After towing up the brigantine Sea Gull, the Geelong steamed alongside the ship Parsee and towed her down to the lower anchorage. She proceeds to San Francisco. This morning the tug Geelong proceeded down to the Heads, and towed up the brigantine Seagull, which left this port for the -Bljiff on the 7th inst, but, on account of the severe gale then blowing, she was compelled to anchor at the Heads the same evening. Since then she has made three attempts to proceed on her voyage, having twice got as far as Coal Point, and on the third occasion only as far as the Ocean Beach. On Monday the brig William Oundell arrived from Newcastle, and in round-utg-to ahead of the brigantine, came across the bows of the latter, and carried away ber cut-water, besides doing other damage, thus compelling the Seagull to return to port for repairs. Captain Bern reports at the Heads "the William Cundell, from Newcastle, and a brigantine, supposed to be the Moa, which vessel has lost an anchor and chain during the heavy S.W. gale. • $ ■

THE STRANDED VESSELS AT O AMARU. On Saturday we (‘ North Otago Times ’) paid a visit to the schooner United Brothers, and found her high up on the beach, with her stem to the S.O.E. Anyone taking a look at the vessel as she now lies, would wonder how she was ever kept afloat at all. The stem post is almost entirely rotten, and the deck looks as if so many rats had been eating holes in it. Here you find a hole filled up with cement, and thate another filled in with tallow; in fact one of the mensaid ‘ as fast as we pumped the water out of the hold it ran back again through the holes m the deck. If there is an officer appointed by Government to inspect vessels in Port Chalmers we wonder where his eyes were whqn he allowed such a vessel as the United Brothers to go to sea. Mr Jackson, who launched the 3&nulous, has got the contract for L 230 for launching the Brothers and taking her to Port Chalmers. On Sunday afternoon at half flood the Emulous was safely launched, and a compass having been obtained from one of the vessels in Ime roads, she, later in the evening, under the direction of Captain Sewell, started with a fair wind to Port Chalmers. She made within jight miles of the Heads; £here encountered the full force of the gale, and having lost the one smt of sails, she has returned to Oamaru and anchored. Yesterday her only anchor parted, and she went on the beach about a mile south of where the Brothers lies,'and three miles n ? r rr°, f *} ie 1 landin g P lace - Jacks m Brothers, ot Port Chalmers, are heavy losers by this untoward accident, as their contract was for the delivery of the vessel at Port Chalmers
