Maritime Record.

The inter-Colonial Royal Mail Steam ship Lord Ashley, Captain Wheeler , arrived in harbour yesterday at 2. 30. p.m., after a passage of six days from Sydney, whence she sailed or. the Kith instant, with a strong breeze from S. S. W. which she carried for two days. Afterwards had light easterly winds and fine weather; sighted a vessel on the night of the 19th. Passed the North Cape on the 21st, at 4p. m. The Lord Ashley was detained in Sydney twenty four hours beyond her usual time in consequence of the non arrival of the Mail Steamer. She brings seventy passengers in all, part of whom are diggers bound for Coromandel part a detachment of Royal Engineers. The American barque Glimpse, Captain Reynolds, hence July 16th arrived in Newcastle on the 12th instant, and was advertized for San Francisco. There is every probability of the Tasmanian Maid being placed on the line between Auckland and Coromandel, uuder Auckland owners. We are glad of this, as a finer or smarter little steamer of her inches we never set foot in. She is a paddle, has excellent cabin accommodation and we feel confident will become a general favourite. The ship Matilda Wattenhach, sailed from London oh the 29th, and Hanover on the 30th May, with 800 of the Nonconformist party on board. In addition to the ships already mentioned Indian Empire, Romulus, and Wi'liam Miles, the Lancashire Witch is again on the berth, together with the Ida Ziegler and Cairngorm, all for Auckland.

The Danish brig Isis, Captain Jepsen, hence the 4th ultimo, also arrived in Newcastle on the 13th instant. The barque Maori, Captain Muir, sailed from Newcastle for this port on the 13th instant. The only vessel advertized in the Sydney papers for this port was the baique Kate, which had not arrived at the date of the Ashley’s departure. The barque City of Melbourne, Captain Brown, hence the 31st ultimo, had not arrived in Sydney. The barque Ann and Jane, Captain Smith, arrived at Brisbane, on the 9lh instant.

The schooner Sea Gull, Captain Champion, sailed for Sydney for Taranaki on the Blh instant.

The ship Ringdove cleared out from Melbourne for Otago and this port on the 13th instant. Ihe Alfred Lemont was lo sail on the 23rd.

The brig Reliance, Captain Riddle, was to sail from Hobart Town for this port on the 14th instant. The Sporting Lass left Sydney on the 24th ultimo, bound for New Zealand, with a cargo of coal, but, when about fifty miles to the south-east, she commenced leaking, owing to her straining in a heavy sea. She was compelled to bear up for port to disclfbrge part of her cargo. The French transport Isis, originally from France, left the Cape of Good Hope on the 25th May, and Bourbon on the 18th June. She is bound for New Caledonia, with 300 troops, and will leave for that port in about ten days.
