ARRIVAL OP THE SHIP MONARCH FROM LONDON. The ship Monarch, 1,444 tons, Captain Macey, made the harbour yesterday inorumg, after an eventful passage of 150 days from London. Her arrival was anxiously expected by a number of citizens having friends on board, and by the numerous consignees of her large cargo, until the last mail steamer brought intelligence of, her whereabouts, together with some particulars of the unpleasaut circumstances under which the vessel was compelled to put into Rio Janeiro. This information was as welcome as her unexpected arrival yesterday. The last advices from Rio induced the belief that some months would have to elapse before we could expect her to put in an appearance at this port. Fortunately, however, her condition did not turn out feo bad as anticipated, and our harbour is accordingly graced with her presence. The Monarch is, in size and accommodation, one of the finest vessels we have had for some time, and very much resembles the ship Holmsdale, which left a few months ago with troops for England. She is one of the London river built vessels, launched in 1842, to the order of Wigram and Green, of Blackwall, and intended for the East India trade. She it frigate-built, and possesses immense carrying capa- • city. So much was her build admired that shortly after the launch she was honoured with a visit from royalty, and a bazaar in aid of a maritime charity held on board. Twenty-four years' service, however, have left her somewhat the worse for wear, and developed, it would seem, a leaky inclination in her hull. On her present voyage, the log informs us, she, left London on the 25th of February last, aad parted tug-boat off Margate on the following day, proceeding down the Channel to wardt the Isle of Wight with a strong westerly wind. Parted pilot on the Ist March, and set fore and main uppft topsails for the voyage. On the 3rd had I squally weather, which caused/ the vessel to roll heavily and take in. large quantities of water. Squalls and heavy weather continued for three days, during which the vessel rolled heavily. On the 6th the first symptoms of disorder amongst the crew originated. A quantity of cargo was found to have been broached, and five of the seamen known to be implicated in the offence. A quarrel also arose amongst the men, and one of them was severely injured xn a melee which followejl. The same day a stowaway reported himself, and was ordered to turn to work with the crew. On the 9th March the island of Madeira waB sighted, and shortly afterwards moderate N.JS. trad* winds were fallen in with, *nd continued throughout. On the 16th of March the third officer was disrate.! by the captain to an ordinary seaman, in consequence of his unfitness for the duties he had to discharge. Crossed the line on the 16th of March, in o*l7 N., and 24-55 W. On the 27th of March the crew were mustered, and the majority of them refused to proceed further on the voyage. They were mustered again on the 28th and 29tb, with the same result. On the 30th one of the seamen, name unknown, threw the coil of the fore brace down the aft companion, striking the captain on the arm whilst conversing with the, steward on duty. On the same day the crew were again mustered, but obstinately refused to continue the voyage. On the 31st of March, in 11* 38 S., at 5.30 p.m., H.M. s. Stromboli was spoken, and a boat from her came alongside, the vessel having been boveto. The officers from the Stromboli boarded the vessel, and heard the complaints of the ship's company. The crew urged the necessity of returning to England, or putting into the nearekti'porfc for repairs. The commander of the Stromboli also boarded the Monarch, and was appealed' to by the crew; but it was his opinion that "there was no necessity for abandoning the voyage ; at the saute time he recommended the captain to bear up for Rio, in order to have a proper examination of the vessel made, and

to obtain a second pump. The officeis of the Stiom boh lefb the Monarch at 7 p.m. the same day, when all sail was made by the vessel on ber course. Ihe compauy returned to their duty on the uudeistanding that the vesstl was to be taken t> llio. Shortly after, -complaints were again made that the ship was maldng*4fco much water ; and Captain Macey, taking everything iuto consideration, lesolved to bear up for Rio, as the log states, "for the benefit of all partieß concerned." On the 4th of April, a serious quarrel arose amongst the cuddy servants ; and the coal-hole bulkhead was found broken open, and a considerable quantity of cargo broached. On the same day exchanged signals with an English schooner, and passed an English baique steering to theuorthward. On the Bth of April, a heavy gale w«s experienaed from the south, in lat. 23 9 £„ long. 40 25 W., during which the ship made a considerable quantity of water, and sail had to be shortened. Contrary winds were experienced, and it wan with great difficulty that the captaiu could shape his course for llio. It was at ong time thought that it would be useless to attempt making that port, i but the crew were opposed to coming on to New Zealand, and would not allow the vessel to be steered for the Oape, where the captain wished to go, owing to the contrary winds. Ou the 10th of Apiil three vessels were in company, and in the evening the vessel was hauled to the south waid, and land sighted. The same night the vessel was brought to off Fort Sebastian, and on the 13th was taken in tow to the dischaiging ground-. On the 14th the ship's company went ashoie. The vessel at ■ this time was making one inch of water per hour, the pumps .having been kept going eveiy four hours throughout the passage. On the 16th the captain and carpenter of H.M.s. Megsera, which was lying at Rio, held a survey, and recommended that the vessel should be lightened forward, in order to exmmine her forefoot, aud stop the leak. On the same day, the second officer wasjput off duty. The seamen and second mate wished to be released from their engagement, alleging that the ship was unfit for the voyage, but in reality,- it is supposed, for the purpose of entering the Peruvian service. Disturbances were of frequent occurrence on board amongst the crew. Ou the 17th, an officer and a file of. marines went on board from H.M.s. Megsera, and remained until night, in order to suppress any mutiny that might arise. On the same day ten labourers were engaged to discharge the cargo, and lighten the vessel, in compliance with the directions of the captain of H.M. s. Megsera. A number of the crew were drunk on the 18th, and the second officer left the vessel. Two carpenters were engaged in stripping copper off the bows, and on the ISth, 19th, and 20th the labourers were employed discharging cargo. On the 21st, a court of inquiry was held before the Biitish consul respecting the conduct of the crew, aud the following seven seamen were sentenced to terms varying from one month's to six months' imprisonment : — Elliott, Barclay, Morgau, Shippick, Graves, Daniels, and Kerr. The vessel having been partly lecaulked, a new pump having been put on board, and other repairs made, the labourers commenced to re-ship the cargo on the 25th. On the following day the steward, cook, aud six seamen, who with others had left the vessel, returned. On the 30th several others came on beard again. The »towiug of the cargo having been completed, the vessel left K!o in tow of a steam-tug, and made sail for this port, with light winds and fine weather. On the 20th of May, fell in with a strong gale from the W.KW., in lat. 36*15 S., long. 30*40 W. The gale continued until the 23rd, when it moderated. . During the gale the ship rolled heavily, and took in quantities of water. On the 27th of May, sighted the island of Tristan d'Acunha, bearing E. by N., 20 miles to leeward. On the 30th of May, the crew were mustered, and informed by the captain that, if he found the coalhole bulkhead opened after the carpenter had made it fast, he would prosecute the whole of them on his arrival in Auckland. On the 4th of June, in lat. 42-26 S., long. 173 E., experienced a W.N.W. gale, which continued, w:th increasing violence, until the 7th, the ship rolling aud straining much. Ran down the easting in the parallel of 474 "• The gale was more moderate on the 9th and lUtb. On the 12th of June, passed several pieces of wreck, supposed to be spars, with rigging attached to them. This was in lat. 44*26 S., long. 47*20 E. On the 17th of June, the crew forced open the fore-scuttle hatch, and broke open the forehold, stealing ten bottles of brandy, and a quantity of hams. On the same day a hole was found cub in the passenger deck, near the forward bulkhead, through which spirits and other articles of the cargo had been taken. Two passengers, named Augustus and Edwin Clarke, were di3covtred to have made a passage to the hold by cutting the deck in their cabius, and plundered the cargo. On examining their boxes, and searchiug the cabin, a case of caudles, some bottles of brandy, boots, . sardines, wearing apparel, salad oil, and other portions of the cargo were found. The two men were made prisoners by being confined to a cabin. This was done in consequence of their threatening to set the ship on fire. Benjamin Makeham was also confined, as being accessory to the cutting of the deck and plundering of the cargo, upon the information of Edwin Clarke., On the 19th "June the piisoners were asked to take an airing on deck, which they refused to do. Fuither discoveries of abstracted cargo were made. On the 20fch the prisoners came on deck, one at a time. The vessel was off the coast of Tasmania on the 3rd of July, but did not sight it. On the sth a strong gale was encountered, and on the 14th, in 38 1 S., 157 "1-E., hud a strong easteily gale, duiing which the vessel rolled and pitched heavily. Strong variable winds, accompanied by heavy cross seas, were experienced for a week. The iron bar* of head-rails were carried "away on the port side, owing to the severity of ftie weather. On the 17th had a strong breeze, aud passing squalls, which continued uutil the Three Kiugs were sighted at daylight on Fiiday, the 20th, bearing east four miles distant. On Saturday and Sunday had aN. E. gale, which afterwards veered round to all points of tho compass. Was off Cape Brett at 9 o'clock on Monday morning, with vaiiable winds, and made the Poor Knights on Weduesday, at noon • arriving in harbour yesterday morning. The above nairatiye of events on board is gleaned from the ship's official log. From another source we are furnished with a few additional items of information concerning the chapter of misfortunes experienced on board. Considerable uneasiness existed amongst the passengers and crew, owing to the quantity of water made daily, and shortly before reaching the equator the ship's company refused to work the vessel longer unless the captain "would promise to put into some South American part to repair ship. The meu were mustered by the captain, after being boarded by officers of H.M. s. Stromboli, aud consented to work the vessel on these conditions. The officers of the Stromboli h»d recommended Captain Macey to put into Rio for survey, and the men persistently refused to proceed unless the captain complied with this recommendation. The quart els arose from the fact that, instead of making for Bio, the captain was directing his course to the Cape of Good Hope ; and under these circumstances the crew expressed their intention of mutiny, to take charge of the ship. Th«» c&ptain was kept in his cabin for a day ; and, a storm coming on, a deputation from the saloon, second cabin, and steerage passengers waited upon him, and urged the necessity of putting into Rio, to avoid consequences the most disastrous to al l , and secure the safety of the vessel. Captain Macey maintained command of of the vessel by giving his orders through the chief officer, and alleged that he was unable to make lUo owing to the steady contrary winds with which he had to contend. He was willing, he said, to do so, if the wind would permit, but contrary winds continuing he was desirous of to the Oape, where he could obtain a supply pi fresh water, and several things required by the vessel. The mutinous spirit of the crew was only inflamed by auy deviation from the course to Rio, and the conduct of several was very riotous. The captain therefore bore up for Rio, and arrived there on the 13th of April, 42 days out from London . The great complaint amongst the passengers was that the ship had left London in an unfit-state for sea, and with very iaferior accommodation for her passeugers. Mr. Nelson, the second officer of the ship, left her at Rio, and Mr. Williams, a very able and efficient officer, was engaged to supply his place. To Mr. Williams the passengers feel themselves much indebted for the care aud skill he exhibited in the discharge of his duty. Twelve of the ship's crew also deserted at Rio, and seven were tried for disobedience of lawful commands during the passage, and coirvicted to various terms, of imprisonment, ranging from one month to six months each. The vessel leaked from the time of leaving London until its arrival. At Rio, some 60 tons of general cargo were disposed of by the captain, in order to lighten the ship. The cargo sold was consigned to Auckland merchants, and comprised provisions, ale, stout, ironmongery, &c. A survey of the vessel was held by Captains Jones and Levy, when the leak w»3 discovered in the stew, and ordered to be repaired. The vessel remained at Rio five weeks, during which cargo was unshipped, and she was- raised forward to facilitate the repairs. The forward pump was-repaired, but I got out of order again so iooa afterwards that

l', \\.isne\cr used. After leaving Itio a fresh leak broke out, but was re pan cd. The Monatch, upon the whole, expeiienced a fine passage, and 1 ad it not been foi the detention caused by putting iuto llio would, no doubt, have made a very good passage. She comes into harbour in a healthy, cleanly condition, in medical chaige of Dr. Hyding. There have been two deaths during the passage. On the 16th June, a second-class passenger, named Benjamin Pegler, aged 18 years, died of consumption, having been sick from the timeof embarking On the 3rd of June, the infant son*<of Mr. B. Tiiberg, also expired. There has also been one birth, during the passage. Three steerage passengers, named Edwin and Augustus Clarke and Benjamin Makeham, were handed over to the custody of the water-police on a. charge of broaching cargo during the voyage, shortly after the vessel dropped anchor. A manifest of the vessel's cargo will be found in our imports columns.

About 8 am. ou Thursday, Charlotte Head bore W. aud by N. about eight miles distant, and at this time the captain tried to weather the Seal Rocks, but it was useless, as the sea was too heavy, and the wind too strong to set jany]canvas. In order to save life the vessel was beached in Seal Hock Bay at about 9.30 a.m. on Thursday ; as the vessel was eutering the Bay a sea struck her on the stem, which nearly caused her to settle down, wishing the cautain away from the helm and dashing him with such force against the companion as to break several of his ribs.
