She passed the Nuggets at 9 a.m yesterday, rounded Cape S^uad«s at 2.30 p.m., was towed across the bar at rt p.m. ai|d anchored in the powder ground at 6.4 pm' She .was met in the lo*er harbour by ihe custom's steam launch, and her bill ol health submitted to Dr Dryadale, who found everything correct, granted her pratique, a.id she was at once cleared in by Mr K. •£ Macdonnell, the surveyor of cu o toma. The Taran tkl is still under the command of our old fri i.d Captain Gordon, aud comes into port iv splendid order, reflecting great credit on the officers, of whom Mr Hopkins is still chief, and Mr Stevens second. Sha is c&nsigned to Messrs Dalgety aud Oo (Limited; of this city, and brings 18 passengers, witn 1800 tons of carg 1, of w h eh 1200 tons are measurement and the remainder dead weight. In addition to this she has'3l tons of powder stowed in a properly constructed magazine, and after transhipping which she will;pr..ceedto Dunedin to discharge. Her pissage from port to port hasoccupiei 94 days, and from land to laud 85 days, a long one for so smart a vessel] as the Taranaki undoubtedly is, but easily accounted tor by the fact of her being nine days ln the British Channel before she took her final departure, had poor trades both from *N.K, to S 8., and very indifferent winds across the Southern Ocean, no passage winds being taken. Weare indebted to Captain Go don for the following report of the passage, taken from his attract log:—Shi left Gravesend on November 1, hid strong we=WJy winds down the Channel landed the pilot off Poitland on November 6, and passed the Lizard on the morning of the 7th, and finally cleared the land on November 9; had strong gains across the Bay of Biscay, followed by N.W. and northerly winds down to lat. 27.29 N., long 21 16 W., when she picked up the N.M. trades, they were very hgnt and failed altogether it lat. 20 N., long 2o W., thence she had a spell of calms and light variable winds down to lat. 20 N„ Icing. 25 W., where tha S. ti. trades were taken and she crossed the equator on December 2iu long. 27.H0 W.; had light trades, which gave out in lat. 22 S., and thence variable winds, chiefly from E. to S.E., with misty weather down to 1 he meridian of Greenwich, which she crossed on December 25. Thence she had •westerly winds, and rounded the Cape of Good Hope dn December 30. in lat. 46 S. She met a westerly gale off the pitch of the Cape, which lasted for twelve hours, and after that had scarcely anything in the shape of passage winds ; the prevailing winds, being principally.from N. N.E to 5.8., with thick foggy weather. She passed the meridian of Cape Leuwin on January 19 ; had N.W. and westerly winds until January 24, in lat. 49 S , long. 146 El, wh*n sh- encountered a strong S.B. gale, with thick dirty weather, theuceshe had the winds from W.S.W., hauling back t. S.K.,and easterly, light and variable, with dense, fo.s aud calms. She passed the Snares on Ihe morning ot the 2nd inst.; had northerly winds and calms until the morning of the 3rd, and then t.ok the wind from S. to S.W.; passed the "Nuggets at 9 a.m., and arrivedasabove.
