"WE understand that as soon as the Duncan Hoyle (lately purchased by the Eastern Coast Company, at Melbourne) arrives here, and the Mimosa tin again resume her trips to Sorell, the mill will be forwarded by her both to South Arm and Sorell, An arrangement has already been entered into with the postmaster for this purpose.

THE Mimosa, returned from the East Coast early yesterday morning after an absence of just a week, and brings as cargo about 1500 bush grain, 30 bales wool, 8 calves, 10 bdls sheep skins, 25 hides, and a quantity of new potatoes and sundries. Capt Rae, with his usual courtesy, furnished our reporter with the following In consequence of strong gales, from the north west, and a high cross sea and heavy storm of hail, the Mimosa was compelled to anchor at North Beach, Schouten Passage, on Saturday last, where she remained until Sunday morning, when she got under weigh to go on to Schouten Island to coal, but in consequence of the continuous gale was compelled to return and remain until the

following Monday morning. On Sunday afternoon I

the whaling schooner Elizabeth Jane arrived in the Schouten Passage, having been driven up by the

gale from Port Davey. She had lost half a whale. On Monday the Freak, from Adelaide. bore up for the passage, leaky ; the ballast had shifted, and pumps were choked, and the crew obliged to bail her out with buckets to keep her afloat. She had live sheep on board, would take in some firewood, and proceed to Hobart Town. On Wednesday morning arrived at Falmouth, and left the same afternoon. Saw the brig Retriever off Cape Lodge Throughout the whole passage down the coast the strong gales have prevailed from the S.W. We have previously had to speak of the doings of this smart little vessel on the coast, and we are assured by Capt. Rae that all we have said in her favor has, on this occasion, been fully maintained, she having behaved most admirably. Another proof of the abundance of whales on the coast this season is that two were passed on Thursday by the steamer off Cape Saville. The Mimosa leaves again for the Eastern Coast on Tuesday evening next

CAPT BENTLEY, of the City of Hobart, arrived yesterday, reports seeing about forty miles outside the Port Philip heads, a large clipper vessel, which he supposes to have been the Lightning. The Surf and Pilot schooners were lying under Swan Island when the City passed,

ON the arrival at the Heads yesterday of the brig Grecian Queen, the master reported that he saw the hull of a large vessel totally dismasted in lat 40.10 south, Ion. 143.20 east We understand that Capt Matthews (Lloyd's surveyor), left last evening with

a steamer to render her assistance. AGE, NOV. 13.

THE Queen of the Seas, under the command of Capt Gardiner brings news down to the 12th of August The A. appears to have been only two nawspapenWHoard, and these were delivered to the medical officer at the Heads, so that we are not in a position to give further news at present than that which appeared, per the Electric Telegraph. Captain Gardiner reports the wind of Friday night as reaching a perfect cyclone. He lost his quarterboats, spars, hen-coops, sails and suffered other damage. The vessel is very deep, and brings 2197 tons of general cargo.

H.M.S. Fantome left the bay yesterday on a cruise in search of the dismasted ship, reported yesterday as being off King's Island. Capt Matthews, Lloyd's agent, has gone down in the steamer Black Eagle to endeavour to find the vessel, but he was unable to get through the Heads yesterday.
