A TEAIPESTUOUS VOYAGE;; The American barque Alarv Hasbrouck from New York, made the Heads on Saturday evening, after a long and wearisomepassage of 164 days, which included a stop page of six days at Capetown. She wap towed to an anchorage" in tho stream, faith e tug Duco. . ; - Captain Holt reports having left New York on December 7th. Boisterous wen(her was experienced off tho America; coast, the line being crossed on Jannar 1 Bth. For the greater part of the run dowr to Capetown fino : weather prevailed, bn! on account of the main water tank hav ings sprung a leak during a gale in thr North Atlantic, when the whole of it* contents were lost, the vessel was forced to make Capetown for repairs to the tank and to replenish her stock of fresh water She arrived there on February 17th, re suming the voyage tc Wellington six days later. Furious south-east galea, with heavy seas, greatly deterred the sailerV progress, and it was ten days before she filially cleared the Capo of, Good ■ HopeFine weather with variable winds: were the rule in running down tho easting, bid on approaching Tasmania a further succession of south-caaterly gales were ~en countered, and tho vessel was-delayed another fortnight in rounding Van Die man's Land. Aloderate weather was experienced in the Tasman Sea, Cape Farewell being made last Thursday week. Shr then encountered the fierce scuth-westerß gale, which had such a demoralising effec! on the shipping of this port. After reaching ns far as the Brothers she was blown hack again through the Strait, and nflma very rough tinio managed to make tlm Heads last Wednesday night. On Thurr day morning a gale from the north-wes! unfortunately blew her, off the entrance and away in the direction of Cane Campbell. Again the vessel heat up, hut whe" in tho vicinity of Capo Palliser the wind blew with hurricane force, and, accompanied by a big sea, once more nullified the efforts of the vessel to reach-port. Thr, gale subsided on Friday evening, enabling tho'vessel to*'gain the entrance on Safur dav afternoon. > Captain Holt is a stranger to New Zealand, and is not at all impressed wi(h the weather he has had the misfortune te encounter on onr coasts. There are twopassengers by the Alary Hasbrouck—ALJohn Wilev. wlio is making the round trip, and ATr Frederick Edwards,, who joined; the vessel at Capetown. Yesterday week, ; when off Stephen’’* Island, the barque was in company wit'I lie Silverbow, which was standing thronoh the Strait in the direction of Cane' 1 Earnout. This vessel arrived yesterday.

The weather was fine end tho wind light, an that tho tug Dnco had no difficulty in xocurirg a lino and towing her into port, (lie anchor being dropped in tho stream about l p.m. Captain Alarshall, who was in command rf the Siivorhow when she visited Wellington last year, reports having .left Liverpool with a full cargo of general merchandise on December 24th, but owing to an accident to her steering-gear she ran into Holyhead for repairs, resuming the voyage to New Zealand on December 30th. Be-t’-eeu latitude 47 and 37 north heavy south-westerly gales were encountered, during which one of the ship’s boats was washed overboard, the chain plates carried a wav. and everything movable about, the decks was swept away.

On three successive occasions tha vs;sol got well into tho Strait, only to ho blown hack again hv furious southerly gales, during which- time there was'no •lotion hut to run before the wind. From time to time shrieking southerly squall’s "'Oil’d suddenly strike the vessel, tearing, whatever canvas v/as spread into ribbons.
