The Port Phillip mail did not arrive on
Saturday, being the fourth week in succession that it has failed.
The Government ought to have sent an express to Port Phillip a fortnight
since. The inconvenience, the serious injury that has occurred from
the delays that have taken place, are beyond calculation.
THE STEAMER ‘NATIVE’—The new steamer, Native,
about to run to and from Parramatta, the dimensions of which we
have already given, was plying about the harbour on a trial trip
yesterday with a number of ladies and gentlemen on board. She is
a very pretty model, and seems to go very fast. A somewhat novel
system is adopted in steering her, as the wheel is in the fore
part of the vessel, with leading ropes to the tiller aft; this
enables the helmsman to have a better view ahead, and seems to
answer well.
The steamer Sovereign has spoken nothing since leaving Moreton
Bay. Captain Coffin, of the American ship Thule, also the second
and third mates, with a portion of the crew, have arrived in Sydney
by the Sovereign. The third night after leaving the vessel, the
boats got among the breakers on Cato’s Bank and as the chief
mate’s boat was not in company the next morning, it is supposed
she must have received some damage, which compelled them to land,
as they had not reached Moreton Bay when the Sovereign left.
The Giraffe, which has been rigged as a barque for some time past,
is now altered to a brig.
|
|
The schooner Elizabeth arrived on Tuesday,
from the Richmond, with a cargo of cedar, and a portion of the
wreck of the Clarence whaler. On the 9th Sept she spoke the barque
Mary, McDonald, between Wreck Reef and Cato’s Shoal, with
1400 barrels of sperm oil on board and two whales alongside which
they were then cutting in and trying out.
WHALING NEWS—The Lady Blackwood, Capt Butcher, from Sydney,
23rd June 1843, put into Port Stephens on the 7th inst, with 320
barrels sperm oil on board. The owners have sent orders for her
to come on to Sydney to refresh, to enable her to proceed on the
voyage; some of the crew being sick with scurvy. She has not seen
any whalers since last reported.
NEW ZEALAND—By the arrival of the Ariel, we have received
the following news from New Zealand—Captain Wakefield had
returned from Nelson to Port Nicholson per schooner Sisters, having
paid off all the labourers around Nelson, in accordance with peremptory
orders received from the New Zealand Company. A meeting of the
chief settlers in Nelson had been held for the purpose of employing
those who were suddenly thrown out of employment. The schooner
Oratava was at Cloudy Bay on the 21st Sept and was about to leave
for Sydney, via Nelson. The Raymond was about to proceed along
the coast to load for London. The brig Eleanor had left for Akaroa
and Pakaki, to load with oil for Sydney.
The Mary White left on Wednesday for Adelaide via Port Phillip
having on board the
Right Rev Dr Murphy. The Rose steamer towed her outside the Heads,
on board of which there were about 300 people, who had engaged the
steamer for the occasion, as a testimonial of respect to the reverend
gentleman. |

THE STEAMER ‘ROSE’—Owing to the non-arrival
of the Rose on Tuesday night, some anxiety has been entertained for
her safety. She arrived however at the wharf on Thursday night about
7 o’clock; Capt Pattison states that he was abreast of the
Heads on Tuesday night, at 10 o’clock, when the weather became
so thick and the gale increased to such a degree that not being able
to make the lights, he considered it prudent to bear up for Newcastle,
where they arrived at six o’clock the next morning. |
|
THE LATE GALE—
The gale of wind which has raged for the last
two days is considered to be the fiercest which has occurred since
the loss of the Edward Lombe, on Middle Head, in August 1834. Most
of the vessels anchored in the Stream drifted, and were compelled
to let go the second anchor. The steamer James Watt drifted from
her moorings in Johnson’s Bay and was nearly on the south
point of Balmain, when Capt Allen and the crew of the Tamar got
on board with spare anchors and chains, and at length re-moored
her between Boyd’s Wharf and Balmain. The steamers Sophia
Jane and Tamar did not make their usual trip to the Hunter, on
Tuesday night, and did not leave until Friday evening. About four
o’clock on Tuesday afternoon two of the South Head pilots,
Messrs Gibson and Jackson, left the Dockyard in their boats, with
the intention of proceeding to Watson’s Bay; when near abreast
of Pinchgut, a sudden squall struck Mr Jackson’s boat (having
himself, two men and a boy in her) when she immediately capsized.
All hands stuck to the boat and after about 40 minutes, when their
strength was nearly exhausted, they were luckily seen from the
Garland Grove when a boat was instantly manned and repaired to
their assistance arriving just in time to rescue them from drowning.
After landing Mr Jackson, the lad and one of the men on Pinchgut,
they returned to the boat with the intention of towing her in shore,
but the gale was by this time at its height, and they could make
no head-way against it and stood away for the North Shore, and
took refuge in Mossman’s Bay; and they returned to the ship
on Thursday morning. The following letter has been forwarded for
insertion:-
“To Captain Robson of the ship Garland Grove—Sir,--I
lose not a moment in thanking you for the reception which I received
this morning on board your ship, and also in acknowledging the
timely assistance which was rendered to me by part of your crew
when I was upset by a sudden gust of wind, close to your vessel,
yesterday afternoon. To the promptness with which the boat was
dispatched, I feel myself bound to say that I owe my own preservation
of life as well as that of my boat’s crew; and I feel in
duty bound to make this public acknowledgement of your kindness
and attention through the medium of the Sydney Morning Herald—I
have the honour to be, Sir, ever yours gratefully, Robert A. Jackson—October
16th, 1844”.
As nothing was seen of Mr Gibson, after the
squall, fears were entertained that his boat had shared the same
fate, but we are informed that he landed at Watson’s Bay about
an hour after the accident, quite unconscious of what had occurred. |
|
PORT PHILLIP—ARRIVAL
Sept 22—Abberton, barque, 450 tons, Campbell, from Cork
1st June. Cabin passengers—Mr Bryant, Mr and Mrs Midley,
five children and two servants, Mr Rucker, Mr Colin Campbell and
Mr Berry, Dr Waring, Surgeon Superintendent; steerage—156
adults, 81 children, 1-14 years and 15 infants.
THE SCHOONER ‘VIXEN’—This vessel sails tomorrow
for Tahiti. She is very much improved by being converted from a
cutter to a schooner. Mr Imlay goes in her to the Islands—Southern
Cross, Sept 7.
The Jane anchored in Watson’s Bay last evening, and will
sail again in a few days having only called in to land a portion
of her crew, who are in a state of insubordination.
The Governor Phillip, from Norfolk Island, brings little news.
The only vessel which had touched there since our last report was
the Arabian, with 100 barrels sperm oil on board. The weather had
been extremely favourable at Norfolk Island for agricultural pursuits
and the crops promised to be very prolific. The island was in a
perfect state of tranquility.
The schooner Shamrock from Sydney 26th Aug, arrived Auckland 18th
ult. The schooner John Pirie from Adelaide arrived there on 17th
Sept. The schooner I Don’t Know left Auckland on 18th Sept
for the southern coast, to load with oil for Sydney. HMS
Hazard had proceeded up the river to be hove down, and was about to undergo
a thorough repair. It was expected that Auckland would be declared
a free port on 20th Sept, as the Governor had called a meeting
of the Council on that day, supposed to be for that purpose.
HMS Vindictive—The Vindictive, 50, Capt J Toup Nicolas,
was at Callao, in the beginning of February. She had a trial of
sailing with the American frigates Constellation and United
States.
All the three vessels were on a bowling, with courses, top sails,
top gallant sails, and royals set, and in a run of about seven
hours the Vindictive gained nearly eight miles upon the United
States, and left the Constellation topsails down astern—Falmouth
Packet, June 8.
ENGLISH SHIPPING—The Standerings arrived at Gravesend on
5th June. The Clarendon left Leith for Sydney direct on 1st June.
The Duke of Roxburgh, from Hobart Town, arrived Gravesend 5th June.
Owing to the prevalence of easterly winds in the channel, the Lords
of the Admiralty had dispatched several vessels with provisions &c
for the relief of the homeward bound vessels. The Calcutta was
to leave London for Hobart Town on 7th July. The Reward, from Port
Phillip 8th Jan, was off Plymouth 29th May.
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE—
The Canton from Hongkong and the Candahar from Calcutta touched at the Cape on 24th June on their passage
to London. The brig City of Sydney, Capt Williams, from Mauritius
29th June, arrived at the Cape on 26th July—passengers—Mesdms
Chancey and Williams, Capt Ferguson, Messrs Peters and Davey; 3
in steerage. She left again for the Mauritius on 16th Aug. The
brig Bristolian, of Bristol, Capt Cook, bound to Ichaboe for guano,
ran ashore in thick weather about 80 miles to the southward of
Angra I’iquena, and became a total wreck; the crew, after
remaining some days near the wreck, fitted out the longboat, and
arrived safe at Ichaboe. The John Williams, barque, 300 tons, R
C Morgan, from London June 6, and the Downs June 17, arrived at
the Cape on 24th Aug, cargo sundries. Passengers—for the
Cape—Mrs Brown, 2 children, Rev Mr Phillips, Messrs O’Brien
and Brown and one servant. For Van Diemen’s Land, Mesdms
Pike, Gibson, Gill, Powell and Sutherland; Misses Buff and Cridley;
Messrs Gill, Stevens, Powell, Heath and Sutherland; two natives
of the Society Islands and one child.
DANGEROUS POSITION OF FOUR WRECKS AT THE ISLE OF FRANCE— “ To
Rear Admiral the Honorable J Percy, C.B., Commander-in-Chief. HMS
Isis, Port Louis, 4th May 1844. Sir,--Four ships have been wrecked
on the Coral Reefs off the entrance of Port Louis Harbour, their
hulls still lying conspicuous, even at night, I have transmitted
you a statement of their position from the Bell Buoy, in order
that any ship making the harbour at night may not mistake them
for ships at anchor.—I have, &c., John Marshall, Captain.
Compass bearings and distance of the Bell Buoy from the wrecks
of Port Louis Harbour: Hugh Mattie, N ½ W about ½ mile;
Menai, NNE about ½ mile; Surat
Merchant, SW ½ S,
about 1 ¾ or 2 miles; American Whaler, SW ½ W, about
1 ½ mile.
THE BARQUE ‘MARGARET’—
Death of Captain Northwood—A
letter has been received in Sydney from Mrs Northwood, dated St
Jago’s 19th May, wherein the following account of the death
of Capt Northwood (who took the Royal George from Sydney to London
after the death of Capt Richards) is recorded.
“The Margaret, of London, commanded by
Captain Northwood, had been some time on the coast of Africa in
search of guano, and
eventually put into the Bay of Anguin, to obtain the manure from
a small island. It was found upon entering the bay that the depth
of water was so small, that the ship could not get within thirty
miles of the island; the long boat and pinnace were then lowered,
the former commanded by the captain, and the other by the second
officer; the chief mate being left with a portion of the crew in
charge of the ship. Both boats were well armed and upon arriving
at their destination all hands were busily engaged in loading them;
but they had not been digging above half an hour before a number
of natives rushed on them and compelled them, after some resistance,
to leave the island. About an hour afterwards they were pursued
by five large canoes, having about 70 men in each; a sharp fire
was kept up on both sides, but a hurricane coming on at the time,
the longboat swamped and went down, taking with her Captain Northwood
and six of the crew. The second mate was so closely pursued that
he could render no assistance and, after standing to sea, reached
the Margaret two days after, when the melancholy intelligence was
imparted to Mrs Northwood who was on board.”

The Greenlaw will be towed to sea to-morrow morning
by the steamer Corsair. A large party is expected to accompany
her to the Heads.
No news had been received of the missing boat belonging to the
whaler Thule.
SOUTH BRISBANE—The South Brisbanites being determined not
to be entirely left in the back ground, convened a public meeting
on the 17th instant for the purpose of taking the necessary steps
to build a landing wharf on the south side of the river, there
being no place at present where a vessel can lay conveniently alongside
to discharge cargo, and which has hitherto been a great drawback
to that portion of the township. The greater portion of the meeting
consisted of hard-working and industrious tradesmen who have embarked
their earnings in the purchase of allotments at South Brisbane.
However £50 were subscribed on the spot, and I have no doubt
if the Government will, through Captain Wickham, the Police Magistrate,
give a frontage to the river as a reserve, a substantial wharf will
be immediately created without one farthing expense to the Government,
and of great public utility—Correspondent.
The Martha and Elizabeth arrived early yesterday morning from
Port Phillip, and the following report has been furnished by Captain
Devlin :-- Friday, Oct 18, noon, exchanged numbers with the barque
Mary White from Sydney, Port Phillip Heads bearing NNE six miles
distant. Saturday 19, spoke the brig John and Charlotte from Port
Albert, bound to Hobart Town, Hogan’s Group bearing SSE distance
eight miles. Tuesday 22, spoke the brig Dorset from Sydney, bound
to Adelaide, Cape Dromedary bearing SW forty miles. Same day spoke
the brig Soundraporvy bound to London in latitude 36° 11’ south,
long. 151° 8’ east, apparently going the western passage
by the way of the Cape of Good Hope.
The brig Henry, Capt Tregurtha,
from Launceston, had arrived at Auckland before the Shamrock left.
HMS Hazard had been repaired, and was ready for sea. The Caernarvon,
whaler, was lying at the Bay of Islands, and would proceed to the
Whaling Grounds in a few days. The Nelson, from London, was lying
at New Plymouth. The natives at the Bay had resumed their depredations;
John Heke had called an assemblage of the neighbouring tribes,
and had sent word to the inhabitants of the township that they
should visit them in a day or two, and cut down the flag-staff
again. They had been at Capt Wright’s station, and stolen
8 horses. Another party had broken into the jail, and robbed the
jailer of money and wearing apparel. At Waiamate, the tribe belonging
to the chief William Ripper, had also commenced their depredations;
five of them broke into the house of a person called Smith, during
the night, and not contented with taking the bedding and other
movable articles, broke open the chest, and either carried off
or destroyed the contents.
The Columbine has not seen any vessels since leaving Vavao. HMS
North Star touched there on 8th August and had gone to the Navigators;
she had been on a sunken reef between Tongataboo and the Harpies,
where she carried away her false keel and part of the fore-foot,
and it was expected that she would have to come on to Sydney to
be repaired.
A letter has been received in Sydney from a passenger on board
the Herald, which vessel left this place for London
on 22nd March. The letter is dated Pernambuco, June 3rd, in which
it is stated that they had arrived there on the 1st. The Kelso,
from Sydney 27th Feb, had also been into Pernambuco, and resumed
her voyage on 20th May. The Herald passed the Midlothian off the
Falkland Islands; they had been five days among the ice, and had
fallen in with an unusual quantity of icebergs for about a fortnight
before.
The Chance spoke the Mary White on the 16th inst, to the westward
of Kent’s Group. Spoke the Cheviot of Hobart Town, off the
Dromedary, six months out, with 900 barrels oil on board. A new
Governor had arrived at Manila from Cadiz. Mr Morrison, owner of
the brig Amelia, lately lost in the Straits of St Bernardino, reports
that shortly after leaving the wreck they fell in with the Merope,
Capt Hogg of Sydney 14 months out, with 500 barrels sperm oil on
board. She had been into Manila a short time before to refresh.
The Portenia brings little news of importance. She spoke a vessel
belonging to India in the Straits of Sunda, but did not ascertain
her name; she had then on board a boat’s crew belonging to
the Gondolier, which vessel has been already reported a total wreck,
on the Marquis of Hastings Shoal. The Trusty from Adelaide had
taken in a cargo of sugar and coffee at Batavia, and left for London
on the 17th August. The Mona was loading there for England.

the latter was to leave 15th Aug. The Cygnet, Royal
George, Rajah and Madras were laid on for Port Phillip. The Agincourt, Capt Keatby,
had been taken up to convey convicts to Norfolk Island. The William
Jardine, Emily and Lord Auckland were about to leave with convicts
for Hobart Town. The Madras was loading for Adelaide, and the Sarah
Scott was also laid on for the same place. The Janet, from Hobart
Town to London, had been spoken in lat. 18° S, long. 26° W;

ICE BERGS—The Clarendon, on her way to this port fell in
with several ice bergs, on 12th Sept, in lat. 37° S and long.
25° E., 9 were of enormous size, one of them in particular
which was upwards of 150 feet high; they were drifting in a northerly
direction. It was most remarkable that while the ship was surrounded
with ice, the temperature of the air was 58° and in the water
65°.
SHIPS FOR HOME—It is generally supposed in the
mercantile world, that much difficulty will arise in
getting a sufficient number of vessels to convey our
produce to Europe. Advertisements have already appeared
in the Sydney journals, inviting tenders for conveying
freight from this port to London. Upon enquiry we learn,
that many masters of vessels in Sydney, unacquainted
with this circumstance, had been induced to charter their
vessels for a low rate, to proceed in ballast to the
west coast of South America, and there to load for the
ports of London and Liverpool; upon becoming known several
captains were almost induced to forfeit their charter
penalty, and come down here—Port Phillip Gazette,
Oct 23.
The Dublin being the London Packet for the 1st July,
has brought a large mail. She spoke with nothing on the
passage connected with these colonies, but fell in with
several large icebergs. The Ocean from Sydney, arrived
in the Downs on 26th June.
THE MISSIONARY BARQUE “JOHN WILLIAMS”—It
will be remembered by most of our readers, that the expense
of building this fine vessel was raised by subscription
by children attending Sunday schools in England. Reports
had reached Sydney of her being a superior vessel, and
upon inspection she exceeds what was anticipated. She
was launched at Harwich on 20th March 1844 in the presence
of a vast concourse of people, notwithstanding the morning
was very wet and cold. The children and teachers of the
Sabbath school in connexion with the Wesleyan congregation
of the town were also present. From Harwich the John
Williams was taken to London to be fitted out, where
the young ladies of Wycliffe Chapel presented Captain
Morgan with a handsome flag, bearing the name of the
ship, and the dove bearing an olive branch, as an emblem
of peace. The dimensions of the vessel are 103 feet over
all, 24 feet 8 inches in breadth and 16 feet depth of
hold, the measurement of her being 296 tons. Her saloon
is lofty and spacious, and she has also ten large State-rooms,
which are commodiously fitted up. She is a very fast
sailer, and her rigging, spars, sails, boats &c are
of the very best description. This is the third ship
which the Missionary Society has had. The first was the
Duff, Captain James Wilson, which sailed from England
for the South Sea Islands in August 1796. On board her
were twenty-nine Missionaries, some of whom were married,
and had large families; they arrived in Tahiti in the
following March, where eighteen were landed, and the
remainder were taken on to Tongataboo. The Duff returned
to England by the way of Canton in 1798 and left again
with about the same number of Missionaries in December
of that year, when she was captured by a French privateer
called the Buonaparte, in February 1799 off South America.
After the capture of this vessel the Society had none
of their own until 1838; the schooner Messenger
of Peace,
built at Raratonga in 1827, having belonged to Mr Williams;
and when the news of her loss reached England, the directors
of the Missionary Society resolved on purchasing a ship
entirely for the use of their missions in the South Seas.
A subscription was raised for this purpose to the amount
of £4000, with which the brig Camden was bought,
and fitted out in 1838, at an expense of £250 extra.
After being actively engaged for five years in these
seas, she returned to England, and being considered too
small for the purposes required, was sold. It was then
resolved to obtain a larger one, and for that purpose,
an appeal was made to the juvenile friends of the Society,
by whom £6237 were paid to the Treasurer. With
that sum the John Williams has been bought and fitted
out.
THE FIRST WHALER FROM HAMBURGH—A Hamburgh letter
states,--“The first whaler ever fitted out at this
port has just sailed for the South Polar Seas. She is
called the Anseat and measures 650 tons. The crew have
engaged to abstain from spirituous liquors, and to be
content with two rations of coffee a day. It appears
that temperance is much more necessary on board whalers
than any other ships; it having been proved by experience
that nine-tenths of the diseases and deaths on board
the Danish and Swedish whalers have been caused by the
excessive use of spirituous liquors.”
The Lanchester put into Porto Praya,
where she remained three days; a Portugese man-of-war
brig was lying there
at the time, having been dismasted in a gale of wind;
she was about to return to Portugal, although they had
only been on the station a few weeks; her name was not
known. The Lanchester called at George Town, Van Diemen’s
Land, where she landed the following passengers—Mr
and Mrs Barker, Junior, Mrs Barker, Mr Barker and Miss
Eldridge; they were going on to Port Phillip by the first
opportunity. The Lanchester left Launceston Heads a few
hours after the Martha; and shortly after getting into
the Straits a gale of wind sprung up which obliged them
to shorten sail, when Alexander Fullerton (carpenter)
and Robert Shribbs (seaman) fell overboard whilst endeavouring
to stow the jib. Luckily the vessel was pitching heavily
at the time, and Shribbs contrived to get hold of the
bight of the cable, which protruded through the hawse-hole,
and hauled himself on board again. The carpenter was
not so fortunate, and although several ropes were thrown
to him he was drowned, the weather being too boisterous
to lower a boat. Captain Purchase reports the following
vessels:--August 1. Robert Ingram, from London to the
Cape of Good Hope, in lat. 5° north, long. 17° west.
August 2nd spoke the Clarendon, from Leith, bound to
Port Phillip, lat. 5° north, long. 17° west.
August 3, McLeod, brig, from Marseilles, bound to the
Mauritius, lat. 4° 33’ N, long. 18° W.
Sept 12, in lat 40°S, long 26°E, fell in with
a very large iceberg. Sept 26 spoke the Asia from London,
with troops for Calcutta; she had been into Plymouth
two cases of the small pox having occurred on board;
she also reported having fallen in with 6 large icebergs
in lat. 39°S and between 23° and 26° E long.

was reported at Liverpool, on the 6th July. The Morayshire, from

at Gravesend on 6th July. The Clara, hence 21st Feb and the Salus,
13th Feb arrived in the Downs on the 8th July. The Fortitude, hence

Sarah Birkett was to leave Liverpool for Sydney direct on 20th
Aug. The Colombian had been taken off the berth pro
tem, to undergo repairs. The Calcutta left Gravesend for Hobart Town
on the 10th July. The Jane, for Hobart Town, sailed on the 17th and
the Thomas Hughes, for Port Phillip, on 18th July. The Brankenmoor,
from Launceston, was off Penzance, on 17th July. The Parkfield, from

The schooner Elizabeth, Capt Riley, left on Sunday last for the
Brampton Shoal, with workmen and apparatus, to endeavour to get
the Clarence off, and bring her on to Sydney.
The American barque Columbus has not met with any success since
leaving New Bedford; she was cruising for two months off the Azores,
or Western Islands and on the 6th June, in lat. 39° 18’N,
long. 27° 50’W, fell in with a British built brig, with
her masts and bulwarks carried away; she was water-logged and apparently
loaded with lumber. It was supposed that she had been boarded,
as the mainmast was lying fore and aft the deck, but the rigging
had been stripped off. Upon the taffrail the letters VHLVFNBJHM
were scratched, but no name could be made out, as the hull was
covered with barnacles. The Columbus intended putting into Hobart
Town to repair some damage which she sustained off St Paul’s,
but having been blown off the land, stood for Sydney; she will
remain here a few days.
The Agincourt, convict ship, with Barber and Fletcher on board,
and upwards of 300 other convicts, left Woolwich for Norfolk Island
on Monday morning last, at six o’clock. The Lord
Auckland,
for the penal settlements with a similar number of convicts, left
the same port on Wednesday. The William Jardine, having on board
318 convicts (male and female) from the New Model Prison, Pentonville,
is on the eve of departure. Dr Hampton is transferred from the
Lord Auckland to the latter vessel, to watch the progress of certain
sanatory measures, to be tried as experimental, with a view to
the guidance of government with reference to cases of transportation—Lloyd’s
Weekly Journal, July 14.
BURNING OF THE “MADRAS” TRANSPORT SHIP OFF DEPTFORD
DOCKYARD—On Tuesday morning, at two o’clock, the barque
Madras, 331 tons register, an old vessel built at Whitehaven in
1827, since which time she has been kept in repair by her master
and owner (Capt Kitchen) was discovered to be on fire whilst moored
off the Government Dockyard, at Deptford. The flames are supposed
to have originated by combustion among the miscellaneous Government
stores, of which there were eighty tons on board for Ascension
Island. Sir John Hill, the captain-superintendent of the dockyard,
immediately ordered the large floating engine to be taken alongside
the burning vessel, manned by 50 Royal Marines and 50 policemen
and labourers; but although the hold was inundated with water,
the flames were so overpowering, that it was deemed prudent to
haul her into the middle of the river, so as to scuttle her. In
doing this, she unfortunately broke away, and drifted athwart the
General Steam Navigation Company’s steamers at Deptford and
a host of Dutch galliots. The confusion and alarm then became double,
and several poor Dutch seamen fell overboard and were nearly drowned,
as was the case with a few of the marines, by falling from the
engine. At length she was securely scuttled in shallow water, and
necessary arrangements have been made to raise her by chain lighters,
her depth being at high water four fathoms, right abreast of the
Watergate, Deptford. Mr Somes, the extensive shipowner, was at
first wrongly reported to be her owner, but she wholly belongs
to Captain Kitchen, who was to have resigned the command of his
barque to Mr Bagley, long the chief officer. The Madras is fully
insured in one of the London offices; a partial loss will, however,
under the circumstances of the case, fall on the owner—Observer,
July 14.

The cutter Domain, Captain Anderson, put back to port yesterday
for provisions, this being the third time since leaving port she
has been compelled to put back through stress of weather, though

Fairy, her port of destination. The Domain originally sailed for
Port Fairy, Portland, and Adelaide, on the 16th ult, with 36 passengers,
chiefly for Port Fairy, all of whom re-embark this evening to renew
the attempt to conquer the obstinacy of the winds and waves. Capt
Anderson, who has served a long apprenticeship to the sea-faring
trade, states, that he has never before experienced such tempestuous
weather, but his little vessel has heavily stood the trial, and
the passengers, notwithstanding the unexpected length of their
voyage, express themselves well satisfied, both with the vessel
and the treatment they have received.—Port Phillip Patriot,

a similar one upon their landing at the Circular Wharf.
The Agincourt arrived at Norfolk Island, on the 9th instant, and
remained there 3 days, during which time she landed 220 prisoners;
two died on the passage, and one escaped at the Cape of Good Hope.
There were three other deaths, one soldier and two prisoners. A
whaling brig was off the Island on the 12th instant.
The Potomac of Nantucket, was spoken by the steamer Rose, off
Bird Island yesterday.
VESSELS LOADING FOR ENGLAND—The Lanchester will be the next
vessel for London, and as she is about to take on board the sperm
oil imported by the Mary, it is considered that she will sail on
or before the 26th proximo. The Templar and the St
George will sail
about the 9th January. The other vessels on the berth are taking
in their dead weight fast, but will not sail for some time to come,
as the wool is arriving very slowly from the interior. |

THE SHIPPING—our port is now exhibiting a bustling and animated

exclusively with our own produce, it is, indeed, a cause of congratulation.
The Symmetry, 408 tons, for London, is now in an advanced state of
loading, and besides taking a full cargo, she will take many passengers,
as, we understand, eight have already engaged cabin passages. She
will sail about the 1st of Dec. The Joseph Albino, 141 tons, for
London, is nearly full, and sails, we hear on the 25th Nov. Besides
these, the following vessels have commenced loading:--The John

250 tons, for Liverpool; the Prince Albert, 195 tons, for Liverpool;

quick dispatch, as their cargoes are ready to be sent on board—South
Australian Register, Nov 9.

has only been three weeks absent from Port Phillip altogether on
her last trip, and will sail again on Tuesday next—Port Phillip
Herald.
The schooner Abercrombie is advertised for the Cape of Good Hope.
The schooner Mary Ann returned yesterday from Port Macquarie;
owing to the contrary winds, she put into Port Stephens, where
she remained three days. The steamer Sovereign, for Moreton Bay,
passed Port Stephens on Friday last, and the William the
Fourth was off there on Thursday. Several coasters were in Port Stephens,
having put in for shelter from the southerly gale. The Thistle,
George, Charles Webb, Lucy
Ann and Sisters left there for Sydney
in company with the Mary Ann. A cutter was lying in Seal Rock Bay,
with a sealing party on the rock; the seals are very plentiful
there this season, and it is considered that they will be amply
repaid for their trouble. The blacks had brought news to Port Stephens
that the schooner Sally which was driven ashore some months since
at Long Island, had been dug out of the sand by the party at work
on her, and was undergoing repairs.
The schooner Waterlily has had her top sides caulked, and will

A notice recently issued by the Admiralty to receive tenders of
a ship from 700 to 750 tons register, to convey convicts to Launceston,
has created some surprise in the City. In the first place, the notice
has been much shorter than usual; and in the next, persons of nautical
experience consider the tonnage advertised for perfectly incompatible
with the service required. Launceston, it is said, is situated up
the River Tamar, at a distance where ships even of 400 tons register
have great difficulty in going up; and if this be the case, it is
obvious that two or three small vessels, and not one of the size
advertised, should be employed. It is, we believe, the rule of office,
that no contract can be completed until a vessel is surveyed and
the survey is reported; but probably it is not part of the surveyor’s
duty to certify whether a ship of certain tonnage can navigate a
river in Van Diemen’s Land, and, therefore, practical hints
on such subjects may be useful—Times City Letter.
The brig Nelson, left Port Nicholson for London on the 7th instant,
with the following passengers—Mr and Mrs Young, Mrs Winning,
Mr B Ling, Dr Evans, Messrs Durie, Birch, Woods, Atley and Ebden.
Cargo—83 tuns black oil, 11 tons whalebone,
13 tons tanning bark, 16 logs totara, 90 tamai staves, 46 logs mairi,
57 logs mai,
and 4 logs rimu wood.
The Raymond was loading oil for London, but
it was expected that she would come on to Sydney to fill up with
wool. The schooner I Don’t Know, left Port Nicholson for the
Bay of Islands on the 2nd instant; and the cutter Katherine
Johnston,
sailed for Wanganui on the 4th. The Bee spoke nothing on the passage
up.
THE “PERSIAN”—The arrival of the Persian yesterday
set most of the citizens of Sydney on the qui vive, especially as
she was first passed up as a brig from the South Head station, owing
to her coming end on, but as soon as she hoisted her number the mistake
was rectified, and the friends of parties known to be on board speedily
embarked to welcome them upon their arrivals. The Persian has made
one of the quickest passages of the season, having completed it in
the short space of ninety-nine days, although she had to go round
Van Diemen’s Land, after making Bass’s Straits, owing
to northerly winds. Capt Mallard states that he was off Jervis Bay
on Monday last, when they encountered north-east winds. She spoke
nothing on the passage connected with the Australian colonies. Upon
discharging her inward cargo the Persian will be laid on the berth
for London. Trade was still brisk and wool maintained its price.
ENGLISH SHIPPING—The Duke of Manchester, Capt Murray, arrived
in the Downs on 30th Aug, from Jamaica, to which place she was advertised
to return, after discharging her inward cargo. The Regular, from
Port Phillip, and the Enterprise, from Hobart Town, entered inwards
in London on 28th August. The Sultana from Sydney 12th May, arrived
at Gravesend on 14th Sept. The Norwhal, from New Zealand, arrived
in the Downs on 16th Sept. The Caledonia, hence 12th May, arrived
there the same day. The Palestine had sailed for St Ubes, from whence
she would come on to Sydney via the Brazils. The overland mails per
Medusa, Bucephalus and Neptune had arrived in London prior to the
departure of the Persian. The Reflector, Withycombe, left Gravesend
for the Island of Ascension, on 30th Augt. The Morayshire for Sydney,
and the Winchester for Launceston, left the Downs on 2nd Sept. The
Brankenmoor sailed for Port Adelaide on 7th Sept and the Tasmania and Phoebe left for Hobart Town the same day. HMS
Collingwood left
Gravesend for the South American Station on 8th Sept. The Montezuma sailed for Trinidad on the 6th, the William
Wise for Adelaide on
10th and the Sir Robert Peel, for Hobart Town on 11th Sept. The Colombian had not left Liverpool for Sydney on the 16th Sept, but was expected
to sail in a few days. The Heroine was advertised in Liverpool for
Port Phillip and Sydney. The Parkfield was advertised in London for
Port Phillip via the Cape of Good Hope. The General Hewett was advertised
to sail for Sydney direct, on 15th Oct. The Emerald Isle was announced
to sail for Madras on the 5th Oct. The Kelso was advertised for Bengal,
to sail on 5th Oct. |
