ARRIVAL OF THE BARQUE WAVE QUEEN. The Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company’s barque Wave Queen, 853 tons, commanded by Captain Kelly, was signalled Thursday last week as being off the Heads, and shortly before 1 o’clock she dropped anchor at the powder ground, being brought in from the Heads by Pilot Holmes. The passage was a most uneventful one, light and baffling winds having been experienced throughout. The trip from land to land was made in 90 days, although the passage from London to arrival occupied 102 days. The ship has arrived in first - class order, and reflects the highest amount of credit on Captain Kelly, who, yesterday, on coming to an anchorage, received the congratulations of numberless old friends and former passengers. Mr F. Kelly, the chief officer, is, too, an old trader to this port, and participated in the welcome accorded to his chief. The Wave Queen left London on the 19th May, and experienced variable winds down the Channel, and to Start Light. On May 25, violent symptoms of a maniacal nature were evinced by a steerage pissengcr named Vandelinde, and Captain Kelly deemed it advisable, although at considerable loss of time to the ship to beat np Channel, and put back to Plymouth, where Mr Vanderlinde and his family were landed. The voyage was resumed on the 2Cth May, and on that day the last land was seen. Light variable winds were experienced to the S7deg S, and thence light northerly winds to longitude 128 min 17deg E, the Equator having been crossed on the 27th June, and the meridian of Greenwich in 24min 33deg S.
