The Aiiliambba—We learn by a private telegram received from Hokitika, (at wlichport the Rangitoto arrived nt half-past 11 on Wednesday night), that the Alhambra's non-arrival was caused, as was conjectured, by a mishap to her machinery, her shaft having been broken. She returned to 11 elbourne under sail, and her passengeis and cargo were transferred to the Rangitoto, which will arrive in Nelson some time to day. Among In r passengers for Nelson, are Mr. Henry Adams, of JN elson, Miss Adams, and Master Adams; and Mr. and Mrs, Morton.

Thk Lighthouse on the Sandspit. —We understand that the Lady Barkly will leave this evening for the Sandspifc, with Captain Johnston, (who represents the Marine Board) for the purpose of marking off tlie spot where the lighthouse will be erected. Contractors will find this a very favorable opportunity for inspecting and estimating for the required work.

The most rapid passage from England to Victoria ever accomplished without the aid of steam, has just been made by the new Aberdeen clipper Thermopylae, which reached Hobson's Bay a few days ago, after affecting the voyage from land to land in 62 days. . Discovery of a Rook in the Straits of Magellan.—The Panama Star and Herald, of December 25th, says :—" We have been favored with an extract of a letter addressed by the Admiral of the French Fleet in the Pacific to Monseiur.Le Vasseur, Consul of Franco at this port, which says : —Wo have discovered in the Straits of Magellan an unknown rock, situated a mile and 6.10 due South -from the South-we3tem point of Tamar Island. We saw at the. moment Cape Tamar to the North, 85 degrees due East. It has 4 metres 25 cent, of water at low tide.
