Arrived ; -Phoebe, from the South; and the GoAhead. LYTTELTON, Monday. Arrived : Adeline Burke, from Newcastle, Sailed : Clematis, for Wellington, with 40 tons of flour, 17 ditto of potatoes, 50 sacks of grass seed, 43 sacks of beans, 3S sacks of peas, 80 sacks .of sharps, 29 sacks of bran, and 50 sacks of wheat; steamers Easby, for Wellington, at noon ; Star of the South, at noon, and the Taranaki, for the South, at 1.30 p.m. ; and the Brighton, for Dunedin, at two o’clock, p.m. PORT CHALMERS, Monday. Sailed : Albion, s.a., for Melbourne, via The Bluff. The steamer Easby, Captain Kennedy, left Lyttelton at 11.45 yesterday morning for Wellington. She may be expected to arrive about ten this morning, leaving for Sydney and Newcastle to-morrow. A large number of passengers are on board. As there appeared to be no donbt that the barque Edwin Bassett was one of the three vessels—one of which was lost—that were seen running down Blind Bay by the lighthouse keeper at Cape Farewell, during the equinoctial gale which swept across New Zealand during last month, it is so far satisfactory to state that Captain Williams yesterday received a telegram stating that the Edwin Bassett arrived at Newcastle on the sth instant. The three vessels spoken of are supposed to have been the Edwin Bassett, the American brigantine Oaseo, and the Melbourne schooner. , Melbourne, the latter of which is generally supposed to be the ill-fated craft. She arrived hero from Melbourne on February 27, with a quantity of powder and arms for the Colonial Government, and a large shipment of blasting powder for Lyttelton, for which port she left on March Ist. After leaving Lyttelton • for Australia she was doubtless endeavoring to stand through Cook Strait, when she was overtaken by the violent gale in Blind Bay. The Melbourne was a topsail schooner of 57 tons register, and commanded by Captain Radcliffe. The steamer Ladybird, Captain Andrew, arrived at one o’clock yesterday from Port Chalmers and Lyttelton. She left the latter port at 2.30 p.m. on Sunday, her protracted passage of 22J- hours being due to a strong N.E. gale, against which the vessel steamed from the Kalkouras. She will leave this afternoon for Picton. Nelson, Taranaki, and Manukau, with the outward San Francisco mail. The steamer Rangatira was placed on the hard yesterday, for the purpose of cleaning her hull. She will load and sail to-day for Napier and Poverty Bay. The steamer Manawatu left last evening for Wanganui, with a quantity of general merchandise and a few passengers. The steamer Napier, Butt, master, sailed at seven o’clock last evening for Foxton. The little steamer Ino is loading for New Plymouth. She will leave to-day. The brigantine Hannah Broomfield has discharged her cargo of kauri timber, and moved to the breastwork, where she will load railway material for Wanganui. Thence she proceeds to Kaipara, where she will take on board kauri for Wellington. The Prince Alfred, a vessel of 131 tons, sailed from Picton last Sunday with a cargo of timber, measuring about 100,000 feet, for Lyttelton. The Prince Alfred is commanded by Captain Bennet, who owns about one-half of the vessel He purposes opening np an intercolonial trade between several of the ports of New Zealand and ports in Tasmania and Australia. On his present voyage, alter taking the timber to Lyttelton, be will ship grain from that port to Auckland, and proceed thence to Tasmania, shipping fruit there for Auckland. He will then come down, on his second voyage, to Picton, and there again ship timber for South, whence he will take a shipment of grain, and proceed, as may seem desirable, to Auckland. or to ports in Australia or Tasmania, making another round by way of Picton, for the purpose of loading there with timber. —Marlborough Times, April 9. Portions of what in all probability is another lost vessel were fonnd on the beach between Kaikanuiand Allday Bay on Tuesday last. The first intimation of the discovery was wired yesterday morning to Captain Thomson by Captain Matheson, harbor-master of Kaikanui. The telegram stated that a sofa cushion, two beams of Oregon pine, one of them 15 feet long, the other 0 feet long, and a boat's chock, fitted for a gallows, had been picked up on the beach between Allday and Kaikanui. They had evidently not been long m the water. Upon the receipt of this intelligence Captain Thomson naturally associated the articles with the missing schooner Euphrosyne, and telegraphed back to Captain Matheson for advice as to ■whether the cushions were semicircular in shape, and covered with haircloth, such being the sort of cushions the Euphrosyne’s cabin contained. The reply to this message was received yesterday afternoon, and ran as follows No. Red material, dark fringe, 5J feet long. Id Inches wide." The cushion has been sent, or conveyed, by Captain Matheson to Oamaru. If the above articles did not belong to the Euphrosyne, of •what vessel did they constitute parts? Has another vessel gone to her long abiding place without leaving a recognisable trace behind her?-Otoffo Daily Times, April 9.
