"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,
THE Derwent, barque, from London, arrived at

desired to be reported, GEELONG ADVERTISER.

ON the arrival at the Heads yesterday of the brig

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 quarter
boats, 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.
