 The British bark Powys Castle was to have sailed for London with a cargo of lumber last Tuesday, but she did not. sail until last night. The captain was afraid of the Spaniards and got a certificate to the effect that his cargo was owned by British shippers.

 The whaling bark Alice Knowles. which left here last November for the Okhotsk Sea. has been spoken in latitude 42.15 north. longitude 14706 east, with twenty barrels of sperm oil. On the 4th ist., when three days out from Yokohama, the steamer Aisa Craig ran across her and gave Captain Ogden his position. The master of the whaler said that he had not spoken a vessel for several months, and that he was completely lost. In that event he must have lost either his sextant or chronometer, or else he is a very poor navigator.
