Eclipse,*! guns, in command of Capt. } romantic. arrived Irom Sydney yesterday. at 110011, alter a good passage of niue davs'under canvas. She sailed on the 16th inst'. and 011 the night of the ISth experienced a very hcavv gale from the S. W.. accompanied by a fierce sen. ' The barometer was as low as 29.15, and at one time a hcavv sea broke over the port quarter, carrying away the quar-ter-gallery, signal lockers, and stern port, as also sinasl.il g the skylight of the enptaiii s cabin, and completely deluging the ship. _ Made Cape Maria ■\ an Piemen 011 Tuesday last, and sincc had IMit weather. °

About 10 miles north of the Poor Knights, a mnss of timber, wreck, and spars, was passed, one of (he pieces much resembling a ship's main-top. The Eclipse lias brought the following passengers: —Surgeon "Wards regiment; iStail" burgeon MeDermott; Staff Assistant Surgeon Popnlencll ; and Stall' Assistant Surgeon Carson. The s. s. Beautiful Star, Capt. Morwitk, arrived in Imrbcur from Napier, via the Tamaki, vesterdav morning. She sailed on Sunday Inst, and had strong Easterly winds, with much rain, and thick weather to the East Cape, and since then line. The Star of the South landed <545 slitep in flie Tamaki nitbout any loss. J lie gunboat Sandfly, Capt. 11. Marks, returned frcm the 3\awan on Wcihicsday night last, bringing buck Ilis Eiccllcney the Governor and StalF. r l he s< liocner General Cameron arrived in harbour fn m Pusscll. via tlie 1 amuki, yesterday afternoon, bringing up C tons lauri gum, 16 head cattle, 3,000 feet timber, and 13 passengers. She leaves again for the Bay this afternoon. The s. s. Susannah Guthbert, Capt-ain Dixon, cleared yesterday for Port M'ailato, with a cargo of commissariat stores, and snils this moniing. Tlie schooner Heron, Captain Laing, sailed yesterday for Newcastle, Is". S. "\Y. Tlie schooner Kiwi, Captain Bivers, arrived from llokiangu with a cargo of kauri gum yesterday morning. She left thereon Alo^uinylast,and sighted H. 31. s. s. Eclipse oil' the Is'orth Cape. Captain Bryers reports that the brig Caroline was aVcut to sail from Hokiungn for Sydney, with a cargo of timber and kauri grim, at the time of his departure.

'J lie .-hip Flying Foam, for C'allao, and schooner Killumcnt, for Newcastle, both entered outwards at tho Custom House vesterdavThc cutter Petrel has been successfully floated ofT the tands at Mangawai, with no oilier damage than the lo.=s of her main boom. The brig Beliance, fiom this pert bound to Hobari Town, put into Bussell on Friday, and returned her voyage again on Sunday last. Attcrseme foui teen or fifteen days' haid labour and iit the expense of fiom £95 to £100, the schooner Swallow has been successfully floated at Mahurangi harbour and since brought up to Auckland for repairs, having arrived here on WVdnesdav night last. Ithas been ascertained that she has received great injuries, her bilge being thrust through, and several huge holes knocked in her floor. We hear that some claim for compensation is about to be sent in by her owners to the Insurance Company, as she was insured only for total loss. The barque signalled yesterday afternoon proved to be the Bella Mary, Capt. Copping, from Matakana, where she has shipped a full cargo of timber for Hobart Town. She has called in for pat-sen gem, preparatory to taking her final departure for that port. H.M. s.s. Caraeoa, Commodore Wiseman, was to leave Sydney for Melbourne a few hours after tho Eclipse. From Melbourne she will return to this port, as, we hear, all the ships of war are to assemble on this station next month. At the time of the Eclipse's departure H.M. s.s. Ksk was in Cockatoo Dock, Sydney, undergoing repairs, and would bo there in all probability a month. The brig Kale sailed from Newcastle for this port on the 13th instant with 356 tons coal. • The ship Silver Eagle, Capt. Longman, arrived at Shanghai from this port on the 6th May. China Charters.—The Cc-dais, from Melbourne, at £4 per ton; Tientsin, Foo Chow to Melbourne, at £1 ss. per ton ; Seaton, Foo Chow to Auckland, at -CI per ton. l"he A. S. N. Company's steamer City of Adelaide left the Sydney Wharf at 5 p.m., on Tuesday, tho 9th instant, during a hard gale from tho S.E. She bael an officer on board from the New South Wales Post Office, holding authority to remove the Melbourne mail from the Barwon (s.), then lying in Watson's Bay wind-bound, the Barwon having left Sydney the day previously. Having received the mail—both that irorn Newcastle and that from Sydney,—the City of Adelaide put to sea at a eiuarter-past 6 p.m., in the face of a heavy S.E. gale and tremendous sea, and has made a most succeseful run round, having reached Hobson's Bay at half-past 5 p.m. yesterday. Shu experienced light southerly winds in tho Straits, and light adverse winds during the latter part of tho passage. The company's steamer City of Melbourne w as met sixty miles south-west of Cape Howe, at H p.m., on the 10th instant. Captain Trouton speaks in the highest terms of the good character of his line ship as a sea-boat. He states that the sea broke right across Sydney Heads as he went out. At first steam wis eased to half-speed, fearing some damage from the heavy sea she was meeting, br.t it was found unnecessary, as she shipped no water. Full steam was then put on, and maintained throughout the night. , le City of Adelaide brings a full cargo, and has a fc'rge passenger-list.—Argus, August 12. -the following notification, under the hand of tho ommissioner of Customs, appears in the Gazelle of his evening :—" With reference to the ' notice ' in the Government Gazelle, dated 20 March, 1859, the tollowing conditions under which 1 permits ' will be S-med to seamen to engage with masters of vessels r'-i! i absence of certificates of discharge aro publ! ni ° r £ cnera l information, vi:! : —l.
