The brig Transport, with a cargo of timber from Newcastle, was towed up to her anchorage yesterday afternoon by the tug Geelong after a very boisterous passage of thirty days, during which time she was hove-to for seven days owiug to the heavy gales she encountered during the passage.

The vessel was again hove-to, during which time she shipped several heavy seas, washing the crew out of the forecastle on four different occasions ; thenars on deck broke away and carried away part of the bulwarks and seriously injured one of the boys.

His Excellency the Governor has confirmed ,the senfeuee of the Heveraham Court of Inquiry, suspending Captain CtoH'b certificate for nine months from 25th June last. As considerable oouiment has been excited by this case and the apparent hardship of the sentence in the face of the siatcment maue by several sbip-mastera that a rock exists outside Tom's Bock, and th«t the Heveraham therefore miifht have been wrecked on an unknown danger, we may explain that the certificate was suspended not on account of the vessel being wrecked on any parlirular roclr, or indeed of her los 3 at all, but in consequence of the captain's failing to take the jroper crosa-bi arings aud observations, which led to her getting iuto a place where she had no business to be. Subsequent investigations appear to have placed it beyond doubt that the Heversham w. b wrecked on Tom's Bock itself, and this is confirmed by the statement of two independent witnesses on shore, who distinctly saw the vessel in dangerous proximity to that rock.—* Post.'
