The barque Thomas Brown sailed up last night. She left Launceston on the 11th. The s.s. Bruce arrived early this morning from Lyttelton, via Timaru, and discharged wool at the ship Mataura. The steamers Beautiful Star, for Lyttelton, via Timaru, and Star of the South, for Fiji, via Northern ports, sailed last night. The barque Cesarewitch, from Port Esperance, arrived at the Heads at 12.30 p.m. The Geelong proceeded down and towed her up this afternoon. The immigrants by the ship Wellington were transhipped at the railway pier this afternoon by the p.s. Golden Age, and conveyed to Dunedin by train. The barque Cesarewitch, with a cargo of timber from Port Esperance, was towed up by the tug Geelong yesterday afternoon, and anchored off the railway pier. She left Port Eaperance on the 10th. The barque Comet, which was reported in our last issue as having arrived at the Heads, was towed up yesterday by the tug Geelong, having put into port for provisions. Captain Cooper reports leaving Camara for Hobart Town on the 2nd instant, with a strong S.W. wind, which continued for two days; then had light variables, with foggy weather, until the 12th, being then about sixty miles to the eastward of the Snares. At about 10 p.m. the bows of an apparently large vessel were sighted, and what appeared to be a top-gallant forecastle was about half out of water, the knight-heads and stump of a. bowsprit being distinctly seen, but, on account of the weather being unsettled and threatening, no attempt was made to lower a boat. The Southern lights were also seen the same evening. Captain Cooper predicted stormy weather, which unfortunately proved true, as on the next morning a heavy gale sprang up from the N. W., and continued, with occasional changes to the W.S.W., until the 20th, the gale blowing as heavily with the barometer at aO.3C as when it stood at 29.50, On the 21at, the wind being W.S.W., with a heavy sea, and having only one week’s provisions on board, it was deemed prudent to bear up for Otago Heads. Baffling winds were met with from the W. to N.W. al.mg the coast. The Comet made the Heads at 1 p.m. Spoke a barque, supposed to be the >prinbok, off Cape Saunders, at 9 p.m. on the 24th. The barque Jennie Louttet sailed up last evening as far as the upper part of the cross channel with a light M.E. wind, when the wind came down from the S.W., and she was compelled to anchor. She has had a long passage of 114 days from Liverpool, which is accounted' for through having encountered adverse winds and calms until after passing the meridian of the Cape, she being then seventytwo days out. She is a handy little barque of 492 tons burthen, belonging to Mr Daniel Louttet, of Caithness, and is consigned to Messrs Guthrie and Larnach. She is comtnauded by Captain Murdoch, a gentleman not altogether unacquainted with Otago, as he first visited this port in the year 1850 in command of It Eden, the last vessel chartered by the < o 9? m P^ n y* Hi® last visit was in the year 1864, when in command of the Kate Swanton. During the voyage one casualty happened at noon,|on the 17th of February. A seaman, named Alexander Isbister, while engaged hooking on the fore brace block, there being a heavy sea at the time, one of them came in and swept him overboard. The vessel was nove-to, but nothing was seen of him. At the time they were in lat. 45 S., long. 154 E. She left Liverpool on the 4th of Nov. with S. W winds, and took her final departure from Cape Clear with a N.E. wind, which continued until the 17th ; from thence she experienced vanables until catching the N.E. trades on the 21st m 26 N., which were light, and were carned as far as 9 N. on the 2nd of December; thence hght and variable win.ts until cr*-chuw theS.K trades on the 10th in 2 N.. and caused the Equator on thel'idi; the S.E. trades were indifferent, and were lost on the 22nd in 23i S * crossed the meridian of Greenwich on the 7th S.,.and that of the Cape on the 14th of January in 43* S., being seventytwo days out; sighted the Island of Tristan dAcunha on the 4th of January; got the steady westerhes on the 16th, and ran down her easting between 43 and 44, and made Stewart’s Island on the2othinst. /from thence S g E t cn^nf and , V^ abl . e3 ’ t with strong adverse S.E. currents which set her off the land, and , waa S) £ h L of u tlltt Heads on .the 24th ; on the_ 26th a light breeze sprang up from the N.E., which enabled her to fetch the Heads and sailed up as above. The only vessel spoken during the voyage was the ship Oreso, from California to London, on the 21et of December in lat. 22$ S., long. 25$ W. mD
