The ship reported off the heads in our yesterday's Issue proved ■to be, aj we predicted, the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company's Marborough, Captain Hird, from London; and but for the spell of northerly winds that have prevailed for a week past we should have had her here on Sunday last, as she made the Snares on Friday, the 15th inst., but unfortunately meeting a strong N.B. gale.jfollowed by light northerly winds, she was prevented from making any headway along the coast; still,despite the fact of her having been compelled to beat down the English Channel on leaving home, getting very poor trades both from N.E. and S.E., with indifferent passage winds until she crossed the meridian of Kerguelen's land, the Marlborough has held her own, and haß made the passage from Start Point to the Snares in 74 days, and from Londvn to Otago Heads in 81 days—not such bad work considering the light weather Bhe haß hnd. She brings 11 passengers, all of whom have enjoyed excellent health, and over 1700 tons of cargo, 1200 tons of which are general goods and 500 tons deadweight; in addition to this she brings over 600 pkgs of gunpowder, stowed in a properly constructed aagazine. The Marlborough comes into port in her usual good order, and reflects great credit on our old|friend Oaptaiu Hird and his officers, of whom on the present voyage Mr Heignaut (late of the barque May Quaen), is chief; Mr Johnson, second; and Mr Vine, third. The comfort of the passengers has, we are sure, been well looked after by Mr and Mrs Pollock, who still occupy their old positions in the victualling department. We thank Captain Hird for the following report of the passage, taken from his abstract log :—She left London at noon of July 29; proceeded to Gravesend, embarked powder, and left again at 6.30 p.m.; towed to the Downs, and thence beat down the Channel against a moderate westerly wind, taking her departme from Start Point on August 2. Had fight northerly winds across the Bay of Biscay, ' which led her into the N.E. trades on August 11, in lat. 33 N, long. 19 W. j they were very light and well northerly, and gave out in lat. 14 X.; thence she picked ud the S.W. monsoon, which took her down to lat.' 5 N, long. 21. W., and on August 24 she took the first of the S.E. trades, crossing the equator on August 27, in long 25 W. The S.E. trades were light and well to the southward for the lirst {our days; they gave out in lat 24 3., long, 38 W., and were followed by light variable winds until September 8, when she took a fresh easterly wind, which gradually veered into north,and on September 11 the first of the steady westerlies set in, her latitude being 38 S., and long .26 W. She crossed the prime meridian on September 16th in lat. 40 S., had steady winds and rounded the Cape of Good; Hope three days later (September Ml) in lat. 42 S.; thence she had moderate passage winds down to Kerguelen's land, and thence strong winds from S. to S.W. with variable weather; the meridian of Cape Leuwin was crossed on October 7, In lat. -16 S,, and that of the island of Tasmania on October 12; still keeping steady winds she made the Snares on September 15, when the winds headed her, and on the 17th inst. she encountered a strong N.E. gale, which was followed by light northerly winds and calms along the coast. Otago Heads were made at 10 p m. of the 21st inst., and after standing off and on during the night she was taken in tow at 6 a.m. yesterday by the Harbour Board's tug Plucky, which brought her up to the powder ground. Here she was met by the Customs steam launch, and satisfactory 11 assurances of the health of all on board having been given to Dr Drysdale (the health officer), that gentleman grunted pratique, and she was at once boarded and cleared in by Mr H. T. Macdonnell (aurveyor of Customs). No casualties have occurred, nor has ice or wreckage been seen. Captain Hird reports speaking the following vessels:—September 18: Lat. 40 S., loag. 1.50 E.. ship Anthonla, from London for Calcutta. 65 days out. September 20: Lat. 42.20 S., long. 21.20 8., four-masted ship Falls of Bruar, from Liverpool for Calcutta, 57 days out. ♦ THE DIUECT STEAMERS.
