The City of Melbourne. — From telegrams received from Sydney via. 'okitika, weleam that the City of Melbourne was GOO mileoub from Sydney when she bioke down, and finding ttnj wind favourable made the best of her way b u>k t J Sydney under canvas. We learn that tha s.s. City of Adelaide was to have left \yclmy for this poit on tlio 23id with th" City of Melbourne's mails, cargo, auJ pa^ongera. She may therefore be looked for to-day Thk Seuoovnu Aruo.- By telo.-rams sent us fiom liukitik.i we notice that the Argo is announced as having arrived at Newcastle, N.S.W., flora Auckland. We hope that the news may be correct, although it certainly nppe.us iem.irk.ible that a vessel that had cleared outwards from the Thames for Russell should pioceed to Newcastle, and when tioubt was expressed for her safety, and recognised portions of the schooner v/ere found and the news published, there was no one able to set the public right and tell them that the vessel had uot sailed for Russell but for Newcastle. It can hardly be said that foul weatiiur compelled the vesael to run for that oort. Liz u<d Siqmal Station — G. C. Fox »nd Co., of Faltnnuth, have built a signal station-house on Beast Point, about three quarters ><i a mile east of the Lizard Lighthouse, tlw highest and most conspicuous point in the Lizard distiict The Post-office Departmei.t have undertaken* to erect and maintain a telegraph wire from the signalhouse direct to Falmouth, by which passing vessels cau communicate with the shore and consignees, &c, with vessels arriving off the Lizard. The barque Leonidas, and brig Jane, both cleared outwards for .Newcastle yesterday in ballast. By telegram we learn that the mail steamer Nebraska, from this port, aruved at Dunediu at 9.10 yesterday morning, after a rapid passage of 4 days 9 hours, including stoppages at Napier, Wellington, and Lyit lton The barque Tyrol left Nelson early yesterday morning for this port. On arrival she will load for London. Stkanding of a Cuitee on Flat Rook. — By the arrival on Monday at the Thames of the three-masted schooner Policeman, coal 1 iden, from the Bay of Islands, we learn fiom U.iptain Evans that a hrge cutter was lyiug stra ided on the Flat Rock, near Ka<vau Island, as lie passed there ou ihe previous evening, bound for the Thames. Captain Evans left the Bay on >aturday, 25th insfc., and passed Flat Rock at 5 p.m. on Sunday. He reports that another cutter was lying off and on, apparently attending the stranded vessel, but ho wa3 unable to make out the name of either vessel. The one on Plat Rock was a large vessel, aud had, apparently, a load of timber on bo'wd at the time. Her sails were furled, but no person appeared to be on board She was high out ot the water at the time, as the tide was low. — Advertiser.
