We feel much plrasiue in announcing lh-it the s.s. Eleanor, which has so long laid on the North Spit of the lliver Grpy, is onco moro afloat, having been moved on ways from her first position lo the edge of the river, w!»e.-i (he steamtug Lioness made fast lo her, and after two sittompis, succeeded in dragging her into tbe water, iiftcrwr-riU towing her s-iifuly to tlm raooiing-placc in front of the town.

The s.s. William Miskin left Poit Chalmers nn the 13th ins'ant, at B.SO p.m., with moderate N.E. winds and fine weather. She arrived at the l.lnff the next day, at 11 a.m.. wheic she remained two horns only, sailing again at 1 p.m. In tho meantime tho wind hauled into the. S.W., and commenced blowing fiesh iv squalls, one of which struck the steamer as she was clearing Ihe^ harbour, and split hor mainsail in pieces. Seeing there was every nppeaMinee of bad wmither, and Mic sea rapidly getting up, it was deemed advisable to wear round and run back to tho whaif. Here she lay for six and thirty hours, the gaie in the meantime blowing furiously ; but on tho Kith, the glass givintr indications of a change, and the weather slightly moderating, stpain was again got up, and at 10 a.m. sho left the harbour und proceoded to mm. At noon, however, the gale again sprung up with incipased violence from iho W.S.W., driving her for shelter to Hlenait's I>iar.d, where she anchored off Murray tteneli at 3 ]J;m. A slight lull occuiring at .sundown, the Miukiii got up her anchor, and nt 9 p.m. mado -mother attempt to steam to the weslwaid, which proved equally as futile ns Ihe preceding one.-.-, for hho hardly had cleared her friendly Miclti-r when she again caught tho gale fiom the same quailer, and oncn more was forced to seek the Ice of Ihe land. Nothing daunted by previous lehnlfc, tho Miskin at 7 a.m. on the 17lh— Ihe wind having veered into the K.N.W. and fallen li;d>t ami variable, put lo sea once inoip. I.ut had only time to make a good oiling when her old enemy fiom ihe W.S.W. ngain appealed, and the glass falling to 29 deg. 0 miii, hhe «gai:i slewed her stern (0 it, and ran hack 101 0 Mus:el 15ay. Sh^, bowever, had bmely reached it when the Weather suddenly cleau-d and the g.dc alaled ; so instead of anchoring, the plucky little boat stood onlsido again. January 18th commenced with slioug N.N.W. winda and a Ihrcatening cloudy sky, (he baiometer, too, giving warning thero wa.i*moie than a mere capful of wind coming. Tluvo prognostieatioiiß were soon veriiied, for at 4 a.m. the wind freshened in tj a g;do that boon \>\v\\ v
