Mr Richard Wood’s barque Sunbeam will commence to-day to land her cargo of Mauritius sugars. Since tho vessel was last here she has undergone a complete overhaul. _ When at Manritina sho was docked and chipped, and painted inside and out, and her appearance aloft and alow does her owner very great credit. The Sunbeam left here just five months and twentythree days since for the Cape. The voyage up occupied fifty-soven days. Thence sho wont to the Mauritius in thirty, six days, an unusually long passage for her, and fully accounted for by tho severe gales she encountered. Her voyage to Lyttelton occupied thirty-nine days, the early portion of it being characterised by light baffling winds and frequent calms. Some excellent work was dona from crossing the meridian of Capo Leuwin to the Snares, the run being performed in ten days or four from Tasmania. _ The only damage sustained on the round trip by the barque was on Saturday last off tho Snares, when a sea broke on board and carried away part of the lee bulwarks.
