We learn from the Southern Cross that the line of telegraph from the signal station on Kaipara Heads to the Pilot Station—a distance of about eight miles has been completed, and will : shortly be opened. This work undertaken by the Government is a stop in the right, direction, as from the position of the Pilot Station inside the harbor the pilot is prevented from seeing the approach of vessels until they are inside the Heads, And out of danger. The usual course has been for captains of vessels on making the harbor to send a boat np to the Pilot Station to fetch the pilot or to acquaint him of their presence. This will now he obviated, as the signalman will in future telegraph to, the pilot all necessary information. As the Kaipara ,1s becoming such an extensive timber port, it may he'found advisable to place a small steam launch at the service of the pilot, on* account of the great distance he has to travel both in taking vessels up the river and also from the mills to sea. ■' l > * - ■ 1

The famous schooner-yacht Peorlcsa.onco owned by Colonel atelnbergcr,. of Samoa, lias been, lost at Suwarrow. ;Her shipwrecked crew arrived in Auckland on the 29th ult., by , the brigantine-Kyno. ■ Regarding thls.vessel, whiehjhas played an important part in Colonel Stelnberger's, career in Samoa,.the Southern Crosn states that she was built in San Francisco, and was formerly a screw steam yacht. She was afterward* lengthened, and converted into a schooner, Hercabln was a paragon of excellence, but, as a proof Of its limited accommodation, in the days of " crinoline,” an inscription, which was evidently a parody On Dante.appcared above the door, as follows“ All hoops forsake.who enter here.” She left Auckland In July last and called at Tonga. She then proceeded to Savage and Palmerston Islands, reaching the latter on the 81st July. l On the night of the Ist August. the '.yessel Was,pnt under shortened sail, as a precautionary measure, previous to sighting Suwarrow. l At a quarter past 6 o clock next morning breakers close ahead were observed, and before tbe

vessel could bo put about she struck on areef outside Suwarrow, during the mate 8 watch. On of the darkness the reef could not be until the Peerless was close on to It, and the wind from the E.N.E. prevented the breakers Irpm.being heard. The heavy sea running Uftfid- her clean on to the reef, and she fell on her port side, staving her in, a complete and helpless wreck. Fortunately those on board -were enabled to jhemselvea on _the reef, and apportion df the WfgoWjfs also secured, [An enquiry into the dinke (if the .wreck was ,held, and as we haVe been Informed by telegram, the mate s certificate Was cancelled, And this captain censured.) - N v V' s mil '
