The despatch u<nd in this instance is unprecedented in the port of Sydney, and an earnest oi what can he done to prevent any disappointment accruing to the public, and ensuring a regularity of communication.— Sydney Morning Herald, June 11. Loss of the Amuricax Whaim St. Peter.— The chief officer of this vessel arrived here yesterday by the brie Experiment, and has furnished us with the following particulars : — The American whaling barque bt. Peter, 280 tons. Captain T. G. Young, of and from New Bedford, slightly struck on a reef *hile going over th* bar at Kangaroo harbour, Chatham Islands. When inside the harbour, and at anchor, the pumps were tried, but she did not make more water than usual. Next morning she was pumped again with the same result. On the evening of the fourth day after, the vessel sunk at her anchor in about 2$ fathoms water, the crew, with the exception of the watch on deck, being in bed at the time. The only way by which they could account for the vessel not making more water than usual, was that part of the rock must have remained in her bottom, but had afterwards gradually worked-out, There were 80 barrels of-oil on board, which, together with spars, sails, provisions. &c, were saved, but the hull became a t >tal wreck. The reason for the vessel going to Chatham Wand was to obtain men, she being shoit handed in consequence of a boat's crew of six men having run NWay with a boat from the ship when off the b. >\ Cape of New Zealand. The ship's stores, oil, &c, were nold at auction on the Uland. The crew were paid their wa»es Captain Younsj, was part owner of the vessel, remained on Chatham Island We understand the vessel was insured. — Ibid. " The experiment arrived yesterday, from Chatham Islands, having been absent three months and a half from this port. She reports the. brig Sea Nymph and schooner James Gibson, as lying there waiting to load potatoes for Sydney, and would shortly follow Captain Carlson states there were several Germans living on Chatham Wands •"they are the crew of a schooner (name unknown) which had been lo«t there, 'and obtain their Kvingby trading amongst the natives.— lbid.
