Pet, barque, from Hobart Town Daniel Watson, brig, from Hobart Town The barque Pet, previously reported as at the Heads, where she arrived on Sunday last, was towed up this forenoon by the Samson. She left Storm Hajari the afternoon of the 11th ; sighted no vessel except those which joined her at the Heads ; brings a cargo ot sawn timber, palings, and shingles ; papers of the Bth instant. The Daniel Watson, from Hobart Town, also previously reported, is now being towed up, the heavy weather from S.W. having prevented her, or tl:e other vessels, previously leaving the Heads. The Daniel Watson is commanded this time by Captain Gudwood, Captain Young- having- been detained by domestic affair)-. The Bella Vista, from Melbourne, arrived outside the Heads on Monday evening, about an hour after the arrival of the Queen steamer. She made a rapid passage, having sailed on Sunday week. Had strong variable winds from N. to S.S.W., and heavy snow equallsaftcr comingthronghFovcaux'Straits. Sighted the Aldinaa on the other side of Foveaux'Straits under steam and fore, and aft canvas. At midnight on Sunday week had spoke the Queen, and was passed "by her again on Monday evening a short distance off the Heads, which Captain Tonner succeeded in reaching, notwithstanding that the vessel's rudder-head bad' been wrung' in the course of the passage. The Streamlet, not yet. arrived, had leJt some time previous to the Bella Vista, and the Evelina Rutter was on the berth. The Omega, previously reported as at the Heads, was the second vessel towed upjto-day by the Samson. The manifest' of her cargo, consigned to Messrs. Tickle and Co., has already been published. The Chariot of Fame, for London, sailed this inornin". She is the first vessel to carry any quantitylof New Zealand products direct to England, and she has besides a valuable cargo of wool and some passengers. She belongs to the White . Star line, is_ a vessel noticeable by her firmness and fine proportions, and, in Capt. Kerr, is commanded by a superior seaman. With these qualities there U every hope of her making a speedy and successful passage, and it is so far well that, though deeply laden, and one of the largest ships that has left the port, she got clear of Port Otago Heads without accident, and, with all sail set, left before a spanki hg breeze. ■ The Lyttelton sailed to-day with another batch of passengers for Waikouaiti on their way to the Highlay diggings, a quantity cfrgoods, and timber for the erection of stores. If there be any chance of, the little bay becoming a pei-mauent landing-place in connection with the new diggings, it would be a great convenience if a few piles could be driven in the sand, or a wheeled stage placed at the spot, so that the Maori and other'boats might run alongside, and save passengers the.frequent wettings to which they are now subjected. A. store for the. accommodation of the numbers landing, who have at present no protection of any kind, is already being put \ip by Messrs. McKenzie and Poole, Dunedin, and better facilities T-^fycist for the conveyance jf goods along the shore to ?th'e roadway. > ■ .■ . ■-'••*■ • . .—.—_^ ; . Steam on the Itivuns op India.—Advices ii-om Bombay- state that the Burmah Steam Company has obtained the.contract for carrying the mail between that place and Kurrachee, but that in the meantiiua ttye. service is performed by the steamer Rifle, belonging to the Oriental Island Steam Company. The new steamer Indus, belonging to the same company, bad performed'aer first voyage to Moolt an most successfully in 23 day 3, with two fully laden bargca.nndtho steamer Sut'lej, belonging to. the same «"ompAny, had made her hist voyage with two lr.den i>avg<!3 in 24 days, which was a great improvement on previous performances. The Indus was on hersecond voyage when the mail left, and the quantity of goods offering is said to hnve much increased. The Calcutta papers speak favorably of the energy with which the business of the co iupauy,was being-pressed forward at that place, the Soane steamer having been put together and launched ill twomonths'tvith her machinery on board, and it was expected that she would be running :in Ve\nanvy.—MUcliM'sSteaiu-Shippiiu/ Journal, Feb. 21.
