The present year has been remarkable for the number of vessels which have been dismasted on the voyage from England to this port. The record is not yet closed, for now we have Intelligence received on Friday by the ship Eaton Hall that she spoke the ship Harlaw, from London for Melbourne, on the Equator in a disabled condition. The Eaton Hall reports that on 16th May a vessel was descried with her topmasts gone, and on bearing down and passing close to her, she was founS to be the Aberdeen clipper ship Harlaw, twenty-one days out from London, for this port, with cargo and passengers. The lowermasts only were standing; everything else, bowsprit and all, having been carried away. The Harlaw, it appears, had been overtaken in a sudden heavy squall on the night before, and the wreckage was still hanging to her when the Baton Hall passed. -Captain Putt made ®f assistance, if any should be required, but Captain Phillips, who is well known in these Colonies as a careful navigator and skilful seaman, stated that he stood in no need of it. The Eaton Hall then stood away on her course. Captain Putt states that on the same

night as the Harlaw got dismasted the weather was heavy, and there was a falling barometer, but nothing came of it, and the threatened storm passed over. As the Harlaw would have spare spars on board, very little time would be tost by Captain Phillips in getting them aloft. J. he Harlaw has since arrived in port.—‘Australasian.’
