Ailow mo to inform yon that she i* discharging her cargo as fast as any other ship la tbe port, and quite as fast as the “ improved appliances at command, as compared with eighteen months back” will allow. The old system of lightening was much speedier. The Christian M'Ausland has not yet been four weeks at the wharf, and has discharged about 2,000 tons of cargo. Of course we must leave somebody’s goods till the last, and which, sometimes, unfortunately are those most wanted; and hence the grumbling. As for the cargo being landed Weeks age.. which is also alluded to, some one must have had '*» droaui about it. lam quite willing to take a lesson from jsorae of the grumblers, who seem to have such notions of discharging ships. —I am, he., John Tilly, Master, Christian M'Ausland.
