SYDNEY.

We have received Sydney Morning Heralds of.Dec. Ist and 3rd. Nine vessels were advertised to leave Sydney for J/ondon, the Albert, Jane Frances, Autumnus, Kate, Waterloo, Catherine Jamieson, Josephine, General Hewitt, and the Camilla, 383, Boyle. Dr. Lang had arrived in Brisbane, and delivered a lecture on the separation of More ton Jray, and its erection into a separate colony. ■A .subscription was being got up to send Dr. Lang to England as a delegate. Wreck of the " Tvrian."—The barque " Tynan," 220 tons, of London, Captain Robinson, left Honolulu on Sept. 16, for Sydney, via Auckland, and left the latter port on Nov. 6, having on board 46 persons, passengers and crew. About twenty minutes to one, on the morning of Tuesday, the 24th November, the ship was running free, with a fresh breeze, when without any notice or warning, she struck heavily and remained fixed. At daylight it was found that she was on the centre of Elizabeth reef, (close to the place where the " Rosetta Joseph " was lost), and her bow high and dry at low-water. As there was no possibility of getting her off, and there were not sufficient boats to carry all hands, it was determined to despatch the long-boat with as many as she could carry to the coast for assistance. Captain Birkenshaw(well known in the Colonial trade), who was a passenger, was placed in charge of the boat, and took with him Mrs. Birkenshaw, and three children, Mr. and Mrs. Wilks, Messrs. H. Nathan, G. Atkinson, F. Brooks, Sprague, and J. Crawford, the chief officer (Mr. Agar), and two of the seamen, leaving thirty-three on boaid. They encountered very bad weather for six days, and had to keep two men continually baling out the boat, but yesterday morning made Newcastle, and most of them came on to : in the steamer. The " Tynan " has in her about one hundred tons of general cargo, consisting of flour, sugar, &c. It is supposed the vessel will be perfectly safe where she is, but the scarcity of water will be severely felt. For thirty-three persons we believe there were only two casks. The circumstances of the case were reported to the Government last night, and we hope that the "Acheron" or "Bramble" may be despatched to the relief of the unfortunate people without delay. — Sydney Morning Herald.
