The whole of the Gothenburg's cargo was brought into the river yesterday by the Isabella and Jane Elkin, ani to-day she will take her departure for Melbourne at 2 p.m. This fuither delay was unavoidable, but will not prevent, her reaching Melbourne in time to catch tbe English steamer, , which leaves the port on the 28th. Favored by lovely weather and smooth -stater, the harbor steamers got through a considerable amount of work yesterday. On the morning's tide the Challenge towed out the brigantine Lady Don schooner Lady Darling, and cutter Dart, and was moored at the wharf again before breakfast. The Yarra also ran out, and cleared the Taranaki of her remaining passengers. On Hie afternoon's tide she convej ed passengers and mails on board that vessel, and towed in the Jane Elkin and Isabella, both laden with cargo from the Gothenburg, thus concluding her work for the day. The Challenge finished off by towing in the brigantine Hector, and then dropped down to her usual place at the wharf. She reports the bar to be in excellent condition, the least depth of water found being ten feet. The brigantine Hector left Hobson's Bay on the 3rd instant, with light N.W. winds aiid fine weather, but on clearing Port Phillip rieads found a strong northeaster blowing. For four days she was kept in the Straits under reduced canvas by a succession of gales, and on the Bth, the weather moderating and the wind hauling to the northward, she was enabled to clear the land, and stood on her course to the eastward-. The wind then shifted to the N.W., and afterwards to W. and S W., remaining steady there during the run across, which was made in six days. Abut Head was sighted on the 14th, and the roadstead gained the following day ; but it was not until the 18th that the bar was crossed, and then she was towed inside by the Challenge. The Hector brings a full general cargo. Another day has passed without tbe appearance of the William Miskin, and her protracted arrival fills us with very grave apprehensions for the safety of that smart little vessel. We trust she has not come to grief in the Straits, but our fears on this point were in nowise allayed on perusing the following paragraph, which appeared in the " Otago Daily Times" of the 13th inst. : — The captain of the schooner Elfin, which arrived yesterday from Hokitika, reports what is suggestive of a wreck. He states that at sundown on Wednesday, when he was eight miles to the eastward of the Solander, he saw a sail or blanket waving from the S.W. corner of the small island. Tliere was no breeze, and he was not able to make out anything more. — " Otago Daily Times," Oct. 13.'
