Tho German brig Austrasa, from Hamburg, made her appearance iff Taiaroa Heads yesterday morning, and was tendered by the tug Plucky, which brought her across the bar at 10.80 am. She anohored off Carey Bay at 11.30 a m. until this morning, when she was towed up to Dunedin in readiness to discharge. The Auntiroi is a handsome iron biig of 290 tons register, and was built at Amsterdam by Mr H. W. Worning, who owned her. After sailing for sonce time under tho flag of the Netherlands she was sold to Messrs E. Tobias, of Brcck on the Weser, and now floats the German flag She brines a valuable cargo of general merchandise (Inclusive of a little deadweight), and has made the passago from port to port in 116 days, and from land to land in 99 days-not bad work when we consider that Sho was 10 days cut before ehe clewed the English Channel. Had light trades both from N.E. toS.E., and met very heavy weather aoroes the Southern Ocean ; indeed we regret to record tho loss of an ordinary seam <n named E'nest Slimbpr, off the pitch of tho Capo of Good Hope on September 16, who, while engaged in loivoring the fore upper topsail, lost his hold and .fell into tho sea. This happened at 8 30 a.m., and Captain Hold at once hove tho vessel to, having previously thrown a life-buoy and the end of a rope to the unfortunate young fellow, who nearly succeeded in oUchiog them, but nvcntualy sank, owing to the weight of his oilskins and sea-boots. There was a very heavy sea running at the time; and although Captain Held did all in his power to save the irun, ho failed, and was compelled to keep the shin on her course again. We thank Captain Hell for tho report of the pasiugo:-3hc left Hamburg on July 10; had fair winds and fine weather down the North Sei; passed Dover on July 14; had light winds down Channel; and cleared the English coast on July 20. Her pissage acres? the Biy of Blecy was marked by light fair winds, and on July 30 she passed and sighted the iiland of Madeira. The N.E. trade wai picked up in latitude 33deg N., longitude lOdeg W. ; it proved light and moderate thioughout, and left her in latitude 16deg N., longitude 26dcg W.; thenoe she took the S.W. moneoon, which gave cut on AugustlO in latitude 2ieg smin N., and was immediately followed by the S.E. trade, which took her across the Equ-.tor on August 21 in longitude 2ldeg 40min W. ; tho S.E. trade was very moderate, and well to the southward ; it took her down to latitude 23deg S. ; and on August 31 she met northerly winds, whioh prevailed for fully two diys; they were succeeded by the steady westerlies, which took her across the prime meridian on September 13 in latitude 40desr S ; thence she had squally weather, wi<h strong winds, and rounded tho Cape of Good Hope on September 19 in latilude 41dcg S. Off the pitch of the Cape sho encountered a very heavy gale, which commenced at N. and veered round to S.W , attended by terrific seas, which broke on board, swept everything movable off tin decks, smashed the skylight and cuddy doors, swamped the cabin and forecastle, filled the decks, and did other damage, causing the vessel to heave-to from 2 p.m. of that day until 8 a.m. of the next, when, tho weather moderating slightly, she stood on her ourse again. Met strong passage winds ocrofs the Indian Ooan, and on September 29, in longitude 49deg E„ latitude 41deg 35min S„ she encountered another exceedingly heavy gale, commencing at north-west and going round by west to south-west, raising a furious »ea; and in order to prevent as far as possible the effects of this, Captain Held caused a canvas bag full of oil to be suspended over the vessel's stern, which had the effect of moderating to a great extent the fury of the waves She orossed the meridian of Cape Leuwin on October 20, and thence bad the winds from north to southwest, with here and th«e a burst of heavy weather, and passed between the Snares and Traps on tho 3rd ins'., at noon. Had fresh southerly winds increasing to strong breezes up the coast, and anchored off Capo Saunders at 8 p.m. of the 6th Inst., towing into port as above. Neither ioe nor wreckage was seen across tho Southern Ocean, nor did she speak any vessel bound to the colonies.
