She is still under the command of Captain Braithwalte. The Rev. J. G, Paton and family were among her passengere. The barque Ann arrived at Baltimore m ballast from London on May 18, after a most eventful voyage. One of the principal incidents, says a Baltimore paper, is entered upon the captain’s logbook as follows :-February 28, 3 p.m., latitude 42dcg 3lmin N., loncitude 35deg W. ; hard gale blowing, and ship running under lower foretopsail and mainsail; sighted a large whale over bows. The fii-h bore down on ue, and struck the ship on the port side of the stern, and knocked the forepost into match 8 and kindling wood. Sounded pumps, but no leak. Whale went off leaving a track of blood behind.” Captain M'Phail states that he was surprised at the whale dashing right into a large vessel m mid-ocean. He says that when he first saw the fish she was rolling and spouting water 15ft high. Ho hadnot then any idea she would charge bis vessel, but soon discovered that the whale meant business. As the wha.o came on he luffed a little to prevent it from striking the side of the vessel and ripping a plank c ff. It dashed by and just gave one slap with its tail that fairly knocked the cut-water of the boat eff from the llth-inch mark to tbs keel. He thinks that the whale was stunned and hurt. [We taka leave to think that this is a Yankee yarn; at all events it is too much for us to swallow.J Shipping Telegrams. Auckland, August 26.-3.30 p.m , Arawata, for the South.
