The American schooner Trader, from the Mauritius, arrived in this harbour on Thursday night, after a passage of 65 days! She sailed from the Mauritius on the I9tli Septembei", . experienced winds until reaching Bass' Straits, when she met with calms and light winds', put into Twofold Bay for a supply of fresh water, and made the passage from thence in 15 days. The Trader is the same vessel that ran the-block-ade at Charleston some nine or ten months since, and successfully eluded the vigilance of the Federal cruisers. She was taken to London and sold ; from thence she proceeded to Port Natal, coast of Africa ; thence to the Mauritius, and from thenco she has come on here. We hear that the captain is owner, and is disposed to sell his vessel, if he can find a purchaser. She is a fine roomy vessel, sails well, and is well adapted for the cattle trade. The s.s. Queen, Capt. Polo, from Otago via Lyttelton, arrived in this harbour on Thursday last, with the European September Mails. She left Otago on the a4th inst. at 13-30 a.m., arrived at Lyttelton on the 25th at 7. 15. p.m.; sailed from thence on the 26th at 9. 30, a.m., and arrived here on the 27th at 11 a.m. The detention of the mail was caused by the Oineo making a long passage, tho particulars of which will be found in our shipping column. The steamship Omeo, with the English mail arrived in Port this (Sunday) afternoon, having left Port Phillip Heads at f> a.m. on Sunday, the 16th instant. During the first part of the voyage she experienced fine weather, and favourable winds; then strong winds and heavy sea, which proved very dangerous for the horses, of which thei'a were 143 on board at leaving. On Thursday night, 20th inst., strong N,W. winds were experienced, with a heavy sea, causing the ship to roll so heavily that a row of stalls, containing nineteen horses, gave way, setting the animals at liberty. But for the prompt manner in which Captain M'Lacklan and crew had the horses all secured by the feet, the consequences might have been serious. One horse, during the gale, was precipitated into the hold, but, strange to say, was brought up next morn. ing not much the worse for its fall. Eight horses died on the passage, this result being caused by the continued rough weather. The speed of the Omeo has been considerably increased by improved machinery, and 6he would have made a rapid passage, but was obliged, on account of the horses to run before the wind to the southward, and come round Stewart's Island. Her new machinery was also more stiff in its working than it is likely to be in future. The mail arrived in Melbourne on the afternoon of the llth inst., having been telegraphed from Adelaide on the morning of the 10th, The delay in the departure of the Omeo to the 15th was caused by the circumstances of her engines not being perfectly finished. The Soutland portion of the mail was brought on here. The Northern portion has been transferred to the Queen, which sails early. As usual we have been favored by Capt. M'Lachlan with files of English papers, in addition to those of our Victorian contemporaries. — Daily 'rimes, Oct. 24. The I.C KM. Company's s.s. Prince Alfred, ] Capt. Wheeler from Sydney via Nelson, arrived in this harbour ou Thursday morning last. She sailed from Sydney on the 15th inst., and arrived at Nelson on the "-Jlst, after a quick passage of five days 15 hours. Sailed from Nelson on the 25th, at 11. 30 p.m. and arrived at Picton the following morning at 11 o'clock. Left Picton on the 27th at 6 a.m., and arrived in this port at 11-30 a.m., the same day. Since the Prince Alfred was last here, she has undergone a thorough overhaul, and is now considered one of the fastest and best boats out of Sydney;
