By a private telegram placed at our disposal last night we learn that the ketch Falcon, trom Havelock, with a cargo of timber, went ashore yesterday morning while being towed in at Patea. When the telgram was received (yesterday evening) the crew were busy landing the cargo. No other particulars were mentioned. The steamer Southern Cross arrived here from Lyttelton last night. She left that port on Saturday last at half-past six with a general cargo of about 150 tons for Northern ports and five valuable bulls for Napier. Experienced strong wind and sea all the passage. Wc are Indebted to the purser (Mr T. Sidey) for report, . and particulars of the wreck of the Southminster, which will be found elsewhere. The Southern Cross reports sighting the Kiwi off Flaxbonrne loading wool. The steamer Murray leaves Nelson to-night, and will arrive here early to-morrow morning. The steamer Napier, fromßlenheim, came in yesterday at 5 o’clock. She made a good run across of eight hours. She leaves again to-night. The steamer Samson, for Wanganui, left here on Saturday evening. From thence she proceeds to West Wanganui for another cargo of coals. The Go-Ahead came off the Slip on Saturday. She has been thoroughly overhauled. She left here for Napier last evening. It will be seen by advertisement that the steamer Wellington will leave here on the 19th iust. for the Manukau, calling at Picton, Nelson, and Taranaki. The Rangatira leaves to-day for Napier and Poverty Bay. The Stormbird arrived here yesterday from Wanganui after a run of 11 hours and a-half. Fine weather was experienced during the run up. She returns again this evening. The Government steamer Hinemoa left Auckland on the 26th ult. for Kawau, thence to Capo Maria Van Diemen.

Mr. Williams* steamer Lnna is laid up, and is now open for sail or charter. Should the owner not get a satisfactory price for her, it is very probable that her paddles will be done away with, and twin screws placed in her. If such is done, she will still be kept in the West Coast trade. The Wellington left Nelson on Saturday rooming at half-past ten, called at D’Urville Island, and arrived at Picton at half-past 7 in the evening ; left there at midnight, and arrived here at half-past 6 yesterday morning.

W e understand that the Melbourne steamers,'that is, Vhoso lately purchased from Messrs McMcckan, &' ve to be painted black. It will beseenby advertisement that’the sailing of the ship Rakaia is postponed r uat ji t ho 14th December. The wool has been coming to hand this season very slowly. Thegreater quantity of the wool for the New Zealand Shipping Company comes from the Wanganui district, and. the wet weather of late has kept the shearing back. Tho steamer Lyttelton, from Otaki, with more cargo from the strayed ship City of Auckland, arrived in harbor early Yesterday morning, She left at 2 p,m. on Saturday, but owing to the thick weather anchored under Mana until morning, when she arrived as She has now brought altogether 330 tons cargo, which has come forward in first-rate ofder. AH the cargo is now out of the ship, with the exception of the pig iron and railway iron. She returned again yesterday afternoon on her fourth trip, and should tho weather be at all favorable she may be expected here on Wednesday.

The barque Helen Denny is, according to tho Hawke's lift}/ Herald of tho 28th ultimo, almost a full ship and would getaway nearly next week if Captain Ruth was not compelled to go South to engage with seamen for tho voyage Home. The steamer Kiwi came off tho Slip on Saturday and sailed for Flaxbourno during the evening. The steamer Hauarakl, which went aground on Friday at the north side of tho Waitara River, la expected to be floated off in about ton days’ time. She went ashore owing to the rudder chain breaking. The topsail schooner Wave of Life arrived at Auckland from Lyttelton on the 27th ultimo, after a protracted X'assagc of 23 days. Nothing further has been heard respecting tho wreck of the schooner Tubal Cain at Ono island, Flj 1. A rumor was afloat yesterday (says tho Auckland Herald of November 25), that ono of the passengers had forwarded a- message to this city, stating that one-half of tho cargo had been landed, and that all the passengers were safe. The following are tho in- , uuranccK ; but should tho private message prove correct. tho loss will bo much below our figures:—On the hull: New Zealand Company, £750; Union Company, £750, Cargo; Union Company, £1520, £SOO of which is re-insured in the New Zealand Company and £250 in tho Batavia Company. The Arons gives the following extraordinary par- 4 ticulars of the weather encountered by tho ship Loch I Tay on her voyage from England:—“A heavy galo I from Bouth-eaat wan encountered off the Cape ol Good I

Hope for three days, and on October 19, when on the meridian of 55* E.. the>hip was caught in a dangerous cyclone. The wind veered from N.W. to S.S. W., and blew a perfect drift for about 18 hours, and the ship, which was kept before the wind and sea, sped along at a fearful pace, and incredible as it may seem Captain Bonnatt avers the day’s distance run as being 420 miles. Tho sea during the hurricane raged with ungovernable fury, and threatened to overwhelm the fillip, decks and cabins being kept in a state of chronic deluge, One towering sea which she pooped smashed the wheel and severly injured the men who wore steering, besides carrying away the poop rail and cabin skylight, and bursting the ventilator under the break of tho poop. Quito a flood of water thus found its way below. The after hatch was stove in, and portions of tho topgallant rail on both sides were carried away, as well as two boats on tho starboard side. Tho doors of the second cabin deckhouse were smashed in, and a good deal of other minor damage was done. Tho storm at times was almost appalling in its vehemence, and tho sea strange and peculiar In color.” H.M.s. Cormorant, tho new vessel of war.one of the seven or eight of the same class to bo added to tho British fleet, is designed for an unarmoured cruiser, drawing little water, to bo able to run into shallow bays and creeks. Tho hull is of composite structure, having considerable strength combined with lightness. Tho length, between perpendiculars, is 170 ft: tho extreme breadth, 30ft lin; tho draught forward is 13ft din, and 15ft 01n aft; the total displacement is 1137 tons, The engines are of 900 horse-power indicated, and the vessel has a speed of eleven knots an hour. She carries six guns, namely, two revolving guns of 4J tons weight, and four 64-pounders, Her complement of men is 141. Tho toredo, or ship-worm (says an American contemporary), whoso ravages on ships' timbers are well known to all sailors, is creating great havoc on tho Pacific coost. The wharf at Santa Monica, the port of Los Angelos, Southern California, has had to bo abandoned on account of their depredations, and they have now put in an appearance at the San Francisco docks. These worms aro from six inches to a foot in length, and boro into timbers exposed to tho action of sea water, entirely riddling them, until at last they fall to pieces. Another post, called himnoria, works cross-wise in the timbers, boring the holes across tho grain of tho wood, until at times tho timber is cut completely in two. These pests used to bo found only in tropical seas, but since 1870 they have appeared in San Francisco Bay in great numbers. Unless some means bo devised to check their ravages, the complete destruction of all the piles supporting the wharves of San Francisco is threatened.
