I Canterbury, from London, bringing her inside i the Heads at 4 p.m., under the charge of Pilot I Baton. The Canterbury, which comes into port in most beautiful order, is under the comi mand of Captain Colbert, a gentleman well known in command of several of the company’s ships, and who brings with him the following officers:— Mr Newby (late of Oamaru) ohi-f, Mr Phillips second, and Mr Gill third, Mr Steward occupying the position of chief steward. The Canterbury brings a large cargo, consisting of some 2,300 tons, about one-third of which is deadweight and the remainder measurement goods, in addition to the 800 cases of combustibles, which were stowed in a properly constructed magazine. The passage, which may be termed a fine-weather one, has been accomplished in ninety-two days from anchor to anchor, which no doubt would have been considerably lessened but for the fact of her having almost a total absence of N F. trade and only moderate winds across the Southern Ocean. We are indebted to Captain Calbert for the following report of the passag ■: -Left the Fast India Docks on October 6, and proceeded to Gravesend. After taking on board her combustibles towed to the Downs, where she anchored owing to a heavy westerly gale; remained there until the Bth, when she again got underweigh with a light northerly breeze, which continued down the Channel, and took her departure from Start Point on the following day; had variable winds till meeting the N.E. trade wind, wh’ch lasted only two days, when she took the S.E, trade-in latitude 2deg N., longitude 27deg W., on November 12, crossing the Equator on November 14 in longitude 29deg W. ; the S.E. trade was fair, and carried her down to latitude 25deg S., longitude SOdeg W., on November 22. The trade was followed by light baffling winds for three days, when she took the first of the westerlies j crossed the meridian of Greenwich on November 30 in latitude 42deg 8., and rounded the C.ipe of Good Hope five days later in latitude 43deg 8,; bad moderate to fresh northerly to westerly winds, with unsettled weather, across the Southern Ocean, and parsed the meridian of Cape Leeuwin on December 27 in latitude 48dog 8. ; still keeping simitar weather, she passed the Island of Tasmania on January 2 in latitude 49deg S., where a strong westerly breeze set in, which brought her up to the lard; sighted Stewart Island on the 7th; thence she had a strong S. W. wind with clear weather up to the Nuggets, which was passed on the morning of the Bth, when the wind fell light, and sighted Cape Saunders same afternoon ; thence she had calms, and was towed into port as above.
