Very satisfactory speed was attained under easy steam ; the engines worked smoothly, doing about two hours and twenty minutes’ steaming, and without stoppage for heated hearings... The B.s. Osyth, on'starting from Sandridge Pier, Melbourne, on her voyage to London, on the 6th inst., got a chain-wound round her propeller, which detained her till the night of the following day, as divers had to be employed to release the screw. The steamerwas all ready for sea, after a tremendous rush to get 7,542 bales of wool, 2,000 cases preserved meats, 800 tons of coal, <fcc., on board, between the 25th of November and the 6th inst. Such despatch had never been known in the colony before. The accident is looked upon as a misfortune in more than one sense, as the simultaneous departure of the Northumberland and the St. Osyth—the one going Cape Horn and the other yia the Cape of Qood Hope—would have, to a certain extent., tested the advantages in time by the reaped ive routes. The St. Osyth is not expected to Mil at any port on hey. road Home. The steamers Gomerang, for the Bluff, and Taiaroa, for Timaru, sailed last evening. The brig Pakeha, for Eaipara, was towed to sea last evening by the p.e. Iron Age. The barque Nardoo, in ballast, for Newcastle and Melbourne, took her departure this morning with a S.W, breeze. The brig Wild Wave was towed np this morning by the Iron Age. She left Melbourne on the nit., with a S.W. wind, which continued until passing Wilson’s Promontory at 8 a.m. next day; thence, until the Bth inst., had a succession el heavy gales from, the S. and S E„ accompanied by terrific seas, during which she lost a number of sails and carried away part of her bulwarks and stanchions and was hove-to for forty-eight hours under lower main-topsail. The gale moderated on the Bth, and she cleared Cook Strait on the 9th.
