The ship Niphon, from London, utill remains at anchor outaide tho Heads, the strong B.W. breeze of yesterday prevented hi r from waking Uks Port anchorage. The 8.8, Gothenburg took her departure for Melbourne via Northern and Woat Coast Forts, at 2 p.m. yesterday. The barque Record Bailed from Newcastle on the 20th nit., for Port Chalmers. The fine clipper ship Elizabeth Nicholson, which arrived hero last year, after a rapid pannage from London, consigned to Messrs W. Crosby and Co., has greatly distinguished herself on the run borne from China, In an English paper received by last mail it is recorded that " the China clipper ship Elizabeth Nicholaon, 004 tons register, commanded by Captain Thomas Crosbie, of Kirkbeon, built and owned by Messrs Nicholson, of Annan, arrived from China in the West India Dock, London, after a upl ndid passage of eighty-nine days, although becalmed off the Western Me* for five days, but for which the rim Home would havebcontnado in eighty-four days. This almost unprecedented passage of the Elizabeth Nicholson is about fourteen days leas than that of any of tho celebrated clippers ensaged in the laat i ureat race from China." The performances of the ships Ariel, Taeping, Spindrift, Sir Launcelot, and others, were looked upon as ' something wonderful, but this feat of the ; filizabeth Nicholson distances them altogether.—Aryun, 23 rd ult.

THE STEAMSHIP ROB HOY

The most prominent of the arrivals in port yesterday wan unquestionably tho new ucrew steamer Rob Itoy, which has made the voyage out to these waters under canvas. NotwitliHtandin^ the number of steam vessels of all sizes and capacities at present plying in the Australian colonies, it would appear that the demand for steamer 4 suited to tho particular requirements of intercolonial trading i» by no means exhausted ; for »ca> cely has the smart little screw steamer John Pcnn, with her wonderful engines, left here for the West Coast, than there arrives the Rob Itoy, a vessel of larger tonnage and greater steam power, and equally designed, like the John Pcnn, to supply a want in tho coasting trade. The Rob Roy was built at tho establishment of Me«nre 'fhoa. Wingato and Co., Whitw Inch, under tho special superintendence of Mr 11. Liddle, and as a model she will bear favorable comparison with vessels of Ber class out here. In design and work* manship, an well as in material, equipment, and finish, Messrs Wingate have done her ample justice, and have been highly successful in furnishing another creditable instance of their shipbuilding and engineering roaoureea, and it need scarcely be added that she is classed Al at Lloyd's. The dimensions of the Rob Roy are as follow:—Extreme length, MSft; beam, 22ft; and depth of hold, 10ft; her gross tonnage is 308, and when in st^nming trim, her carrying capacity is eqnal to 200 tons of cargo, on a draught of Bft Gin of water. Tho saloon is a handsomely furninhed apartment, and, with the ladies' cabin, can accommodate thirty passengers, for whose comfort and convenience every requisite, including shower and plunge baths, lavatories, <&c, have been provided. The arrangements for Hooon<l-clnaa passengers, the berths for wf.nm aro limited to twenty, arc also complete, and »how a duo regard for their welfare at sea. As the Rob Itoy is intended for tho carriage of stock as well as passengers, her 'tween decks havo been fij*»/ »r ™**> f-*»l» f"r.*^° accommodation of from twenty to thirty horses, and the plan adopted for their safe conveyance denotes considerable forethought. The steamer is also furnished with all the modern improvements, in the shape of steamwinches, &c. for the rapid and emewnt working of the vassal, and in thojoading and discharging of cargo. Tho engines are of 50 horse-power nominal, which can bo increased to 212 : they aro on tho inverted direct acting principle, and were also made at the works of Messrs Wingato. Tho speed attained on her trial trip at Home was eleven and a half knot«, but as a further trial will shortly be made in the bay, a fuller description of the engines and their working is reserved until then. Externally, tho Rob Roy at present bears all tho traces of a long sea voyage, but when she has been slipped and painted, and put in steaming order, the will show to infinitely more advantage. With regard to the passage out, Captain Anderson reports that tho Rob Roy, origrigged, left Glasgow on tho 4th January, and put into Kingston, from whenceaheeaited for Melbourne on tho 21st Jan., and crossed the Equator on the thirty-second day out. Tho voyage, with the exception of twoor three severe gales, waa distinguished throughout by a prevalence of light and variable winds ; and as tho vessel has a heavy cargo of cast-iron pipes and malt liquor, the voyage has been somewhat tedious. During tha heavy weather, however, she behaved admirably. The Rob Roy passed Cape Otway at noon on Tuesday ; entered the Heads yesterday morning, and, after being cleared in the bay by the immigration offioer, she was towed up to the Queen's Wharf, where she will discbarge her largo cargo. Tho Rob Roy was built to tho order of Messrs Robinson and Lilly, of Launccston, tho same enterprising firm under whose auspices tho s.s. Helen M'Qregor was brought out to this Colony. Mr Robinson, ono of the partners, camo out in tho Rob Roy.— Argus, 21st ult.
