The Tasmanian Maid got aground, at ebb tide, at Collingwood, on her return trip on Saturday last, by which she was delayed, and did not reach the wharf at Nelson till half-past eight on Sunday morning. The Louis and Miriam left Sydney on Wednesday, 14th instant, at 6 a.m., and on the 21st, hove-to about 30 miles off Cape Farewell during a heavy gale from the N. N. W. From this time, the weather being so thick, she could not run for the Bay, and no sights could be obtained. On the morning of Friday, the 23td, the haze cleared away, and Cape Farewell was visible,bearing S. by E. 25 miles; she has therefore made' the run from land to land in seven days; Vessels to sail from Sydney with Passenger '«.— Comet, schooner, for Nelson, October 15; Burnett, brig, for Wellington and Nelson, on same day* As the Tasmanian Maid was steaming out of the Port yesterday, she encountered one of the heaviest seas ever met with by ships leaving the this port. She behaved in a most nolile manner, which proves her to be 8 first-class sea boat. ~ Another Passenger Case: —-Williamstown Police Court, Friday, October 3, before Lieutenant Pasco, T. Mason, and G. F. Verdon, Esqs. W. H. Ray, master of the ship John Linn, ...fi-Qm Liverpool, appeared to answer the complaint of Charles Broad, Esq., immigration officer, for the improper berthing of the passengers. Mr. Read appeared for the defence. A large number of passengers were iri attendance. From the evidence it appeared that the, ship was chartered by Mr. Edward Thompson, of Liverpool, the same person who chartered the Dragoon, and that the same disregard to the requirements of the act as to berthing the passengersJtwDj^ji.b^ini?^ —ftnrprar<nfot fhrough, when the court adjourned until Monday, inflicting a penalty of £5 and costs in each case; On Monday the sth, the Bench again resumed the hearing of the case, when Mr. Broad called Thomas Moscoff, who proved that the berth he occupied was shared by another man, and that underneath them a married couple were placed, The Bench inflicted a penalty of £40 and costs, one moietj' to the witnesses in attendance, Mr. Broad withdrawing the other cases. He however stated, that a girl who had been berthed with seven' men during the voyage had been obliged to teave Melbourne, or he would have gone into her assQ.—^Melbourne Argus. Small-pox on board the Commodore Perry.—Early yesterday morning, if> was ascertained that small-pox had broken out on board the.ship Commodore Perry now lying off Gellibrand's Point, .and almost ready for sea, having discharged over 600 passengers and about 3000 tons of merchandise. The vessel was immediately placed in quarantine, and a water police boat prevented any communication being held with her. H.M.C.S. Victoria is under Orders to proceed with her to the Quarantine station. A Government Gazette extraordinary, issued yesterday afternodn from the office of the Chief Secretary, contains the following notice relative to this vessel:—" The existence of emall-pox on board of the vessel Commodore Perry, riow lying in Hobson's Bay, having been reported to the Government, his Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has ordered the said vessel, and the crew thereof, and such of the passengers as are still on board, to perform quarantine, at the quarantine station at Point Nepean, for a period of fourteen clear days from the convalescence of the last case of small-pox: and all persons are hereby required to take notice accordingly."— lbid. We regret to learn that great fears are entertained of the total loss ,of the brig Retriever, bound from Sydney to the Bluff with stock. A mainmast and a boat, supposed to belong to the ill-fated vessel, and a number of dead sheep, have been picked up on the west coast, which leaves little' doubt of her having gone to pieces.—CoZonistf. [The captain of the Ca'ypso, which vessel arrived here on the 16th, confirmed the above. He states that he inspected the boat on the beach1, on which were the letters RET.— Hobart Town Mercury."] As 4He steamer Wonga Wonga was passing Seal Island at noon on JFriday, a fire was perceived on shore. Captain Walker immediately despatched a boat in charge of his chief officer, Mr: Rimmer, who on landing found, three men there; Alexander Matthewson, James Tracy, and John Harris; They proved to be the crew of the Plenty, ketch, and reported that while she was engaged in conveying meat from Port Albert to the Little River she was blown off the shore, and was wrecked attempting to make the Seal Islands. The men have been brought to this port by the Wonga Wonga. They had been four days on the island, without food*— Argus, October 8.
