The following letter of instructions to captains crossing the Southern Ocean has been issued by tne Shaw, Savill, and Albion \ Company. It will be seen at a glance how | desirous the company are for the safety and I comfort of their passengers In order to assimilate the rou « pursued in the Southern Ocean by steamers sailing under our flag, so as to provide the greatest chance of assistance in the event of any steamer becoming disabled, as well as to ensure the greatest comfort and safety to passengers, it has been decided to lay down a track to which the passenger and cargo steamers alike shall adhere, as far as wind and weather will permit. Commanders are, therefore, instructed to keep within half a degree of the following routes :— Outwards : On leaving Capetown, or passing the Cape, all tracks are to converge at 40 E. 44 S., and thence the respective parallels of longitude are to be crossed as follows:soth parallel at 44-50, 60th at 45 25, 70th at 45*40, 80th at 45-55, 90th at 4630, 100 th at 47, 110 th at 46'45, 120 th at 46'20, from which point vessels will proceed to ultimate destination as may be found most convenient. Homewards: Vessels leaving New Zealand will converge on 165 W., 48'30S.,and thence the respective parallels are to be crossed as follows :—l6oth parallel at 4900, 150 th at 49-30, 140 th at 50 00, 130 th at 50*50, 120 th at 51-30. 110 th at 52-10, 100 th at 52*45, 90th at 54 00, 80th at 55-00, thence proceeding round the Horn as may be convenient. AN AUSTRIAN WARSHIP. The Austrian corvette Fosana, which has arrived at Melbourne, has a displacement of 1970 tons, and carries a large spread of canvas. She has made the voyage from Batavia, which was left on February 13, altogether under sail. She carries five heavy guns and a couple of machine-guns. During the stay in Batavia Lieutenant Brosch and a midshipman aamed Langberger were attacked by fever, and had to be removed to the shore hospital. When convalescent they will proceed to Sydney, where they will rejoin their shin. Some heavy westerly weather was met with off Cape Leuwin, and a regrettable fatality occurred to one of the able seamen. He was assisting to take in the foretopgallant sail, when he lost his footing and fell from. the yard upon the forecastle head, receiving terrible injuries, from which he speedily succumbed. The body was buried at sea. Captain Elder von Adamovic, the commander of the Fosana, has the following officers with him, namely, Lieutenants Ple3kott, Httller, Guberth, lvanclch,Grassberger, Schwarz, Heyssler. Dr. Kukic, Dr. Leihm, Chief Engineer Schiel, Second Engineer Kozianzicn, and Paymaster Psyir. There are also2o midshipmen on board, and a crew of 240 men. SHIPPING DISASTERS IN CHINESE .WATERS. The steamer Changsha, which arrived at Sydney on the 10th instant, from Hongkong, brought word that H.M.S. Pigmy returned to Hongkong after an unsuccessful search for the missing steamer St. Asaph. It js now certain that the St. Asaph foundered during a heavy storm near Hongkong, and that every soul perished. The Cape City, a Britishbuilt iron barquentine, on a voyase from Foochow to Amoy, has been lost off the China coast, the captain being drowned. A new steel steamship, the Tan tod a vessel of 3503 tons, with over 1000 Chinese passengers on board, ran ashore between Amoy and Hong- , kong during a heavy fog. The place she struck was Table Island, and she went on the rocka, smashing in her bows, and bottom plates badly ripped. The forehold, full of rice, filled. The steamer Soochow tran- , shipped the passengers and landed them at , Hongkong, but a tugboat (the Pilot Fish), > sent to render assistance, herself went upon ■ & reef and was totally wrecked. J -— . • I THE BUTESHIRE, ' 3 _ The South Head correspondent of the j Sydney Morning Herald wired on the 10th 9 instant: "he steamer Buteshire, from i Queensland ports, is lying-to off the Heads, » as though waiting for orders.
