i.- A brig was sighted on Tuesday by the Beautiful Star,.and she made the Heads and came to ah anchor yesterday. As she was not signalled, she was not made out until the Geelong towed her in, when she turned out to be the Rio Loge, from Liverpool. She is a fine looking craft, and has the appearance of a clippei-. She has a full cargo, part of which is for Canterbury. Owing to an accident to the chronometers, the passage from the Line to the West Cape was worked by dead reckoning. Captain Corbett reports having left Liverpool on the 9th Februaryon the 10th and 11th , the brig encountered a very heavy S;E. gale, was struck by a heavy sea, that carried away her head gear, swept the decks, smashed two boats, and seriously injured three of the hands, one of them the chief officer. The master then bore up, thegalestill continuing, but more moderate, and on the 12th fetched into Long Island Sound, on the south-west coast of Ireland. She lay there until the 16th, and then, the gale having abated, put to sea and ran to Queenstown, and there underwent repairs. She. sailed again on the 9th March, and had moderate northerly winds till meeting the N.E, trades, on the 17th March. The Equator was crossed on the 31st March, in long. 28 40 W. The S.E. trades proved light. . Martin Vas Rocks were sighted on the 11th April, and Tristan D’Acunha on the 22nd, light easterly weather meantime prevailing. From. Tristan D’Acunha the brig passed between Nightingale and Inaccessible and .then, by cross-bearings, proved the chronometer to be one hour thirty-eight minutes fast,., and gaining nearly six minutes in the twenty-four hours. The meridian of the .Cape was passed on the 29th April, in lat, 43 S. Made her easting-in about 46 S. -On the 27th May had a tremendous N.W. gale, and the sea being very high she could run no longer, and had to .heave-to for forty-eight hours. On the 29th she was kept away again, and passed the meridian of the south end of Tasmania on the 2nd June, and arrived within sight of the West Cape of New Zealand on the Bth, - and proved her true position to be within forty-six miles of that indicated by the dead reckoning. Off the Cape, she encountered a heavy S.E. gale, and was hove-to for a couple of days ; and then the wind still being from the east, she worked round Stewart’s Island, and when clear of that got a slant from the S.W. thatr fetched her to the Heads on the evening of the 15th. She was set north that night by the current, and worked back again by yesterday morning, and arrived in Port as above stated. The following vessels were spoken during the A P^ il 12 > lat - 22.30 S., long. r>-i .American barque Mary E. Picker, bound to Philadelphia. On the afternoon of the same day, the English ship M. E. Cox, from Callao, bound to Cork for orders was spoken. • 1
