POE.T CHALMEE3, AVednesday Anr.rvED: Schooner Letitia, from Auckland.

The fine ship Avalanche, Captain Bishop, sailed for Lyttelton at one o'clock yesterday morning with- a light breeze from the N.W. She had on board about 500 bales of wool; the remainder of her cargo having been secured at Lyttelton. The ship Soukar. has now about 4SOO bales of wool on board, cargocoming to hand very slowly. It is doubtful whether she will bo a full ship by the end of the month, as, when this fine vessel is rilled to the hatches, she carries fully 7500 bales of dumped wool. All her cabins have been engaged, several applications for passages having had to be refused by her agents. The steamer Manawatu will sail this afternoon for Wanganui. ' " , . . The N.Z.S.S. Company's steamer Taranaki, Captain Lloyd, arrived shortly after noon yesterday, after a passage of twenty hours from Lyttelton. Fine weather, iwith head winds, has. been experienced since leaving Dunedin. The Taranaki leaves at two o'clock this afternoon for Picton, Nelson, Taranaki, and Manukau. '.'■■-, , The steamer Phoebe, Captain Worsp,' from the North, with the San Francisco mail, is expected to arrive in Wellington, harbor at about nine o'clock on Friday morning. The Phcebe. will sail southwards the same afternoon. A barque was signalled yesterday afternoon, but.as the wind was very light and from the northward, she ■ had not arrived up. to.a. late hour last night. She will doubtless prove to be the > barque Chaudiere, -which left Port Chalmers for Wellington on Friday The barque Esk, from. London, commenced discharging her cargo yesterday morning. -■••■ The schooner Eeward, Captain Westlake, arrived at two yesterday afternoon, from Napier, with a. few bales of wooL • She left Port Ahuriri on Saturday evening last, and on .Sunday night wa3 off Palliser, where the vessel was enveloped In a dense fog until yesterday. Captain Westlake reports sighting a large iron ship, the'Fitz Eehter, on Tuesday morning last. Loss of a Mas Overboard.—The barque Camille, Captain Brent, left Wellington on the 25th ultimo, and arrived in Newcastle on the Bth instant. When the barque was in : latitude 35'20 S., longitude 10051; E., a-light breeze from N.E., with fine pleasant weather prevailing, and the barque. going at the rate of four jnile3 an hour, Eichard Warren, AJB-, and Louis ; Stimpson were over-the side scraping her poop rail, the stage on which they were at work having been made last by. themselves to an unsafe -part of the guard rail. ' The men' had been previously cautioned, to be careful. A part of the guard rail.suddenly gave way, and the stage falling', the jerk threw the two men into the sea.", A-life buoy was immediately thrown to them, and the helm" put down, and ship hove-to. A boat.was, also got out in a few minutes, and Stimpson was picked up, but the unfortunate raah Warren had sunk and risen to the surface before the body was recovered, and he was then apparently dead.'. Within fifteen minutes from the tiine'of the accident he was brought back to the ship, when every possible means for restoring animation were used for upwards of three hours, bnt without success. There were no signs of life after the -body was first recovered. On the following day it was buried at sea.— Newcastle Pilot, February 9., ' Wrecks on Kino's Island.—A schedule of the wrecks„or.serious ..casualties to .vessels ~on .King's Island, or the neighboring reefs, has been compiled at the harbormaster's office, a digest of which will be found in another column. ''From this it appears that 22 vessels have come to grief on this'dangerous the large majority of which were J totally lost ' The list of lives lost is given as follows : —Neva (1853), 300; Rebecca (1843), 1; Catarique (1845), 4U: Brahmin (1854), 7: Maypo (1855), 3; British Admiral (1874),, 70; the- total number of livesloat amounting to no less. than 804;—Melbourne-' Argua. •.'■■<.-■." ■ The, Wreck of } the chasers .of the wreck of the barque Blencathra are likely to make a good thing of it, in so. far as the re-. covery of cargo is concerned The' schooner Secret,which arrived yesterday, brought, over a quantity: of drapery, canvas, hardware, &c, and |he reports from the wreck are exceedingly favorable." ' Cargo" is being landed from the barque along wire ropes reaching from her bows to the shore, and about GO tons-of goods, chiefly drapery, are now on the rocks'awaitlng transit by.,horse and: dray to the landing place at Currie Harbor, a distance of about a quarter of a mile. The goods recovered are very little damaged. There wa3 a heavy sea on .when the' Secret left, but the barque, although she swayed a little with the.swell, had not altered her position. The ketch ,Koyai Charlie, which was at Currie Harbor, had been deterred from loading up with cargo from the wreck of the British Admiral in consequence of the weather. The schooner Nowra had just arrived from Melbourne as the schooner Secret was on the point, of leaving.— Melbourne Argus, Feb; 23.

The master of the- schooner Alcandre, which arrived yesterday from Newcastle, reports that on the..2oth Inst., when off Hogan's Island, ho heard the sound of firing, as if from heavy guns. It la possible that the firing may have proceeded from H.M.B.S. Pearl, which was in the vicinity of Hogan's Group about that time.—Melbourne Argus, February 23. The Burning Coat Ship Foundling, or Liverpool, again seen.—The voyage of the ship Candahar from London to this port has been by no means devoid of Incident, tho most thrilling being that of her rnnning down the ship Kingsbridge in the English Channel, particulars of which haver already appeared. After refitting at Falmouth, she made a splendid run of 17 days to the equator, and on getting south she fell in with a burning ship, the same as that reported as having been seen by Captain Wagstaff, of the Loch Lomond, on January 4, in lat. 28 s 25' 3., and long. 29* 50' W. Captain McKenzio, of the Candahar, reports that on January 10, in lat. 30* S., and long. 29* 40' W., a vessel dismasted was.seen on the lee bow at daylight. At half-past 6 a.m. the Candahar came up, and on boarding she proved to be the Foundling, of Liverpool, with a cargo apparently of coals, bricks, and railway material, which had been on fire for some time, and was still burning. She was completely gutted, not a vestige of wood or gear remaining, and even the dead-eyes were burnt out of the bands. The only spars remaining were the mainyard hanging over the side, and the bowsprit standing. The capstan, windlass, &c, had fallen into the hold, which was free from water. She was drawing about Oft. water at. the time, and on her stern were the letters, "The Found— Llv—," the remainder of the name having been burnt out. Captain McKenzio remained for half an hour by the ship, but having no gun to put a shot through her, and there being a considerable quantity of gunpowder on board the Candahar, he did not care to run any risk by prolonging his stay in the vicinity of the burning vessel. Later on in the voyage, abont three days before arrival, one of the crew, while engaged in painting a portion of tho bulwarks, fell into the sea, the ship going pleasantly along at the time at seven-knot speed. A lifebuoy was quickly thrown to him and as rapidly secured, and a boat put off and picked him up, and before 20 minutes had elapsed from the time of his Immersion he was safe on board again, a wetter, if not a wiser, - man.—Melbourne Arittte, February 24.,
