Boylan, Malloolly, and 7 in the suerage. DEPARTURES. OCTOBER. 7 —Southern Cross, s.r., Captain Holmes, for Napier, with cargo and passengers -from Auckland, and’ the following passengers from Poverty Bay:—Messrs. Scafe, E O’Meara, Rearden, Miss Fulton, and two in the steerage. I’he Rangatira will leave this port, (weather, and all accidents, ’the sea, and the Queen’s enemies permitting) on Wednesday next, arriving in Napier in time for the Hawke’s Bay Agricultural Show on Thursday. The Southern Cross,Captain Holmes, which left Auckland on Tuesday evening at 5 o’clock, arrived in this port on Thursday morning, at 5 o’clock, after a quick run of 34 hours. She experienced strong westerly windaj during the greater part of the passage, especially between Cajie Rui away and Tologa Bay. The Pretty Jai ,e was in Hicks’ Bay on Wednesday morning when the Cross passed there. After landing passengers and mails, the Cross left for Napier about 10 o’clock. Considerable surprise was felt in town that she did not remain longer here, to allow time for sending correspondence for the south by her. The ahorfness of the no ice that she would take a mail hence rendered it impossible for the townspeople to avail th mselvesof the opp nit-v, and as the Rangatira did not make fiw usual weekly trip to Poverty Bay on Thursday last, dissatisfaction ran high as to the abrupt departure of the Southern Cross The schooner Agnes Donald, which arrived in this port from Auckland, on Tuesday night, made a remarkably quick passage. She left Auckland on Thursday afternoon and made the run to East Cape in 23 hours, with only partial fair wind, until she got into the Bay of Plenty, when the wind became more favorable. She called and discharged cargo at Waiapu, Awanui, Waipiro, Tokomaru, and Tologa Bay, which calls detained her upwards of 40 hours—thus limiting the actual passage, ■exclusive of detentions, to about three day*. She leaves here for Lyttleton with 50,000 feet of timber, on Wednesday next. SUPPOSED BURNING AT SEA. The ship Strathmore, from London, is 162 days out, and Las been given up for lost. No hopes whatever are entertained of her appearance here. It is supposed she caught fire, and, haring thirty tons of powder on board, was rent asunder and sunk, taking all down with her. The wreckage passed in the Southern Oceun by the ship Waimea is believed to have been fragments of her.— Auckland Star.
