Lighthouse at Cape Oiway. — This light, house is ieported by Captain Noon, of the Mary, ag having been lit up on the night of the 30th August, at ■which time he was off that part of the const, fie describes the light as being of great power and brilliancy, and of elevation enough to be teen a consider, able distance, and in every direction. — Port Phillip Patriot, Sept. 7. It will be reraembsred that a few months since the ship General Wood, having on board ninety Chinese convicts, bound to Sii^apore, was captured by the convicts, who murdered a number ot the crew and several passengers. We peiceive by the Singapore papers received yesterday, that twenty-seven ot the convicts had been re-captured, and tried for the piracy, of which they were convicted. Four of them were ordered for execution, and it wai luppo ed the remainder would betiatispotted for life —Sydney Herald, S'pt. 16. Loss of thu Schooner AucE.--Thebrig Phantom, which sailed from Adelaide on Friday, returned to poit the following day, having on board Captain Shall, five seamen and a passenger (Mr. J. Ashdowne), of the schooner Alice, which vessel hai beeu unfortunately lost about eight mil s to the southuard and eastward of the Heads The Alice sailed fiom Ciicuinr Head for this port on the 9th instant, with a cargo of 36 tons potatoes and 16"O bags wheat, consigned to Mr. George Small. Og F.iday morning, at about ten o'clock, being then within sight of the lighthouse, she was htruck by a heavy squall from west-north-west (of which there had be* no previous indicat o-i), thrown on her beam-ends before any cauvas could possibly be itken off her, and immediately sunk. The captain and olhers on board had birely sufficient time to cut away the gripes of the boat and jump in ; and even then had but little prospect of being saved from a watery^grave, having but two paddles in the boat, and no thowl pins. Within half an hour, however, alter the occurrence, the boat being descried by Captain Fox, of the Phantom, driving fast off the land, he steered directly to her, and fortunattly succeeded in saving all hands. Captain Fox states that it wai one of the heaviest squalls he ever experienced, and wilh the suddenness of it. it would have been a matter of impossibility for the crew of the Alice to have got her canvass off in time.

Dining the day it continued to blow with such violence as to preclude the possibility of the Phantom returning unlil Saturday morning, being unable to carry any canvas. CapUin Sholl and the other persons saved (■peak in the highest term* of the conduct of Captain Fox and his chief officer, and have requested u» to acknowledge their gialitude for (he kindness shown towards them. The Alice was of 43 tons burthen, the property of Mr. Atihdowne, of the Sw»ar Works, and is insmed for the mm of £600.— Sytn-y Herald, Sept. 18. Thk John SoucHay — Dangerous Rebf. — We regret to report that the John Souehay, bound to the Mauiitius, struck on a reef near King's Island, nnd has been compelled to return to Hobart lown. Tue vessel left that pott on 22nd Augunt,and through stiess of weather was obliged to attempt the passage to the westward through Uuss's Srrnits. She had passed the Sea Elephant's Rocks, steering a north cour«e, un il they bore well on the quiirter, when discoloured water »at suddenly obierved on the starboard how; the helm was immediately put hard to port, but the vessel •truck, and ran right on a reef. The boats were lowered, and two anchors got out astern and bove taut. She made no water until 6 p.m., when she struck violently twice, *nd after that the water increased six inches per hour. At 11 the venel swung to her anchor, having been nine hourt on the reef. On Wednesday morning they made sail, and arrived at Hobart Town on Sundßy; the leak did not increase, but the pumpi were kept going every huur. The damsge hat not yet been ascertained. It is important to state that the reef is not laid down on the Beagle's U*t charts, and has hitherto only been known to a few whalers. Mr. Lucai, the well-known pilot of Hobart Town, resided three years at King's Island, and places the reel in the very spot the captain calculates the position of his vessel when she struck. He also has remarked the peculiarity that he never knew the water to break on that reef, nor to have given any indication of its exuteoce except one, and that daring a gale of easterly wind.— LnunceUon Examiner, Sept. 6.

Preserved Provisions. — A visit was on Friday paid by his Excellency, accompanied by the Colonial Secretary, and Captain Erskine, H.M.S. Havannab, to the estabhthinent recently erected at Camperdown, by Mr. M. Joseph, for the purpose of preparing preserved meats. A minute inspection was made by the visitors, of the establiahment, alter which the various preserved meats were tasted. The opinion entertained of the products of the establishment was shown by His Excellency on leaving a somewhat extensive order for preserved turtle soup.— Sydney Herald, Sept. 25.
