The Australian Sovereign left Newcastle for Lyttelton on August 18th. The Pet, barque. Captain Maun, sailed from Hobart Town for Lyttelton on August 14th, with a cargo of 350,000 shingles, 50,000 palings, 40,000 ft timber, and 615 bags bark. The Zephyr arrived at Melbourne from this port on August 21st. The clipper ship Lucile, on her maiden voyage from Liverpool to Melbourne, had a rough time when running down her easting. Tremendous bodies of water poured into her on either side, and over the poop, filling her to the rail, and leaving at times only the poop and topgallant.'forecastle visible. The force of the sea tore up all the starboard side cii lb, poop, and fairly gutted the captain’s cabin, and also the cabin of the apprentices. The store rooms and sail lockers were also cleared of their contents, and the same seas also made a clean sweep on deck, winches, capstans, and lashed spars being powerless to resist the immense pressure. Seven of the crew were more or loss injured by the loose spars floating about, and tyvo or three of them are still suffering from their bruises. Wjiou the hurricane had spent itself, it left a heavy sea behind it, and for the safety of the ship and all on board Captain Scott deemed it necessary to jettison portion of the cargo. _ , , Messrs Bright Brothers and Co., the agents of the Orient line of steamers, have received a telegram from London, to the effect that the s.s. Chimborazo left Plymouth on August 13th with 340 passengers and a quantity of cargo for Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney. For Melbourne there are 620 tons, andfor Sydney 1062 tons. After the splendid passage made by the Lusitania, the public will await with interest the performance of the Chimborazo. At a meeting of the Liverpool Local Marine Board on July sth, Captain Lumley Kennedy, of the ship Sierra Morena, was presented' with a gold watch and guard on behalf of the New Zealand Government, in recognition of his services iu saving some of the survivors of the ship Strathmore, which was wrecked when on a voyage from London to Otago. The New Zealand Government has also awarded a gold watch to Captain Gifford, of the Young Phcenix, and another to Captain McFee, of the ship Childers, to whom the remaining twentyfour survivors were transferred from the Young Phcenix just after parting with the Sierra Morena. WRECKS ON THE TASMANIAN COAST. The reports furnished by vessels coining recently from Tasmania to Melbourne would indicate that marine disasters have taken place along the coast there during the late gales. The Isabel reports the loss of the Penguin, with all hands; and as the beach to the eastward of Tamar Heads is strewn with wreckage and cargo, it is believed that other casualties have taken place. The master of the barque Lady Emma* from Hobart Town, also mentions that on the 15th instant, he boarded the barque Queen of the Seas, on shore in the Bay of Fires, with the hold full of water ; and on the 17th instant, when passing Swan Island, the lighthousekeeper came off and told him that the schooner Trader had been blown away from the River Mersey with only three men on board of hey. The schooner had then been lying at Swan Island for a week.
