The subjoined information with regard to the anchorage at the Maiden or Nicholson Island in the South Pacific, which, has of late attracted so much attention on account of its valuable guano deposits, is supplied by Captain Lyle, of the ship Bruce, and Captain Langford, of the barque Bride of the Seas. Captain Lyle, who writes at length and explicitly, states that he considers the anchorage good, and quite safe for any ship. A stranger on first coming would think it rather close to the shore ; but there is no danger except Tvhat can be seen, and after the anchor is down, and fifty to sixty fathoms of cable paid out, a ship •will lie "quite safe. Capt. Lyle further informs shipmasters coming to the island that they should have plenty of chain overhauled over the windlass, say, thirty-five fathoms, as, when the anchor j is let go, and the chain not quickly paid out, the ship is liable to drift off tha bank before the anchor holds. Captain Langford states^ that during his stay at the island, the winds were from E.N.E. to E.S.E., moderate breezes, and from experience he would not -wish for _ a better anchorage. He also intimates that shipmasters ■with the" assistance they -will receive from Captain Paterson, -will not have the slightest difficulty in bringing their vessels to a safe anchorage. — Argtus, 17th January. The ship Robert Henderson has now completed her loading, having upwards of 2000 bales of wool onboard, besides a largenumber of hides, a quantity of tallow, and other produce of the province. — Times, 13th Jan.
