A letter received in Sydney, from a member of the Duke of Edinburgh’s suite, states that the Galatea will refit here, and remain three months, after which she will visit New Zealand, and return home next year via Cape Horn. Intelligence has been received th it the Galatea may be expected towards the end of June. — Argus, May 21. The Russian Imperial corvette Bazarin is now somewhere in these waters. She arrived at Adelaide on the 9th inst., having left the Cape of Good Hope 36 days before. Her stay at Adelaide was very short, probably owing in some measure to the free manner in which the local press described her appearance, which seems to have been rather un-man-of-war-like. She put to sea again, in order, it is to be presumed, to get brushed up a little.— Argus, May 21. H.M.S.S. Challenger, Commodore Lambert, is now in Hobson’s Bay, having arrived a few days ago from New Zealand. She is to remain here until after the departure of the mail steamer to-day; then proceed to Sydney for an overhaul, after which, in accordance with Admiralty orders, she returns to England. H.M.S.S. Blanche has reached Brisbane from Torres Straits, and reports having been unable to discover Mrs Gascoigne, wife of Captain Gascoigne, of the Sperwer, who, with his crew, were murdered by the natives some months ago. The natives say that she and her boy died three months since. Before completing the search, the Blanche got on a coral reef during a fog, and bad to throw a quantity of shot, coal, and other stores overboard before floating off. She proceeds to Sydney, to go into the dock for an overhaul—Argus, May 21. A case of some importance to the owners and officers of merchant ships was heard in the Sandridge Police Court yesterday. William Carlton and Bernard Bennett the first and second officers of the British ship Glenshee, were charged by James Patterson, the owner of the said ship, with committing a wilful neglect of duty on the night of the 1 2th May, by leaving the vessel contrary to the express orders of the captain. Prom the evidence taken in the case, it appears that the captain left the vessel about 7 o’clock on the evening of the day named, she being then safely moored alongside the ship Bolton Abbey, for the purpose of transhipping a cargo of coals. On leaving, he gave strict orders to the first officer not to leave the ship, or allow any of the hands to do so, as the night was squally and there was a heavy sea on. Soon after the captain left the chief officer went ashore, leaving the second officer and three men on board. About 12 o’clock, the second officer and the man keeping watch went on shore to bring the first officer on board, leaving only two man on board, both in bed asleep. During the absence of the second officer the ship broke from her moorings and came into collision with the ship Anne Jane, carrying away her main and mizen topmasts, and doing great damage to her rigging. The bulwarks and deck-houses were also much injured by the falling spars. The Anne Jane had her bowsprit broken off, and her head-gear greatly damaged. It was estimated that the coat of the repairs would amount to over £SOO. In his defence, the chief officer said that the captain had given him liberty to go on shore any time he liked so long as he left the second officer in charge. He denied that he had been ordered to remain on board the night of the collision. The second officer said he had gone on shore to bring Carlton on board at his request. It was a fine night when he left the ship, but a squall sprang up during

his absence. It was proved that had anyone been at hand to let go the anchor, the collision would not hare taken place. The magistrates thought it was a case of gross neglect of duty, and sentenced the first officer to three months’ imprisonment' and the second officer to two months’ imprisonment, both with hard labour.— Argus, May 21.
