The Stormbird sails for Wanganui this evening at C o’clock.

The ship Midlothian, now due from London, comes consigned to W. and G. Turnbull and Co. From our Melbourne files we take the following:— The barque Moneta, with a cargo of tobacco, raaizena, candied goods, etc., arrived at Melbourne on the Bth inst. She made the passage in 04 days. When she was in lat. 28dcg. 47min. N., and lon. 33deg. 33min. W., on May 22, she was boarded by a boat from the United States war steamer Alaska, short of provisions. The Alaska was 49 days out from Garaboon, bound to Maderia. Her requirements in the victualling line were kindly attended to by.the captain of the barque. —The Melbourne Argics says:—“When the barque Glengarry, bound from Gippsland Lakes to Melbourne, was novo-to under Cape Howe on 29th ult., at about 10 p.m., a seaman named William Russell fell overboard from the weather side. A life-buoy was thrown to him, which he appeared to have got hold of. The schooner was immediately put Into the wind, but refusing to stay on account of being under closc-reefed sails, she was wore round, but It was impossible to get again near the spot where the unfortunate man had fallen overboard, and the sea being far too high to enable a boat to live, the poor fellow had to bo left to his fate.
