ARRIVAL OF THE JANET COWAN. On Saturday evening Captain Thomson received a telegram from Waikouaiti stating that a large ship was at anehor in a dangerous position off Waikouaiti. The Harbor-Master immediately communicated with Captain Sinclair, of the tug Geelong, who at once ordered steam to be got up, and within one hour the tug was on her way down the harbor. When off the pilot station the tug took on board Pilot Kelly, and then proceeded towards Waikouaiti, which was reached shortly before midnight. There she found the Janet Cowan at anchor within three-quarters-of-a-mile of the south head of the bay. Owing to the heavy sea on it was some time before a line could be got from the ship on to the Geelong, but that done, the latter commenced to tow the ship, the Heads being reached shortly after noon yesterday, and the ship anchored at the quarantine ground, as she had powder on board. The Janet Cowan is » fine iron ship of 1,278 tons, was built by R. Steele and Co., of Greenock, in 1866, and is owned by Messrs R. Shankford and Co. Besides a large cargo, she brings fifty-eight passengers, and has made a very good passage of eighty-fire days. She left London on the 9th of October, anchored in the Downs the same night on account of a heavy S.W. gale, and got under way next morning, taking her final departure from the Lizard on the 15th, having had fresh westeily winds down channel. In lat. 29.25, on the 25th, caught the N.E. trades, which lasted till the 22nd of November, she then being in lat. 7.35 N. Doldrums were then experienced until crossing the equator on the 9th of November in long. 28 59, the S.E. trades being got the next day in lat. 1.41 S., and lost on the 20th in lat. 31.15 S. Thence had S. and S.E. winds until the 23th, when she got the westerlies, and ran her easting down between the general parallels of 51 and 52. Crossed the meridian of Greenwich on the 30th and that of the Cape on the 4th of December, and the meridian of Leuwin on the 21st, having had fine winds and weather; passed the Snares on the 30th of December, with very thick weather, was off the Nuggets on the 31st, with a strong N. B. breeze, passed Cape Saunders on Saturday afternoon with a thick fog, and drove up far as Waikouaiti, when she came to anchor and was towed up as above.
