The brigantine Sea Bird, for Melbourne, and the Parana, for Lyttelton, were towed to oca last evening by the steam-tug Gee!she s.s. Storm Bird left the Molyneux at 12.30 yesterday, experienced strong northerly breezes and heavy sea during the passage, and arrived at Port Chalmers at midnight with a cargo of produce. The topsail schooner Spec, Captain Pratt, arrived from Pelorus Sound last evening, with 24,000 feet of timber consigned to Messrs Guthrie and Co., and reports sailing for this port on the sth inst. in company with the schooner Cora. A continuation of head winds were met with, during which the schooner was hove to; light variable winds followed to arrival. The s.s. Maori arrived this morning from Lyttelton and intermediate ports, with passengers and cargo, and was placed alongside the ship Wild Deer to discharge cargo. The scheme of the Cape Steam Company, of which Sir Spencer Robinson and Mr J. Reid, C.8., are the leading spirits, provides for the construct 1 on of say six powerful and swift steamers of 4000 tons, each carrying sufficient coal for the whole voyage, yet having room left for 2000 tons of cargo, and ample accommodation for the vessels company, and a large number of travellers of various classes. The ships, it is stated, would be made on the Clyde by the eminent builders of the Cunardlineof packets. It is supposed that the sort of craft needed would each cost between LIOO,OOO and L 160.000, and the statement published mentions 45 days as the interval between starting from an English port and reaching the terminus ; but good authorities in Melbourne consider the estimate is too sanguine, and that 48 days is more likely to be the time occupied in making the run out.
