ARRIVAL OF THE PEACEMAKER. The ship Peacemaker, a fine vessel of 1,004 tons, which was built at St. John’s, New Brunswick, in 1873, to the order of Mr W. W. Turnbull, of that citj T , and chartered by Messrs Shaw, Savill, and Co,, of London, and consigned to Messrs Guthrie and Lavnacb, was towed up last evening by the Geelong, after a passage of 11.4 days from Louden, which long passage is attributed to the vessel's being so

deeply laden. Captain Closson complains of the attempts made by the charterers to overload his vessel. Shebrings a cargo of 1,641 tons, about 1,000 tonscf which consists of deadweight. Captain Classon also states that he made application at i loyd’s for a survey; but this, according to the rules of that institution, could not be granted without the consent of both parties interested ; and Messrs Shaw, Savill, and Co., not wishing a survey, consented to the vessel’s sailing with the amount of cargo which she brings, thereby shutting out a quantity of general cargo, besides some tons of powder. The Peacemaker left Gravesend on the 28th of February; had light easterly winds down channel, and cleared the land on the 4th March; encountered a heavy westerly gale in the Bay of Biscay, which continued for seven days, during part of which time the vessel was hove to. The gale moderating, she got N. and N.E. winds, which continued until crossing the Equator ou the 80th of March, in long. 26; from thence had light variable winds until picking up the S.E. trades in lat. 10 S. on the Cth of April, which were moderate, and wcie lost on the 15th; sighted the island of Trinidad the same day, on the 18th came into collision with the Italian barque Kipamari. by which the Peacemaker lost some of her head gear, and carried away her fore royal mast and fore yard, and the stock of one anchor. The barque carried away her main yard and two topsail yards. Captain Classon ran back to the barque to reader assistance, which happily was not required, no damage being done to the hull of either vessel. Thence had N.W. winds until ■ crossing the meridian of Greenwich on the 27th, and that of the Cape on the Ist of May, in lat. 40; then encountered a succession of gales veering from N. to S. by W., accompanied by high eeas, until reaching the meridian of Tasmania on the 13th Inst, ; sighted Amsterdam Island on the 17th of May, passed the Snares without sighting them at noon on the 20th, and made the Nuggets on the afternoon ot the 22nd. Her easting was run down between the parallels of 39 and -10 S.; had light winds along the coast, and was off the Heads at noon yesterday.
