The Potentate, Captain Phillips, on the 31 st August, spoke the steamer Mimosa, Captain Thom, from Clyde, to Hobart Town, Int. 3.52 N., and 1ong. 20.7 W., 30 days out.-Launceston Ex-

aminer.

The Antipodes, so anxiously looked for from London, arrived yesterday morning after a pas-sage of 102 days from Gravesend, and 97 days from Portland Bell. Amongst her cabin passen-gers she brings the Police Magistrate, his lady, and children. Captain McPherson with his accustomed courtesy, informed our shipping reporter that the voyage throughout had been a very fine one, if anything rather too fine, having experienced nothing but calms and light winds throughout. He reports speaking the Pacific whaler, on the night of Tuesday, off the coast. No vessels, worthy of notice, were spoken by

him at sea.

The Duchess of Northumberland, barque, which arrived yesterday from Plymouth, brings, in all, 255 souls, viz., 103 single girls, 14 single men 40 married couples, 52 boys and girls, under 14 years, and 8 children under 1 year. The immi-grants, with the exception of three English girls, are Irish, and are a healthy looking superior class, especially the single females. There were two deaths during the passage, and two births. The Duchess of Northumberland, although her passage has been long, has done as well as the generality of vessels this season, especially as she has had to contend with strong easterly gales for the last 13 days. Only one vessel, the Emily, bound to Rio Janeiro from Hamburg, was spoken by the Northumberland.

The Mimosa, paddle-steamer, so anxiously looked for by the Eastern Coast Steam Company, anchored in the Bay yesterday, having been I30 days at sea. She is spoken of by all on board

as being very substantially built, and an excel-lent sea-boat. She has been built at Renfrew by Messrs. Hobby and Co. ; her keel is 140 feet long, but overall she is 150 feet; her width of beam is 17 1/2 feet and she is 8 feet deep in the hold. She is fitted with a pair of trunk engines, of 35 horse-power each, direct action. We may add that this is the first pair of engines of the kind ever turned out of the Clyde. Previous to her departure from Glasgow she made two trial trips, and on each answered well, 12 knots having been got out of her ; but we are informed, by Mr. Thomson, engineer, under whose immediate eye she has been built, that 10 knots is her average speed.' Her saloon, which is tastefully decorated, is fitted with twenty-four sleeping berths. In her hold, which is divided into five water-tight compartments, she is capable of carrying 50 tons of cargo, and, when laden, draws about five feet of water. The Captain, Mr. Thom, reports speaking the Fortitude, which arrived at Laun-ceston, last week, and the Fair City of Perth, schooner, from Perth, bound to Melbourne.
