The favourite clipper Novelty, Captain Nearing, arrived off the North Head last evening, from Sydney, having left that port on the 18th ultimo. She brings a cargo of general merchandisp, and several passengers. Captain Nearing report? a succession of gales from S.E. to N.E., with a very high sea for eleven days, thencr variable winds to the Kings, which were passed on Thursday morning. Had strong N.W. winds and dirty weather down ths coast, anchoring off the Heads at 6 p.m. Passengers—Mr. Blanche, and two steerage. Tbe Novelty passed the Hero about 10 miles south of the North Cape on Thursday, at 2.30 p.m., and the o.s. Nebraska off the Cavalier Island at 8.3 l,; in. same day.

Cotjj?ion.—As the schooner Clyde, Capt. Anderson, wa9 leaving the harbour last evening she came in collision with the barque Novelty, anchored off trie North Head. It appears that at -about eight o'clock, as th<= schooner was dropping down with tbe tide, she endeavoured to cross the bows of the barque, but there beinj scarcely a breath of wind, and the tide running very strong, she was unable to clear tbe barque, and came athwart the hawse, carrying away a considerable portion of the Novelty's head gear, also splitting the mainsail and carrying awai some of the main digging of the Clyde. When the tide made the schooner got clear, anr 7 will probably leave again for Wangarei to day.
