The Sussex barque wished to be reported as leaving Spring Bay on a whaling voyage.

The Sir W.F. Williams, of the Black Ball Line,     arrived yesterday from Liverpool, after a splendid passage of 81 days from the Mersey, bringing as passengers 339 Bounty immigrants, classified as foll- ows:-Married men 38; ditto women 49; single men 63 ; ditto women 74 ; boys (seven under 14 ) 26 ; ditto (one under 7) 23 ; ditto (under 1) 3; girls (seventeen under 14) 25; ditto (one under 7) 25; ditto (under 1) 1 ; total 339. Of the above, four children under seven years died during the voyage. Two infants also died not included in the above, making the total number of deaths 6. There was one birth on the 14th September, making the total on arrival 336. The Sir W. F. Williams is a new ship, and would have completed the passage in much less time but for the prevalence of easterly winds experi- enced within 800 miles of this coast. She is an exceedingly roomy, well-ventilated ship, and above all particularly clean, thereby reflecting great credit upon her commander and surgeon superintendent (Dr. Hardy, late of the Schomberg), whose exertions for the comfort of all on board have been unceasing. The immigrants are principally of the labouring classes, and consist of 149 English, 145 Irish, and 46

Scotch.

The steamer Queen will be detained at Melbourne a day later than was expected to complete her painting. She will be here on Thursday, when we may expect the Marc Polo's mail, as several large ships were entering Port Phillip as the Blaok Swan

Launceston.-The steamer Tamar left at 4 a.m. yesterday with the barque Acastas in tow ; also the Titania steamer for Circular Head
