' The whaling barque Caernarvon, Irving, arrived at Auckland on the 6th November, with 41 barrels oil. ' The barque Perseverance, 238 tons, Corkhill matter, cleared out from Sydney for Auckland, on the Ist December- * - The Elizabeth spoke an American whaler in the "Straits, bound to the southward. From whence she was going to Sydney to refit. 3*he American ship Brandt has been out 26 TnonlhsYrom*New Bedford ; she has been pretty successful* In addition to -her present cargo, whilstat Rio de Janeiro, she sold 300-barrels, and sent home 1000 of sperm oil. The Mana had arrived at Akoroa with the New Police Magistrate, Mr. Watson. .The barque Hamlet had arrived at Sydney with news from England up to the beginning of August. 'The barque Raymond, 560 ton?, Capt. M'Kay, vai off Deal on the 26th July. The French corvette Seine had been despatched from France, for Tahiti, with 2'tO troops. After landing these -.men, -she is to come on to New -Zealand to protect the French settlers at Akaroa. The Garland Grove, supposed 'to have been lost owing to the manganese ore on board, had arrived safely at "Liverpool, and was loading again for Sydney. The ship Cattle Eden, from Hobart Town to Sydney, spoke the American whaler Sharon, five months out, with 100 barrels sperm oil on board, bound to the coast of New Zealand.

Le Rhik . — The French corvette Le Rhin having come on from New Caledonia for the purpose of being repaired, being found to be mi a leaky condition, it was matter^of question, as- she was Qf too^great a tonnage io go on .the Patent Slip,at^rhit place it wottid- be'most-^cmVeirteitt lo ' hiiave her down. It wai at length determined • to do to at Moore's Wharf, and' for sfatne time past the most -active preparations. have! been .4nak?ngto Tender everything- secure' by removing the old spat ■ which were imbedded in the •artH to which the blocks were made" fast, and replacing them with new ones of larger dimentiont. The crew have been busily engaged for the last three weeks in unshipping all but the lower masts, and removing stores, guns, ammunition, and all -other things on board, to the stores pn the wharf, which have proved most convenient for the occasion, as they also afford berths for the crew and petty officers, who hive lived in (hem since they commenced stripping the 'ship. On account of Le Rhin being tfe tng'ea't ship that has 'been hove down in the hirbouT-of Port Jackson, doubts were expressed by many as to its practicability ; but, from the excellent arrangements made by Messrs.. Martyr At Palmer, of the .Patent Slip, who have undertaken the Job, everything answers admirably. Yesterday morning, at six o'clock, a number of persons were assembled on the wharf to witness the undertaking;" a double purchase of two tackles and. falls had been made fast to the fore and main masts, which were worked by four capstans on the wharf; and fearing that she night capsize, 4>r be heavy in coming up again •ftef being hove keel put, a warp was passed

from *o outrigger on the tide to under the keel,' and over a p«ir of shears rigged on the wharf, then leading to two of the bower anchors placed on riiore. About six o'clock, they began to •way away on the capstans, when she gradually came down without accident, until her xtarboard bulwarks were under water. The keel was by this time out of the water, when an inspection was held as to the state of her bottom, which was found to be sounder than expected, as very little of her copper was off"; but her seams were evidently strained under the forerigging, and near the garboard streak. As the leak could not be detected, we believe the Cora modore has determined upon stripping her, and having her newly caulked and coppered. — Syd. Morn. Herald.
