The White Star ship Ida arrived in Hobson's Bay yesterday. Captain Dunlop reports that on the 28th August, off the Island of St. Paul's, in lat. 42.11 S., Ion. 74.3 E., encountered a hurricane, which com-menced from N.E., and suddonly veered round to N.W., during which the ship plunged into the sea, and carried away her bowsprit, all topmasts, and top gallant-masts, with yards. A very heavy sea was running at the time. On the following day during the gale, a seaman named James Drever, native of Scot land, while engaged in clearing the wreck, fell over board and was drowned. The Ida was in company for 10 days with the iron ship Tornado, of the White Star Line, bound to New Zealand, from Liverpool. Parted company July 21, lat. 23.22 S, Ion. 32.43 W.

The Blackwall liner Roxburgh Castle anchored in Hobson's Bay about 2.30 p.m., yesterday, having made a remarkably good passage. She left Plymouth on the 10th of July, and had light and baffling winds throughout the passage. She has been detained by N.E. winds on this coast for several days. Cape

Otway was passed on the 28th inst. No sickness occurred during the passage, and the passengers are

all in good health.

The ship Thomas Ann Cole left the Sand Heads on the 6th of August. Captain Lowe reports that on the 27th and 28th of July a severe hurricane passed over Calcutta, causing considerable damage to the crops, and also to the shipping. One steamer sank at her anchors, and a great number of vessels sustained con-siderable damage. On the 28th of July, during a severe S.E. gale, she sprang her bowsprit, and on the 1st of September, one of the crew - a Lascar, fell

overboard from the martingale stays, and, although a boat was lowered immediately, he was drowned. An-other gale was experienced on the 17th inst., and since then light and variable winds.

The ship Queen of India arrived in Hobson's Bay early yesterday. She left Calcutta on the 24th July, wind at the time from N.W., fresh breeze, weather very threatening, barometer low, and showing ind-entions of falling. In compauy with several other vessels, she passed the Spit buoy. The breeze in-creased to a gale; could not distinguish the outer floating light on pilot brig. The gale increasing, was obliged to steer S.S.W., in order to secure an ofing. At 4 a.m. following day, lay to under mizen staysail. The gale continued through that and the next day. The vessel laboured heavily, and shipped great quantities of water from leeward, filling the forecastle and cabins. The crew were kept continually pumping. The caboose also was washed away, so that the native crew were unable to cook their victuals. Several of them were laid up in consequence. Owing to the dis-abled state of the crew and the weather, Captain Alexander was obliged to bring on his pilot (Mr. O. H. Bensley), to this port, as he did not consider himself justified to bear up for the Sand Heads in such a fear ful gale. Captain Alexander reports having sighted a large ship standing to the westward, with fore-top-mast, main and mizen top-gallant masts gone.

Tho manifests of tho Spark of the Ocean and Mar-

guerite will be published when they outor at the

Customs.

Puutks at Massowah.-Our thanks aro duo to a eui respondent atMassowah, who has furnished us with an account of somo pirates and slaven at that place. On the 12th of May our correspondent, a British sub-ject, with throe other Europeans, addressed to H.B.M.'s consular ngout at Massowah tho lettor which wo givo holow. With praiseworthy alacrity the agent had the pirates secured, and announced the fact during the night ; however, tbo rascals escaped, and, before making uti, coolly drank tho English consul's hnalth in» tho English dragoman's grog-shop. They thon throw overboard threo unfortunate slaves, and de-parted. A month aftor, the Lady Canning onterel the-port, and did not go away empty. Tue fc'oolool Salnm carno in from Hodolda, with tbr.e slaves on boaid, and ran into tlio Uon's mouth. On the 17tli it ssomed the steamer loft with her prize for Aden.

What tbo barquo was wa could not mako out, but tho steamer had boon sent into tbo Bed Sea to look for slavers." What sho wai, s now explained.
