NEWS BY THE "ZEPHYR."--The whaler Zephyr.
barque, 237 tons, left London in June 1837, and
was successful in her fishing up to the 11th of
August last, when the captain, John Joseph Abbot,
lost his life by the following accident. The boats
had been out to the eastward of Timor Straits, and
secured some fish ; in cutting-in, the captain was
caught and jammed against the main-topsail-sheet-
bits, by the blubber, which separated from the carcase
He was taken below and lived only a very
short time; he was buried four days afterwards on
Johnson's Island. The first oficer, Mr, Thomas
Lowes, then assumed the command, but the men
refused to sail with him. Accordingly, the vessel
was taken Into Amboyna where Mr. Lowes left
her (18th September), and procreded to Batavia to
take his passage to England. The second officer,
following the advice of Captain Brooks-who was at
Amboyna, determined on bringing the ship to
Sydney, and she arrived here yesterday morning,
having been navilgated by an apprentice named James
Hoskins Knight, who went to sea in her for the
first time. She left Amboyna eight weeks ago, and
met with no accident until Sunday last,
when her larboard quarter-boat was washed away.
She has on board 780 barrels of sperm oil. Owner,
Mr. William Ward, London--Agent Mr. F. Mitchell
of Sydney.
Thie seamen 'of this ship have refused to sign
articles under another master, and Insist on the
ship being at once discharged and paid off. They
have refused to do any work on board except to
discharge the cargo. She is rather leaky, and is to
be caulked throughout. Great credit is due to the
boy Knight. and as lie intends to return to England
in the vcs-el, there is no doubt lie rill meet with his
reward. Two nlen died on their passage from Timor,
and from their appearance after death, their ship
mates suppose them to have been poisoned by the
natives.
The l ednag left Pagliao,South Amerlea, on the
31st (October. She brings no news. except that the
Chllians in Puglio still hold out against the siege of
the Peruvians; and are enabled to do so from the
discord which prevails amaongat thie latter, five or
six fictions hatvingsprung np amongst them. An
archy everywhere prevailed, and buainess of every
description was stopped. The dAedmwa, Ihas been
about 10 months fruom Sydley. She brings back
nothing.
There is a vessel now in port which was capsized
at sea, and, being loaded with timber, remained in
that position upwards of two years. Of course when
recovered, she was somewhat the worse for her
peculiar method of navigating the broad Atlantic,
but as she has been thoroughly repaired, she is cun
sidered perfectly sea-worthy.
THE schooner Lucy ANN.-This snug craft,
the property of Mr. William Dalton, returned to
port on Wednesday evening last from a trip to the
MacLeay River, with a cargo of cedar and maize,
making an absence from Sydney of twenty-one days.
The maize crop is abundant in that quarter. She
brings up one of the crew of the schooner 'Harriet'
wrecked within the Bar of the Macleay during the
last month. The crew landed in safety from the
wreck, but had not been on shore long when the
blacks compelled them to give up the small portion
of provisions saved from the wreck. The Lucy Ann
sails for Port Maacquarie on Monday evening.
