ARRIVAL OF THE S.S. SALAMANDER FROM NEWCASTLE. The s.s. Salamander, G'apt. Clarke, arrived in harIjouv from Kewcastle early yesterday morning, *fter u splendid pas-sage of G Jays 20 hours. She Failed on the afternoon of the 6th instant, and had fino weather to tho Three Kings, which were sighted at noon on Tuesday last, and lias since had fine light ■winds. The distance from Newcastle to tho Three Kings was made under sail alone, and when the wir-l fell light there, tho 2>ropeller was lowered, and the remaining part of tho passage was performed under steam. Tiie brig Dart, irom this port, was spoken oft" Cape Brett on Tuesday night last. She brings a cargo of 297 head of cattle and 40 pigs, all in excellent condition, consigned to Messrs. A. L. i hornpson and Co. Only four head were lost upon tho passage, and they were compelled to he killed shortly alter leaving, in consequence of injuries received during shipment. The Salamander waa formerly the Kate Hooper, and during her stay in Melbourne was burnt down aB far as tho lower deck beams, and was then purchased and rebuilt by the Messrs. Bright Brothers, and the Hon. Gu.pt. o. W. Cole. She is a full rigged ship, of 776 tons, wilh a ilush deck fore and aft, and ia fitted with an auxiliary engine of 60 liorse powor, working upi tol2o. Iho engines are on tho high pressure principle, and haß Griffith's patent screw, which can be raised or lowered in the space of five minutes, and will steam in calm weather 65- knots per hour, with a consumption of 6 ton of coal* per 24 hours, and can condense with waste steam 1-100 gallons of water daily. The Salamander lias been chartered by Messrs. A. L. Thompson & Co., for four trips to this port, and prior to her departure from Melbourne, they at a considerable cost, fitted her up in the most creditable manner for the conveyance of cattle, a trade for which she is most admirably adapted, as this her present trip proves. She is fitted with patent tubular and deck ventilators, thus rendering theatmosphorein the lower hold alinort as sweet as that 011 deck, and therefore preventing the cattle below from dying, as they do on many oeeasious in other ships from suffocation. The Inspector of cattle upon his visit to the ship yesterday, expressed himself very much pleased, not only with the fine and healthy condition of the cattle, but also of tho excellent capabilities and accomodation of the ehip as a cattle trader. The Salamander is commanded by G'apt-. James Clarke, ot "Lightning celebrity," ho having made some of tho fastest passages 011 record between Liverpool and Melbourne, when in command for some years, of the clippers Marco Polo and Lightning, and was a gentleman highly esteemed during the lengthened period he held the post of ship's husband to Messrs. Bright Brothers, of the famous " BlackßaU" line. Messrs. A. L. Thomdsou and Co., will again despatch the Salamander on Saturday evening next, carrying Sydney mads. e have to thank Capt. Clarke for files of Sydney papers to the sth inst., full extracts from which will be found elsewhere.

ARRIVAL OF THE RELIANCE J?KOM HOBART TOWN. Tho brig Roliance, Cn.pt. Couch, arrived from Hobart Town yesterday afternoon, after a very tedious passage of 22 days. She sailed on tho 21st ultimo, and had light N.K. "winds nil the vny across, sighting tho Tlirco Kings on Monday morning last. The 3?elianeo brings a full cargo of lumber, itc. The ship Day Dawn arrived at Sydney on the 29th ultimo, and announced as positively to sail for Houg Kong on the 24th inst. The barque Alice Cameron was positively to leave Sydney for this port, on tho 6th instant, and tho barque Novoltv was to follow her with despatch. The barquo Constance was announced as for sale, freight, or charter. The 8.8. Claud Hamilton arrived at Melbourne from Nelson on the 29th ultimo, and was to sail again for this port about the Bth instant. The barque JJella Mary arrived at Hobart Town from this port on tho 18th ultimo, and whs announced as on the berth again for Auckland with despatch.

The schooner Sea Breeze ciime up from thcTiimaki yesterday morning. She leaves again for Russell today. The s.s. Queen, Captain Ct-llem, sailed for Nnpicr nnd the South yesterday at noon. The latest intelligence we have received of tlu> (longs of H.M. steamships Mimmlft and Falcon is that they were cruising oll'Onmli Buy on "VVodnesdnv evening last. The cutter Will Watch entered outwards again for the South Sen Tglunds yesterday, ami sails soon. Tho N.Z.S.N. Co's.,9teanier"\Vor.ga Wonga, Capf. Thompson, returned from her first trip to the Northern ports last ovenintr. Sin- left, here at 10 a.m. on Monday last, arriving at Matukmm nt 2 p.m. ; left ngain at .'! o.in. arriving :it Wniigitrei heads at il p.m.; left again at 9.15 a.m. iioxt day, arriving at Hussell at 0.40 ;i.m.

The Annie Laurie, for Guam, sails this morning. Till-: SAMSOX SiTAMKit. — A tclejrrnm wns received from Newcastle, yesterday, stating that a screw fteanier, with a paddle bout in tow, whs in sight off JVobbys. ]$y the arrival of the Conanbnra (s.), we learn" that tho slvamers wnv the Balclutha and Sampson, the hitter ]iuvin<r been injured during the late gale. Cnptain Adams, having bnim'.ed both vessels, has kindly furnished us with tho following report-:—The Sampson {»■) left tho Manning bar at 6.30, on Friday evening, with a light westerly wind and cloudy weather. At '.) p in. the engines broke down, and, after a stoppage of about two hours, repairs were ctl'ected, and the voyage, continued. Early on Saturday morning , she encountered a heavy southerly gale, the sea rising so fearfully tliat it was deemed advisable to lay-to under storm canvas. At 8 :v.m., while oil" Black Head, the vessel was struck by a heavy sijuall; and several sails wore blown away. She continued to weather the gale without further injury, until 1.30 p.m., alien she shipped » tremendous sea.whieh swept .the decks, tilled the forecastle, and fore cabin, and carried away her ruilcier-heail, engine room, skylight, and deck-house, and severely injured two seamen, both of whom had their logs broken, ami were otherwise, injured. After the wreck, was cleared away it was found that the vessel was making so much water that a portion of the cargo had to be thrown overboard ; all the pumps were set to work, and the crew engaged bailing to keep her atloat. Without sails or rudder, the vessel tossed about at the mercy of the waves, until eight o'clock last evening, when oil' Fort Macquaric, the steamer Balclulha, from Rockliampton, liove in sight, and on coming alongside, Captain Brown was i informed of tlie state of affairs, and at once decided to tow her on to Newcastle ; this ho safely accomplished, and both vessels reached that port about 3 p.m. yesterday.— Xyilnry Jhrultl, October 5.

Peiui.ois. Position of the Si-iiuonku Atlantic , IN THK late Gaj. K.—The following is an extract of a letter received from Cii]>tuiu liose, ami tinted Port Stephens, Sunday night:—" Me urrivod here on Saturday afternoon, having left Newcastle (ho previous morning with a nioderuto southerly wind and light showers of ruin, which continued up to 7 p.m., when the wind freshened ; wiu then oil' Bird , Isliuid ; tucked und stood of!', the .lames, ami Ger- [ trude in compnuy to leeward. -At;) p.m., the wind suddenly shitted to the S.K., and blew with great fury ; lost the jib before it eould be furled. Kept, reaching to the N.Ti. under double reefed mainsail inner jib, and fort- .-tiiy.-ail ; at ]2, the bee of tho inner jib stay gave way, rendering the stav and staysail useless ; .it - a.m., I lie forestuysail split, wind hauling more to the southward ; lay to under the. mainsail only ; at i! a.m., shipped a heavy sea, which shifted Ihe cargo over to port, washing binnacle, tow rope, lines, bi.-ef casks, ■water cai-ks, and nearly everything moveablo about the deck. Daylight; oil' lied Head ; ran for Now - castle, got close to tho Break, the heavy state of tho bar rendering it unsafe to fetch in clear of the. breakwater, with the canvas being carried, viz., singlereefed topsail, :ind reefed trysail. >Shc would "not stand the mainsail, having no' head sail, Bore away for Port Stephens, with little hope of over reaching there. The schooner being uninan.igoablu for want of her head sail, in crossing tho bight if, was frequently thought i-ho was going down, us she several times lay down with her fair leaders in the water, and had to take the trysail oil' her many times. Fortunately the vessel kept tight, although the ■water going down the cabin and other places kept the pumps constantly going. The topgallant-sail blew adrift and went to pieces, at the sain.; thin; she. pitched the jibboom away, and getting under the torcfoot could not recover it; had to cut it and alt the gear adrift : at this time was one milu oil' 1M0111:1 Point, and cleared l'ort Stephens hull' a mil,., then had great difficulty in getting the ship wore round. However, by getting ihe inner jib set on the fore-stav it wa.s accomplished, and fetched into tolerable smooth water ; 1e.5 go both anchors but could nut fetch up to .N'elson's Hay ; in coming in passed :l barque riding at her anchors, with nothing landing but her niizeumast; she was brought up about hall 11 mile outside Yaceabee Head; there were some people on board of her when we passed. This lnornhi',' there was nothing- to be seen c>l her. We had six inches 01 water in the cabin and the paint lockers lull, although every precaution was taken to keep it out; it nui.-.l have come in at tho stern under the rail. Ueen busily employed all day in securing the foremast, which must have gone had we. been out twelve hours longer. Tho gale still continues, wind S."\V., with rain and no appearance of a change." The safety of the Atlantic can alone be attributed to th<: ; ,bJe conduct of her commander and the sound manivr in which she id sent to sea, for had her gear been unseaworthv her fate must inevitably have been the tame, as many others, lost for tho want of being properly supplied. — Ibid.

SUPPOSE WRI'CK OK THE TYBKK. By.the Urara (s.), which arrived at three o'clock this morning, we learn that tho Lighthouso-keeper at Port Stephens reports a banjue, supposed to be tlio lybee, which sailed from on l'Vidav Hie 30th ultimo, for Melbourne, with -no tons coaf,'running in under bare poles on Saturday nighr, an'd anchoring in mid-stream, between IXarruw<'iit and North Head. She cut away her malsts and°iode'out the gale safely till early on Sunday morning, when she broke adrift from her anchorage, and is (supposed to have drifted between the North J lead and Cabha-e----tree Island, mid gone on .shore either .111 Lon" Island or tho bunch to the northward. Lowered a boat and landed on the north beach ; could .see nothing of the vessel except spars, supposed to be her , *, washed on shore, it is not known whether the crew 11 re saved or not. The Urara mude an ineficcUml search lor thum.—Si/i/my Jlr.raM, Octobci- 4. TOTAL "WIIKCK OF THI-J NKW 3IOON (s.) The foUowi.vg telegram from Jlr. /lien, Harbourmaater at Newcastle, was n.ccivcd in town slmilly after mid-d iiy yesterday, and it Juts been handed tu ~'s by Capain IJixham :— •" Tlic steamer Saw lloon, f rom Mneleav Jtiver to Sydney, was totally wrecked near Hannah Ji-.y, ;i t 6 p.m. on baturday. J£i c j lar d JXiy, one of the civw has jiwt nmvcl from here (NewcaM lo). lie can K ivo no account of tho crew or passengers after sejmg some on tho wreck and others in the? water " it is to be lioped, from the position of the wreck and the short dwtancu from Port .Stephen's lighthouse (about hve nules from where tho disaster occurred) that the missing hands have managed to reach the shore in safety The X. !W Moon (*.) wa« tho property of Jir. Marshall, and commanded by Mr kyd -m

experienced man on this coast. It ia also expoctod that two of tho owner's sons wore, on board. She waa insured a few days since at tho United Marino Office for £2000, half of -which sum has been roinsured. We understand that a limited power has been invested in Mr. Allen, to charter u steamer on all necessary occasions, and it is more than probable tho Government stoamer Dooribang will be sent to ascertain the fate- of thoso absent. — Ibid. WRFCK OF THE BARQUE BRT3ADALBAKE. Tho following isu copy of a letter received from tho pilot station at IJcllambi, and dated tho Ist instant!— "Tho liroftilalbaiio, barque, Siuibyo, master, went nshoro this morning about miles from Bcllninhi. She drifted that distance, in two hours; both anchors were down, with If> fathoms on tho starboard, and between 00 and 100 fathoms on the port. Tho sea rose very sudden)} , yesterday evening, and the wind sharply shifted from H. to B.K. From the tenor of tho wreck certificate, it would appear that the vessel lay in the stream awaiting to load ; she was driven high and drv ashore ; her anchors weighed collectively i!i) cwt., and \vttro. attached to powerful chains. She is insured in tho Pacific Marino Oflico for the sum of JStSOO.— J hid. PAMACrK TO THE STEAMER PATERSON. The steamer Patcrson loft Newcastle at 6 p.m. bn Friday last, with 12 cabin and 8 .steerage passengers, and a largo cargo of produce and live stock. At 8.20 j>.in. was oil' Bird Island, up to which point &ho had light southerly winds ; the breeze freshened and tho l sea colli m<inveil to get up ; at 10 p.m., off Terrign.l, heavy squalls of wind and rain ; 10.30 p.m., shipped a heavy sea, filling tho deck and partly filling tho forecastle ami foroeubin. Tlie engines were then stopped, unshipped tho gangway to allow a largo quantity of water to run oil'and let the steamer recover herself: at this lime the weather was tearful ; the steamer was kept under easy steam all night, expecting to make Broken Bay at daylight; I a.m., Saturday, washed away the foreeabin companion ; a tarpaulin was secured over the hatch, in accomplishing which, Hugh Cameron, one of the crew, was washed down tlie cabin, and received serious injury ; he is now in Newcastle Hospital. The steerage passengers wore removed alt where their comfort, was attended u>. At 1.2(1 storm increasing and sea making complete breaches over her, she was put before, tho wind anil was kept so with great difficulty. At 2 a.m. lust tlie .starboard quarter bout from the davits. i> a.m. sighted Red Head. I! a.m. rounded Nobby's, a tremendous sea running in at the month of the harbour, ami at U.IO a.m. was alongside the wharf. A curt , ful examination was instituted. The water sltippcd in the i'oiecahin and was confined to these places bv a water-tight compartment, ami it i.s saiil tlie (!iirgo has not suiTurod any material damage. ll is a most proviileneial thing that this I steamer, in bur crippled state, ever arrived ill safety.
