BRISTOL, September 15.

The late heavy gales have caused considerable injury
to the shipping on the western coast ; much property has
been lost. The following notice was posted in the Com-
mercial Rooms this morning:
" Bideford, Sept. 12.
" Sir,—l am sorry to acquaint you that during a heavy gale,
late last night or early this morning, the bull of a large brig, coal
laden, was washed on shore, near Braunston Burrows, and is gone
to pieces ; very little of her materials has been saved. The stern
of a boat has been picked up, marked on the outside, " Hawke, of
Plymouth," and inside, " William Tapscott," which is supposed
to belong to a vessel, the crew of which it is feared are drowned,
one body having been picked up.
" The sloop Ceres, of Padatow, coal-laden, and bound from
Newport to Padatow, was also driven on shore in the Northern
Burrows, and is goose to pieces. The whole of the crew are saved.
" Also the ship Daniel, of Bristol, Thomas Williams, master,
bound from Bristol to Cork, with a general cargo, is on shore on
the Northern Burrows; she brought up to an anchor, but un-
fortunately struck at low water, and filled. The master, crew,
and passengers, eleven in number (including one female), were
saved in the life-boat by great 'moons and risk of life.
" 1 remain, Sir, your obedient servant,

,* JOHN BUkNAILD."

Sydney Papers, New South Wales, have been received to the

From the Sydney Paper of the 3d of May.
GOVERNMENT ORDRII.

Colonial Secretary Office, May 1, 1129.
His Excellency the Governor is pleased to direct the publication
of the following report from Captain Sturt, 39th Regiment, dated
Wellington Valley, the 16th instant. It appears that subsequent
to Captain Stun's former report, dated 4th of March last, the tripe.
&don had been employed In tracing the course of the river Castle.
reagh, which was found to join the river discovered on the gd Feb.
about 100 miles to the northward of Mount Harris, and in ewer.
tatting the nature of the course In that quarter, the expedition hav-
ing thus accomplished the object for which it was employed, by
ascertaining the terminatios of the river Macquarie and Castle-
reagh, and the nature and character of the surrounding country ;
and having also discovered a river of some magnitude, which it is
probable, when its course shall have been more fully deter-
mined, will be found to be of importance to the colony. The
Governor, though he regrets that the country which has bees
explored, does not bold out a prospect of the advantageous ex-
tendon of the colony in that direction, considers it satisfactorily
that the character of the country has been ascertained. by which
mews a question which has ezdted so much interest has been put
at rest. His Excellency the Governor having laid before the
Executive Compel, Captain Stun, several reports, has
much iodised= in thus publicly expressing the sense
which his Excellency entertains of the judicious manner in which
be appears to have conducted the expedition, and the seal sod per-
severance which, under circumstances of no ordinary difficulty, he
elected in the most satisfactory manner the object of his instruc.
dons. (Signed) Aux. MAC Liar.
