The ship Lady Young, which sailed from this port in March last, with passengers for British Columbia, returned on Saturday, timber laden, after a detention of a weok''Ufsule the Heads, in consequence of the heavy south-westerly winds which have lately prevaile'l. On the passage hence, light winds were experienced at the first, and (luring tho latter part the 8. X, trades hung much to the northward. Captain Morrison touched only at Tahiti, where he obtained fresh provisions, &c. Havjnir landed his passengers it Victoria, he proceeded to Utsalndy, i i Washington territory, where he received his cargo of timber. From Victoria, which is a finely situated township, the majority of his passengers set out for the British Columbia trold tlelds, but in many instances they were deterred from proceeding to their destination by the difficultiesof the country, and the scarcity and dearness of provisions, notwithstanding the belief that the district is richly aurif.-rous. Four of the Lady Young's original passengers return with her, and many more would have done so, if she could have afforded the accommodation. M Utsalndy the vessel was detained two months' loading. The timber she brings is some of the finest seasoued lumber that lias been imported into New Zealand, and includes some fine spars and planks, such as are procurable only in the rich forests of Washington and Columbia. When iv harbour, the vessel had a spar as fender equal to her own length; spars were seen full 230 feet in Jength ; others 46 inches in diameter ; and many heavy sticks were being at the time shipped for the Spanish and other governments. As specimens of other products of the district, Captain Morrison has in his possession some beautiful elk and deer homo, with sundry quaint a t:c!es raanufai tured by the natives. The situation in which the ship lay is described as being occasionnlly exceedingly difficult of approach, on account of the strong tides and prevailing winds, but in Puget Sound and all i+s estuaries there is the deepest water almost close to the shores, which are lined to the very edge with dense forest of the heaviest pines. Esquimault Harbor, contiguous to Victoria, ia one of the prettiest harbors to be seen in the world, and, being also safe, is a common resort for vessels. One peculiarity of it is that, in some of its upper reaches, a dull humming sound is heard, like the humming of birus on shore, but which is spoken of in the locality as a Bound produced by a humming fish, indigenous to the •waters. At the time the Lady Young was there, the man-of-war Charybdis was stationed in the bay. The Lady Young sai'e I from Victoria, on the return passage, on 6th of August last, having left the sawmills on the 2nd. With head winds she cleared the Straits on the 10th, and subsequently had southerly and baffling winds to the 28th, or for 26 days. After the 30th. had the trades, but principally from E.S.E. to E. Touched at Honolulu on the Bth September, and left at midnight on the 10th, having, in the interval obtained a well-manufactured casting • for the ship's pump, -which had been, accidentally broken. " 1 here Captain Morrison received also other necessaries, along with some despatches and papers, for the authorities and business firms in New Zealand; southward the Lady Young experienced rainy and and we have received from him Honolulu files, containing news of the dea h of tbeyoung Prince of Hawau, and San Francisco papers up to Auerust 23rd, containing New York telegrams to August 20th. From Honoufu squally weather; touched at Massacre Bay, in one of the Navigator Islands; and reached the Heads on the morning of Monday week, from which time it was mpossible to make the Port. At Port Chalmers she has come close up to the Jetty, for the purpose of facilitating the discharge of her timber. The other vessel from Vancouver's Inland—the Alice Thorndyke —still lies inside the Heads, discharging part of her cargo into lighters, so as to reduce her draught of water.

...The barque Acacia Ipft Sydney on the morning of the Bth instant, experience'! S.tVE. gales for fiva days. Rounded Stewart's Island on the 18th distant, with heavy wetth-n\'.carrying. away port-atmchioua, rails, :md mid-ship life boat. Arrive.] ofi' the H^atls on Monday week; when she was driv.-n off; and continued in company with tho Lady Young until Friday night, when shh g<>fc inside. The Barque Lion sailed on the same morning as the Acacia, bub took the route through Cork's Straits. From Capfaln .-Sinclair or fro;a Cupttin Hi.iui.in, we have Sydney papers up to dace. When the Lw.'i left, the Spray,; the Stately, and other vessels were laM on for this port. The schooner Suprise, from Auckland, brings timber and potatoes, which she discharire3 in town, whither she proceeded on Saturday evening. She has had a seventeen days'passage, characterised by heavy weather, which caused her the loss of her jibboom . From Captain Brand we have Auckland panera to the Bth, or two days' later than by la3t mail.

The brig Remark arrived in Port early on Sunday morning. She left Wellington early on the 16th, on which day the Wonjra Wonga, our latest arrival thence, also sailed. At-first had variable weather, with a very low glass, but" made a short run to the Heads, with the los-» of only three head of cattle. Subsequently it came on to blow fiercely, and being driven oft with a heavy sea l-unuing, she had a considerable and unusual I<jss among her stock, haviug shipped 116 and landed only 80. She also has two horses on board, When she left Wellington, the Yarrow was taking in her stock, and the Lombard waiting for her freight of fAt cattle. The Remark, which was very fortunate on her previous trip, has two other trips to make from Wellington with n similar freight. The Thauc of Fife, from Sydney, is anchored at the Heads ; with a brig, and some other craft, names unknown.

The Greyhound, for Melbourne, was towed out by the Samson, early on. Saturday morning. Two other departures sailed and towed down later 'in the'day. We learn from the Han Francisco Bulletin that the Seaman's Bride had put into San Francisco on the 27th August, en route to Victoria, Vancouver's Island, 85 days out from Melbourne.
