Tbe list of departures and of vessels at the Heads on Monday, was accidentally omitted from our shipping column in yesterday's issue. The vessels which anchored at the Heads on that day, in addition to the other arrivals, were the Nor' Wester, from Melbourne. the Bella Marina, irom Melbourne, the Bengal and Dunedin, from Sydney, and the Mandarin, wind bound. The Nor' Wester is still at the Heads, where she arrived on Monday evening, and will discharge her passengers to-morrow. The Bella Marin*, which

arrived on Sunday morning, discharged her passengers into the Samson, and was subsequently towed up, having a small quantity of cargo to unload here. The Bengal is now inside the Heads, and pai i, of her passengers, who number upwards of 200, have already landed. The barque Dunedin, which was also towed up in the afternoon, brought 90 passengers, who proceeded to. town in small boats, and by the Lady Barkly. ..All these vessels report having experienced heavy westerly weather. The Sydney vessels report also Tthat several more were on the berth there for Otago, and the passengers state that great numbers of diggei-s were flocking into Sydney with the intention of joining ships for Otago. All the passages by.the Lord Worsley had been taken up, and many waited for ten days expecting ber arrival, when the news of her Joss was received. The Mandarin, reported as having returned to the Heads wind-bound, after battling "with tbe weather for several weeks, sailed after receiving a fresh supply of stores.

The ship Jura, already reported, discharged her passengers to-day into the Ruby, by which vessel they were conveyed to town—Mr Alien, immigration agent, being present, as usual, to receive those being assisted passengers, ofwhom there were a number—principally younj? females, and all of a very respectable class. A considerable proportion of the pa&sengers are from the North of Scotland—many of them accustomed to pastoral pursuit::, and others'to a sea-coast and fishing life. _ The list includes also a number of skilled mechanics. Among the other sources of enjoyment on board, the Debating Club was the most: patronised, the meetings being held bi-weekly, aud aavlng an average attendance of 22 members, out of. a roll of 32, of whom Mr Ban- was president, and Mr J. \. Smith, vice-president, -Vr Bain and others filling the secretaryship; and sirai'ar offices. Mrs M'Neill. whose death occurred on board, after a settled illness and a premature birth, was a native of Torn eat, Haddingtoi-cbire. The death formed the subject of a very affecting funeral sermon by tbe Rev. Mr M'Naughton, who was on boa. J, and who, with Captain Chambers, Dr Adams, and others, took an active interest in the welfare of the passengers. Of the Cheviot, wliich left the Clyde before the Jura, there is as yet no appearance.
