Shaw, Savill, and Co.'s fine ship Soukar, Captain Adams, which arrived off the port on Tuesday forenoon, was towed into harbor yesterday afternoon by the s.s, Phcebe. She is a ship of 1304 tons, and is evidently capable of travelling fast, if favored with good winds. We have obtained the master’s report of the voyage, but it is known that the ship sailed from London on the 22nd of August last. Her passage from land to land occupied 07 days. The Soukar brings 422 passengers of all ages, all of whom are for this province. Five infants died on the voyage, chiefly from diarheea. No contagious or serious disease appeared at any time during the passage. The vessel has arrived in remarkably good order. In consequence of the holiday-making this week, and the difficulty of obtaining drays, &c., it is probable the immigrants will not be landed before Saturday.

A brigantine, supposed to be the Sea Bird, from Westport, anchored off the wharf late last evening. The Manawatu had not put in an appearance from Flaxbourne up to a late hour last night. The ship Howrah, Captain Clreeves, entered at the Customs yesterday. The cutter Dido sailed for Walrau yesterday, with a cargo of iron rails. The ship Star of India has commenced-■.*£’ _ v She will get to sea about Monday . 11 r >oya ° e Tfn T*-rfatt, Captain Benner, is The schooner ma terial from the barque r leave for Wanganui to-day. foe Nelson, Taranaki, and Manukau. The steamer Stormbird, Captain Linklator, arrived «t four o'clock yesterday afternoon from Wanganui, after a passage of twelve hours. Although strong N.W. winds prerailed in Wellington yesterday, the BtorrabJrd experienced light airs and calms till arriving off Terawiti, where the wind increased to a strong breeze. There were a number of excursionists to the Wellington races on board. Wreck op the Glasgow steamer Faibiiolm.— Five Lives Lost. —During the dense fog which prevailed on Saturday, the steamer Fairholm, bound for Limerick from Glasgow, with a cargo of coals, struck on a reef of rocks on the coast of Tory Island, and sank in a few minutes in four fathoms of water. The master, mate, two engineers,, and one of the firemen, who had all probably been below at the time, were drowned. Six of the crew were saved. The survivors were hospitably entertained by the Islanders, who had them conveyed in a boat to Falcarragh, where they had new clothing supplied to them by Mr. Geo. P. Brady, who also gave each man sufficient money to take him to Glasgow. Mr. Brady and Mr. John McGlnley, agents for Lloyd’s, left for the island on Sunday, to take charge of the wreck. The weather on Saturday had been remarkably fine during the early part of the day; but a dense fog gathered suddenly towards evening, and the ill-fated steamer being overtaken by it, struck on the north side of the island. The Fairholm belonged to Glasgow, and was owned by Hugh McPhaif and Co., 42 Broomielaw, The vessel carried eleven of a crew, and the five men drowned were—'Peter Gibson, the master, and John McPherson, the mate, both of whom held captains' certificates; John Thompson, chief engineer; Thomas Paterson, second engineer : and the stoker, whose name is not known in Glasgow. The captain had „ been at sea for upwards of forty years, and had previously acted as master of sailing-vessels, and also of steamers. He was considered a very careful man, and under his charge the ship had acquired a name for the extraordinary rapidity of its passages to Limerick, .and for being a safe coaster. The Fairholm was built at Pointbouse, by Messrs. A. and J. Tnglls, in 1871, specially for the Limerick trade, and had a carrying capacity of 250 tons ; the engines were of forty horsepower, and it was classed A9O at Lloyds. —Glamovi Herald, August 29.
