The first takes the form of a letter from tlio Colonial Secretary, in the name of his Excellency Sir John Young, and, after expressing in suitable terms tho high sense entertainment by tho Government of tho service rendered by Captain Galarhe, and the tendency of such actions to cement the friendship of two great nations, states that, though aware that a naval officer of France desires no other revrajd consciousness of having done his duty, it is tho wish of tho Government to present tho Captain with a piece of plate, and the crew with seventy-fivo sovereigns, to bo distributed as hepleases. Thercply of Captain Galachois noble and dignified. Ho return* thanks in llio name of his officers and crew, and, in accepting the preferred testimonial, says tkat, in rescuing the Ethiopian, he acted in the first obedience of humanity, and expresses gratification that the consciousness of this is ackn iw-ledgedashisc-hiiifreward. England and France, he continues, have shown the world an example ofuniversal fraternity ; and ho concludes with a graceful expression of these sentiments for the information of Sir John Young and the members of tho Government of New South Wales. Tho next address is from Captain Faulkner, of the Ethiopian, and of course is expressive of grateful thanks for the service rendered at the samo time requesting acceptance of a handsome gold watch and chain, with a suitable inscription, for Captain Galache, and tho sum of fifty pounds for distribution amongst tho crew. The reply, accepting the prosonts, congratulates Captain Faulkner on the preservation of his coolness and fortitude under tho trying circumstances in which he was placed. The third address is from eight representees of tho Marine Insurance Companies, whose names are too well known in the commercial community here to requiro to be repeated. They request the captain's acceptance of a claret jug and salver, >nd it will ho seen thut the roqucßt is complied with and tho address suitably responded too. Tho fourth is singed by twenty-ono of the leading mercantile firms in Sydney, acknowledging the service rendered to tho Ethiopian " within a short distanco of this port, near to which sho had beon a helplpas wreck for somo days, without receiving other assistance. " Fourteen commanders of merchant Yo?sels, now in port, follow up this by a stronger expression. While expressing tlia,iks for tho aid rendered to the Ethiopian, they say: "It is with a feeling of shame that wo should bo indebted to you, sir, for that atd which ought to have been afforded byour own countrymen,"

Pharos got up steam at half-past 1 p.m. an Tuesday, and proceeded t3 the assistance of tho barque reported by telegram from QuoensclifT to bo ashore in tho West Channel. When passing Uellibrand's Point Lighthouse, at a furious gust, the starboard boat wis blown clean out of tho davit tackles, and landed on deck. G p.m. the Pharos arrived at tlie West I linnnel Lightship, and Captain Fullarton was informed by tho lightship-keeper that the bavquo lind driven over all tho mudbanks, and was in deop water. Whenl.o last saw hersho was drifting towards Meunt Martha, ovidontly without anchors. Xho Resolute camo down as tho Pharos left tho lightship, d having got the above information and tho courso to steer —namely, E. by S. —from Captain Fullarton, both steamers ran down on that bearing. At a qunrtor past G p.m. a bluo light and rocket wero observed, which" marked tho position of the barque, which proved to ho tho Kseio Black, riding with two small kedges, and drifting toward the Bhore, which was distant about two miles. Tho lifeboat, in charge of Mr. Brown, tido surveyor, QuouoelifT, with a full crow of Government boatmen, woro riding aßtern of tho barque. The master of tho Essie Black immediately mado arrangements for tholte.ioluto to tow tho ship up, and tho Pharos, aftor waiting to see th« barque safely started, took tho lifeboat in tow, and procoeded to QueenauliiT whero she anchored at 11 p.m. —Argus, April IS. The Pateuson*.—This steamer, which left tho whav i for Sydney, yestorday morning at 10 o'clock am., returned to port shortly after noon, Captaiu Biuld not liking to proceed further lhan he did, for fear of drowning the live stock on dock, of which there was a largo quantity. Tho wind blowing f.om tho south, tho vessel had of course to encounter a head wind, in addit'on to which there was a heavy sea running. After the steamer's return to port, Captain Budd communicaltd with Sydney by telegraph, and learning that thero was nothing to bo feared in that direction, ho sailed again at 3 o'clock in the aftornoon. The Paterson had got come four miles out when she turned to come back into port. Before proceeding to sea tho whole of the shr:p (a hundred in number] and about 30 coops of fowls woro landed and left behind —Newcastle Chronicle, April 20' Tho American schooner Victor, which, a few week: ago, received a thorough overhaul, and was caulkec and recoppered by Messrs. Holy and Harpur, roturned to port yesterday with loss of rudder anc leaky. After leaving Sydnoy she proceedod to New castle, and took in a cargo of coals for San Francisco from wlicnco she took her departure on tho 6th instant. Tho following particulars are extracted fron: tho vessel's log, which will account for her mating for this harbour: —" Loft Ncwcustlo for San Francisco April 6th. Had line weather until Monday April Bth, when the wind changed suddenly front tho N.E. to tho S W. andS.S.W., then veoringtothc S.E., blowing away tho spanker and other sails ; anc ou Rlond ly night, while lying under short sail, lost the rudder in latitudo 33 10 S., longitude 157'36 F. tho ship leaking badly. The crew were immodiatelj employed in throwing coals from holes cut tbrougl the cabin and forecastle floors, tho ship labouring vory heavily, and shipping largo quantities o: water. On the 12th, being a littlo moro moderate with drags and sparo spars woro ship, after whict the wind increased and lasted until tho 13th. In tin meantime, a rudder had been made from the spanke: boom and other spars, but it was too rough tc attempt to hang it, and on tho lGth sent down till lower foretopcail-yard and topmast studdingsai booms, and launched them over tho stern to stoei her, it dill blowing heavy in squalls, and on tho 19tl hung the rudder, under which she was brought intc this port." The hanging and inanufacturo of th< temporary steering apparatus displays an oxtrairdi nary amount of ingenuity, and must havo beet accompanied by untiring watchfulness and caro Captiin Giecnl'-af is also anxious to express hi* gratitude to pilut Walsh for the promptness witl which ho carao alongside his ship in tho dark ant ■itormy weather that prevailed during Thursday night, and although tho sea was so high that it wai impossible for a boat to lie alongside, Mr. Walsl carried the vessel safely into port. Tho rudder carried away close to tho transom, threo of tho ruddoi irons being broken short ofr, and no doubt the forci of tho sea that would causo such a mishap ha: started tho sternp ,-st, and would account for th< leakage. H. M. S. Salamander left Port Denison oil lCtl February. On the 22nd under sail, passed Clennon Group, and arrived at Port Albany on tho 23rd having anchored only once since leaving PortDenisoi found tho settlement all well, nothing of importance having occurred since tho last visit in August, ISUG Provisioned the settlement, and remained tliere nnti the Ist March, when she sailed with light winds fo the Stephen and Darling Islands, in the Great East ern Channel of Torres .Straits, which she rcachei next day (3rd March). Hero tho ship went oi shore for a tide on the north side, and she wa: •steamed oil' on tho tide rising, but sustained somi slight damage through tho heavy seas striking he: at low water whilst she was on tho reef. Oil the utl March theSah'nianderleftStephens Island uudersail aud reached Port Albany on the 7 th March, where shi remained a week. During this time thero was a sue ccssion of strongwinds from tlieN. W., with thunder lightning, and rain. After taking in coals she lef Port Albany on the 14th, and anchored oil' middli reef, Weymouth liay, on the 10th. Hence Captaii Is arcs and a party went up a previously nnknowi river in the boats. Tlic mouth of the river ii marked in the chart as " Kennedy's last camp., The boat went up the river about ten miles. At this point it w.is about thirty yards across, anc about twelve feet deep, the water perfectly fresh, Tho river was christened the Salamander. There is a bar at tho entrance on which the water is ver> shallow. Each side of tho river is clothed with palms and plantains, and is very picteresquc and tropical looking.
