BY TELEGRAPH. AUCKLAND. Tuesday. The City of New York has arrived with the English and American mails.

We notice that the sailing of the Hawea, for Napier, Poverty Day, Tuuranga, and Au.klaud, is postponed till to-day at 2 p.m. The brigantine Isabella, from Oamaru and Dunedin, and cutter Hero, from Lyttelton, arrived here on Mondav evening, produce laden. The Vs. Napier, after receiving a most thorough overhaul to her hull and machinery, and also shipping a new keel, camo round from the Slip yesterday morning. She saild for Blenheim with a full cargo in the evening. The schooner Ruby, for White Rock and Kmkouras, ■Southern Cross, for Guam, and Maiden City, Arthur Wakefield, and Falcon, for Pelorus Sound, were unable to sail yesterday owiug to the st-ong southerly wind. We understand that the schooner Clio, which has been for some time lying in port idle, t>ao been puxcha ed by a Mr. Page, of Waitapu, from Messrs. Brogden and Cj. Captain Kirk, of the Arthur Wakefield, will, as far as we can learn, take charge of her. The p.s. Luna, which left here for Lyttelton on Mondav afternoon, had to put back to port yesterday morning, through meeting with a strong head wind.

The s.s. Hawea left Port Chalmers at 4.50 p.ra. on the Cth, and arrived at Akaroa at 7 a m. on the 7th ; left again at 10 a.m., and arrived at Jjyttelton at 2.30 p.m. same day; left again at 5 p.m. on the Bth, and arrived here at 0.15 a.m. yesterday. She sails for Auckland, via the East Coast, at noon to-day. The Manawatu left Wanganui at 2.50 p.ra on Monday, crossed the bar at 3 p.m., and arrived here at 1 p.m. yesterday. Experienced strong head winds and heavy sea all the way till arrival here as above stated. She returns to Wanganui to-day. The brigantine Endeavour left Oamaru at noon on Saturday. Experienced light easterly winds to Banks Peninsula, and from thence strong S.E, till arrival here at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon The s.s. Murray arrived here at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon from Nelson. As will be remembered, she left Nelson at 5.30 p.m.on Thursday, the 4th instant, in order to render assistance to tho Wallace, and at daylight On the morning of Friday the latter was seen about five miles to the north of Wanganui Heads riding at anchor. A course was at once shaped to her, and the Wallace taken in tow, arriving at Wanganui at 10.30 a.m., it blowing at the time a strong S.W. gale,-accompanied with a heavy sea, which made it a very difficult task. Left Wanganui Wharf at noon on the 6th, arriving at Nelson at at 10.30 a.m. on the 7th ; sailed at 7.30* p.ra. on the Bth. Experienced strong S.E. gale through the Strait, arriving here as above stated. The Murray will sail for Nelson and West Coast ports to-day. The s.s. Grafton left Greymoutb at 32 o’clock on Saturday last; arrived at Westport at C o’clock same evening, and went over the bar at midnight; took in 20 tons coke, and left again at 11 a.m. on the 7th, arriving here at 7 o'clock last night. Experienced a S.W. gale to Westport, thence strong S.E. gale, with heavy sea and thick weather, to Terawiti, and till arrival as above stated-

The progress of Port Lyttelton is shown hy the immense increase in the shipping frequenting the port. During the pa-t week the English vessels in port have represented a combined registered tonnage of over 10,000 tons, whilst the whole available space at the wharves his been occupied by intercolonial and coasting vessels. Two vessels cleared the Customs for England, the combined value of whose cargoes was neatly £170,000, and the large list of exi ected arrivals shows that there will be no diminution in the trade for months to come, the present being the busiest time with produce-exporters. Including steamers, the tonnage of all vessels in port during the last week exceeded 10,000 tons.—Press.

The following, taken from a Nelson paper, gives full particulars of the accident to the steamer Wallace From Captain Dillon we learn that she left Nelson at G o’clock on Tuesday evening last, and everything went well until Wednesday morning at 8 o’clock, the Wall cc then being 25 miles N-.E. of Stephen’s Island, when tire massive iron shaft was found to be broken. After an inspection of the machinery had been made. It was determined to work a passage across the Strait with one engine, and for this purpose the other was disconnected. After a trial it was found that this would not answer with any degree of safety. Captain Dillon then resolved to make his way acresi under canvas, and the floats hav* ing been taken oif the paddle wheels, all sail was spread to a N.W. wind then blowing. Fair progress was made, and on Thursday morning at six o’clock the anchor was dropped about three miles to the southward of Wanganui Heads. Thesteamer rode easily to her anchors, and no fears were entertained for her safety. Signals for assistance were made, hut there being no steamer then in Wanganui it was impo-sihle to render her help from that quarter. At 0 a >n. on Friday the Murray, which had been despatched from Nelson, came alongside, and a line having been passed to the Wallace by heaving a life buoy overboard with a rope attached to it, as there was to heavy a sea on to approach closely, the paddle-boat was taken in tow, and safely taken to Wanganui, ■which was readied at 11 a.ra, on the same day. At noon on Saturday the two steamers set out for Nelson, and arrived there on Sunday morning.”
