In noting the arrival of the Great Britain on the present vojage, it affoids us a gieat amount of pleasure to Bt.ite that the good old ship is still commander) and officeied as on her previous trip. "We state this, as many minors had gained ground that Captain Gray had left her (to coil up his lopes ashore), but we are now in u position to st,ite that Capt. Gray is too much attached to his vessel to think of leaving her ; and it is problematical if he was out of hor, whether she could make the extiaoulinary quick runs that she has always effected under his supei vision. On the present occasion she left Liveipool with upwards of 500 pis&engers, at 3 p. in on the 9 th of July; crossed tho Equator on the 26th, in 19 deg. 20 min. W. ; passed tho meridian of the Cape of Good Hope on the 13th of August, in 38 deg. 52 mm. S , and nt 11.50 on the 3id mst., biought up mfaide of I'oit Phillip Heads, having expeiieuced light winds and fine weather throughout the passage. As usual on the ariival of tins fine ship, the Bay was quite alive with visitants, the boatmen leapiug a fair harvest from those who had friends on boaid, for tho day being fine, they went off and met the ship a short distance down tho Bay. The following are her daily runs:- 195, 211, 213,"229, 213, 204, 220, 202, 190, 192, 184 195, 191, YI\ 156, 157, 181, 198, 207, 230, 219, 240, 219 ?01 195 213, 220, 190, 250, 193, 193, 325, 260, ?(\2 262,' 237, 260, 279, 2">0, 2S3, 262, 244, 263, 262, 295' 270! 310, 332, 291, 255, 247, 270, 220, 299, 299, and 250, making in all 13.041. So thus it will be seen tliat her best da>'s run was 332, and her woist 156, and tho average rather over 232 per diem, or a .decimal under 10 knots an hour. — Age.

At the latter poit, she was slipped for ropans previous to loading her pitsei.it cargo, with which she sailed on the 5th inst , and experienced fresh noitherly \unds in the inn acioss, drivjng her to 50 S., when a change to tho S.W. allowed her to lay to her couise, and anived off the Heads on Sunday evening, having made an excellent passage, which speaks well for her bailing capabilities. ,Eaily jesterday inoiumg, being a head wind and no chance of leaching her anchorage, the pilot boat went alongside and took in the tiout ova, Mr Ohftord in chaige, and pioceeded to Poit Chalmeis. After a shoit stay there the ciew continued their course to Dunpdin, ai riving alongside the Polichet Bay jetty ehortl}-- after 2 p.m. Mr Clifford also brought from IIobaibTown seveial English tench, two lots of game fowls, water snails, and plants. The ova weio put on board four days befoie tile baique started, and being in different .stages, they aie expected to be hatched in from 15 to 60 days. Captain Itobinson, of the Free Tiader, kindly handed us Hobart Town papers to the 5th 111st.
