The following vessels, bound for Southern Ports, were to-tiny at anchor outside th« Heads, viz., Dagmar, Fanny, Flying Squirrel, Eliza M’Phee, Pioneer, and the James laxThe barque Brunette, for Sydney, sailed this forenoon. . , The schooner Awarau, from the B utt, and the ketch Huonßell, from Gatlin’s River, arrived this forenoon. The brigantine Emulous, for the BJutt, left the Heads yesterday and proceeded on her voyAjjc. The Wave Queen, an iron ship of 853 tons, registered tonungo, was yesterday unmoored from the stream, and by the aid of the p.s. Golden Age and Clutha. was towed alongside the new Railway Jetty, to discharge her cargo of railway plant. The Wave Queen is the first vessel of size that has been alongside this jetty, and was drawing about 17 feet of water, which is about the average depth, at low tide, where the ship has been moored. There is also the advantage of a soft mud bottom. The jetty, though rapidly advancing, is yet far from complete, as very little planking has yet been laid. The Government flag-staffs hoisted the Union Jack, and a champagne spread was provided on the jetty yesterday in honor of the event. The capture of a large black whale, estimated to yield nine tuns of oil, was effected yesterday by Bardshaw’s party, about seven miles from the Heads. The whale was chased by two boats. That steered by George Robertson succeeded in killing it, when it was taken it tow. It was towed by the two boats’ crews to the Kaik, where it will be tryed out. The value of this capture will be enhanced by the quantity of bone it will yield, the whale being of that description know as the “right” whale
