The schooner. Phoonix left Dunedin on the 6th instant, bound to this port, which she reached on the 12tb, after a splendid run of seven days. The Phcenix made the passage via Cook's Straits, a heavy gale from the S.E. blowing during her run through them. She brings a full general Cflrso.

The schooner Wild Wave sailed from Kiapara on the 4th inst., pleasant, weather and favorable winds attending her until the 6th, when a heavy pale from SS.W. hove her to for twelve hours under close reefed mainsail. On tho 7th, •weather moderating, made sail, and during the remainder of the passago light southerly winds and calms prevailed. She reached tho Wharf safely on the 12th. On the 10th the Wild Wave fipoke the schooner Emma Jane from Manauknu bound to the Grey, and the brig Reliance from the Grey bound to the Kiapara; both desired to bo reported, The Wild Wave has been most fortunate since her last departure from Hokitika, making tbo voyage to Kuipnra and back in nineteen "days.

Tlie sB. Maid of the Yarra left Dunedin on •rhe B'h inst., bound for the Grey, via Cook's 'Staits. On clearing the Heads found a stiff N.E. }>rpeze blowing, which induced Captain Hughes to steer sou 1 li instead She made a good passage through Fouvcaux Straits'- FindiDg her coals running short put into Jackson's Bay on the 10th to cut and take in firewood. Proceeded on her voyage after a si ay of a few hours only, but on tho irorning of the 18th, when a few miles to the north of Hokitika, found ahe bad only about an .hpjir's coal left, which induced .her (the wopd " proving unserviceable to keep • Tjtoam up) to touch at this port for coal, and to ' discharge twelve tons of cargo consigned here. Fhe accordingly put about and hdaded for the "Uar,' meeting the steam-til? Lioness, which had -run out, mistaking tho Maid, in the imperfect light of early morning, for a sailing vesiel wanting :i Bteam-tng, ' When within hailing distance Captain Hughes asked for a pilot, upon which the pilot of tho Lioness, Mr James, proceeded on board, and took charge of her. By this lime the day had fairly broken, rendering every object on shore clearly perceptible, the' weather being most beautiful, with very little sea on dutside. The bar, which had from 10 to 12 feet of water on it, was remarkably smooth, savo every now and then whon n heavy Bluggiah roller would tumble over and break upon .the beach. Everytlr'n^ was in her favor, nobody antjoipating the diiaiter ko soon to follow. Tho stcamor reached tho entrance cafcly, taking the bar close lo the wreck of the T.tauia,' which she had no sooner jiwed than her long heol took the* ground Rightly, the helm being immediately put to port with the intention of edging her oloser to the Sou'h Spit. She, however, refused to nnswor it, and at this pritical jnncturo of affair's a rollor struck her, and the next moment tho Maid of the Yarra wns hard and fast ashore. A few more seas sent her high upon tho beach, heeling her to seaward, the waves thus breaking fair upon her decks and starboard side, quickly smashing in the side of tho deck houso, unshipping the bridge, and sweeping away sundry urticles of cargo that hnd been stowed on deck. As tho fide receded tho passengers landod, and preparations were at onco nmde to discharge her cargo, of which she had about 100 tons on board ; hut when theha'cbes were opened it was found that her midship compartment was full of water, an unmistakable sign tho vessel was fieriously injured, if not completely bilged. The work of unloading was proceeded with as quickly as po3m'Mo, and by four o'clock yesterday aft"moon the /f, r reuteßt part of tho cargo was discharged, but all of it considerably damaged. How to /uwount for this urrfov,ird event is beyond onr jiower, for tin we s.iid before, tho bur was in a most favorable &tate for crossing,' there ><eine? fully two foot moro wa'cr upon fa than tb« hUid of the Y&rn} wps drawing,

her drought aft l.eing only eight feet, and forward ulxint Seven. One thing we are confidant of, our unfortunate port cannot lie lilmird this tin**, tlie signal wan being at his station, the arm of tho cemaphoro piinting to tho south when she took the ground. An investigation wiH v however, doubtless be held: and wo trust, for the credit of Hokitika, it will bo a searching one : so We >>hall veirain from any further comment upon tin's most untoward event, which lms resisted in the loss of ns smart a little vessel, and .easy Id handle, as ever pushed cutwater over tile bar, nnd one in which wo all tnkP jtho liveliest intereV, through our very long and interesting acquaintance", with her. The maid of tho Yarra left JacksoVs Buy on the ldth, arriving off Hokitika dn tile morning of the 13th. We should like to know the cnuHo bf her detention by tho way, the weather having been most favorable throughout the passage. . , The P.N.Z. v aml A.U.M. Co 'sis. Egmont Wt Dunedin on the sth inst/ 1 ; s'ie arrived ni Lyttd'tttn oh tho (sth, leaving on the 7th ; reached Wellington the next day, leaving the day after. Shernrt into Nelson on the 10th. and loft again on the 11th, arriving off Hokitika at 3 a.m. on the 1 3th. She experienced very fine weather throughout the passage, and brings twenty-six tons of cargo for this port. She leaves again for Dunedin via hlt'erm'ediate porls on Friday morning.
