The steamer -Governor Wynyard was driven on one of the flats «f thu Tama4ci nver, beyond Mason's .Point, in the sudden gale of Saturday night last. It is thought that »s it will not be possible to get her off before the next spring tides her pro/osed trip to the JSav of Islands must be abandoned. The Moa had an excellent run to Sydney, boin g but spven da\s from port to port — she sailed from Auckland on the 3rd and arrived at Sydney on the 10th ult. Her return passage has been a more tedious | owing to a succession of south-e.isterly winds which she experienced from the day she left Sydnev — the 26th ult.— until her arrival yesterday. She shipped time bundr d shwp and one horse, and lost the horse and four hundred of the sheep. On the 2nd in-iant passed a barque which Captain Norn's f=uppi>s»d to be the John Phillips from Wellington, bound towards Torres S raits. The Roman Emperor, ship, fr< m l^ortsmouth the 18:h February, arrived at Sydney on the 14th Way; off Cape Fiuisterre she pnsatd the s.hip Brandon, apparently water-logged, load d with cotton, from mdia — a brig alongside stripping her. On the 2'2nd May the- barque Nestor am ved from the Downs January 1, and tb.e-.Gape of Good Hope M«nch y?lh. The ship Euphrates -arrived on theioth May <from Plymouth the 13th February -^£> (s nei-dlewomt n were among her passengers. The following wrecks •were noticed in the Sydney Herald. — The baique Thomas King, bound from Sidney to Manilla, struck on Cato's reef, 180 miles to the noithward of Sandy Point, on the 17th April, where she became a total ■wreck. Two schooners, the Mary Jane and Bmtheis, were diiven on shore at Portland Bay, on the 2nd May, during a heavy gale from the south-east ;— the latter was totally wrecked. The brig E-singtun went ashore at Geelong, on the 4th ult. The Ami and Jane, from Shanghae to Sydney, was lost in January la-t, on the Kangeang islands in the Java Sea — crew and p-.irt of cargo saved. The schooler Deboiah was totally wrecked at Anateum, on the 23rd February .last : she was working out during a heavy gal* 1 , missed stays and drove on shore, and became a complete wreck in least than twenty minutes. AH hands were saved, and about twenty-seven .tons of her cargo of saudalwood also. The brig General Worth, Gaptain Lacey, lience the 22nd April, arrived at Melbourne on the 12ih May. H.M.S. Calliope, from llobart Town, arrived on the 13th May. The Hawaiian schooner Falmoulh, 'Captain Wilson, hence the 29th February for San Francisco, touched at Tahiti, which she made after a fine iun of twenty-one days from Auckland. A report was brought to Sydney by the Roman' Emperor that a company had been formed in London to run a line of steamer.-, between Sydney and Panama. We deeply lament to find in the shipping column of the Herald the following painful intelligence or the murder of Captain Mullpns, of the barque Victory, \thicb arrived at Auckland from London on the Ist February of last year. The paiagraph is quoted from . a Singapore paper : — "The English barque Victory, Captain Mullens, ! lpft Cum-sing-moon 6ih December, bouud to Callao, ' wtth 350 emigrants for that place. Four days after, '•leaving, and when near Pulo-Supatu, whilst the captain was walking on the poop-deck he was seized by -some of the Chinese and seriously wounded ; he managed to escape to the mizen-top, but was pursued by ■ armed men, and brutally muidered. The second mate, the cook, and one of the-crow endeavoured to assist the captain, and were also butchered. The Chinese were now complete masters of the vessel, nnd were armed with cutlasses. The chief mate was aloft, looking out for the -land ;ihe was ordered to descend on deck and ' commanded >to sail for t'«e land, and lie and the rest of 'the crew were 1 com peHed to navigare'tbe vessel : they proceeded near Pulo Obi, at the entiance of the Gulf of Siano, where a portion of the Chinese landed. Several fights took place on board amongst the mutineers themselves, some of them were killed, and o'hers wm> thrown overboard alive. '1 he name of the se( ond mate was Arransolo. After being obligi d to sail the vessel along the coast of Cambodia, where other Chinese landed, the remainder leit the vessel in boats only four days ago at an island in the Gulf of Siam called Kamro. The Victory had on board a valuable cargo for South America, the whole of which was plundered by the Chinese before quilting the ship. The ve-snl belongs to Messrs. Wilson and Cook, of London. Several parts of the ship are marked with blood. On one occasion some of the Chinese at tempted to set fire to thp ship. The tiagical occurrence' of the murder of Captain Mullens and the other Europeans took place between two and three o'clock in the afternoon. Ahmang, the ringleader of thp mutiny, was murdered by his comrades. The chief officer, Mr. Vagg, brought the vessel into Singapore, January 27. •Tueie being no steamer at Singapore, information has been sent on to China, as all partieß are to identify the Chim se, some of whom will probably be captured.— Singapore Monthly Circular, Feb. 4. We also find the following distressing account of a Leith vessel, the Herald, copied into an Adelaide paper-: — The English barque Ht-rald, Captain Lawson, left Shanghae, August 2bth, bound to Leith with a cargo of tens, &c. The Herald passed Anjer at the latter part of October, and when about 100 miles from Anjer, during the night, the cn j w, Manilla men, killed -the chief mate, second mate, and carpenter ; they then proceeded below with a hatchet, and butchered the captain. Mrs. Lawson was then much ilLaeil, robbed of her jpwels, and confined to her cabin, where she became deranged. The mutineers scuttled the ship, and •she foundered near a rock, Mrs. Law.son being alive at the time the ressel went down. Tun cn-w then reached the coast of Bantam in the boats, hut their statement of the loss of the vessel exciting the suspi'-iona of the Dutch Resident, they were captured. One of their •number confessed the whole affair — he is said to he an European-born Spaniard or Portuguese. Enciish Shipping. — The Clarence, steamer, sailed from Liverpool, for Sydnpy, on the 11th February. The Dreadnought, for Adelaidp, and the D.ilius, for Melbourne, sailed from Gravesend 11th Febiuary. The Achilles, for Sydney, put in to Plymouth on the 6th Februaiy, having =been thirty-three days from Gravesend. The Tartar, hence via Madras and Mauritius, arrived at Gravesend on the 12th February. A chpper•builtehip, on the same model and lines as the Phoenician, was launched on the 7th January last from the premises of Walter Heod and Co., Aberdeen, far the Sydney trade. The following are her dimensions : — Length of keel, 161 feet; breadth of beam, 3.) feet; depth of hold, 21 feet; extreme length on deck, 199 feet ; length over all, 204 feet. She has a full poop and topgallant forecastle, and measures 9«'»o' tons 0.m.. and 918 tons n.m , and is circulated to carry 1300 to 1400 tons — Sydney Herald, May 2J.

Steam-boat Bi'lldino in jhe Tmamfs. — The British ■public are frequently amazed by accounts ot the immense new steam boats of America, and the congf ruction of others of still greater tonnage and power. •We think however, tl.at a vi-it to the I hames building yard of Ware and Co, Oichatil Wbarl, Bfackwall, would convince the English public that neither for tonnage nor horse power do the American yards surpass us in building ships and machinery. As a Muecmien of British manufacture, Messrs. Mare muuch two o-io-autic Bhips on Tuesday next. One of these vessels ft- "a yacht for the Pachn ot Kgypt.to be named the Fair tiibaad, a ship 282 feet in Irnjrth, 40 feet m bivadih, 29 not in depth, of 2200 »">us measuitftnent, and to have cno-iaea by Maudslay, Son, and Field.

British & American Clipper Ships. — The British clipper ship Stornaway, built at Aberdeen for the China trail?, and commanded by Captain Robertson, for many years the respected commander of ihe. John O'Gaunt, of Liverpool, was the tir<»t arrival of the season, having made the passage from Wha.npoa to her dock in 104 days, a performance winch as yet ranks A 1, notwithstanding she had to beat down the China seas against tlie monsoon '1 he American ship Mrrprne came next, a clipper which, when at home, it was s.iid, would eclipse all her predecessors, and astonish the world by her performances. No doubt she did, her eulogists, by taking two da\ a longer than the Stomiway, and commg at a more favourable period. Alter hei came from her first voyage the Chrysolite, also an Aberdeen built clipper ship, belonging to Messrs. Taylor, Potter, and Co., ot Liverpool, which made the passage from Whampoa, to the Mersey in one day under the time occpuied by the crack Yankee on her run, and but one day more than the Stowaway Tue last arrival from China was reported in Liverpool pn Monday morning, by electric telegraph, namely, that of the white Squall, another American, which also required two days longsr than the Storntway, and one more than the Chrysolite, to reach the cud of her voyage. — Lueipool Albion.
