The Ringarooma made a fine trip across the Straits on Saturday, the passage having only occupied seven and a half hours. The Wellington left Wellington this afternoon, will arrive here to-morrow morning, and sail on the return trip by the same tide at 9 a.m. The Edwin Fox was towed into harbor by the Wallace yesterday morning, and berthed alongside the Government Wharf. She will commence discharging in the course f a day or two. The three-masted schooner Mad Cap, a ■wholesome looking vessel hailing from Brixham, arrived in harbor yesterday morning after a passage of forty-two days from Port Louis. Captain Miller reports leaving that place on October 13th, and experienced fine weather with light variable winds for the first thirteen days, then a succession of gales, varying from N.W. to S.W. and accompanied with hail and rain, were met with. On Nov. 2 the sea was running so high that the vessel had to be hove to. for 12 hours, the wind being from W.N.W.; from thence moderate weather was experienced, the land between Capes Foulwind and Farewell being sighted on Saturday morning last, and in the afternoon the vessel rounded the Spit, coming up the Bay during the evening, and being towed into harbor by the Lady Barkly yesterday morning. The only laud sighted during the passage was Amsterdam Island, which was passed on Oct. 26th five miles distant. The Mad Cap brings a cargo of sugar consigned jointly to Mesara N. Edwards & Co. and Messrs Sclauders and Co. She will haul alongside the wharf tomorrow, and commence discharging cargo the same day. The Clyde, a smart 1 ooking topsail schooner hailing from Sydney, where she was built three years ago, sailed into harbor yesterday afternoon. She is from Oamaru, which port she left on the 13th inst. Fine weather was experienced until the vessel was off tbe Peninsula, when a N.W. gale was encountered which lasted two days. A light 'S.W. wind carried tbe vessel through the Straits. On the 17th, as the weather was very threatening, Captain Bishop brought his vessel to an anchor at Guard's Bank. During that day a heavy gale from the N.W. set in, and blew with ungovernable fury until Saturday morning last, when it moderated sufficiently to allow of the vessel heaving up her anchor. Steven's Island was rounded iv the evening, and the Clyde arrived here as above. The schooners Martha Reid and Fiery Cross, and a barque bound from Wellington to Newcastle were lying at Guard's Bank in company with the Clyde during the gale. The Clyde brings a cargo of breadstuff s consigned to Messra N. Edwards & Co.

Her gross register tonnage will be about 2000 tons, and the engines will be equal to 3000 h p., and they and the hull will be constructed of steel of the kind which is now beiDg adopted by the Admiralty for their fast boats, and which gives strength and allows finer lines on a moderate draught. She is being built by Messrs Denny and Son, of Dumbarton. The Te Anau, which is expected to arrive in February, for the Sydney trade, will h,sive a carrying capacity of 1200 toes,
