EXPOETS. Per Charles Edward, for Nelson—l case mustard, N. Edwards and Co. The Rangitoto arrived yesterday at Hokitika, with the Suez mail. Up to five o'clock ive could receive no telegrams. The Wallabi left Wanganui on Tuesday evening, and arrived in the river on Thursday morning at eight o'clock. She reports very rough weather during her run down, and Captain Daniels states that he never made Westport during worse weather. She sailed yesterday morning for Nelson, where she is to bo put on the "hard" for the purpose of an overhaul. The schooner Heron, bound for Melbourne, was ready for sea yesterday morning, and it "was intended that the Wallabi should taw her out, but, in consequence of the heavy surf on the bar, the attempt was not made, and the schooner proceeded into the lagoon. One of the two vessels, the Mary Louisa Or Heath cote, which were off the port when the gale of Tuesday came, has returned to the roadstead, and is now at anchor there. The ship Celaeno has arrived at Port Chalmers from London. On her passage out, William Rowe, a seaman, was drowned by falling overboard. The Rambler, in leaving Okarito, on Saturday last, got ashore on the north beach. The Formosa, which was lately wrecked at Point Nepean, was an iremtoamerof 108 tons, Clyde-built. She was 120 days out from Glasgow, and was laden with bottled beer and oast-iron water pipes. The crew and passengers were saved. The ship was broken to pieces, but a portion of the cargo has been washed ashore. The consignees have sold the hull for £2OO, and the cargo for £465. The Lapwing, from the Fijis, has brought the news that two vessels—the schooner Lovely Nancy and Swallow, bound to Melbourne and Lyttelton respectively with oil and cotton—?eTt Levuka just before a hurricane commenced, and news was subsequently received that the Lovely Nancy went to pieces on the Kantavu Keef. Another vessel supposed to be the Swallow struck on the same reef, but got off and foundered almost immediately. Nothing definite was known regarding the fate of the crews. THE WRECK OF THE ST. VINCENT. In Wellington, a subscription is being got up on behalf of the survivors, and the famines of those lost. Mr E. Pearce, agent for the vessel, heads the list with twenty guineas. The following are the names of those known to be on board :—James Barron, captain; John Stringer, chief officer, (saved); George Harrison, Wm, Patterson, Robt. Mitchell, eirpentcr, Charles Smith, John Shirling, Auguste Kanaski, sailmaker, (saved); Wm. Smith, Charles Richards, Richard Griffiths, Alfred Kennedy, Harry de Costa, Alexander M'Kee, John Kirkpatrick, William Smart, and E. M'Kay, passenger. The names of the remainder are not known. The vessel is a total wreck. M'Kay was a clerk in some English Insurance Office, on a year's leave of absence, and was visiting the colony for the benefit of his health. He has a wife and three children in England. The bodies of the captain, second officer, Mr M'Kay, passenger, and five of the seamen, had been picked up on the rocks near the scene of the wreck. The bodies being groatly mutilated by their beating on the rocks, they were collected and at onco interred above high water mark. A life buoy was found on Mr M'Kay, who it is supposed reached the shore alive, but was afterwards dashed to pieces on the rocks.
