She left Blenheim at noon, and crossed the bar at 115 p ra.: experienced fine weather across. The Napier will jail again for Blenheim this evening; The inquiry by the Steam Navigation Board Into the cause of the stranding of the brig Alexandra near Babbit Island, during her voyage from Newcastle to Melbourne, was concluded yesterday. The suspicions evidence given on the previous day by tho seaman Brown was unexpectedly corroborated by the second mate Hanson, who gave evidence apparently with great’ reluctance on. Tuesday, but who had now decided to make aVVlcan breast of, Itj and explain tho whole affair At bjx own request he was recalled, and stated that the cajitain, mate, and himself made the two holes in the ship’# 1 -bottom after Captain Anderson, of tho Government \ steamer Pharos, left her on Tuesday night. They made two of the holes with augers, which witness afterwards throw overboard and tho third hole was made by the mate with a marlinspiko and a big hammer. Captain Anderson was also examined, and his evidence was of a most serious character. The board decided to forward the evidence taken to the Government for them to deal with as they tlrmghl proper, ns tho case had assumed, such an aspect that the hoard could not deal with it as au ordinary shipping case. As soon as the board gave this decision Detective Mackey arrested, tho captain (J. B. King), the mate (John Batters), and, tho second male or boatswain (Charles Hansen), on warrants, charging them, with having ’ by a certain overt act attempted to cast the ship away.” They were then lodged in tho watchhouso.—Melbourne: A Hth in il., ■ It will ho in the remembrance of many of our readers (says the Near Zculaiul Jlerald), that the llinomoa, Captain Hugh Boss, sailed from this wort on tho 2nd of May, 1877, with a cargo of live stock and provisions for Tonga and Samoa. Prom that day up to iho present timfeao authentic tidings have been received aa to what had become of the vessel and crew, as she washover seed after leaving: this coast By the arrival of the schooner Energy from tho islands, wo are how placed in pojwesirion of a piece Of ittUslUgeu%... plwej WomiAU doubt the fatit of a heavy calamity having overtaken tho whoonor and all on board. -The general conclusion amojvj the hautiUial community hero was that she had foundered In a storm, and went aowfr with all hands- The information, however, we have received points to a different conclusion. Tn a late report from Fiji It was stated Hint the hull of the . wrecked schooner May Queen was on shore at Ongen", one of the windward islands of tho Fiji group. Captain Carmichael,-of thin city, being in the neighborhood vf Ongea, seat one of blvcrew to examine It—-

one who knew the two missing schooners, and the man states distinctly that it is the Hlnemoa. as the wreck does not contain a “ poop,” which the May Queen did, while he also recognises the companion, as that of the Hinemoa. On the stern of the hull is the word “ Auckland,” but the name of the vessel Is missing. / V' , Our Fortrose correspondent, wnting'on the 16th instant, says the s.s. Star of- the South ! pnt in on Saturday, the 12th lust., and let go her anchors inside, but the fury of*the storm caused her to dra< her anchors, and she unavoidably drifted about 150 yards out of the channel on to the sandy spit or flat, where aho now lies high and dry at low water. There will be considerable difficulty to get her off, unless unusually high tides prevail. The. wind has now moderated, but still continues squally. The s.s. Gazelle entered this port to-day, notwithstanding a pretty he ivy break on the bar*, but she cam© in Jlko a duck, ondia now waiting to be discharged,—Otogo Times, 19th inst. A case, the first of the kind that has been brought publicly forward here, was heard at the B.M. Court yesterday. The master of the ketch Franklin Belle was charged with a breach of the Customs Regulation Act in not entering hh vessel at the Customs within the prescribed time. The master, it appears, was not aware that it was at all necessary that bis ship should be entered at the Customs, as ships had been known to leave the port of Dunedin and other places twice upon the one clearance—made at the period of the last sailing. Ho had himself entered port many times without complying strictly with the provisions of the Act, having always waited until lie was loaded, and then performed the work of entering and clearing his vessel at one and the same time. It is, however, of the highest importance that vessels should bo entered before their cargoes were discharged, or the Customs will have no opportunity of knowing whether or not they have any dutiable goods, and probably tho revenue will suffer in consequence. It would bo wise on the part of coasting skippers ff they would taka this warning to heart, as tho second offence of this kind brought before the Court will of a certainty bo met by tho infliction of the full penalty allowed in such cases.—N. O. Times. The s.s. St. Kilclft, 174 tons, John Flowerday, master, arrived here at 8 o’clock last night. Reports leaving Dunedin on Tuesday, at C p.m.. and arriving at Oamaru at 4 a.m. the following morning ; left there at 5 p.m. tho same day, arriving at Lyttelton at 3 p.m. tho following day; left there at 7p.m., arriving here as above. Had light variable winds, with smooth sea, on the passage up. She brought 33 tons cargo for AVelliugton and 130 for AVanganui.
