SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

If.d regret to have to that -the Erailv Allieon, C.u.. -r ; an g ley, bou.i.l for Syduey Venf— 3f^ie while going out of the river morning last. The weather was not very propitious, hut, as the captain was anxious to get out before the tides began to trike off, a boat vvent down' on that morning with several'hands to help her . out. The vessel had rounded the point on which the pilot .station stands, when the. wind suddenly failed, and the sea drove her on the north bank, where she still; lies. The passengers were all safely.landed; and a. detachment of twenty soldiers, with a number of. civilians, went, down to discharge the cargo—which, consisting chiefly of potatoes in-bulk, it took U considerable time to, land. The most having been got out by the evening tide, an attempt was. made to get the vessel off,- which, however, owing to the high sea, was unsuccessful, and being now. miich lighter she was driven higher up on the beach. Further, efforts have been made since, but .without effect; and now .ffie must lie where she is till next spring tides. Anchors have been laid out, end every preparation made,for taking .advantage of the first opportunity to get her 1 into deep water; meanwhile, she does not seem to have sustained any material injury. She is supposed to be uninsured.
