The information communicated by the Aberdeen clipper Alexander Duthie. A. Douglas, commander, whiih arrived in London on April 9th. from creates hope that the crew of one, at least, of the several rcissin; ships from Australia and New Zealand have reached land. On January fit!,, when about twenty miles off the North Cape of the Aucklands, the thick weather which so frequentlv envelopes those dangerous islands suddenly shifted, 7 an d 5 shortly afterwards several fires were seen on the brow of a clitl'. The desire to rescue these castaways was, of course, uppermost in the mind of Captain Douglas, an<l the s nail chart in the -'margin of Inrav'f " Soutu Pacific" v/as anxiously consulted. Th>* returning fog. the wildness of the sea, the strong current, the precipitous character of wlmt the Hying nature of the wind made at tinirs almost a lee-shore, and the probability of the wind shiftitu; and making it quite so. combined with the tenderness of the ship, at last decided Captain Douglas in deeming it too serious a risk to attempt to allow cither his vessel or a boat's crew to endeavour to communicate. To this decision he was in some degree reconciled by the that depots containing provisions, slops, guns, anmunii ion, ic., are publicly advertised as having been for some time e?tablished on various parts of the islands for shipwrecked mariners, and that they arc every now and then visited by vessels of one kind and another, under the direction of tho New Zealand Government, with a view to their replenishment, and the rescue of the unfortunates who mav have landed there.

SUPPOSED WRECK OF THE AFRICAN | AND LOSS OF TWO LIVES. Inforination was received in town on .Saturday that leads us to fear that the cutter African has been wrecked on the coast, and that those 011 board may have been lost. The African, which is a small cutter, left the North Shore about eleven o'clock on the morning of the 27th ultimo, having on board two men named William Coolie an I Will am Dixton, their destination being Wangaproa, which, all being well, they ought to have reached in a very feiv hours. iTr. Ralph Duure anired in Auckland duriiv_ !,he forenoon of to-dny, and reported that up to yesterday the African had not reached Wfingapoa, and that it was very much feared that she had been wrecked. Nothing had been heard of the two men on board, but it is Tory probable that they may yet turn up all buio and sound. V\ lien the vessel left tho North Shore a reiy strong gale was blowing from the westward, ond it is possible that- upon getting round the North Head she may hare been blown across towards Rangitoto or Wailieke, and been , compelled to take shelter under tho I lee of one or other of the islands. Had she successfully 'weathered the beads she would probably hare been enabled to make Wangaproa in safety and in a very tliort time, as the water to the eastward, in that direction, is, comparatively, sheltered from westerly winds. The men may, however, have put into one of the numerous harbours this side of Wangaproa, and so be all safe, which will probably be known for certain in n day or two. Should nothing definite b« kn-isvu hy to-(laj ttc should think that. Z\lir. Inspector B rob aril will sene 1 . the police-boat on a cruiso in eoarcli of tho Missing boat end its crow.
