THE AUSTRALIAN.—The Australian royal mail steam.
ship Australian again put back to Plymouth, disabled, on
Monday, after having been as far as 200 miles west of the
Eddystone. Before starting, on Thursday, she performed
a trial trip to the satisfaction of the Admiralty agent; but
the next day, when on her voyage, it was found the boilers
would not feed. The pipes and valves were then dis-
covered to be choked, and a leakage was found in the
bilges, under the engine-room. The engine-room rapidly
filled with water, and the whole of the passengers had to
work at the pumps to keep the ship from sinking. She
was put about at 11 25, a.m., on Saturday. At 12 45,
p.m., the engines were entirely stopped, and she remained
several hours in the Bay of Biscay in a dead calm, to the
great consternation of all on board. Her engines could
not be worked, there was no wind to move her, and the
leakage was increasing. On Sunday a smart breeze from
the northwest sprung up most providentially, and enabled
the vessel to return to England. On her anchoring in
the Sound the passengers, among whom were several who
started with the Melbourne, gathered aft, and passed reso-
lutions condemning the ship, and complaining is the
strongest terms of the conduct of the company.
