The well-known schooner Necromancer, with a cargo of coals from West Wanganui, was wrecked on Cape Farewell Sandspit, on the night of the 14th instant. All hands were saved. The General Government Gazette contains a notification of errors in the charts of the West. Const, discovered during the recent survey by Lieut. Woods. To this notification it is added:—"The recent surveys, so far as yet completed, have only embraced the coast line from Jackson's Head (which is correct on the charts) to Grey River, and the whole of the coast, line between these points is more or less out in the public charts; it may consequently be inferred that the coast line north of the Grey is to some extent inaccurate, and mariners are therefore cautioned, and warned to exercise great care in approaching or coasting the land at night. As no additional incentive to caution, it may be stated that it has several times been reported by officers commanding steamers on the coast, that it is necessary to steer half a point to the westward of the course indicated by the charts, in shaping a course from Perpendicular Point, in order to clear|Cape Foulwind."
