MISCELLANEOUS SHIPPING.

The St. Vincent, after making a very fair passage, put in an appearance on Thursday evening, when she was seen coming up the Gulf, but was not at first recognized. On boarding her, the fine ship was discovered to be but little changed ; but the complement of officers, on the contrary, is completely altered. Lieutenant Bissett, R.N.R., has superseded the old master, Captain Louttit, who has sought occupation in the Melbourne trade. The passengers speak in favourable terms of the new commander, and a testimonial in another column will show how highly his urbane conduct is appreciated. The vessel started from London on August 9, and after an interval of southwest winds reached Plymouth, where she embarked passengers, and on the 16th, at 9 p.m., she took final departure. Thence to Madeira was marked by light west and south-west winds, and that island was passed on August 28. From there to lat. 16 N. light north north-east winds continued, and afterwards merged into the trades, which were of very transient character, and 6° north of the line were entirely lost. The southeast trades were but moderate, and the Line was crossed on September 18, in 23° 87' W. The meridian of the Cape was passed on October 14, in 40° 37', and some very good days runs were occasionally made, one in particular being considerably over 300 miles. The Southern Ocean was crossed with very fine weather ; indeed throughout the entire voyage the topsails have never been reefed. The ship came to anchor in the roads, and will remain there for a day or two until the steam tug is disengaged.

TO LIEUTENANT BISSET, R.N.R., Commander Ship St. Vincent. Dear Sir— At the conclusion of this very pleasant and agreeable voyage from England we feel that we cannot separate without expressing our sense of your uniformly kind and gentle manly behavior to us all. Sea voyages are all more or less tedious, but you have reduced it to a minimum, taking into account the light and baffling winds in the earlier part of it. No matter how glad we will be to tread dry land again, we will part from you with regret. We would also bear witness to the kindness and courtesy of your Officers, who exerted themselves in every way to enlivens, and make the passage pleasant. We wish you many more prosperous voyages, that you may have good news from home when you get to Adelaide, a quick passage home to Old England ; and we hope that when you do arrive you will find your dear wife and all friends well and happy. Believe us to be, Sir, Your sincere well-wishers, Geo. S. Fowler Robert Riddell, M.D. C.H.M Janet Fowler Aimee Cecile Riddell Richard E. Fry   Sarah Elizabeth Fry Arthur Morgan Off Port Adelaide, November 6 1873
