The .Mountain-Maul cleared for this port from Sydney on the 10th instant, with a full cargo of sundries, and sailed ou the 14th. The brig Dart is advertised for Nelson and this port, and the Louis and Miriam for tlii3 port direct, to sail in a few days after the 17th inst. The steamer Lord Worsley paid us ah unexpected visit on Monday, in place of the Prince Alfred, whose accident is recorded below. The Lord Worsley was taken up for the duty in a hurry, as she was preparing to go on the slip: her boilers and furnaces also were undergoing inspection, an.d she conies down with several tubes short. Notwithstanding this she lias made her; passage exceedingly well, and there is little doubt that she vyill contrive to get back to Sydney by the T3th prox. The mail is arir nounced toclose for her at 5 p.m. on .Thursday.'-;.', Return of the Steamer Prince Alfred.--The steamer Prince Alfred^ which left Sydney on Saturday night last, for Nelson, New -Zealand,! returned to port at 1230 last night, dismasted. She met with a very heavy gale from the S.E. on Sunday, -which continued during Monday! The violence of.the gale : carried away her fore and thizen topmasts; mainmasthead, fore-topsail, top-gallant yard, and .split the foresail and jib. She lost 53 horses and'a number of sheep, and owing to.the quantity of water shipped, the cargo is considerably damaged. On Tuesday, at 10 a.m;, as there was no appearance of change, Captain Bowden deemed it desirable to make for-Syd-ney, and anchored opposite the^Grafton Wharf at; the hour above stated.— S. M. Herald, Feb.; 16;
The same journal of the following day says :— The Prince Alfred steamer is now discharging her. cargo and' coals into the Lord Worsley^ which- vessel will start for Nelson to-day. Upon enquiry we learn' that the steamer left Sydney Heads about six p.m. on Saturday, with the wind;a't south-east, and a head sea; all,went well with every appearance of the weather shifting to the north-east during the night, but towards'morning on the; 12th it commencedvtb freshen : up again from thel south-east, a heaVy sea rising and by 4 p.m. it.'.was.'.blowing a gale. The horses on deck commenced losing; their footing, and got down'with the.heavy; rolling of the ship; a good deal of water getting on board, little or no assistance could be afforded to the animals, and during the night many of them died. Those stowed below also fetched away from their stalhs; the fearful rolling of the steamer rendering it totally impossible to secure them. About 1 a.m.- oh the 13th, the iron cap of the foremast giving way/the foretopmast and topgallantmast, with yards attached, came down with a tremendous crash, and shortly after the mainmast head broke short off about three above the hounds, the maintopmast arid gear attached falling on the quarter-deck; fortunately without injuring any one.; The wind hauling more to the southward, the steamer was hove to, arid endeavours made to clear thedecks of the dead cattle, and also to secure the spars' that were alongside, but they were ultimately cut adrift, all the live stock on deck being drowned. , Only one course was left for Captain Bowden, viz., to bear up for Sydney. It appears most extraordinary that none of the crew were hurt from the quantity of wreck that must have been washing about by every sea that broke on board, and she must be a very fine sea boat to have weathered the gale with so" little injury. .-.'■• •.

The barque John Lawson, from London, with passengers and cargo, was signalled yesterday afternoon, and anchored at the Heads last night,'top late for us to obtain her report.—The brig Mountain Maid, from Sydney, also arrived at the jfleads, and brought up there, the wind being unfavourable.
