Unfortunately circumstances have prevented our aquatic community from witnessing her capabilities when properly tested, she having

only started in ono race, whan she wis defeated by the Xarifd,, but when it is bctrno in miud that alio had to givo 124 lmnutra i" h race of twont3 T -(ivo miles to a vessel of the Xurif.t's known powers, and with only a cap full of wind, and then, only losing the match by four mimitca thirty-five secohds, all true yachtsmen will say that sho loitves the Colony without having lost an iota of her reputation. She returns to England viu tho Cape of Good Hope, under the command of Captein Gentle, who ciimo out in hnr an male, and we trust that bin homeward route will ho attencli'd with the same happy rosultsi that marked his outward and MiouM she once more anchor in Portsmouth harbour he will have performed a feat unp irallcled in aquatics, vix., taking a CO ton eutlor yacht to tho antip»des unci K'.ck.— SyrLwr/ Morniny Herald, ,1 an. 17.

Conqueror arrived in harbour on Saturday, tho l<:th instant, from Yokohama, which sho left on the 2 J-tli ultimo. Sho had light winds —south and south-easterly—and perfectly .smooth water with a very hot anil oppressive atmosphere, till tho '2u(l September, when u light south-easterly air settled into stw.dy easterly wind, and aradually freshened into a IS.ft. gale at noon on the 3rd, when tho ship was in latitude 21-.38 N., longitude 125'20 E., with a rapidly falling barometer, unci every sign of her being in the immediate t.-ack of the centre of ti very heavy typhoon. The ship's h ad was at once put to tho southward, in conformity with typhoon luetics, and sho was scudded un er bar.' pol"s, hid in a fewhours the tremendous P train upon tho rudder rendered it necessary to li"-!;o, and ih j centre pa-s-d over her with inctvdi'.ile violence-—the barometer sinking to with a convex surface. At times tho noble ship, with but little .-:m on, heelod over 4A den\ It is sVrani;e that no ac id nit ocl-u re Ito n.ny one of th-> 850 men on board, all of whom worked most strenuously and eheerf-i'ly at tho pumps, .to. It was with dinieuitv that ."'0 w.Jer in the hold coidd be kept under, by t'. i combined efforts of the pumps and the engines, so vait was the quantity shipped notwithstanding all the precautions ta-en. Tlie decks had been scuttled at tho first indications of a typhoon. At ouo time serious apprehensions were entertained of her safety, to which it was thought tho loss of tlie masts, momentarily expected, would contribute. One strong b >at at the quarter was literally blown to r.itees, and another washed away. The main-fopsaii-var. 1, the parallof the main and inizen topsail-yard «vre carried away although no s ill was set; ihe former with furled S'lil was eventually cut it way and jot rid of with ditliculty, and the latter was got inho ird during n lull. There was little abatement of the force of the wind till the 5,h ins'ant. The ship, which i» said to be an admirable sea-boat, :<_a I aopeav- t'j have been mostskilfully and co '11 y managed, ha : not sustained any injuries beyond ;t straining of (lie upper work. A weak ship, such as some of the old worn out line—of btttle ships, which to plough tho deep during the old wars, would certainly hare foundered, like tho Centaur, three d.-cker, ;vd others wliieh went down in West India ImrrKsuuM.—Ueerlaul China Trade Report, September 27 THE STAR OF T!1:j TSVRSINO. "\Ye extract the following from the Grey Rircr Argus, of the 13th instant, resf.rcting this steamer, which is in the c vmn.ind of Captiin Turner, of the firm of Harris and Turner, of this city :—One of the most striking triumphs of unite.i skill and eouru.ge over great natural dillieulti.-s, was accomplished yosterday, in the successful retreat of the steamer thatof the If-cuing f;o:n a position of imminent danger, which toreaiened tlie 1 ss of both ship and lives, l'lio Star of the hveninir, under the command of Captain Turner, arrived oil' this port on Monday morning, but in consequence of tho ba ! slate of tho bar, she was signalled on to Ifokiliki, at which place sho landed some of her pussenge s and cargo, and proceedod again fo r the Givv the same dav, arriving in the roadstead in the evening. At about a quarter to nine o'clock yesterday morning she weighed anchor, and prepared for faking the bar, tho weather fine and calm, but a heavy sea from the S. W. breaking on the bar. >he gdlantlv entered tho breakers, and seemed in a fair way to get safely ovor, but a sea struck her, and laid her bi'oadsiJo on to the rollers, which imnell d her rapidly towards tho north .«pit. on which s-h'j touched with h"r stern ; u.nd she sewed round, 10-in<g .--re raee wav, ar.d appeared inevitably d-xmv.-d to eo ash-.ru on the beach to t.jfl lioit.i\va:d. At this critical period Captain Co'.son, with a v luntcer crew, put off in a hoat, and with much dilliouity roaclieil her side and too'* a line on shore, the intention being to fix i; on shore, and return with it. to the vessel, and a'teriv rds to sew her head round up stream. However, when the boat started again the rope tro» entangled on a snag, and it was found iinpos ible to reach the steamer in tinio. The boat was caught by a sea and thrown up hitjh and dry on the bi-ach, and no access to the steamer was then letc. By this time she hud altered her position considerably f..r tho worse, having got into tho channel, and was being rapidly drifted to tho northward. ihe captain, with consummate coolness and skill, put full steam on astern, with the viewof backing oat to sea and for some time it was a duel hetwoan tho ship and sea. At times the steamer approached so close to the shore that her salvation appeared impossible ; hut sho bravely struggled on, and although the waves broke continually over her, she managed to make an offing, to the thankfulness of all who v.-ilnessed her critical position. JKvorvono admits that the vessel was only saved by the skilful seamanship of her commander, and the cool and intrepid manner in which ho handled her. She now lies at anchor in the roads, and will possibly enter at the next favorable tide.
