The screw steam-ship William Denny at rived in harbour on Saturday night, under the command cfCaptain Lovitt, after a somewhat boisterous passage of seven days. Her upward passage hence was an equally tempestuous one. having had. during the latter part of it, to contend with head winds and a cross sea. The Wm. Denny cleared Sydney Heads on the 23rd uK, at B’3o p.m. The weather at that time was calm, but she Lad not proceeded far on her course when it gradually changed, until it blew « hard gale from the south-west, accompanied wiih thunder and ligh ning. There was a heavy sea running, and the gale continuing with increased seventy, the ship wax hove-to on the 25th, abd eomioued in that position during the next eighteen hour-. She brings a lull general cargo, together with six and twenty horses alive, six others having died during the passage. She has likewise conveyed flfty passengers on the present occasion ; so that, as has been justly remarked, the prospects for her future successful enterprise may already be regarded as encouraging. We have been requested by Mr. Thomas Macky, Secretary of the A. S. N. Company, to give publicity to the following extract of a letter received from Dr. Campbell, which satisfactorily explains the cause of tho William Denny’s detention in Sydney:— “ Two flanges of the screw proved to be broken on arrival. Captain Mailier thinks on the passage down, the ship came against a log wood, as suddenly a difference in the motion and increase of shaking took place when rounding the North Head. Having a spare screw on board, it has been put in, with three days extra delay, or lime would have been kept for the 20th, as appointed.”

Captain Mailler, we Lave been informed, remain* in Sydney during ibe present trip, for the purpose of placing the affairs of the Company on the most sa isfactory and efficient basis '1 be brg Moa, Captain Bowden, arrived in harbour on Monday n ght. She cleared out from Sydney on the 22nd ult., hut did not sail until the 24ih. She has consequently made an excellent passage of little more than eight days. The TioKr. —A short time before bis death. Captain Giffard, the commander of the Tiger, called to his bedside ihe crew of the vessel which he commanded, both officers and sailors, and addressed them in these words, “ My boys, you owe your lives to my wound, which prevented me from blowing up the vessel. Farewell. Salute our dear England whenever you revisit her.” After these words be asked for 1 a gla-s of lemonade, turned hia face to the wall, and expired. — GaiftU di Lausanne,

A Floating Anchor Las been invented by Capta n A. F. Lewis, now residing at Turtle, Wisconsin. It is composed of planks, readily and firmly bolted together in the form of a square sail, say 8 feet by 10 feet, and let down over the bow of a drifting vessel to a depth sufficient to shield it from the action of surface currents when it (as certified by sea captains who have seen it tried) willibring the vessel’s head to the wind in tiny sea, and reduce her drift from four miles per hour to one’. We should think this a good idea, but the opinion of nautical men will doubtless be taken with regard to it.—New York Tribune. The Callao ship reported in our last, ns having arrived in this port, is the brig Splendid, Captain Hacker. 'l'his vessel originally left Callao under the command of Captain Mudiyan, but before the vessel bad got out ol Callao Bay, the Captain was murdered by one ot bis crew, who stabbed him with ft knife and then jumped overboard. The brig was brought back to port, and after a delay of three or four days, the present commander took charge of her, and sailed, being bound for Melbourne, with about 120 passengers. At Tahiti, the captain left in custody one of the men who had made an attempt, very nearly successful, to slab him. We learn that about a week before the Splendid left Callao, the Russian frigate Pallas was there. She is described as a very fine vessel ; her officers mostly speaking English well, and being remarkably confident of their own prowess. About four days after she left port, the English steamer Virago brought news of the declaration of war, and immediately that vessel, together with the English frigate President, the French trigate Le Fort, and a French brig, put to sea, as is supposed in pursuit of the Pailas. The Splendid has been brought up the river to Eagle Farm, and the damage to her rudder repaired. Most of the passengers have left, many Laving gone to Sydney, as Captain Hacker is obliged to wait for despatches from Melbourne. —Morclan Bay Courier , Sept. S.
