Wreck of the " Rosetta Joseph," We regret to have to announce the wieckof Ihe barque Rosetta Joseph, of Sydney, which took place on the niglit of the Ist December "last, oti Elizibelh's reef, on her return from San Francisco. The following is extracted from an account of the unfortunate catastrophe communicated by one of the p.isscngeis to the Sydney Herald. " The barqus Rosetta Joseph left San Francisco on the 15th October, bound to Sydney, having as passengers Mr. Rudderandtwo sons, Mr, J. H, Green, Mr. Israel Joseph ; Messis. John Adams, Thomas Gilroy, W. Hanley, G Shaw, J. Renwkk, Alexander M'Leen, Robeit Oir, Charles M'Rorie, John Gile, Jonathan Tuubridge, Samupl Williams, Andrew Cunimings, Edmund Ilayea, George Lumsden, Morris Power, William Cahill, W, Langham, James Burns, Mr. Hurley and wife, Mr. and Mrs Shaw and two children, and three others remained in Port Macquaiic Nothing particular occurred on board till the nigh, of the Ist of December, when the vessel struck on a reef known as Clarks or Elizabeth's Reef; the unfortunate accident struck terror into every } erson on board, and a most anxioU3 night was passed." It appears from Mr. Green's account that the pae ■engers and crew remained on board all night after the vessel struck, and on the following day, all hands, got safely off from the ill-fated vessel, with provisions, water, nautical instruments, &<\, and laid at anchor near the wreck, in the ship's jolly boati long boat, and pinnace, all night. On the following day the boats set sail, and steered for Howes Island. During two dajs they expeiieneed great distress in a heavy gale of wind, expecting momentarily during the night of tln> 4th Due. to ha swamped On mid-day of the sth, Captain Patrick determined to bear away for the coast of New Holland, and at 3 p. m. on the 9th, they sighted Cape Hawke. At 4p.m. on the 10th, the boat* made Port Macquarie, hoisted signals of distress, and the inhabitants, as soon as they perceived the signals, hurried to the aid of the sufferers, and rendered them every assistance that humanity could dictate, No life was lost j— and thanksgiving to Almighty God for his interposition on their behalf, was otleied by the shipwrecked passengers and crew as Boon as they reached their poit or refuge. The wreck of the Rosetta Joseph was sold at Sydney on the 19th ol December for the sum of ,£lO5.

Yesterday morning;, at eight o'clock, M»j or -General Wynyßi'd aud Stall' embarked, on board 11. M S. Havannab, Captain Erskine, to proceed on a tour of mipection to Van l)iem;i)'s Land. At the per, t lie heads of the Military Departments were in attendance as was also a guard of honour, composed of a company

of the 11th regiment, with the regimental colour and bnnd, by whom the General was received with the usual salute. On reaching the Havannali, His Excellency vras saluted with fifteen guns. Shortly afterwards the Havaimah proceeded to sea, and had light hut favour' able winds during the day. Mrs. and Miss WytyirJ accompany the party.— Sydney Hnald, Dec. 18.

Tun " Harriet Rocxwru,." — The Harriet Rock well had an excellent iun from °an Francisco, making the passage fiom tbit port to Launceston in fifty-six days, two of which she remained at Honolulu, and two at Noifolk Is'and. We understand that the Captain while at the latter pLice received the greatest kindness fiom the commnnddnf, Mr. Price, in furnishing him with every necessary that the Island could afford. Everything was in the most satisfactory state at Norfolk Island, and the commandant held in the highest estimation by all the offireis under bim. It is somewhat singular t'.at more vessels do not call there for supplies, water, &c, as it is direct in the route from Californid to the colonies. The Harriet Rockwell is to be laid on almost immediately for California ; she is as her passage prove*, a first-rate sailer, and po;sesses good accommodation for passengers. She brought down twenty' seven passenger-?, and upwards of ;£lOOO in gold dust, chiefly for Launceston. — Colonial Times, Dec. 17.
