Chalmers the 4th instant, arrived in this harbour early yesterday morning. She experienced squally weather, with rain, during the, passage. Captain Brodie informs us, that he left ; Otago in j company with the brig Remark:, ;«nd|^at the Valiant had an interesting race with^tnat vessel, arriving in this port four or five hours before her. The Valiant is of a very ligfitf 'fraught "of water, having been apparently built fororossiDg bar harbours. She is 147 tons, with a breadth of beam of 23 feet, and only draws 7 feet J water.- She it peculiarly well adapted for the conveyance off stock.- ' '/'-:■■ ."':' ; ; i''i_ ' .

The brig Yarrow, Captain Scott, from Lyttelton . ph. Saturday last, arrived in this harbour on Monflay morning, after a quick run. The Yarrow left Wellington on Sunday morning, the 30th ult., with 173 head of cattle on board, and arrived at Lyttelton on Tuesday evening, and was very fortunate with her shipment, not having lost one head during the passage. The Tyra, hence the 3rd inst., bound to Ofcago, anchored off Port Cooper heads, as the Yarrow left. The Yarrow was in company With a largo ship and a barque on Sunday last, both hound through the Straits. The brig Remark, Captain Duncan, from Otago the 4th inst., arrived in this harbour yesterday morning. Experienced fair weather until Sunday night when she encountered a S.E. gale. Captain Duncan informs us, that his vessel left Port Chalmers after the Valiant, and passed her next day ; that the Remark was hove-to on Sunday night, from 10 p.m., to 2 a.m., the following morning, during the heavy S.E., gale, Capt. D., thinking it most prudent to enter the harbour by daylight. Captain Duncan ha 3 favored us with Otago papers up to the 4th inst., extracts from which will be found elsewhere. The Chili, from London, had arrived at Otago, after a quick passage of 79 days. The s.b. Aldinga, cleared out at Otago on the 30th ult., taking with her 13,152 ovs. 10 dwts of gold. The Chrysolite. — The ship Chrysolite, Cap" tain M'lntyre, arrived on Monday, after a somewhat lengthy run of 106 days. The Chrysolite left Gravesend on the 9th August, and the Downs on the following day ; had a long beat down the Channel, and did not pass the line until she had been out 38 days After crossing the equator had a continuance of southerly winds. On the 25th September the wind shifted to the N.W:, and blew a complete gale. Made a long passage ta the Cape, which she rounded on the 18th October, since which favorable winds have prevailed. On the 16th November th& ship experienced a complete hurricane from W.N.W, which blew away the close-reefed fore and main topsails, while scudding before the wind. The following ships were spoken on the voyage :— Bengollyn, Ijondon to Sydney, 12 days out ; Alfred, Plymouth to Sydney, lat. 20,33 N., long. 25.31 W. ; No. 6647, Bombay to Liverpool, lat, 6.39 N., long, j 35 51 W. ; Lockerby, Australia to London, lat. 50.65., long. 16-2. 9E. The Chrysolite has been detained by calms about four days on the coast, since she first sighted the land. She has brought out a large number of immigrants, in perfect health, and without a single casualty. — Lsttelton Times, 26th Nov. A melancholy accident happened on board the Chrysolite on the day of her entrance into Port. A man named Saddler, a passenger, had his leg entangled in a rope attached to the anchor ; the strain of the rope during the time that the anchor was lowered, completely tore off his foot. The unfortunate young man was only married a short time previous to the departure of the ship from England. The ship was in charge of the pilot at the time of the accident. — The poor fellow was conveyed in the Harbor-master's boat to the Hospital where the leg was amputated. We trust that the public will exercise their usual generosity in this painful case, and extend towards this unhappy sufferer, the same benevolence which they are always so ready to exhibit towards those upon whom the pressure of affliction weighs,— *'.J3is dat gui cito dat." — Canterbury Standard, 39th Nov, The report of the Victory having parted her chain and been driven back on the beach, proves to be too correct. Mr Scott was just on the eve of a successful termination to his long and arduous labors when the accident occurred, which has thrown his operations bo seriously back. On Friday last, the vessel was moved a-head several . hundred yards, and was fairly afloat. Outside of her, however, was a small bank, and, until the tide should flow further, tho work of heaving her off was stopped, and the furnaces were lit with the object of getting up steam, and bringing the vessel at once round to Port Chalmers by her own power. This interval proved fatal to the immediate success of the scheme. The steam was up till it showed on the Bafety- valve, and everything looked hopeful, when the main chain, by which the vessel was hove out, snapped at the windlass ; the vessels head gradually veered round, and she now lies broadside on the beach as before. It is satisfactory, however, that her position is now very different from her original one, by her being out a considerable distance, and it but requires promptitude, with Mr. Scott's skill, to make, under ordinary circumstances, another and second attempt perfectly successful.— Daily Times, 25th November. The attempt to remove the Victory is now understood to be abandoned by the Directors of the Company, but it is expected that an arrangement will be come to, if it is not already completed, according to which, Mr Scott will undertake her removal on his own account, receiving as his reward half the vessel, if successful, and giving the other half to the shareholders. It is a matter of , grave question, whether the vessel has not now been so injured, as te render the* attempt futile but Mr Scott, though greatly disappointed by the late unfortunate accident, is still hopeful of success.— Daily times, Nov. 28.
