As a consequence, such very fine ships as the Thomas Stephens, Dharwar, Patterdale Clanranald, Marpesia, City of Delhi, and City m A^’6 “ B rire proceeding'elsewhere for cargoes. Two or three of these vessels will clear out for India direct, in ballast, and the others will go -on to Newcastle, N.S.W., to load coal either for . India or‘ San Francisco. It is said that vessels are also clearing out from Adelaide in ballast, in preference, to accepting the low rates ruling there. ARRIVAL OF THE SCIMITAR. ~ ft l * 3 morning a ship was signalled at the Heads, and the tug . Geelong; after towin°to sea the Jessie Readmari, prepaved to brin° tip the stranger; but she got a fine N.E, breeze Which enabled her to get fairly inside the Meads before the tug. The Geeloug then took charge, of her, and brought her up to the Ground, she having sickness; on P°ar,(L She turned out tp be the Scimitar—the vessel it will.be recollected, that sailed with the remainder of the : passengers’intended for the Mongol, arid about whose passengers there wasconsiderable anxiety in consequence of the Bickness prevalent at the depot at Plyolorith—after Smart run of 70 days. As soon as she ; was anchored, the Health and Clearing Officers, accompanied by the Press representatives, went down to her in : the s. s ,.

There Was also one accident on the voyage—the sailmaker fell down the. hatchway on Tuesday last - and broke his leg.\. We have to thank Captain- Fox for the following report of his passage:—The Scimitar left Plymouth on the 24th of December, and the next day took her departure from the Eddystpne light, which was lost sight off shortly after daylight. She then knocked about a week before getting favorable winds, afterwards made a splendid passage to .Tristan D’Acunha, where she called and took on board a supply of fresh meat and poultry, the line being reached on the 20th day from Plymouth. Had splendid trades each side of the line, and from the meridian of the Cape’ splendid westerlies. Made an average of 1,800 per week, her easting being run down in 41 S. ; had splendid weather, with scarcely a shower of rain,, till making the Snares at 3 p.m. on the 3rd instant, after which she had heavy ■S.
