The Yarrow from Newcastle, spoke the Yarra schooner on the 20th, bound for Newcastle, eight days out from Otago. Tne Margaretha Roesner will sail on Monday next for Ornaru, Province of Otago, with 1862 sheep, 7 hoises, and 3 donkeys—the property of Mr. McLean— and intended to be placed on a run possessed by him in that district. She returns immediately, we understand, to take on board a similar cargo for the same destination. She is admirably fitted, we learn, for the conveyance of stock.— Hawke's Bay Herald, March 9.

Wheok op the Schooner Swift.—A letter has been received from Captain Cook of the Swift stating that on the 12th instant, during the passage from Warehama (East Coast) to Wellington, whilst crossing the bar of the river near the former place, owing to the wind suddenly dying away, his vessel went ashore. On the 15th instant, they succeeded in getting her off, but Bhe had so many holes knocked in her that she almost immediately sank in deep water. The Captain entertains hopes of saving the anchors and chains, but nothing else. We regret to state that the schooner, a nice little craft of about 24 tons, was the property of Mrs. Kempthorne, widow of the late Captain .Kempthorne (whose melancholy death by drowningwe recorded botrecently), and hsronly means of support.— Wellington Spectator. The Omeo arrived on Wednesday afternoon from Melbourne via Otago, to which port she brought a third and concluding instalment of her sheep contract. It appears that next trip will be made to this port; with sheep, and that it was a mistake to expect her direct on this occasion. The Omea ran short of coal going up to Melbourne, and lost a day or two putting into the coast of Tasmania for fuel. She made the downward trip to Poit Chalmers under seven days. On Thursday, as the Omeo was discnarging alongside Peacock's iVharf, a serious accident happened to two of her men who were employed in the lower hold. At dinner time all the men below jumped on the end of the chain of the steam crane, to be hoisted on deck, us was the practice, though forbidden by the officers. One man's hands slipped when nearly at the top; he knocked against another, and he against a third, and two of them fell to the bottom, a distance of about twenty feet.- one escaped with a fracture of several ribs, and will shortly be about again; but the other

sustained, in medical parlance, a compound and comminuted fracture of the patella or knee pan, which will detainn him idle for a long time to come. Both were removed to the hospital and had every attention TpsAA them.—Lyttelton Times.
