Marvellous, —A Yankee skipper recently reported the uprising in raid-ocean of 137 kegs of butter. Reports have been taken to Auckland by persons on board the Tairoa and Ringarooma, that when off Cape Colville on the 6th June, the water of the ocean for a space of eighty feet in diameter, was boiling up like a spring, throwing up mud and discoloring matter. It had the appearance of being worked upon by some violent commotion underneath extending away for a great length. Prom this centre was a yellow streak, not unlike the shape of a comet.
