When the barque Especulador left Kalpara on Wednesday last, the following vessels were loading or waiting to be loaded for this port:—Young Dick, Wild Wave. Exonia, and Hannah Broomfield. The brig Mary Grant, which left Clarence River for this port with a cargo of timber some time ago, sprung a leak, and had to put into Newcastle. From there she was t -wed to Sydney, where her cargo had to be dhchargod, and she herself was docked. The barque Australind, from Newcastle, with a cargo of coal, arrived hero last evening at 6 o’clock, after a long passage down, caused by encountering unfavorable winds. She left Newcastle on the 31st ult., and during 14 days only made 280 miles, on account of meeting with easterly winds. Afterwards met strong north-west winds, which carried her to the land, making it on Saturday night last.

The brigantine Darcy Pratt arrived in port at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon from Clarence River, X.S.W., with a cas of 70,000 feet ironbark timber for the wharf extension, and COO spokes, Her passage down has occupied seventeen days, having left the Clarence on the 2nd February. ’ For eight to ten days had easterly weather, followed by north, and north-west winds till making the land on the 15th; thence light variable southerly weather through the Strait till yesterday, when a breeze from tb© northward was met'with, that took her into port. The brigantine F, W. Tucker and the Adonis were loading in Clarence River for this port when the Darcy l ralt left there. , .

The Pilot Hoard met at Melbourne on the 4th instant, for the purpose of resuming the inquiry into the circumstances attending the collision which took place between’ the steamer Arawata and the brig Albert the Good in Hooson’s Bay on the 4th January. The first witness called was Abraham Knoop, a .seaman on board the Albert the Good, who gave evidence that lie was at the wheel at the time the collision took place. He saw the steamer about twenty minutes before on the starboard bow. The Albert had all plain sail on and topgallant sails, and was beading W. by N. on the port tack. She was going about live or six knots an hour. One minute before the collision took place he was ordered to put the helm hard down, and he obeyo \ the order, but she went into the steamer, striking her on the port bow. John Cairns, the captain, William Mclntyre, the mate, and Patrick O'Reilly gave evidence of a similar character. The Board then gave the following decision “1. That there was no alteration of the course of the Albert the Goad, which caused the collision. 2. That the masterof the Arawata omitted to give sufficient warning to the Albert the Good by rounding the whistle, blowing off steam, or making ■ome decisive signal (which his skill and experience would suggest), to show that her engines could not be immediately moved, and that she was unable to get out of the way. 3. That though the 15th regulation for preventing collisions requires a steamer to keep out of the way of a sailing vessel, yet the master of the. Albert the Good was not bound to throw his vessel in danger, and that he did not take the necessary precaution of being ready for staying his vessel and putting her about, which, if he had done, would, in all prsbabllity, have prevented the collision. The board, in dealing with this matter, consider the masters of both vessels to have been guilty of errors in judgment, but not amounting to a default, and caution them to exercise more care in future."
