The Langstone was towed in on Monday night by the Akaroa, s.s., and brought up off Diamond Harbor at 10 p.m. She was cleared yesterday morning, and. the reporters proceeded aboard. Captain Parker is still in command, Mr Tonkin (who is well known here as chief officer of the Schiehallion) being chief officer. The little ship is in fine trim, and brings a large general cargo, consigned to Matheson's Agency, and a dozen passengers, some being first, some second, and some third class. All were comfortably lodged, though lately there has been heavy weather and the ship was rather wet. They seem pleased with their commander and the treatment they have received aboard. The ship has made a capital trip, eightyfive days from the Downs to anchorage, and seventynine from land to land, that is, from the Land's End to the Snares. With the exception of two heavy gales, the passage has been a flue weather one. No laud was sighted throughout the trip. The following is the captain's report:—Left Gravesend June 16th; passed Deal following day, and took final departure from Land's End on the 21st. Had steady N.E. winds across the Bay, and caught the N.E. trades on June 28th in lat. 32 N., long. 18 W.; they were moderate in strength, and were lost on the 7th July. The usual variables followed, but on the 14th the S.E. trades were met with in 4 N.; they were unusually squally. The Equator was crossed on the 17th, and the trades finally left on July 24th in 18 S. Thence to meridian of the Cape, which was passed on August 10th, had westerly winds, one very heavy gale from the W.S.W. being experienced off Tristan D'Acunha. From the Cape had a spell of fine weather, the westerlies being light till the Crozets were passed on August 19th, after which had unsteady N.W. and S.W. till the Snares were passed on September Bth. The easting was run down in the 46th parallel. Last Thursday, two days before making the Snares, experienced a very heavy westerly gale, a high sea running, much water being shipped. Had fine weather up the coast, running in and sighting the Nugget Point on Sunday last. Made the Peninsula on Monday at 10 a.m., and the heads at 7 p.m. The wind being fresh sou'-west was taken in tow by the S.s. Akaroa, and brought up to anchorage off the town at 10 p.m. The following ships were spoken during the passage :—Ship Carlisle, from London to Sydney, June 27th; ship Glen Huntley, from Liverpool to Cape Town, June 28th in lat. 32 N., long 18 W.; ship Martha Birnie, from London to Sydney, on June 30th in 30 N., 20 W. On July 2nd, in lat 24 N., long. 21 W., sighted a large brig-rigged steamer showing German colours bound north. On August 14th, in lat. 43 S., long. 43 E., passed a ship under low sail, flashing her binnacle light. As it was night time, the weather squally and high sea running, did not ascertain her name. The following passengers arrived by the Langstone :—Saloon: Mr and Mrs Morris and child, Miss M. E. Atkin, and Mr T. G. B. Nicholas. Second cabin: Mr and Mrs Jenkins, and Mrs Reynolds. Steerage : Messrs T. A. Tickell, E. R Shaw, Wm, Power, and Wm. Miller.
