THE MEDITERRANEAN.

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Colombo, Captain J. S. Field, arrived at
Southampton this morning about 9 o'clock, with
the heavy portion of the East India and China
mails, in charge of Lieutenant Bolton, R.N., and
dates from Alexandria to Dec. 7, Malta 10, and
Gibraltar 15.

The American barque Rodmond, 12) days from
Callao, with guano, for Genoa, put into Gibraltar
on the 10th inst. for a supply of water. From lat.
40 deg. south to Gibraltar the Rodmond hardly
experienced rain enough to fill a barrel with -water
during the whole voyage, and she ran through
both tropics without having had at any one time a
shower that lasted 15 minutes; this extraordinary
circumstance compelled her to put in for a supply
of water.

The British steamer Vasco de Gama, which ar-
rived at Gibraltar on the morning of the 13th from
the Clyde and Lisbon, experienced, off Cape Finis-
terre, on the 4th inst., a terrific gale of wind from
the S.W., which obliged her to lie to for 36 hours;
she saw the Calpe steamer of the Burlings on the
same day. From Lisbon to Gibra!tar the Vasco
de Gallia, had very fine weather. At Lisbon, where
the weather was very bad, it was reported that the
steamer Victor Emmanuel, bound to the Tagus,
had to run for the port of Vigo for shelter.
The British schooner Marina, bound from Malaga
to Liverpool, returned on the 12th instant from
off Cape St. Vincent to Gibraltar Bay in a leaky
state, having encountered a severe gale.
The Spanish screw steamer Capricho, which lent
Gibraltar on the night of the 6th instant, returned
at noon on the 11th from off Saffi, where she could
not anchor on account of the high wind and heavy
urf prevailing there at that time.
On the morning of the 14th the American ship
Sea Queen, which left Gibraltar on the 2d, bound
to New York, bore up from about 500 miles to the
westward of Cape Spartel in consequence of having
experienced a tremendous gale from W.S.W., in
which she sprang her main and fore masts, lost
spars, yards, and several sails, and is now in a leaky
state.

Her Majesty's steamer Oberon, Commander
Jackson, also arrived at Gibraltar on the 14th inst.,
in 15 days from Malta and three from Mahon. The
Oberon encountered a gale from the LW., with a
very heavy sea, that lasted from noon on the 30th
ult. until midnight on the 3d inst. About 4 o'clock
on the morning of the 2d, while off Galitar, she
had her rudder and boats carried away, and was
obliged to put into Mahon, where she had a tem-
porary rudder fixed to enable her to resume the
voyage. The Oberon saw a Norwegian brig off
Galatz, with mainmast sprung, and yards, &c.,
carried away.
Her Majesty's steamer Curlew, and the steam-
tug Red Pole, left Gibraltar on the morning of
the 9th in search of the Candia steamer, whose non-
appearance had given rise to serious apprehensions
for her safety, and neither of the vessels had re•
turned when our letters left.

On the morning of tke 10th a British brig, laden
with codfish, from Terranova for the Mediterranean,
went ashore on the coast of Conil, near Cadiz;
crew saved.
