considerable loss of life. The colliding vessels were the Hankow, a • steamer of 2334 tons gross, and the Millbanke, a steamer of 843 tons register. The former was bound from London to Penang, and tho latter to Sunderland, from Carthagena. The Hankow struck the Millbanke amidships, cutting her half in two. Twelve of the Millbanke's crew, with the second mate and chief engineer, managed to get on board the Hankow, and four more of the crew were picked up by one of the Hankow’s boats. ■ The remaining nine of tho crew, the captain and his wife, tho drat mate and ids wife, and the third mate—fourteen in all, were drowned. The Hankow's stem was smashed in, and she was simply kept afloat by the fact of her being provided with a collision bulkhead. According to the statement of the second mate of the Millbanke, the Hankow's lights were seen about twelve minutes before the collision took place, but there seems to have been some mismanagement in her steering, as the Millbanke llrst starboarded, and then had to port Kef helm in the attempt to. avoid her. Tho Millbanke sank in about a minute or a minute and a halt after the collision, and those only of tho crew who were on deck were saved. Mrs. Smith, the wife of the captain of the Millbanke, is stated to have been the last member of the celebrated Bligh family—of Bounty and New South AYales fame.

He pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined £2O, in default two months’ imprisonment. The money was paid.—Melbourne Daily Telegraph, September 19. Arrival of the On EC A. —The American barque Oneca, J. B, Hcnrlqae. arrived at the port yesterday. She is from New York, and brings a full cargo of miscellaneous goods, of which one-third only is consigned to this market, the remainder being about equally divided between Nelson and Wellington. The Oneca la on her second visit to. New Zealand, having mode a voyage to-this .port about eight years ago.

Thence to the meridian of Greenwich, which ■ was crossed in lat. 38.62 B, on the 9th, August, strong S. and S.E, weather was experienced. On tho 2nd August it blew a tremendously heavy gale from S.E., and compelled the barque to heave to, and she lay by the wind for two days, part of tho time under, bare poles, Tho gale was followed by the steady Westerlies, which continued to tho meridian of Desolation Island, and gave place to variable winds—northerly prevailing—that held uatil the Oneca was abreast of Tasmania, on tho 16th Inst. Thence she met with' nothing but easterly weather until tho Snares wore sighted on the 25th Inst. One vessel was signalled during the passage, the barque D. S. Carlton, on tho 6th June, hit. 8.11 N., long. 27.30 W. She was thirtyfour days out from New. York, and was hound to Melbourne.
