John Wesley, brig, from Sydney, early On Thursday morning last the schooner Energy left our harbour for Auckland, • via the Friendly Islands. The schooner Mary Anderson arrived in harbour yesterday afternoon from Auckland, via the Friendly Islands, having left tho first named port on the 18th May. Fine weather is reported throughout the passage, .villi light aud variable winds.

The schoonT Mazeppa, hence to Auckland, arrived on tho 7th May; the Active, on May 13, and tho Norvul on the 14th. Tho captain of the Mary Anderson reports that the barque Kcda, bound from l'eget Sound to Melbourne with timber) met with a severe hurricane off Raratonga, during which she was dismasted, tho -water aud provisions spoilt or washed overboard. The boats, galley, and everything on deck were r.wcpt away, and liaally the vessel herself became water-logged. For forty-seven • lays they were tossed about ut tho mercy of the wind and waves, suffering most intensely. The only water they had was what they could ceudence in a coadoncer improvised out of :in oil can, and the amount of water obtained by this means during the whole time was one gallon aud a half. This, together with r. ivineglassfid of flour per day was all that these unfortunate m*n had to exist upon for ihe abovementioued time. The Hanbai Group was at last sighted, and two rafts were at onco constructed and the party, 1 irelve in number, succeeded in landing on one of the small islands, where ton of thorn were found by the King of Tonga, who immediately had them conveyed to the principle island, where- they were cared tor by the foroign residents, each taking as many of the unfortunate sufferers as he could accommodate. As soon as the King found that thero were two of the number missing, he ordered a search to be made and the men to bo brought in dead or alive. One was afterwards brought in dead.
