BY TELEGRAPH. GKEYMOUTH, Mouitu}'. Saileu : On .Saturday, Zephyr, tor Melbourne. LYTTELTON’. Monday. Saii.eu . Canny Scott, for Sydney. —TI» Contrabandlore made another start for Wellington today.— T.IUIIO, for the North, at 5 p.ra. Passenger for Wellington : Mr. Sleddings, or.MARK.pi Cicero, barque, for the- United Kingdom. She takes a full cargo of wheat. &c. The s.a. Star of the South will sail at noon to-day for the South., , ' . , . .■■ i The 3. 8. Wanaka, from hire North, arrived here at 0.30 a.ni. yesterday. Slie left Bussell at 7.30 p.m, on the 21st, and arrived at Auckland at 10-45 a.ni. on the 22ndj sailed from, thence at 4.30 p m. on the 23rd, and reached Taurauga at 6 30 a.ra. on the 24th; left agaU at 10.30- a iiv., and anchored in Poverty Bay at 3.30 a.ra. on the 25th; left at 5.15 p.m , and arrived at Hawke’s Bay at 0.30 a.in. on Sunday; left again at 1 pvin. and arrived in harbor as.above stated Experienced a S.JB. gale and heavy sea from the Bay of Inland? to Auckland, and the remainder of the passage moderate variable winds and hazy rainy weather. Vie arc indebted to Mr. Pringle, purser, for hies and report. The Wauafca sailed again for the South at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The 3.3. Raugatira, from Xapier and Poverty Bay. arrived in port at 4 a.m. yesterday. She left PovertyBay at 3 p.m. on the 24th instant, and arrived at Napier at 2 a. ra. on the 25th; left again at 2 a.m. on the ‘Jbtlii, and arrived here a* above stated. The brigantine Esther, with a full cargo of produce, arrived here from Lytteltonyesterday. She left there on Friday, and had moderate weather up. The Dunedin Herald says:—“ IVe are informed on good authority that tho Otago Steaming Company are negotiating with a Newcastle firm for the sale of the tug KopntaC tbo amount of support accorded the company not being sufficient to induce them to keep her here.. If this port is left without an efficient Btear* tug it will prove very disastrous for Otago. Vexatious delays, increased insurance, and a natural 1 objection on the part of owners to send large vessel?, here will be among the evils rasoltiog from ie absence from a tag boat. The Harbor Board have declined to do what was formerly done by the Provincial Government—grant a subsidy-*and the pr opriefcors of the Koputaf do not feel inclined to ber the general public at a loss to themselves. This is a matter which should bo considered by thr. Chamber of Commerce, for it affects the interests of every merchant and importer in the-province. In Canterbury the Harbor Board, ordered a steam tug' c 0 built for themselves, 9«nd l & reducing; towing * rates to a udniumix\ity*y v*Ul attract vessels to tiW, r port, because iuiipiiVisters will have Increased fy jilitles for gaining the port, and that too at rooiUaf # j e charges. Now, we require a tow boat hero ten ki’ more than they db.at Lyttelton, where a ship css' a b C at up harbor. If deep water channel to Dr ,nedin is to be an accomplished fact, a steam *„ug will be an absolute necessity, for no large vosay ia would venture up alone ftnjl mu the risk of geMr ltlC j athwart the channel 9pd probably breaking /their backs. Decided steps should be taken at onee to prevent the port being left without a tug-boat * The schooners AxU mr Wakefield and Clio arrived hero from ‘Waitapu yesterday morning. They left there on Tuesday and experienced strong head winds, through w’jich they were obliged to put into Guard's Bay to repair sails; left there on Sunday hut and arrived t here as above stated Thcrtleawe'ra Tui. for Foxton, and Wellington, for Pkton and Velaou, sailed yesterday afternoon. Captalrv j. O. Lunghiers, of the Danish vessel Lutierheld.'communicates to a Copenhagen paper an lnlerestlrvg account of a novel experience which oc* currod on December 10, 1870, while on a voyage to Valparaiso. The vessel wai at this time in the neighborhood of Ter a del Fuego, about 110 miles from Magellan's Straits, when, early in tbo morning, it narrowly ©scaped collision with an .island where no trace of land appeared on the charts. The vessel hove to until daylight, when the captain proceeded with a boat’* crew to the new island, which had gradually diminished la size Tnco the first observation. Around the conical rocky mass the water was hissing, and although no smoko appeared. It was fouud to be too highly heated to permit of landing. The sinking continued slowly, until, at 0 o’clock, the island wau completely submerged, and an hour later the vessel passed over the spot where it hid disappeared. This volcanic island is probably due to the same causes which have produced the recent severe earthquakes on the west coast of South America.
