Yesterday afternoon, the fine iron barque Roslyn Castle, owned by Messrs Thomas Skinner and Co,, of Glasgow, but chartered by the New Zealand Go., was signalled at the Heads. There being a fineN.E. breeze, she immediately came through the Hads, and as by the time she reached the quarantine ground it was very dark, Pilot Kelly deemed it prudent to anchor there. She brings no passengers or powder, but a full cargo. She has made a

rather long passage of 122 days from London, which was occasioned from the commencement of her passage, having head winds in the Channel and calms and bad trade winds afterwards. Captain Miller reports leaving London on the 9th of March, passed the Downs on the 14th, and took her final departure from Start Point on the 20th, Had to beat all the way to Cape Finisterro against S.\Y. winds, and was heealmed four days off the Cape, hardly making any headway during the time. Sighted Madeira on the 4th of April, and on the 6th got the N.E. trades, which were lost in 5 N. ; doldrums were then experienced, and the Equator was crossed in 29 50 on the 20th; the S.E. trades were got in 3 S., on the 24th, and were very light; sighted Tristian D’Acunha on the 17th of May; the meridian of Greenwich was crossed on the 20th, and that of the Cape on the 24th ; her chronometers being out, she

was run down till the island of St. Paul’s was sighted to correct her time ; from the Cape to St. Paul’s she had light N. and N.E. winds for fourteen days, and passed the meridian of Cape Leuwin on the 19th, her easting being run down in 49; thence had steady winds and fine weather till passing the meridian of Cape Otway on the 26th ; then light easterly winds until making the Snares at 9 a.ra. on the 3rd, when she had a heavy N.E. gale for thirty nonre; variable winds were then experienced along the coast until she arrived off the Heads at; 4 p.m. yesterday, and sailed up as above.
