Eighteen persons, whose names will be found elsewhere, have taken passage by this fine vessel. As she Is in excellent sailing trim, and well known to be a clipper, she Rill doubtless make an excellent run home. . • . , , The steamer Lyttelton, Captain Scott, arrived from the Wairau River yesterday with a cargo of wool, which she discharged, and sailed for Blenheim in the The Napier will leave for Foxton this afternoon.

The brigantine Sea Gull is now ballasting for Havelock, where she will ship a cargo of timber for D Wehear, by the arrival of the Kent from Stewart’s Island, that the Swatara put into Port William after leaving The Bluff, and. had the misfortune to run on the Ten-foot Eocks at the entrance of the harbor, but without sustaining any serious Injury.— Southland Nevis, January 30. . - , , , , Hearing that an attempt would be made to launch the stranded brigantine Emulous at 3 o clock on Thursday morning, a number of citiaens proceeded out to where the vessel lies for the purpose of rendering what assistance they could on the occasion. At a few minutes before 1 o’clock the foresail and the foretopsail were set, there being a light breeze from the N W.. and the blocks were knocked away, but the vessel did nob move an inch. Three screw jacks were brought to bear on the stern end of the carriage the vessel was resting on, and at 2,12, the tide then being full, the vessel began to move steadily down. The timbers strained and creaked a good deal, and after going about fifteen feet she came to a stop. Lanterns were brought into requisition and a thorough examination of the ways made, and Jt was found that the sliding carriage on which the vessel rested had supped on the south way, and brought her up completely jammed. Finding that it was impossible to move her the contractor wisely concluded to leave her, as before another attempt could be made to launch her the sea will have to drive her further up the beach,—Dunedin Evening Star, January 25, Exciting Scene in Dover. Bay.—During Monday afternoon and evening the greatest excitement has prevailed In Dover, in consequence of the presence of i three-masted ship in the bay with flames issuing from her stern. She proved to be the Jason, of Greenock, 1512 tons, Captain Jamieson, bound from London to Sydney, with a general cargo, and there were also eighteen passengers on board. The voyage from the Thames down Channel was a fine one -. but when off Dungcncss flames were discovered in that part of the vessel immediately underneath the chief cabin and it is thought that the vessel caught fire through the incandescent cinders from the stove having eaten their way through the flooring. The passengers, being much alarmed, were put on shore at Folkestone by one of the pilot cutters, and the vessel was towed Into Dover Bay by the London tugs Rescue and Suffolk. Upon nearing Dover the greatest difficulty was experienced in bringing her under the shelter of the Admiralty Pier, owing to the strong wind and a contrary tide ; but after considerable exertions on the part of the tugs, the Jasonwas towed into the Bay, where, In presence of 2000 or 3000 people, the local fire-engines were brought to play upon the flames. These burst at intervals from her stern, and the ship was frequently obscured by smoke; but when the engines of the Dondon, Chatham, and Dover and the South-Eastern gether with the town apparatus, had got »nto full swing on board of the tugs, which were brought Into position alongside the Jason, the Are waa got under to such an’extent that the ship, although severely damaged was still in a condition to bo ran ashore, and there is great probability that as the tide rises the greater portion of hor cargo will bo saved, and that the Jason herself, although seriously damaged, will not become a total wreck.
