ARRIVAL OF THE C. L. TAYLOR. This vessel arrived in harbor yesterday. She is a very long vessel, a barquentine, and was built in the Brooklyn Navy Yard for a gun-boat, her name being originally the Waiuuna, in 1862. She was the first vessel that passed the ports at New Orleans when that place was taken, and lost twenty-seven men in the action, and when her planking was stripped off, five tons of lead and iron were taken out. She is terribly lumbered up with timber. It is decidedly the finest cargo that has ever reached this port from America. It is all Oregon pine and some of it is 16 x 16 and 105 feet long, and other 18 xlB and 08 feet exceptional lengths. She has had a very rough passage and looks much knocked about. Her captain reports that he left Burrad’sJ Inlet, British Columbia, on the 2lstof September; sighted Aitucaki Island on the 27th, and on thelst October, crossed the 30th deg of South latitude, in longitude 173 West, 40 days. From thence to port had strong W. and S.W. gales. Sighted first land East Cape, on October 18th. Was in company with the barque East Lothian on Tuesday; experienced very heavy gales and high seas during the latter part of tne passage. Had to anchor at heads owing to N.W. wind yesterday morning, but ran down the harbor and anchored off town about 5 p.m. yesterday in in charge of Captain Wood, the pilot.
