The .-hi]. T. K. M:!l:du-\ with cattle fro.;. Twofold -Bay, was on shore ir. iiluif harbour when tiie Phcobe left. The latter v. sse! made three several attempts to tow lir-r off. in the ■■-:■ -ml ...f which she was successful, but a vi. lent sqr.al! blew her on p.jpiin. Her removal, licwever. was a siu-ce->-, inasmuch as she exchanged a sandy for a rorkv b-.tMin. It was expected that when liVhMied the sliip would bo got afloat. Her cattle wc-u' to be landed on the Xurthern side of the harbour.

It is due to the Captains and Pursers of the Intercolonial Compam's steamboats to make special acknowledgment of the completeness of the files of newspapers which they supplv, and of the regularity and punctuality with whidi they are delivered to our shipping reporter on the arrival of each vessel. Bv the attention of .Mr. "White, of the l'httbe, especially, and of Mr. Baton, of the Lord Ashley, the eariy transmission of late news is greatly expedited, and tlie same punctuality is observed in the delivery of exchange files to northern contemporaries.—O/flw Times, Dec. •!,

Tin- present is the second trip to Otngo which the s.s. Phu.-he has performed since she left the building yard at Sjdncy. and she continues to improve in the estimation both of her officers and those "who are passengers by her. The extensive alterations and improvements which were made upon her were executed according to the plans and under the personal supcrvision of Captain Vine If all, and he has succeeded admirably in titling out the boat in a manner which has converted her into probably the most commodious and comfortable passenger steamer on the coast. She still continues under the command of Capt. Kennedy. In crossing the Mamtkau bar by the main channel ■the Phube bumped heavily on a ban];, fortunately doing no other dauiase than that of terrifying some of the people on board. The correct course, according t> the most recent survey—that of the present year by Commander Mayno, of 11.M.5.5. Eclipse'—was being steered and the ]e;id kept constantly going, when s iddenly, after repeated soundings of 5 nnd-a-half fathoms, she struck, and a cast of (he lead taken immediately afterwards gave but 3 fathoms, which in a moment or two increased to 7 fathoms, showing that the bank formed a nsrrow ridge, which Captain Kennedy feels assured stretched right-across to the northern bank, leaving absolutely no channel. This fact is worth, noting if calamities like that of the Orpheus are to be averted, and wc recommend increased caution to masters of vessels taking the bar. "We learn that after much delay, the South Channel is now being buoyed ; and we are -inclined to think that surveys of the Main Channel cannot be taken 100 Jrcqnently. Strong wcs'uriy gales were blowing during the six days the Pha-be lay in the Mannkau, which prcbubly account for the"sand-bunk forming across the channel.— lbid.
