Tauuiaki at 12.;i0 p.m. next day; sailed again a f . 7 p.m., and arrived oil tho Manukau at daylight on ihe -ith. THP £. S. STAR OF THE SOUTH. AVi: have much regiei in reccrdinq; the vrrock off his fine steamer, so well kiv.v.-n her-. It was as follows :— " '1 ; e s. s. Star of the S'outh left Port Chalmers on the Hth instant, at ludi'-past four p.ni , with a flight N.E. breeze. Next d y tlie wind ahifieil to the (S.W., soon blowing a hard gale, which composed her t-< run into Port Willi-mi, tfiewart's island. On the loth, weather vn.-djr'.tinu*, weighed and proceeded on he- voyage, out vlien off the West Cape the gale agam sprang „p i forcing lier to run for shelter to Inlet, bringing up with the best bower in ' •oiih Port same day. Here she lay until the loth, wlien another attempt was made to proceed on the voyage, but on getting outside found a perfect hurricane blowirg from the N.N.W., which obliged her to at once show her stern to it, and run back to her anchorage. When running through return channel, and off the S.E. point of Great Island, the ship struck on a sunken rock .situated one and a-half or two cables'length from the shore. She cleared it almost immediately, but commenced making water at such a rate, and settling down so fast, that it was deemed advisable to prevent her sinking in deep water, to beach her at North Port, and by the time this wis effected, tho main and fore compartments"wero nearly full of water. The next day an anchor was run out, the steamer hove as high as possible on tho beach, and a considerable portion of the cargo lauded. All attempt was also made to land a look-out party on Cape 1 rovideuce, which failed, owing to the heavy sea running. From this date up to the 2.lst the crew worked day and night, discharging cargo and getting tho ship higher on the beach, and another attdjnjit, which resulted successfully, was made to land a look out party, consisting of Mr. Gannon, the purser, and Mr. Skinner, at Capo Providence. On tlie 21st the s.s. Willi aai Miskin ran in through stress of weather, and rendered every assistance to the distressed vessel, and through her providential arrival, the passengers and crew were saved much distress and inconvenience. We ure sorry to report tho Star of tho South a complete wreck, there being 110 hopes of her recovery, the rock having driven her bottom in, smashing several of the angle ir ns. All her passengers and part of tho crew wore transhipped on board the Miskin, Captain Jtlodge ai d a few of his men remaining by tho wreck.— West Coast T'.ms.
