The barque Nightingale, 240 tons, Captain M'Phadin, arrived in port this morning with a cargo of Jarrah timber, from Freemantle. This shipment, as others to follow, will, we believe, be used in constructing the new railway jetty at Port Chalmers. The barque brings intelligence of the safe arrival of the barque Midas, at Freemantle, after a protracted passage of 98 days from this port. This unusually long passage is attributed to a continuation of adverse gales. bo accident of any kind has been reported on the passage. The barque Eleanor, from Newcastle, coal laden, arrived at the Heads this morning, and sailed up to an anchorage at 1.30 this afternoon. The ketch Kedcliffe sailed last evening. A quotation by the Daily Times this morning from a Perth paper of a paragraph concerning the barque Midas, is likely to cause unnecessary alarm ; and we have been requested by Messrs Connor and M'Kay, the vessel’s charterers, to state that news received by the Nightingale reports the Midas as loading at Geographic Bay for Lyttelton.
