The Wave of Live left Gravesend on the afternoon of 20th July, in company with the Catherine AdamHon: off the Lizard on 27th July, had light winds and calms all the way to the Line, which was crossed on Ist September, in longitude 13*30 W.; passed the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope on 25th September ; entered Bass' Straits 21st October, and arrived in Port Jackson yesterday. A great many ships in company to the northward of the Equator; but spoke none bound to the colonies, except the Catherine Adarnson, on 21st August, in latitude 13* N.— Sydney Herald, October 26. The Caernarvon left this port on 21st instant. On Friday, when about SO miles east of the Heads, sighted a school of whales; lowered the boats and fastened to two of them, but one got away, taking two tubs of line; the other, a fifty barrel fish, was secured, and taken alongside. As it was blowing a gale the blubber was cut in and taken below in bulk, but. the heavy rolling of the ship caused it to shift to leeward, which resulted in the loss of three boa,ts; wore ship, and endeavoured to get her upright, when a heavy sea broke on board, sweeping everything off the deck that was moveable, and carrying away bulwarks and stauncheons. The cabin was filled with water, and not only pumps but buckets were employed in freeing the ship. She has therefore come in to refit and get new boats.— Sydney Herald, October 26. . . ; Progress of the Gbeat Eastern,—The results of the labor of more than 1000 men continuously employed upon the Great Eastern, are showing themselves more evidently every day. During the' last six weeks great progress has been made in every part of the vessel. The whole of the heavy parts of her machinery are in their places, and the work in 1 this department ia so forward that, with one exception, it ■ could be completed, if necessary, in five or six weeks. The exception is the crank axle for one of the paddle engines, a new one having to be cast, which will be • ready, however, long before it is required. The paddles are in a very forward state, and form very conspicuous objects. The whole of the side decks of the forward first-class compartments are laid and bulked,, and several of the state-rooms are completed, as regards the work of the carpenters and joiners. These rooms will be of dimensions surpassing everything that has yet been seen in a ship. The arrangements - for launching the Great Eastern are also rapidly progressing, and it is now expected that this important event will take'place during the spring tides of October.— Gores General Advertiser, July 23.
