It will be seen by our telegrams that the steamers for the new San Francisco mail service are arriving in the Colonies after surprising passages The s.s Mongol has arrived at Port Chalmers from London, after a run of 494 days from laud to land, and the s.s Tartar has arrived at Sydney from Hong Kong, after a very quick passage. mere were no arrivals or departures at this port yesterday. m The last mail from America brought the interesting information that the ship Splendid had left Sew Bedford in the month of November for Port Chalmers, where she will take up her headquarters as a whaler. The Splendid is a ship rigged vessel of 360 tons burden, and is ownedby flome miners at the Blue Spur, Tuapeka, and some parties at Port Chalmers. On the arrival of the Splendid at this port she will no doubt set at once to work, with the view of securing for her owners the bonus of LSOO which is offered by the Government for the £"x i? r i° , of whale oil - Zt is to be h °P ed that the bplendid will prove to be the pioneer of a large fleet of Port Chalmers whalers This w almost certain to be the case, as from all accounts whaling in those seas will prove to be avery profitable industry without the 01a of Government bonuses. According to advices ju»t received by his Honor the Superintendent of Otago. the ship Scimitar has left London for Port Chalmers with 430 immigrants on board. She sailed in December last. m A serious accident happened on the 4th instant to a shipwright named ftobt. Miller, who was employed at the building of the new schooner at Port Chalmere. It appeared he was standing on a stage, and engaged in moulding the cutwater, when his foot slipped, and he fell on to one of the blocks of the vessel, a distance of some 12ft Bis mate immediately picked him up, and as he complained of great pain about the chest and shoulder, and appeared to be much hurt.
