The barque Melrose, Captain K-nny, arrived yesrerday a'ttrnoon from Newcastle, after a good run of eight days, and was towed into hfirDor by the steamer Lady Barkly. She left Newcistle late In the evening of the 4th inst. Experienced light winds for the first two days, then the wind shifted round to the S.W., continuing to blow in that direction until n-aking the land, which she did on the Ilth ipst., the wea her thn being thick and dirty; rounded the Spit on Saturday evening, arriving ac above. Spoke a large ship on Sunday week, steering N 8., bnt at too great a distance off to make out her number. The Melrose bringß a cargo of coal, consigned to Messrs Cross Brothers. We have to thank Captain Kenny for report and files. The schooner Bonnie La js appears to have got round the Spit, despite the contrary winds which have been blowing lately. From raptun Kenny of the barque Meiros3 we leatn that he spoke the Bonnie Lass oa Saturday last fifteen miles NN.W. of Cape Farewell, so that it is quite pssible that she has reached her d sanation by t_i§ time. By the arrival of the barque Melrose yesterday we received intelligence of the strnuding of the schemer Brilliant, Captain M'Kinnon, well known in these waters. The particulars to hand are very vague, but we learn that she was driven on shore at Byron Bay during the Ints gale which raged so violently ia New South Wales. It appears that the captain, seeing the vessel could not riile out the gale, having buoyed the cable, slipped it, and beached the vessel in as favorable a position as he could. The Brilliant was owned by Capt .in MKinnoa, and we regret to lparn tliat she was uninsured. A very serious collision occured on Saturday morning at G o'clock, off Cape Three Points. The Helen Malcolm was trom Melbourne to Newcastle, and was on the port tack, close haul d, and about the time above mentioned a steamer's green light was distinctly seen from the pore bow. The barque was kept to the wind, but tbe steamer, which proved to be tha Bowen, froai Foo Chow to Sydney, struck the barque on the starboard bow, crushing it, as well as the opposite side, completely in, earring away cutwater, bowsprit and all head geir. At once ihe pumps were sounded, aad it was found that the sbip was making water. The steamer h_vmg stopped, she took the Helen Malcolm in tow, and brought her to port, where she now lies alongside Campbell's Wh-rf, The Bowen doss not appeir to have suffered any damage beyond the loss of foretopsail yard —-Sydney Herald. July 31. A collision occurred yesterday morning at the steamers' wharf between the Rembla and City of Newcastle, which resulted in considerable damage to two of the boats of the latter vessel. It appears that the Coonanlmra was swinging from the steamers' whar/, while the Kembk occupied her mm] berth. The City of Newcastle was in the act of turning from the Horseshoe, while on her passage from Morpeth, for the purpose of coming alongside, when she was caught by the westerly wind, and brought into such a position that in endeavoring to avoid a collision with the Coonanbara she came against the Kembla, and her two after quarter boats first struck the Kembla's paddle box; and th.n the Kembla's anchor-stock rippel the boats frora stem to stern. Beyond this, towever, no further damage resulted, and the steamers were soon clear. —Newcastle Pi 01, July 29.
