SHIP TAUNTON, FROM LONDON. On Saturday we proceeded on board the Taunton, and found on nearing her that she was a nice little ship, rather deeply loaded, and reminded us greatly of the Hudson. She is a composite ship, and was built in Hartlepool in isos. Her decks were fitted up with sheep pens containing some sheep imported by Mr J. T. Ford, a detailed account of which will be found in another portion of onr columns. The following is the report of the vessel furnished by the captain The ship Taunton left on May 10th ; crossed the Equator when 32 days out. Had very light N.E. trades and very moderate S.E., which were caught In 4 South, and left ns on the 18th ol June in latitude 17.43 South, longitude 36.41 West. Sighted Tristan D’Acunaon July 9th. From thence had light baffling winds. In running down the easting had strong N.E. and S.E. Sighted Nugget Head on September 2nd. Had very variable winds along the coast till Friday, when there was a ticavy southerly gale, with snow, hail, and rain. It was the stormiest passage experienced by the captain since 1849, and never saw such a continuation oi easterly weather. Did not speak one vessel during the passage. The passage occupied 117 days irom land to land.
