McMeckan and Blackwood's fine steamer Albion, Captain Underwood, arrived shortly before 9 o'clock yesterday morning from Lyttelton after a splendid run of 15} hours. She cleared Port Philip Heads at 0 p.m. on the 10th inst., and arrived at The Bluff at 6 a.m. on the 15th, after a very smart run across of 4 days 7 hours. The third day after leaving Melbourne, whilst the vessel was under canvas, she was struck by a heavy pufifof wind, which at the time was abeam. The foretopsail hail fortunately just previously been got in, and the men had onlv regained the deck, the jib, alone being set, when the force of the squall on the jib carried away the fnretopmast, which went close by the foretopraast. head. The ' topmast came down on deck, fortunately without injuring any person. The topsail and the yard were saved, and the jibstay was soon made fast to the foremast head. The remainder of the voyage to New Zealand was made without accident. The Albion left The Bluff for Port Chalmers on the 15th at 4.30 p.m., and arrived at 4 next morning ; remained at Port Chalmers twelve hours, leaving at 4 p.m. on the 16th for Lyttelton, where she arrived on the following morning at 11 a.m., after an excellent run of 16 hours. Leftfor Wellington at 5.30 p.m. the same day,; arriving in harbor as above. She sailed for Nelson, West Coast, and Melbourne last evening.

The steamer Easby completed the discharge of her coal into the hulk India yesterday, and will sail for Newcastle to-day at noon.

The Maori's Trip. Round thb Middle Island. —The Harbor Company's steamer Maori, Captain Malcolm, completed her second trip round the island yesterday, when she arrived at Port Chalmers at 3 p.m. She commenced the trip at 5.15 p.m. on the Ist inst. Pushed on south, and arrived at The Blnff at 8.30 a.m. on the 2nd ; and, after landing some cargo and passengers, headed out at 7 p.m.. but the weather being very threatening, she anchored for the night off the Pilot Station. Put to sea next morning soon after daylight, and steamed through the strait against a strong S.W. breeze, passing the Solander at 11 a.m.; made for Dusky Sonnd, and entered it at 5 p.m., coming to an anchor in Dark Cove. Lay there until next morning, and then at 4 o'clock weighed and steamed through the northern entrance" of the Dusky, wind strong S.W. and heavy sea. - Coasted along to Milford Sound, fetching It, and anchoring. in Freshwater Basin at 5 p.m. on the 4th.. This was smart work for three days. She kept to her anchor at Milford Sound until 4 p.m. next day, then put to sea, and arrived off Martin's Bay at 8 a.m.; but, owing to the heavy sea on she could not communicate with the shore, and so headed away north for Big Bay, reached it in a couple of hours, and landed Mr. Williamson, ono ef the settlers. So far tho Maori had encountered wretched weather on the const; a gale and half a gale from W.S.W. blowing all the time, with a heavy sea running. On Tuesday, the sth, the weather inclined to moderate somewhat, and the smart little steamer got through a deal of work. She left Big Bay at 10 am., passed Cascade Point at noon, and brought up in Jackson's Bay at 2.30 p.m. Remained there three hours, and then away for Hokitika. Passed Open Bay Island and the Haast at 7 p.m., Okarito during the night; and, with fine weather attending her. reached Hokitika roadstead early next morning, and crossed tho bar at 0.30 a.m. Disembarked passengers and cargo, and went out again at 8 p.m., made for tho Grey under easy steam, and came to olf that bar for the night ; crossed it at 10 a.m, tho next day, tho Bth. Landed passengers and cargo, shipped 100 tons of coal, and made another start, ro-crosslng the bar, which was shallow and in bad condition, at 10.30 a.m. From tho Groy sho proceeded to Westport, and reached it at 8 p.m. tho same day, after waiting three hours for tide to servo. Left again at 11 a.m. on the Otb, passed Rock's Point at 0 p.m., and reached Nelson at 0 a,m. on the 11th; continued her course at 10.30

a.m., arrived at Picton at 7 p.m., made a touch-and-go visit of it, staying but an hour and then went on for Lyttelton, which was reached at 4 p.m. on the 12th. Light variable winds and fine moderate weather were experienced on tho coast from Jackson's Bay, the wind hanging to westward on the whole, whilst she was oh the West Coast. Ihe Maori lay at.Lyttelton until 2.30 ,P™. onthe^ 13th. then left with a. strong nor'-easter behind her and heavy sea; passed' Akaroa:Heads at dusk, and according to instructions received, Oamaru, where a quantity of wool was waiting for her. .Was abreast of the place at 8 a.m. but the heavy sea running orohibited any attempt at communication, so she kept on her course and reached the port at 3 p.m., and went alongside, the ship Nelson to receive transhipments for the Coast. ihe Maori brought back 100 tons of coal and a quantity of general cargo and twenty-flvo passengers. The Maori has ably sustained her reputation by coasting the island and calling at so many places in the short period of an hour or two less than thirteen days. It was a smart performance indeed.— Otago Daily Timet, January 15. ... Wreck in the PACinc-Tho Fiji Times of December 12 reports:-" By the Daphne, «chopner, which arrived in harbor yesterday from the labor grounds, with a full complement of passengers, we learn that the American brigantine Hallie Jackson, Captain Fuller, has been totally wrecked in a hurricane with the loss of one life. The Hallie Jackson had eightysix Solomon Islanders on board at the time of the wreck, and was bound to this port. Mr. St John, the owner of the wrecked vessel, came up in the Daphne, and has kindly furnished us with the following report:—' The American brigantine Hallie Jacksonf H. S. Fuller, master, having eighty-six Solomon Islanders on board, was lost at Cape Lisburne, Island of Santo, on the 12th November ast during a hurricane blowing from the N.W. Wlen tho vessel was in the breakers one of the crew (Win. Wilson) was washed overboard, and drowned before assistance could be rendered. The vessel was thrown several yards above high water level among large boulders. The masts remaining, their great weight so injured the keel as to make the vessel a total loss. Our sincere thanks are due to Captain John McDonald, of the Daphne, for his kind assistance, and by his taking the passon;ors, labor, crew, and trade saved, on to Havannah Harbor, arriving there on tho 24th of November I succeeded in chartering a schooner and a cutter, which sailed on the 25th, in charge of Captain Fuller and the first officer, to recover from the wreck what had been saved, and to break up the vessel for ths copper, &c. A- portion of her labor was re-engaged by Captain McDonald, the balance was placed in the care of Mr. B. B. Hebblewhite, merchant of Havannah Harbor, to await their passage to Fiji.—S. A. St. John, owner of the Hallie Jackson.'" . ... i » .i. ' >• Ship Burnbd at Sea.—"An incident of tho sea, reports the S. A. Register of the 24th Dec, "is described in the log of the ship City of Benares, from London, which fell in with a burning craft on October 24 in 6deg. N. lat. 23deg. W. lon. At eight o'clock the previous evening the craft was first descried, but the wind was light. She was seen to have been a brigantine by the remnants of the gear hanging about her. There were no people near, nor any evidenco of name "or nationality; but from the debris of the hold the conclusion drawn was that she had been an American craft of about 200 tons, laden with notions. The chief officer wns sent to inspect the vessel, as the weather was quite calm, but the work of destruction had so far proceeded, that occasionally a roll of the sea lapped over the bulwarks. Anchors and cables, with lots of valuable gear, might have been salved had time allowed, but as soon as the breeze freshened the craft was let alone, and soon after a huge volume of steam rose from about her position, consequently it was supposed that the burning wreck had foundered. A good look-out was kept for the crew, but Captain McDonald was of opinion that they had been rescued by some passing vessel." Wreckage at Sea.—A ship's boat, bottom-up, was passed at sea on the 30th of November by the Dutch barque Regina Maris, which has just arrived in Hobson's Bay from the Baltic. The boat was seen in lat. 44dej. 25sec. S., and lon. 33deg. 47sec. E., and is described as being varnished, not painted. A quantity of planking belonging to a ship was also seen in tho same locality.
