St. Kikli, after lying twenty-four hours outside the-Grey bar, v.a's unable to make tire entrance owing to insufficient water.

We.learn by telegram that the Kennedy had to put back to Nelson, Laving- broken the shaft of her engine. A schooner, supposed to be the Lady Don, from Lytlkton, arrived ia the roadstead yesterday evening.

A singular fact in connection with the arrival of the new steamship Queen ••(' the Thames, recently arrived at Melbourne, u

th.it news of her arrival was most likely received within sixty-five days of her departure from Plymouth. She was at King Ge rge's Sound on the Sth hist.; the mail ste.uni-r Geelong carried that intelligence, and was due at, Gulie on the 25th. from whence a telegram should reach London within twenty-four hours, thus accomplhhing a feat which is without, precedent ia our shipping news.

'ihe Cerberus arrived at Gibraltar, "all well,"„after a rough passage from Plymouth. From the Rock she proceeded to Malta. In a letter from Gap tain Panter to .th>* AgentGeneral for Victoria in London, that gentleman expressed himself as highly pleased with his command, and spoke in high terms of the behaviour or the ship in heavy weather, of which they experienced a good deal in the Bay cf Bi.-cuy.
