The cuttpr Iris, sailed from Sydney, as rrported in our l«st, on the 9 h January >r the Sea Islands, but when about 250 miles off liie land, it w«s found the vessel leaked through (he decks, Capt Peaco< k bore up for Sydney t<> have her decks caulked and arrived back on the 10th. The caulk in? complied, ■he took her departure again from Port Jackson on the 23rd ult., and entered our harbour in beautiful style on Thursday after it boisterous pmsngi} of fouitcen days, three of which she was obliged to bearo to. Tlie Moa arrived at Sydney ou the 19th and was to sail again at'out the Ist init. The Emm* was to tail for this port on the 25th ult. The schooner Pauline, sailed from ?an Francisco on the 10th November, arrived at Honolulu on th»- 30ih November, where she remnined three week*, and sailed from thence to Tahiti, delayed there only four days, and sailed fiom Tali ti on the 20th January. The Pout B'»y vchoonerof this por» was al Honolulu while the Pauline wan tb-Te. 'the Bntifch baiqnts Portland, (Grander), Spi'Ttan, (Pain) nndbng Selma, (Andec son) from Sari Fr»in< i»oo bound to Launceston, were at T-biti whtn thePiiUlineleit.

While the Pauline wai at Tahiti a schooner arrived from San Francisco bringing paper* t) the l9ih D«cem her, in wh'ch we observe »hat the barque Elennor Lanoster, Lodjfe, 104 days from Sydney, a rived at S»n Fianciaoo <m the 1 Itb ; the brie Return, RichanlF, 94 cl,*ys from Wellington, ou the 14th, and the h'ii Widgpon, Capti, li 2 duyi from Sydney, on the 15ib Decftnber. Di-Asrcß» and Probablb Loss of Life.— We regret to have to anuounce thit morning, Hint the B itish barque Mersey, Cubhms ma<s er, lor the Sthdwich Islands, which went to sea on Sa utd»y afternoon wiUout'B pil«N "as ditcovered yesterday rooming by the pilot boat, ashore just inside of the Northern Head, At the entrance inio the harbor, lying on her beam ends, with nothing standing hut ber lower mastt>, and the »ea making a clear breach orer her. No sign of a linns being could be seen on board or near her. Capt. Curfey, passenger by the Ochtertyre arrived lust night, reports bavins seen tne Merg^y jus before d rk, about three miles off the Head*, standing out to sea. The probability i', that the captain of the M<'isey finding the trem-ndous suu h-ensterot Suaday evenmg f «o much for his vessel, s'ood a >out t<i run into ibe harbor, and not having a pilot, on board, ran ashore during the night. It may be that as ihe illfa'ed bTqucwas driven high up on tlie beach, ber officers and crew wee enabled to save themieWes,and tint they bave perhaps mide their w.»y to SducelitoNothing had been heard of them, howiVer, and the violence ol the storm and ber exposed situation, with the sea making a c ear breach over her cou-tantly, JCrid us to fear the worst. The captain, we learn, »a* married, and had hit wifu ami family on board The names and number (probably 14 to 18] of the crew, we cou'd not 'earn at time of g'ing to pre^i. — San Francisco Public Balance, Dee. 1 7. All Gone. -There is a singular and lamentable history connected with the Abby Baker, of Yarmouth, Me , now lying at our levee. She was commanded by Captain Timothy Pntt ; his wife and tamily were also on board with him. Captain Pratt dird a short time before the arrival of l»:e barque at San Franciaco. Au« tuhtus Pratt, hiion, who ha I been uciing as mate, then took charge, and brought the barque into ihe Biy and up to Sacramento. On ihe 3 'th uf last month he becdtnp one ol the unfortunite victima of the cho\era* One hour afterwtrdt, hn brother Enos died. On the lit instant, his brother William died of the larne dia . ay. <'n the 3rd, a Dutch boy belonging to th^ ship died. And on the s>h, Mrs. Jane Pr«tt, the wife of Captain Timothy Pratt, died, leaving a little boy nine yean ol age, who ha» been kindly taken charge oof/ f aud will be sfnt to th* Statei by ihe earliest conveyance. Others were taken sick on hoard the baique, nutl sent to the hospital, until the \esoel was entin-ly de-erted.
