The Jounstone hai made an excellent passage from Tahiti of 27 days. The cutter Oberon, hence, arrived at Tahiti on the 26th December ; ami the Elizabeth Archer, Capt Cobfe, also hence, arrived on the lit January. The Johnttone left the Hamlet lying at Panama, in September ; her destination was Cailao, to load guana (or England. Caj>t. Scott, formerly of the Sultana schooner, paaseDger per Hamlet, died on the pamee from California to Panama.— Si/ dney Herald, Jan. 31. The Portuguese frigate Donna Maria was V>lown up at her moorings at ftiacuo, on the Ist Nor. She had juit fired a salute in honour of H.M F. Majesty's birthday, whan the magazine exploded. The crew coiui&ted of reaily three hundred men, of whom only eight were picked up alive, and foui of them deud subgequenily, from the injuries they had received. It was supposed that the explosion was caused by a Clnnube incendiary, but the news only reached Hong K'>ng by a row-boat, as the mail was leaving, io that the particulars have not been received.— lb. FFesb s 3.

Considerable excitement was caused in England in consequence of t bottle having been picked u p by th e coast-guards, containing a paper signed Comtenay Fowell. stating that the ship Harpley, from London, for Adelaide, had foundered at *ea, and that some of the passengers only were saved on a raft. At thh paper purported to have been written on the 24th September, the day after the ship sailed, great doubts were expressed on the subject, a* the night had been fine and the wind light and fair; but still, at there was a passenger named Courtenay Fowell in the ship, all who had fiiends on board wire naturally very uneasy. We did not mentiou this report before, but as the Harpley has arrived in safety at Adelaide, we now notice it to express n hope that some steps will he taken to ascertain whether the document is really.' in the hand-writing of Courtenay Fowell, whose name we observe is in the Hit of passengers. Mr. Mallet, one of the owners of the Hsrpley, proceeded to Plymouth to make enquiries on the subject, and in a letter to the Times he says, " On making enquiries atone of the hoi^es this man Fowell used to frequent, I find he threatened to frighten his friends and make them beI lieve he was drowned." As a punishment we would like to place Mr. Fowell, it he be guilty of th<s atrocious offence, on a laft and anchor him in deep water in a seaway with nothing to eat for forty- fight hours ; —we fear that Judge Lynch is the only authority who can assert a jurisdiction in. the case.— lb. Feb. 4. Tigress, Colonial Wh aline Brio.— This vessel has been out fiom Sydney nine months and a-half, and reports having taken 320 barrels sperm oil ; this bad success i« attributable to much sickness prevailing among the crew for some months past. Off N w Zealand she spoke the whaling brig Governor, hence, out five weeks, clean. On the 24th January, daring a quarrel in the forecastle, a seaman named John Daley, with a large knife stabbed another seaman named John Churner. The culprit w«s immediately placed ju irons by Captain Eury, and handed over to the Water Police officer last evening. We ate glad to find that the injured man is recovering, and is now out of danger.— ib. Fib. 5. On the 2nd February, about 3 o'clock, a.m., the brig Emma, from Hobart Town to Sydney, was run» ning before a gale of wind, about sixty miles to the southward of Cape Howe, a strange brig nearly run into her ; indeed she was so close that the stranger's jib-boom was over the head of the mm at the wheel ; luckily no colision occurred. — Sydney Herald, Feb. 7. The Brothers has made a quick run from Hono'ulu of twenty-Dine days, which is «n» of the quickest passages on record. She was purchased at tbe nbore port by Mr. Pierce Hegarty, from Messrs. Williams and Co., for 5500 dollars. Captain Stayers states that the day prior to his departure, tbe British Consu! h»d received intelligence of two vessels diicovered wrecked in St. George's Sound, supposed to be Sir J. Franklin's, >nd that two of H. M. brigs were despatched to ascertain the truth of the insertion. At Honolulu— tbe brig Independence, from San Francisco, arrived on the Ist of January, and the Duchess of Clarence from Hobtrt Town, arrived on the 26th of December. The Elizabeth Archer hence, had not arrived. From the 21st to the 26ih of January, the Brothers experienced very he^vy weather, and in lat. 13*9 south, and long* 175 58 east, had to weather out a typhoon. — 76.
