As far as the roadstead and entranco are concerned, yesterday was one of our "red letter" days, the sea being remarkably smooth, whilst a single line of eurf only, that a boat might havo crossed, broke npon the beach. The channel, too, was all that the moßt warj shipmaster could desire, the run out being straight as a dart, with twelve feet of water in tho shallowest part. Although there was nothing in sight on the previous night, tho three tug boats ran outside at daybreak, trusting that something might have arrived during tho hours of darkness. They wore, however, disappointed; for, as the morning brightened, not a soil could be seen in the offing ; so when the tide turned there was a genoral return to tho wharf.
