The barque Elizabeth, Captain McNab, was signalled on Sunday and arrived in port on Monday afternoon, after an unusually protracted passage from London. This vessel took on board, in the docks, on the 15th December, seven fine bulls, bred upon Earl Spencer's own farm in Northamptonshire, and picked from the herd of that distinguished agricultural nobleman for Messrs. Brown, Cox, and Co., of this province. The Elizabeth was unfortunate in getting away from the land, and after a collision at sea, put back into Ramsgate for repairs on the 20th December, leaving that port finally on the 13th January. On the 23rd of that month, Young Ireland, one of the older of the bulls, died somewhat suddenly, without any apparent cause, except that the weather had been bad at the time, and the animal had been very much knocked about. On the 17th February, Vaulter, also an elderly animal, followed his companion, in spite of all that care and attention could do to preserve his life. The latter bull was rising five years old, and the former had turned six years. The two had stood together on the deck, and their houses cleared away. About the middle of March, a sea which broke over the ship's side broke the house which stood at the aftar part of the deck in which were housed Victor, Dover, and Daventry. The house was carried away to the lee side of the ship, and before the fittings could be righted again the inhabitants were coßsiderably knocked about. Shortly afterwards Victor began to fall off in health, and continued ailing till the end of the voyage, when but little hope was entertained of his recovery. He has been safely landed, however, in a somewhat improved state of health, although his joints are very much swollen, and almost every bone has found a passage through the skin. The other animals are in good health and spirits, and are pictures of the bovine tribe ; Regicide being a strikingly handsome creature. The Elizabeth during the latter part of her protracted voyage ran short of water, bo that when on Sunday the Avery -was fallen in with, the loan of a small supply from the latter vessel was a godsend. The cargo of the Elizabeth, with the exception of the live-stock, is all for Otago, for which port sh» will Bail without delay.— Lyttelton Times, Mayas. The barque Avery, Captain Jellard, left London Docks on the 14th February, and dropped her anchor on the 16th at the Downs, making thence a clear run out of the channel. The voyage was without incident worth notice. Land wns made, on the 16th instant,:, and this port entered on the 20th. The Avery also has a cargo of live-stock, consisting of four very fine young bulls, selected from the celebrated herds of Mr. R. Stratton, to the order of Mr. Brunsden of this province. They have come out in splendid condition, without a scratch or sign of failing health or strength. -Ibid.
