The brigantine Nightingale arrived from Nelson yesterday, having recently reached that port from Melbourne.

The s.s. Waipara arrived yesterday from Westport. She spoke the ship Cartvale, from London, at the Heads, with immigrants. The latter reports all well on board. She will most probably be in early this morning, having lost the tide yesterday afternoon. Theßradt Salvage Case.—Judge Cadwaladerhas awarded salvage to Captain Brady for having taken charge of the steamship Pennsylvania after the first and second officers had been lost. The Judge decided that the service rendered was clearly salvage service, and entitled the Captain to reward. He, however, blamed Captain Brady's subsequent conduct in retaining command of the ship at the request of the passengers, who, the Judge says, had no rights in the matter. This may be excellent law, but if so it is an instance where law and sense come into collision. In a trying moment the surviving officers of the Pennsylvania showed want of nerve and presence of mind. Had it not been for the prompt action of Captain Brady in taking command when the decks were left without an officer, and the ship abandoned to the fury of the storm, it is probable both ship and passengers might have gone to the bottom. When the danger was passed the third officer wished to resume command, but the passengers requested Captain Brady to bring the ship into port, as they had no confidence in the ship's officer. Their lives were at stake, which they naturally supposed gave them some interest and right in the selection of a captain. Judge Cadwalader, however, decides against this theory. The law says the lives of people who go to sea in ships are of no consequence. Shipowners must be protected from salvage claims at whatever risk to the lives of mere passengers. —New York Herald , July 22.
