A brigantine from the North was signalled this morning, but was still outside the Heads when our express left port. The Nonpariel, from Newcastle, was beating np the harbor when our express left port. The barque Victoria arrived off the Breakwater, from Newcastle, at 11.30 this morning. The steamer Albion landed the two parts of the broken shaft yesterday, and they were sent up to Christchureh to be repaired at Mr Anderson s foundry. It is thought that the steamer will be able to proceed on her voyage by Friday next,. The following account of a dreadful sceue on board the steamer Tararua, from Melbourne to TJobarfc Town, is taken from the " Tribune" of the 15th inst. :—" The steamer left Saudridge Pier on Wednesday, 12th inst., about half-past ten o'clock, with passengers and cargo for Hobart Town and New Zealand, having also on the main deck ranged nine draft horses, consigned to Mr Clarson, of New Zealand, and one saddle horse belonging to a passenger. Shortly after passing through the heads the wind came on to blow hard from the south and east, and continuing iu that direction with equal force almost till arrival. The night before last the gale at midnierht was at its height, the vessel pitching frightfully, and one of the grooms attending to his duty well, managed to keep the horses on their feet for a counle of hours, when the first and largest, in the centre, fell, and commencing to struggle, soon brought the remaiuder to the ground, a scene of horrible confusion following, and lasting till the vessel reached nearly to the Iron Pot. Kicking, biting, and tearing furiously amongst themselves, the shrieks and groans of the horses, and the cries of the sailors aud others in charge, had a very horrifying effect on all on board. Laboring as the steamer was in the trough of a very heavy cross sea, it was found impossible to do anything to help the poor brutes, and the result was two were killed outright from kicks on the head by another animal, and the rest so frightfully maimed that they will most likely have to be destroyed, or will die from their injnries here. It may be mentioned that Captain Sinclair and his officers were most zealous in their attempts to rescue the poor brutes from their sufferings, or at least to ameliorate them, but the severity of the gale prevented their efforts being successful."
