The Ravenscbakj.— The ship Ravenscraig, of I,OOC tons burden, left Gravesend on the 29th October 1861, and had proceeded as far as Beachy Head when she was obliged to put back to the Downs where she was in company with about 200 sail. Aftei three several attempts, she at last succeeded in reaching Plymouth, where she took in water, pi'ovisions &c. ; she 6ailed thence on the Ist December passed Madeira on the 15th December, Cape de Verr Island on the 25th, and crossed the Line on the stl January, 1862 ; passed between the Island of Tiinidad and Martin de Vass rocks on the 13th, and Tristan da Cunha on the 22nd, passed the longitude of the Cape on the 31st, St. Paul and Amsterdam oi the 19th February, Cape Leuwin on the 21st, Vai Dieman's Land on the 9th March, longitude of tin south end of New Zealand on the 14th, Cape Fare well on the 21st instant, and arrived at Nelsor on the 23rd instant. Altogether we had fim enjoyable weather, with generally light winds The least distance run in any day was 23 miles, the greatest 265 miles. We had one birth, a fim boy, born off Beachy, during a gale of wind The health of the passengers, in general, wa very good, the steerage passengers very cheerful am contented but, as usual, with one or two exceptions It will thus be seen ihat we made the rim from Ply mouth to New Zealand in 104 days. — Communicated

Wreck of the Ship Indian Ocean. — Intelli gence reached Liverpool on January 24, to the effec that the Bhip Indian Ocean, belonging to the Blacl Ball line of Australian clippers, had been wrecked a Annestown, on the Wexford coast, and that all oi board had perished. Fortunately, so fay as the los: of life is concerned, the report turns out to be un founded. Captain Hutchison, the commander, witl his crew, arrived in Liverpool on the 25th. But although no lives have been sacrificed, the ship hai been lost, with her cargo. The Indian Ocean, o 1,019 touß, sailed from Liverpool for Sydney on thi 20th of January, with a valuable cargo.

The question of the salvage claimed on the gol( saved from the Empress of the Sea, was made thi subject of a motion in the Vice- Admiralty Court re cently. It will be recollected that the total value o the gold amounts to some £80,000 or £90,000, anc that the claim made by Pilot Dean and the othe salvors is one-third of the gross value. An applica fcion was made yesterday that this gold, which hac been seized by the Marshal of the Court, should bi given up to the owners, the Oriental and New Soutl Wales Bank Corporations, on their giving securitj for any amount together with costs, which may be adjudged to be due to the salvors, in an action nov pending. The Court decreed that the gold Bhould b< given up on security being given for one-third of the value of the gold, which is the amount claimed a: salvage. — Mining Herald.
