She wais shortly afterwards cleared by Mr Monson, Clearance Officer. Besides a large general cargo and six prize sheep (one ram having died on the voyage), she brings thirty second cabin Eassengers, all of whom have enjoyed good ealth. They presented Captain Anderson with a testimonial for his kindness and attention to them during the voyage. We are indebted to Captain Anderson for the following report:— Left GraVfesendon the 4th Oct. with lighteasterly ■winds ; was off Portland on the 6th; discharged the pilot and took her final departure from Start Point on the 7th: encountered strong westerly winds and rough weather across the Bay of Biscay ; picked up the N.E. trades on the 17th In lat. 30 N. ; they were moderate, and were lost on the 26th in lat. BN. Calms and doldrums were experienced until reaching the equator, which was crossed on the 4th of November in long. ,29 W,; the S.E. trades, which were brisk, were immediately caught and were carried to lat. 20 S. ; light and variable easterly weather was experienced until crossing the meridian of Greenwich on the 25th of November, then N. winds to the meridian of the Cape, which was crossed on the Ist December; westerly winds then prevailed until sighting (he Crosets on the 11th; from the lltn to 21st had strong N.W. with thick fog; her easting was run down on a parallel of 45 S. ; sighted the Solanders.on the Ist; signalled the Bluff on Thursday night, and was off the Heads yesterday afternoon. During the passage she spoke a number of vessels, Including the Pleiades, which left Gravesend for Canterbury the same day as the Agnes Muir. Her best day’s work was on the 25th December, when she logged 295 miles. After discharging her powder, she will be removed to the railway pier to discharge her cargo. It is the intention of Captain Anderson to take advantage of the Graving Dock before' loading for London. The steamers Pretty Jane for the Molyneux, Claud Hamilton for Melbourne, via West Coast and Northern Ports, and Beautiful Star for Lyttelton and intermediate ports, sailed last evening. The p.s.
