The Lord Woksley.—The Lord Worsley arrived at Wellington on the 22nd instant. She sailed fiom Otago on the 16fch, and arrived at Lyttelton on the 18th instant, after a passage of 24 hours. The passage from Lyttelton to Wellington occupied 27 hours. The following account of her passage out is from the Otago Colotiist of October 6:—The screw steamer Lord Worsley arrived at Port Chalmers on the 2nd instant, having left Greenhithe on the 2nd June. After clearing tlie English Channel she continued under steam to Madeira, which was sighted on the 11th, and the Canaries on the 13th. With light N.E. trades she ran down to the line, which was crossed on the 29th, steaming against a strong breeze from the southward. Trinidad was passed on the 10th July, and the S.E. trades were lost on the 13th. tfrom this time to the 20th August, on which day the Cape was doubled, she experienced strong adverse gales, with calms, and occasional light fair breezes. On the 22nd August passed a portion of a wreck, with figure-head (a helmet) attached. Westerly winds prevailed up to the Ist instant, when the land of New Zealand was sighted at 4 p.m., and Otago Heads were reached under steam the following morning. The voyage occupied 122 days, 107 of which were under canvass, and 15 under steam. Two births occurred duri»g the passage, but no deaths. The Lord Worsley is 580 tons measurement, 90 nominated horse power, 190 feet long over all, and 24 feet beam. Her draught of water when laden is 12 feet. There is a poop, midship round-house, and top-gallant forecastle on the upper deck j and she has a ladies' cabin, poop cabin, and 30 berths for first-class passengers, and 60 berths in-the fore-1-* cabin. She is barque rigged, and has trunk engines, three-bladed fans, and' is capable of going 10 knots under steam. There is a shifting steam winch for taking in and discharging cargo, and $ condensing apparatus, making 500 gallons of fresh -water per day,on a consumption of 15 cwt. of coals. The Rosebud—lnformation was received in town, on Monday afternoon, of the stranding ofthe Rosebud in Worser's Bay. This vessel sailed on Saturday for Sydney, but in consequence of the strong northerly winds brought up iii the Narrows. During Saturday it blew bard, and the Rosebud, parting from her anchors, drifted ashore; fortunately, the spot was soft and shingly, arid no seriousdamage was sustained. Messrs. Bowler and Co., the agents, immediately on receiving intelligence, despatched a boat containing five hands, and with their assistance the vessel was floated, and under jury masta, returned into port last evening — Wellington Independent, Oct. 20. The Oliver Lang.—ln attempting to move this vessel on Saturday last, the force pf the wind overcame the little Wonga, and the ship drifted on to Te Aro beach. Yesterday she was again got off, and hove down off Swinbourne's wharf for -repair.— Wellington Independent, Oct. 20. The Lord Worsley was about to, proceed to Auckland by the East Coast, calling at Napier on her way. Composition for Coating Ships' Bottoms.—An improved composition'for coating the bottoms of ships hasbeen patented in England. This, composition is made of 112 pounds weight of dry white lead, eight pounds weight of dry lead, six pounds weight of litharge, three gallons of japanners' gold size, one gallon of boiled linseed oil, and half a gallon of spirits -of turpentine." These are mixed well together and applied tp the surface with a trowel. If preferred, tho composition can be made more fluid by adding the turpentine and linseed oil in lai-gcr portions, sothat it can be applied with a brush like common paint. It prevents the action of sea-water on the bottom of the ship, and no vegetable or animhl matter tan adhere.—■ Hunt's Merchant's Magazine.
