Messrs Patrick, Henderson, and Co.’s ship City of Dunedin, under the command of Captain Ross, sailed up the harbor yesterday, at twelve o’clock. The tug Geelong, hearing that she was close at hand, proceeded down to her at 2 a.m. in the morning, but could see nothing of her. She went down again at 10 a m., but as there was a strong breeze blowing up the harbor, her services were declined. The City of Dunedin brought up in charge of Pilot Kelly, was moored astern of the Christian M‘Ausland, and comes into Port beautifully clean, and of her passage we learn that she left the Clyde on the 22nd of September, and took her final departure from the Tuskar on the 23th ; had the winds from the west for two or three days, when she was favored by a north wind, which took her out of the Channel; then had light north and north-west winds along the coast of Portugal; struck the north-east trades in longitude 26deg. 54min. north, 19deg. 54min. west; carried the winds pretty favorable till she got in lOdeg. north, where they were lost; the Equator was crossed ou the 19th October, and then had light west winds and calms till falling in with the south-east trades, which carried her to 27dcg. south ; a continuation of light winds aud baffling weather followed until the 11th November, when a breeze sprang up from the north, carrying her as far as 29deg. 39min. south, 17deg. 53min. east; the meridian of the Capo of Good Hope was passed on the 17th November, and three days later the winds fell away again, with little alteration until December 2nd, when she encountered a heavy sale from the north-west, with a terrific sea, which lasted for twelve hours, and had to lay the ship to ; during the gale several sails were blown away, but with this exception no damage was done ; the Snares were made on Thursday, 2Gth December, and had light airs and calm along the coast; Otago Heads were made on Sunday night. One death occurred during the voyage—a steerage passenger, by the name of John Robertson, died on the 2nd of December, The City of Dunedin brings two splendid Clydesdale horses-a 2-ycar-old (Lord Lorne), aud a 3-year-old, called Sir Walter Scott, These two horses have arrived in beautiful order, not a, hair being hurt. They belong to Mr Walls, of •Canterbury. Thei* boxes are 7 feet broad, J feet long, and 8 fait high, with a door at each end. The horses vjere taken for a walk on deck every day. Persons bringing out horses would do well to inspect the boxes on board.
