The Francis from Sydney, has had a long and severe passage of 21 days, during which she has been compelled to put into Twofold Bay four times. The captain reports, that the barque

Emu of Hobart Town, was compelled to put into Twofold Bay on the 18th., she was bound to Melbourne from Valparaiso, 75 days out.

The Caroline Middleton, fiom Liverpool, with immigrants has made an excellent passage ot 88 days. Til« weather to Tristan d'Acunha was fine, bat the winds were light; rough weather however set in shortly after leaving the island, and up to the time of her coming into port yes-day, she has had nothing but hard gales and high sens to contend with. On the 21st of July, the ship Prince of Rome was spoken with by the captain, she was then 84 days from Maulmain bound to London, in lat. 13 21 N..Long. 25 40W.

On the 24th July the Caroline Middleton was boarded by the barque Ascendant 90 days out from Bombay bound to London, she received a supply of provisions, having run short, from Captain Allcock. She was thcn in lat 2947 N, long. 24 23 W. On the 27th July exchanged signals with the ship Victoria, bound to Mel bourne from London, lat. 6*24 N, tong, l8 24 W. The heaviest gale throughout the passage was experienced on the l5th Sept. from W S.W. and running to the north, when the maintop sail and foresail were split. The health oí the immi-grants throughout the voyage as been tolerable, there were three births and 11 deaths on board. The death« were principally children, the com-plaint being scarlet fever. The whole of the pa sengers speak in the highest terms of both the captain and the surgeon, who we believe have exerted themselves to the utmost for the comfort and cleanliness of all on board. We may add that we have never, at any time, seen a vessel with passenger«, come into this port, so clean

and well ventilated.
