Auckland, Nov. 10th, 1 SGt. Gentlemen, —On behalf of myself and the oflicers of this steamer, I thank you kinclv for the testimonial which you have presented to us, and I can assure you it is a source o! great pleasure to me to find that we have given satisfaction in the execution of our duty. Wishing you every happiness and prosperity, 1 remain, yours truly, JAMKS ifaclky, Mas or. To tho Gentlemen signing the teijimonial. Trial Tun* or the Steam Sciiew Yacht Sip. John Blucoyne.—Yesterday afternoon the above smart vessel, lately purchased in Melbourne by Mr. C'u'hbert, of Miller's Point,' went on a trial trip down the harbour. The Sir John Burgoyne is a vessel of about 110 tons register, and was at one time intended for the Madagascar and Mauritius trade. She was built by Messrs. Pritchard and Co., of North Fleet, 1 builders of tho Royal Mail boats. She is considered by connoisseurs in naval architecture to be a splendid model, and is substantially built of wood. Though propelled by steam, she is full rigged as a clipper ' schooner. Since her arrival in this port, the Sir .John Burgoyne has been overhauled by Mr. Culhbert, and a new boiler has been placed on l.oard, made bv , Messrs. P. N. Russell and Co. Her engines are l(i- ---' horse power, of two cylinders, horizontal action, and are very compact. Her cabin accommodation is very 1 complete for her size ; there are six sleeping berths iii the saloon, a ladies' cabin with two berths and all conveniences, and a captain's c.Hiin oa the opposite side. The fittings are painted in imitation of bird'seye maple, and present a veiy elegant appearance. Under steam she averaged a speed of about e ght knots with a medium ptesture of steam: but when her machinery is in working order it is not improbiiblo this will be increased to ten knots. Tho sailiip' capabilities of this vessel are of the tirst order, and altogether she is admirably adapted for outside pilot service. Several gentlemen connected with the mercantile marine of Port Jackson were on boatd and expres.-ed tho most favourable opinions of the vessel. 1 During the trip down the harbour, refreshments were ' served in the saloon, and the healths of Mr. Culhbert and Messrs. P. N. Russell and Co. were proposed and duly responded to. —Sydney JlcraUl, November 4. Tho Marquis of Argylo is commanded bv Captain Monro, who \vas here last season in the John Knox. From his report the Marquis left the Downs on July 15, crossed tho line on the l'itli August, passed the meridian of Greenwich on September 5, the meridian of the Cape on September 13, the Isle of Amsterdam ' (the first land si en after leaving England) 7ih October, and Cape Leuwin on the 17ih. Durin" the first part of the passage moderate and pleasant weather •iredominated, but the remainder has been marked by contrary winds and heavy gales till passing Cape ijeuwin, when it became calm, and was followed bv light airs, which prevented very rapid pi ogress. In the middle st-iu'e of the voyage, from lat7 .'j-ld S. lon 22£ dog W., to lat. 39deg. >S. and lon. 23deg. n! a d.stance of about 2,100 miles, occupied twenty ■tiiree days, or an average of ninety-one miles p.'r di.-m, and during tho whole time it blew violently from S.S.W. S.E. Indeed, so much so that the forcyard was carried away in the slings. With regaid to the I urometer, the caption writes as follows : —ln these gaies the barometer re 'freed its wonted manner. It did tall very li w -not lower than 2<J 70. When lowest and stationary, t >e weather was wodera'c and fine continuing so for two or three days—thj u.Mial interval between the storm. When the mercury commenced rising, the wind increased; and when the former marked 29'90, the topgallantsails were stowed at 35*15 tho topsails were doubled reefed ; at 30*25, close-reefed the topsails, and reefed the courses; at 30*30, ship reaching under storm staytails; at 30*40, _ ehip laying-to with heavy "ale blowing; at 3050, the gusts very severe, like those of a cylone, continued unabated till tho mercury

1 reached its maximum 30.(35, wbrn in-proportion as J ' 0 (1 10 w ind moderated." Captain 1 ; fonro fioforp observed in severe Rales, esnoeiallv hurr.cni'ieK. ulass to vise two or three tenths rind ( t upwards before there was any sensible abatement of ' the wind's force; but it was always regarded as a 1 certain indication of the cessation of a, tempest *, but t in the scries of gales alluded to it was the reverse, ns 1 the falling mercury was the ind"x of abatement. The ; barometer's action was uniformly upwards during , the continuation and increase of tho sralo, cruise- ] nueiitly the warning (riven of worse weather was by , the ris", and not tho fall of the glass; and it will be ■ noticed that when it stood at a range which usually bears the assurance of fine pleasant, weather, it was ncccssrtrv to brave the vessel to under storm canvas. The Captain's reason for drawing attention to tho matter was in order to interest persons who arc conversant with meteorology, and who would perhaps throw some Hl'M on the erratic and uneommom movement, of the mercury in the barometer. The ' Marouis/ on arrival, was anchored at the liehtship, where she will remain till there is sufficient, water for her to cross the bars—South Aiistrnimn It'ei/is/cr, Oct, 28.
