From wliat we learn tie vessel, was chartered by a person of the name of Cavilon. : of Melbourne, to carry a cargo of coal: from Newcastle to PMiiatna, lir having previnn?ly mode arrangepents with the Tom-igo Curapany in Sydney for this purp'-ee. While the vessel was in course of loading, However, suspicion appears to Bare r risen ia the minds of the company ns to the bona fides of Cavilon, which suspicion b> cime strengthened when they ascertained th»t be was not to be fiiund. On learning this the company forwarded instructions to Messrs WaTd and Co, to etay further, loading of the vessel until, by advertising, they could discover the whereabout' of the missing charterer. The company's expect;) fious in this latter respect not having been realised, they gave instructions to Mr Ward to apply to Captain Meybrom for payment, or to permit the vessel. to be discharged, but to both of these propositions He demurred, on the ground that be also had been a considerable loser by lUo transaction. While lejjal consultation was beinjr held in the natter, to the infinite surprise of all concerned the captain raised his anchor suddenly and sailed out to sen;, having 240 tonrof coal on board hip vessel, whicb. were not paid for. The port to which, he is bound is involved in conjecture. — Newcastle Chronicle. The Joss of the ship Camana; from Antigua to Liverpool, has been reported at Lloyd's. Early on the. morninw of the 25tb May, the vessel was struck a fearful blow on her bow by a large whale, completely knocking' her 3fera ouf , She immediately began to make water rapidly, an<l it was evident that the pumps would fail to keep her clear. The longboat was lattncho'l, and the crew were compelled to abandon the vessel about an hour or so after she was struck, the ship Having between six and seven feet of water in her hold. Tb? boat was fallen in with on the same day, by the E. A. Soulliird, which took on board the crew, at-d'tjfey reached Liverpool on the 4th. Tbe .Camana was loa- ted with a cargo of sugar, and her loss will involve a large sum.— Southern Cross, T October 27. . ~ The barque Ansiralind, from OKigo. September . -4tb, bound tq fay a, reports Bprinninc her foremast daring a; heavy galo of wind off the nortli- _ east coait of the north island of New Zcnlaml. and has put in here to get a new mast and repair , other . damage. She saw no vessels dv; ing the passage.— S. M. Herald. QOICK Yotages.— The fine ship Volga, Capt. - Taylor, arrived- at this port 10th instantv having made the passage from Lj ttelton, New Zealand, to this port, in 71 dayc, the shortwt passage from ' any part of HewiZealand to the United States, on > J " record She doubled Cape Horn 22 days out and \ crossed tbe Equator in 49 days out, and them completed the entire i passage jn 71 days. 'Jhe Volga though a fiDe vessel, is quite full modelled: her *■' great passage therefore, may be attributed to the - skill with which she wsb sailed and n.-vig-ated. She is also in etcellenfc order, both belo"' and aloft, > which reflects high credit on Capt. Taylor, his t, officers and ctew.~J3oslcn Commercial Bulletin.
