SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNEsDAY.
The European and Australian Company's steamier
Oneida, which caused such anxiety for her it ft
some months since, has arrived, here. She 417,;
Sydney on the sth of May last, and has been 1."
days on her passage. She came round Cape .ffertsrie'
and has experienced the most fearful weather ; she
sailed principally during the voyage, and steaur
during calms.
The Oneida has brought home 36 paisengers art
150 bales of wool. She called at St. Helena and.,ai,
St. Vincent. She spoke the James Baines, vnr,
troops for India, about eight days since, off
Western islands.
When the Oneida broke down in the India
Ocean, on her wayt 9 Suez, she was goingll knots',
hour. She bad passed Cape Lewin two days before
her time, and would have made a splendid vei,ag,,
to Suez but for the mishap by which her sole PI%
was broken in two places, and a new sole pla
could not be made for her in Australia. There °ai
be no doubt that when she is put in proper rePLr
she will be a splendid mail steamer. Capt. 11P:3a
her commander, is in good health, but has seorot
much from the anxiety he has undergone ou accotl.s
of the misfortunes which have happened to
ship.
