The schooner Sarah, which has been chartered by Mr Tt. "Reeves, will leave to-day on a trading voyngo, her first port of call being .Tacksoii's Bay. An opportunity is thus nffordod thoso wishing to proceed to that locality of leaving at onco. The Katheraw, schooner, left Melbourne on the 21st January with light variable winds nnd fine weather. Next day the wind settled stfalily into theeast, and for six days she was kept in the Straits thrashing against east and south-east breezes. On the 2?th she was favored with a slant from the south, which enabled her to clear the land ; but immediately after the wind Hew into its old quarter, whore it remained diving nearly the whole of her run acrors. On the 3rd, i*> freshened into a severe gale, accompanied by a heavy sea nnd blew without intermission for three days, the vessel in the meantime, laboring heavily with reduced canvas and making very bad weather of it indeed. Through her excessivestraining, some of her senms opened, she commenced leaking to such a degree that tho pumps had to bo attended to every half hour. On the 11th Iho wind shifted into tho S.W., and blew up a smart galp for a few hours, increasing the leak nnd compelling the crow to keep the pumps nearly constantly going. On tho 13th land was made, nnd tho auchor wns dropped in tho roadstead tho day after. No • Btoam tug being at hand she voiiiained thero until tho next morning, when ulio wns taken in tow by the Bruce, and conveyed safoly to tho wharf. Tho Katheraw brings a full general cargo to tho port. .1
