She brings about 40 passengers, of whom 17 are cabin, and a full cargo, having been obligea to refuse both passengers and cargo? She has 200 sheep and 28 horses, which, m consequence of the remarkably fine passage, have been landed in splendid condition. Her last voyage up was rather protracted, occasioned by the very stormy weather she experienced, which split several of her sails carried away p^rt of her bulwarks,, and did other damage. She is expected to sail on Tuesday for Melbourne with a full cargo/ which has been collected for her at Port Chalmers. Up to our going to press we hear no tidings of the "Avonvale.Ji now about 121' days out from Gravesend. We hope she is not to be another Thetis.
