The time-ball may be used to-day for rating chronometers. A chronometer true on Greenwich time would show 12 h, 30 m. when the ball drops. Any difference is error (plus or minus') of the chronometer. The steamer Napier. Captain Butt, from Wangamu, arrived at 7 o’clock yesterday morning, after a run of 111 hours. Fresh northerly wind prevailed on the West Coast, and the full force of yesterday’s gale was experienced when the little steamer rounded Cape Terawiti. The schooner Elibank Castle, for 'Wanganui, was spoken outside the bar. , The whole of the afore-the-mast hands of the barque Ardentlnny, from London, having deserted, a new crew has been shipped, and the barque will probably get away for Newcastle to-morrow. The steamer Manawatu will leave for Wanganui at 9 o’clock this morning. . , . The steamer Ladybird, Captain Andrew, arrived at 7 yesterday morning from Manukau, Taranaki, Nelson, and Picton, having left the latter port at 1 a.m. Fair weather characterised the voyage as far as Nelson, from whence strong N. and N.W. winds prevailed the wind in Cook Strait being especially severe. The Ladybird discharged her cargo for Wellington, coaled, shipped a few packages, and sailed for Lyttelton and Port Chalmers at 5 yesterday afternoon. The barque Anne Melhnlsh, Captain Chadwick, arrived early yesterday morning from Newcastle, after a prolonged passage of twenty days. Most unfavorable weather was experienced during the whole voyage. She brings a full cargo of coals consigned to her owner. Captain Williams. The steamer Wellington, Captain Carey, sailed for the North at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon, with the Suez mails and a large number of passengers. A new schooner named the Elibank Castle, built at Sydney to the order of Messrs. W. and G. Turnbull and Co., of this city, was spoken off the Wanganui baron Monday evening last by the steamer Napier. The schooner was bound to Wanganui, with a full general cargo. Wellington’s contribution to the outward San Francisco mail, which was despatched by the steamer Wellington yesterday, comprised 3029 letters, 2106 newspapers, and 28 book-parcels—in all, 5703 packets. The February mail was considerably heavier, consisting of 4630 letters, 2976 newspapers, and 73 bookparcels : total 7670 packets, showing a falling off on the mail Just despatched of 1916 parcels. The Albion, which sailed early this morning for Melbourne by way of the West Coast, had on board a small supplementary English mail, for transhipment to the Wellington at Nelson. These vessels will pro bably enter Nelson harbor on the same tide. The severe weather which prevailed during the whole of Monday night and yesterday did not prevent the friends of Captain and Mrs. Sharp and Mr. OUivier attending to witness their departure by the steamer Wellington, which sailed for the North at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Cheers and countercheers marked the vessel’s departure from the jetty, ** a speedy and pleasant voyage ” to the travellers being earnestly wished. Captain and Mrs. Sharp and Mr. OUivier proceed to England via San Francisco. The Girard Brothers were also passengers by the Wellington, having taken through tickets to San Francisco.

LOSS OF THE GOTHENBURG. (From the Otago Daily Times, March 14.) Farther particulars relative to the above lamentable •event are supplied to us by the Melbourne papers, from which it appears that the Gothenburg was wrecked, not on Flinder's Keef, but on the Great Barrier Reef, lat. 1017'SO 8., long. 148‘40 E. She was from Port Darwin, bound to Melbourne, and left the port of Palmerston on the 16th February, with 85 passengers, 38 of a crew, and 3000ozs. of gold. The place where the Gothenburg met her fate is considerably south of Flinders Reef, and close to Holborn Island, off Abbott's Bay. All went well with her until the 24th February, when, to quote the Argus , heavy gale set in, with rain. At 7 p.m., the vessel struck with such force that there was only two feet of water forward, and five fathoms astern. The captain had a quantity of empty casks brought aft and filled, and he then tried to back off the reef, but failed ; at high tide ho tried and failed again. The gale at this time* was increasing, and the sea was making the ship thump heavily. She commenced leaking about midnight, The water pat out the fires, and the boats were got ready for lowering—biscuits and water being placed in each. At 3 a.m. the weather had become worse, and the two port boats were lowered, but, failing to keep off the steamer’s side, the mate ordered tne boats to round to on the starboard side. The gale was so heavy that the rescued men say that they failed to regain the ship. They heard the captain callto them, but as two oars only were left, they were helpless, and drifted ashore. The next afternoon, they tried for hours to effect a landing, but failed until 9 p.m., when they got under the lee of the land, and sighted the Leicharat next morning and were rescued. On returning to the wreck they found that the steamer had slipped into deep water, and that the mainmast was Just awash.” As two versions of the catastrophe positively affirm that the Gothenburg was caught by a cyclone, we may infer that the statement made as to her striking the reef when under full sail and steam was Incorrect. The wreck was said to lie about fifty miles from the main land, and was submerged ‘,o the lower masthead. The surmises we hazarded about the foul weather that was met with by the barque Gloucester as she passed the Queensland coast on her way south, were not far out. Evidently the weather was the forerunner of the short but severe storm that swept the Queensland coast during the night of the 24th February.
