I; Messrs Donald Currio and Co.'s Castle packet Drummond Castle, which has recontly been .fitted with triple expansion eiigiues, has just made a very fast passago from the Cape. She left Capotown at .4:48 p.m. on tho 29th of August and- proceeding via St. Helena and Madeira, arrived at Plymouth at 11,67 on the lGth September.

Waihakcke have done sorious damage to some of the settlors thai'o amongst their sheep. Mrs Cadwallader, I hear, litis lost 150. and I hear someothors have lost rathor heavily. Mr Cprpe at tho Gladstone saw mill has hadall his tram completely washedaway, arid uews has reached Carterton that tho settlers of the Lower Valley have been heavy losers through tho flood. Yesterday afternoon a little girl, aged ono year and nine months, tho daughter of Mr J. l'aaske, who is a miller in the employ of Mr A. 'W. Renall, was out playing in a paddock near the mill, The mother missed the little one and immediately instituted a search. After a wearisomo two hours, the poor ■ little thing was discovered in the mill creek below Mr Bunny's dam quite dead. An inquest will be held this afternoon.. We regret to learn that Mr Alexander . Stewart of Dreyerton has lost about two hundred fmo sheep by the late flood. Tho Government when constructing tho line in this locality did not mako a proper provision for floodwater. The consequence is that after a heavy rain Mr Stewart and his neighbors are in danger of beiug flooded out, and of losing their stock, it is also stated that Mr Danalier the railway contractor for the Ekctahuna section sustains serious losses by the late flood.
