The operations for the recovery of the cargo washed ashore from the wreck of the ship British Admiral at King's Island are now to a cejtain extent closed, and George Hill and a number of the men employed in the work have returned to Melbourne by the schooner Cygnet. This vessel also brought over the horses and drays which had been sent, and a small of cargo, together with some ship’s fittings. The cargo consists of tobacco, drapery and soft goods, hardware, and sundries. With the exception of deals and. boards, there is little or no cargo on the beach to bring over. There has been some heavy wea'her at the island lately, and it was thought some further portions of the cargo might have been washed ashore. Mr. Hammond, the Customs officer, had an inspection along the coast to ascertain if such was the case, but there was no sign of any more packages having been cast up on the beach. The Collector of Customs received despatches yesterday from Mr. Hammond, who intimated that there was little doing, as the bulk of the cargo had now been removed. So far as the Custom authorities here are concerned, they are ready to advise the return of Mr. Hammond, but the Tasmanian Government, it is said, have expressed a desire to retain his services on the island for some time longer. Mr, Hammond, some three weeks ago, met Hickmott, one of the hunters, returning from New Years Island, and the latter told him that he had picked up the head-boards of two vessels. One had ‘ Burton Stather” on it in gold letters on a blue ground, and the other had "Silver Stream" in yellow letters on a green ground. The Burton Stather arrived here from Hong Kong a few weeks ago, and then left for Sydney, and the Silver Stream was loading or to load at Manilla last month; so that they must have lost their head-boards some time ago. The Cygnet, which arrived yesterday, should have been here before this,, for she made a start from Currie Harbor on the 17th instant, but being unable to-beat out against the strong westerly winds which prevailed at the time, she had to anchor. She got under way again on the 19th, but in trying to weather Waterwitch Point she touched on a rock, and finding she was making water the master put hack to Currie Harbor, where she filled. The horses were landed and the cargo secured, and next morning she was pumped out and hove down, and the leak found out and stopped. Everything was done to make her ready again for sea as quickly as possible, and Lalor the master and all bands worked their hardest and did all la their power for the safety of the vessel and property. The recovery of the sunken portion of the cargo is to bo undertaken by divers, but it will be a work of time, as there is generally heavy weather to contend against at this time of year.
