THR City of Hobart arrived yesterday after- j

noon from Melbourne after an average passage, i .'having left on Wednesday. She bungs an addition | »>to our pnnu'a'ion of between seventy and eighty j > souls, who lately arrived at Melbourne by the ! - James Baines from Liverpool, having come out

undrr Hie bounty regulations.

THE San Francisco, barque, arrived yesterday, has had a protracted passage of 118 days from Hamburg, having left that port on the 7th July. She brings in all 112 German immigrants, who have come out under the bounty regulations, 49 only of them are, however, intended for Hobart Town, . the reainder, with the greater portion of her - cargo, having"been shipped for Sydney The health ??of the passengers, with a few exceptions bas been, good, one death only having occurred throughout, whil t there have been three births. No vessels con. vnected with the colonies were spoken by the San 'Francisco.

TAMAR TUG-BOAT.

'Tmscnfft, after considerable delay,'bas at length ?reached her final destination She is costly but powerful,*and although the engines are after a somewhat venerable patters, and the-machinery not of the most modern fashion, all is new.-strong, and serviceable. We presume the 'boat-is a small instilment to the port of Launceston, wl ich bas yielded so much revenoe, and received so little aid in return. To counteract the disadvantage of the long river, a steam-tug is indispensable, if trade is to prosper. It seems some good natured soul, who must exist far outside commercial circles, volunteered the statement that the people of this town did not want the tog that bad been ordered -expressly for them. Now there has never been a difference of opinion on this subject, and mercan. tile men think that if such a boat weie run at a loss, the expenditure within fair bounds would be highly judHoua It is to be regretted that a marine boird does not exisl to take the entire management of the harbour into i's own hanris. ID ibe mean time the tug will be placed in charge of a competent pilot, and much will depend on -the manner in which she is managed, whether the full advantage of sneb an auxiliary is realised or Bot. One of tbe first objects will doubtless be to ascertain the quanti y of fuel consumed per 'hour, and the »mount of wages, and other current .exi enses. When the fixed monthly disbursement and the consumption of roal per tip are known, it will then be easy to fix a scale of cliBrg»» for towing. _ Accurate accounts should be kept for ano her important purpo-e : that the public may see monthly the difference between the expenditure and receipts, so that there may be no rerkless

'waste of means.-LiUKcenTOK EXAMINER.

, CAPTAIN ANLY, of the schooner Nora, from

Valparaiso 4th August, states that violent northern winds were felt for some time after leaving that port; he has also had very bad weather on this «out The smart appearance of his vessel, how-ever, reflects the highest credit, as she looks more Jika an outward bound craft thsn one returned from

a long voyage. The English ship Horsburg, from Coauimbo, with a valuable cargo of ores for Eng-in«), was driven ashore at Valparaiso, in a heavy gale,' and went to pieces. The Southern Cross had abo lest ah tarbor and a large quantity of chain.
