Stress of weather has driven tho Wallace for shelter to t!io lagoon, where she has remained since Saturday morning last, being unable to discharge cargo owing to the heavy fresh in the river, the want of proper wharfage accommodation, and the heavy downpour of rain. If a few hours fine weather prevails she may probably discharge cargo •' to-day. A. sailing craft, supposed to be Maid of •Erin, from Melbourne, was standing off and on in the roadstead yesterday afternoon. The latest heroine who has come before the public is Mrs Clifford, of Stockton, Maine, -who has just brought to port the brig Abbio Clifford, after enduring the vicissitudes of weather, health, and climate. Tho Abbie Clifford is a brig, owned by Clifford, Smith, and others, that left Pernamhuco on the 27th of March, bound for New York, with <i. cargo of sngar. While at Pemaitibuco the yellew fever was at its 'height, aud the crew were all taken sick, ■ and the steward, T. T. Fay, of Stockton, ■ Mairio, died. The rest of the crew re- ' covered, and, after getting 'a clean bill of health, tbeystarted homeward bound. Before they had been many days at sea tho pestilence brdke out afresh, and the first victim seized was a seaman of the name of 'Gustavo Johnson, w v o eventually buc■oumbed, and was buried on'the 2nd of April. The captain, a native of Stockton, Me., of the name of Clifford, was then taken sick and died on the sth of April; and on the of the Ba*ne month, the first officer, jail n Smith, of Steep Falls, Me., also fell a
victim to i Ik; same disease. Tt was at this "time Hiat ths energy of woman wao brought to light, for Mrs Clifford, who bad also been confined to her bed by yellow fever, on the death of her husband came out on deck and undertook to navigate the ship. Mis Clifford is a woman of small stature, dark hair, pleasing face, lit up with a pair of sparkling eyes, radiant with intelligence and fire. When the time came that she was called upon to preserve the lives of those on board, she was found equal to her task, and nobly did her duty. On the voyage home, Mrs Clifford was assisted by Mr Hitcliborne, of Stockton, Me., the second mate, an intelligent boy, who quickly learnt from her the rudiments of navigation,and proved of invaluable assistance during the voyage home. They crossed the line on the 6th of April, and met with favorable weather up to Cape Hsitteras, where they fell in with heavy weather. Here the seamanship of the second mate was brought into requisition, and, encouraged by the presence of the captain's wife, -who was always on deck, they passed through the storm with only some trifling damage. The Abbie Clifford has arrived off Staten Island, and is in quarantine, owing to'the yellow fever.
