The schooner Esther, Captain Johnson, leit Pelorns Sound on Monday, November sth, with a strong westerly wind, which held till off Gore Bay, thence N.E. till arrival in harbor at 3 p.m. yesterEverybodv that travels has experienced the annoyance of "having his ears deafened on board a steamboat by the roar of escaping steam. Sometimes accidents have occurred during the racket of " blowing off," simply because the captain cannot make his orders heard, and everything has to be done in dumb show while the disturbance lasts. Happily, says the " American Manufacturer," an invention called the spiral exhaust nozzle is destined to choke off the noise. It operates by breaking the waves of sound, the escaping steam being surrounded with a wire helix, and obliged to pass between the wires. These nozzles are in use on steamers running botween Philadelphia and England. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. Nelson, November 7. Arrived—Albion, from Melbourne. She left Sandridge Pier on October 30th.
