Tha b.s. Tui sailed at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon for Eaikoura and Lyttelton., Nothing reliable has been ascertained regarding the wreck reported in Palllser Bay, but a rumor was current yesterday evening that a person had recognised the hatch that was picked up as belonging to the topsail schooner Pelican. A petition was being numerously signed yesterday by the owners and masters of vessels trading in and out of Wellington, praying the Government not to remove the light from Mana Island. 11 is understood that when the new light is exhibited on the Brothers it is the intention of the Government to discontinue showing the light on Mana, and to prevent this the petition la being got up, in which is set forth the hardships that will be entailed upon those who go down to the Sea in ships if the Government carry out its Intention, as the light on Mana Island is always the first thing that captains of vessels that come from the westward make for, while to those who trade between Wanganui, Foxton, Kangitikei, &c., and this port it is one of the safest guides they have to navigate their vessels.

The steamship Easby arrived, from Sydney at 9 o’clock last night. Captain A nderson reports leaving Sydney at 6pm. on the 10th, passed Cape Farewell at 7 a.m, on the 16th, and Stephen’s Island at 1 p.m. same day, arriving here as above.

The Easby will proceed South on Wednesday. A vessel called the Harrison Is loading jarrah timber at Bunbnry, Western Australia, for New Zealand. She is probably coming to Wellington.
