IS! PORTS —FO REICH?. Per Dolores, from Melbourne :—2OO boxes nails. lI.M. Colonial Government Hrig, Victoria, Captain Deck, returned on .Thursday afternoon, from RussoN, with a deiachmmt of lI.M. 50th Regt. We understand she is to make another trip to the Uay of Islands, with 8 further exchange of troops. The Chilian barque, Dolores, Captain Throop, has had a pleasant run of lb" days from Port Phillip, and brings numerous cabin and intermediate passengers. So pleasant indeed was the weather throughout the passage that the topgallant-sails.set at Port Phillipbeads, were never taken in untill the vessel was inside Tiri-tiri-matanga, beating up the Gulf against a fresh Soutberl,'breeze. On the passage hence, to Melbourne, Capt. Thronp, repoits having encouniered a succession of the heaviest gales he ever experienced, and bad the Dolores not been a good* sea boat, nothing could have saved her in the weather encountered off Cape Howe; on one occasion three heavy seas in succession having filled her decks, a squall striking her at the same ti.ne carrying the mam-trysail and fore-top-mast-stay-sail bef< re it, and blowing the maintop-sa 1 out o.f the bolt ro;>es. Notwithstanding the heavy weather the Dolores made the passage up in 26 days, about half the time taken Uv the other vessels sailing about the same date. Tiif Deborah was 40 days over it, the Will-o'-the-W i«p heme the same Hay as the Dolores, having been 51 days out when she went ashore inside Port Phillip heads. Curtain Throop, reports the Eugene, Captain Casey, hence IfMh September as having cast anchor in Hohson's Bay ns the Dolores was getting under way on the 14th ultimo ; find the Chieftain, as being ready to sdlfor Auckland about the 17ih October. The Chieftain is a fine first class Clyde built barque, about 400 tons register, purchased by our enterprising townsmen, Messrs. Bain & Bo.rU, for the London trade, and may now be daily looked for to load her first cargo hence. The Kestrel. — It is with much pleasure we have learned that this fine brig has been secured for our port bavine become the property of Captain Lillewal, Captain Wallace and others who are to register her at Auckland, and employ her in the Colonial trade. The Kestrel, is we btlieve, a Montrose built brig, (fiom ihe same yard as the Indiana, so highly spoken of in the Melbourne papers), stands A at 1 l-oyds, and from th* quick pa.-sages she has hitherto made, cannot fail of being a most important accession to our shipping, when so much of our exports are of a kind requiring that ready despatch which smart sailing vessels, such as the Kestrel, alone can se-ure.

Will o'-the-Wisp, scl.ooner, from Auckland, 22nd August, has gone on William Sand ; the master and crew have left her, ami she appears to be going to pieces. Gtelotig Adoettisrr. The schooner reported in yesterday's Argus ashore nt tm* Head*, was the Will o*-the-Wisp, from Auckland, loaded with timber, brick*, potatoes, &c. She ■was sailing up ou Saturday evening, in company with the Victoria Packet, and could not work off William's Sand, opposite Swan's Point, where she run aground and became n total .wreck. All the men on board were brought up by the Wanderer yesterday to Hobson's Bay. The loss of the schooner must be a great calamity to the Captain, for we understand he was the sole owner of both her and the cargo.— Melbourne Argus, Oct. 11. The Osmanli, Scrrw Sieameh.—This vessel which made her first call in our Bay on Friday last, will, we are informed by Captain Corbett, visit us regularly in bf»r way to and from Adelaide.— Poitland Herald, O.t. 7.

Forti.and —The ship New Zealander, with five hundred immigrants, may, we understand, hi.' expected shortly; and the Daniel Wheeler, barque, will follow with merchandise,— Helfast Gazette. The Oitiioxa. —This vessel, from London direct, arrived in Portland on the 2nd inst., having made the passage in 92 days. She brings a general cargo and 350 immigrants. We understand that although the agent at that port has commissions to engage upwards of a thousand bands for various persons in the interior, yet so bad is the stale of the roads that but few of these arrivals will be able to proceed up the country. We shall therefore stand a chance ofobtaininga supply for ourewn necessities. Messrs. Rutledge and Co. very promptly despatched the Emma on Thursday evening lust to Portland for the purpose of bringing over as many as could be obtained, and her arrival may he hourly expected. Among the immigrants are 70 young women and lb lads.— Belfast Gazette.
