MELBOURNE.
October 21. A heavy southerly gale, accompanied with much rain, was experienced in the harbor and on the coast generally last night. Thirty small crafts were sunk or beached near Sandridge. Heavy rain also fell at several inland towns, and at Ramsey, thirty-nine miles of that city, four inches of snow fell. October 22. As the steamship Rotorua, which had just arrived from the Bluff, was proceeding to the wharf yesterday, she fouled the "Anchor" dredge. She has since been docked, and it has been ascertained that all her propeller blades are broken, and the rudder damaged. Her departure is indefinitely postponed, as considerable repairs are necessary.
