The departure of the Napier for Foxton has been nostnoned till this evening at 5 o clock. P AVe understand that Captain Williams b “ cb "‘ tered the barque Britomart at Newcastle. She left that port for here, with a cargo of coals, on the 11th will arrive here from the North this morning. She will sail for Southern portslat 3 p m. Messrs W and G. Turnbull and Co. s threemasted schooner May arrived at Hongkong on the 19th May. She Jto 22nd March. typhoon/ 1 ttie w-iatherlhrouglTout the run was unsettled. The May took on board at Hongkong a quantity of fancy Chinese goods, and left for Foo Chow on the 9th June, where she will fill up with tea for her owners. , , , , ■ . The steamer F.ingarooma took her departure for Nelson at 4 p.m. yesterday. . Messrs Johnston and Co. have received intelligence by the Suez mail, to the effect that the ship AVaimea was on the berth for AA'ellington, taking cargo and immigrants. She was expected to sail on the 29th of Ju -rhe schooner Aurora left this port on Sunday forenoon, but on proceeding outside the Heads found a strong S.E. wind blowing, with a heavy- sea. Captain Eomeril therefore deemed it advisable to return to port arriving here about 7 o clock last night. Reports the schooner F-üby anchored in Woraer Bay. The steamers Matau and Tax left the wharf together at 6.30 p.m. yesterday, the former for Foxton, and the latter for the Coast. They will probably have had a spin together as far as the Heads. Messrs. Beck and Tonks' barque Malay, Captain Hillman, arrived here yesterday afternoon from Newcastle, after a rather boisterous passage of 20 days She left Newcastle on the 11th instant, and for about 24 hours had moderate westerly wind, thence till making the land very heavy gales from N.E. to S.E. At one time during a strong easterly gale the vessel had to be hove-to for two days. Cape larewell was sighted on the 27th : had variable winds through the Strait. The Malay brings 480 tons coal. The New Zealand Shipping Company s fine clipper ship AVaikato, 1020 tons, AVorster, commander, took her departure from London for this port on the Cth June, and passed the Downs on the Bth. The company's boats seem to be well patronised as to both freight and passengers, for we learn that she is a full ship as regards cargo, and that she brings forty-nine statute adults. The following are the names of the passengers ;-Saloon: A. Shrewsbury, Emma Shrewsbury. Elsie Shrewsbury, Hugh Shrewsbury Eveline Shrewsbury, E. A. Rich, Agnes Rich Evelyn Rich, Ludlow Rffih, N. F.

The following is a condensed report of the wreck of the barque Coq Du Village, taken from the Napier T'Uyraph:- The Coq da Village made a protracted run from Newcastle of 24 days. She was 312 tons register, and was owned in Newcastle by Captain W. F, AVeatheriU and Messrs. John Reid and Co. She was partially insured, and was chartered by Mr. Vautier, of Napier, for the conveyance of coal, consisting of 442 tons. She was built at Quebec, of American pine, in the year 1805. Captain Edmonds reports that after dinner seeing that the gale was likely to continue, he ordered the third bower anchor to be got in readiness, but while in the act of getting it ready, the port bower chain parted. Veered cable cautiously on the starboard anchor to about 05 fathoms, got a tackle on the broken chain, and proceeded to haul it on board, intending to bend it to the third bower. While thus employed, the starboard chain parted, and the vessel began to drift rapidly towards the breakers. Set the etaysail and forctopsail, but ® n< J i in ) ? tb ® ship unmanageable, slipped the ends of the rabies as soon as possible. Before this could be completed, the ship was close in to the beach amongst the heavy breakers, beyond all chance of being saved But the helm up, when as the ship paid off, she struck stem on, the sea making a clean breach over, smashing the wheel, and knocking Captain Edmonds legs through the binnacle light. The ship then canted broadside on to the beach, and fell over with a list on. 4ho sea was at this time breaking clean over her. and the ship rapidly breaking up. The first attempt to reach shore was made by the mate, who was lowered overboard with a rope round his waist by Captain Edmonds. The attempt failed, the mate being twice sucked underneath the vessel, and being nearly exhausted, was hauled up again on deck. By this time Mr Kraeft had arrived, and having provided himself with a lino, succeeded in throwing it on board. To this a rope was attached, and one by one the men were brought ashore, Captain Edmonds being the last ♦ o leave his ship. Some idea of the terrific force of the sea may bo gathered from the fact that the vessel carted her cables at half-past one o’clock In the afterboon and by the time Captain Edmonds reached shore’ the beach was strewed with the wreck, the whole occupying no longer than an hour. « on the last trip of the Julia Percy, (writes the Portland Uvardiun of July 14), on Tuesday, after passing the Lawrence Eoeks, an operation was shown on board which has certainly never before been seen in these waters. AVe allude to a new method of lowering a boat and crew whilst under full steam. By the ordinary process this could not be done without risk to life but how it was done in this instance we will endeavor to explain. By what Is known as Douglas a patent lowering and disengaging apparatus, a boat can bo swung out with a full crew on board, and inelanUy detached from the tackling, the boat taking the water on an even keel; while under the old prohsstfst SnM w’saaa tsm xeady for the trial trip.. The word of command was

given, a spring was touched, and away went the boat dear of ship and tackling, and was immediately astern of the vessel. The experiment .was satisfactory in every way, and shows the immense value of the ' vention, for it is apparent that no time need be lost in lowering a boat to pick up a man overboar i nor in the stoppage of the vessel, or putting.her aboiit, a necessary preparatory action. . ‘ \ V
