The schooner Bertha, Captain Clark, from Tahiti bound to Sydney, put into this harbour on Wednesday last, through stress of weather. She is a clipper looking veeael, haviug been buit at Connecticut, U.S.A., ani belongs to the French Protectorate.

The barque Frowning Beauty, cleared at H.M Customs yesterday, for Sydney. She takes a valuable cargo, consisting principally of wool, the estimated value of which is jj 14,960 14s. 3d.; £13,251 6s. Bd., being for Colonial produce, and £1709 Ts. 6d. for foreign tobacco. Tin's wool has been shipped for London via Sydney, in consequence of there being no vessel on the berth immediately after the sailing of the Asterope. We confess that we would much rather see our wool sent home in direct ships than by way of the colonies. The VV.S.N. Company's s s. Storm Bird, Captain Mundle, from Otage and Lyttelton, arrived in this harbour on Saturday last, at 6 p.m. Discharged cargo and passengers, and coaled the same evening; and sailed the followiug day (Sunday), for Wanganui, at 4 p.m., with a large cargo. She arrived at Wanganui the following day, and ran alongside the wharf at 2 p.m. Discharged cargo, and sailed from thence on Tuesday last at noon ; and arrived in thie harbour *t one o'clock on Wednesday morning—thus accomplishing the voyage to and from Wanganui in the short space of fifty, seven and a half hours. The Storm Bird sailed again on Thursday morning last, for Picton and Nelson, and is expected to return here on the 25th instant, with the European and Australian mails. Theß.s. Wonga Wonga left Wellington afc 9 a.m. on the Bth instant, experienced strong N.W. gale crossing the Straits, landed cargo in the Sound, and arrived at Picton at 7 p.m. samp day. Sailed thence at 3*30 a.m. on the 9th, experienced strong head winds during the greater part of the ptssage, and arrived at Nelson at 8 p. m. same day ; remained at that place for the purpose of repairing and. cleaning, until 4 p.m. of the 14 th, when she sailed for Picton ; experienced mo. derate N. W. winds, and anived at Picton at 4 a.m. on the 15th, making the run in 12 hours— including about two hours' detention in calling at Petrangi and Pig Island. Left Picton at 11 a.m. same day, experienced light baffling winds and thick rainy weather, on the passage across, a"nd arrived in this port at 6-30 p.m: of the 16th. The Wonga Wonga sailed again, for Otago, on Wednesday last, with a full cargo and an average number of passengers.

We observe that at last something like a definite arrangement has been made for getting off the Victory. In another column appears the prospectus of a company formed for the purpose t The capital is to be .£7OO, in 140 shares of .£5, with £i paid up on allotment. The proprietors of the ship are to have JBOOO, half cash, half on terms. The cost for floating the ship is estimated at £2000. The process to be employed is by means of hydraulic appliances, for which Mr; Scott of Newcastle, N.S.W., has a patent, and which has been extensively employed in England. Mr. Scott is to superintend the work himself, and his remuneration is to depend on his success.— - Olago Daily Times. We understand that the owners of the Omeo

and Aldlnga, are now getting out another power 1 * fill steamer— the Gottenburg. The Gottenburg is said to be a first-class clipper steamer of 700 tons. She should now be about fifty-five days out.— lbid.

S. 'Omeo.' — The Onieo, Captain M'Lachlan, from Melbourne, arrived on Monday with the mails from England, having made the passage in six and a-half days. The Omeo waited from the 10th to the 13 th for the arrival of the Benares and having taken the mails on board, sailed the same day, but did not get clear of Port Phillip Heads until early on Tuesday, 14th. The Omeo experienced light winds and very hot weather for the first part of the voyage, and light S. W. winds in the latter portion. On Sunday, I9th, at noon, the Omeo spoke the s.s. Aldinga, 60 miles E. by, . N. from Solander Island. A fe\y days before the. Omeo sailed the Russian frigate Swetlana anchored in Hobson'a Bay, en route from Batavia' to the Baltic. H.M.3; Pelorus arrived shortly afterwards. Both these ships, and likewise the Great Britain, were thrown open to the public, and thousands availed themselves of the opportunity to visit them. The English news relative (o America caused great excitement in Melbourne. The cause of the Benares being behind her time was that the repairs of the Egyptian Eailway had not been completed. While at Melbourne the Omeo went on the patent slip and underwent a thbrdugh. overhaiiL-^-J4£^^_.-; .'" Mtjbdebonthe High Seas. — William Chamberlain, one of the crew of the clipper ship Boston Light, that arrived in this port yesterday morning from New York, has been arrested by the U.S. Marshall, charged with killing William B. Riely,~ the second officer of the ship, by stabbing him with a sheath-knife while he (the deceased) was standing at the wheel, on the 4th of June 'last. The wounded man lived thirty-six hours after being stabbed. J. B. Manchester had been retained as counsel for the prisoner. — Sanfrancisco Dai Is Mirror, November sth.
