One after the other, between 1 and 3 p.m. on Wednesday, two ships were signaled outside Tiri Tiri Maitangi (sic). These were at once set down to be the long looked for shipsBank of EnglandandCarnaticbut, in consequence of the strong southerly breeze then blowing, both vessels were detained outside the North Head until the following morning.

At 5 a.m. theBank of England, Capt MAXTON, made her appearance round the North Head. The water was as smooth as grass and with scarcely an air stirring, the ship drifted slowly to her anchorage, which she fetched about 7 a.m. TheBank of Englandsailed from Gravesend on the 6th September and from the Downs on the following day, crossing the equator in 31 degrees W on the thirty-first day. She had a very fair run to Van Diemnen’s Land, passing without sighting, to the Southward of that island and from which her passage has occupied a period of 18 days. …….. On Christmas Day, at 2 a.m., sighted the Three Kings, experiencing light northerly and north-easterly winds on the coast. A very melancholy accident occurred in 1 degree N. lat., 30 degrees W. longitude. The ship was then going about 7 knots through the water, when William Hawkins, a miner and native of Falmouth, unhappily fell overboard. The ship was immediately hove all aback and, as the poor fellow was swimming light, and strong, there was every prospect of saving him. All at once he gave a piercing shriek and disappeared, having been taken, as is supposed, by a shark. Hawkins had a wife and child on board; the child died about a month since. TheBank of Englandbrings 76 passengers, among whom we have to welcome the return of our old townsman Mr J I Montefiore. She has a general cargo of merchandise. The next ship of Messrs Willis’ line will be theAshmore.

Havinganchored theBank of England, Mr Burgess the Pilot, returnedforthwith to the North Head, to bring theCarnatic, CaptSmith, into harbour. The tide by this time was falling but, as a smartSW breeze had sprung up, the ship overran the tide and was worked cleverlyto her anchorage. TheCarnaticsailed from Gravesend onthe 3rd , the Downs on the 4th and took her finaldeparture from the Lizard on the 6th of September. Her passagethroughout was a very find, although in consequence of many calms andlights winds, a protracted one. She crossed the Equator on the twenty-ninthday from the Lizard – made Cape Northumberland on the Australian coast, on the 5th and entered Bass’s Straits on the 10th instant, sighting the Three Kings on Christmas Day at noon. During thelast three weeks she experienced a prevalence of north-east and easterlywinds. TheCarnaticbrings about 50 passengers in all, amongwhom arte Lt Col Mould, RE, and six daughters. The detachment of the RoyalArtillery, burnt out of thePolar Star, consisting of onesergeant, one corporal and twenty-seven gunners, has also arrived in thisvessel which brings two tons of gunpowder, a quantity of shot, shellsand other Government stores. There were two deaths during the passage;the first on the 14th November was that of Mary Clare, an infantof fifteen months old, from inflammation of the brain. The other on the22nd December was Mary Mellsop, eleven years of age, of consumption.…… Several ships were spoken including the American shipGreyhoundfrom Melbourne to Valparaiso. Capt Smith sent a boat on board theGreyhound, from the Captain of which he received a Geelong paper containing the detailsof the capture of Sebastopol, which paper has since been most kindly placedat our disposal by Capt Smith.
