One of Messrs Shaw, Savill and Company’s lino of regular trading ships to this colony, the Pleiades, came into port on Saturday afternoon from London, completing a delightfully fine weather passage of eighty-fonr days from last seeing the Old Country to first sighting this coast, or ninety-two days from Gravesend to this port. With passengers the ship has always been a favorite, and usually her accomodation in this respect is liberally patronised. This voyage she was the bearer to the colony of but five intending settlors, the departure of the steamship Northumberland a few days after her being a sufficient explanation of this. Captain Setten and his officers are to bo complimented upon having made an excellent voyage, as well as with having brought into Port a scrupulously clean and wholosoihe looking ship. The names of the officers are—first, Mr C. James; second, Mr McLean, and third, Mr Heilbrown. The following is the report of the voyage : Left the Docks on October 14th, the Downs on the 15tb, and Start Point on the 19th. Encountered heavy gales from the W.S.W. in Dressing the Bay of Biscay, which continue! until abreast of Gibraltar. Passed east of Madeira on November 2nd, and the equator on the 17tb, Capo of Good Hope on December 9lh. Ran the easting down on the parallel of 46 S. Fine breezes from N.W. to S.W. weroexperioncod to Tasmania ; thence moderate breezes and calms. Had very fine weather the whole time since passing Madeira. Sighted the Snares on tho 11th inst., Banks’ Peninsula 5 am. the 15th, with moderate breezes from E.N.E. to S. up the coast and fine weather. On October 16th in latitude 34.30 ; longitude 12.41 W., saw a derelict ship on the port beam; bore down on her, and sent the mate away with the boat and five bands to board ber, which they did. She proved to be the Ulster, of St. Johns, N. 8., timber laden and water-logged, the sea washing across her dock. Her bulwarks wera gone fore and aft, houses and everything off the deck, with the exooption of anchors and chains. Her masts were broken close to the deck, and nothing was standing but tho bowsprit. The hold was foil of water with the cargo washing about and several buams broken. She was in a very dangerous position, being in the direct highway of ships bound to tho southward, and also of steamers to and from tho Cape of Good Hope. On December 14th, latitude 44.35 S., longitude 44 E., passeda topmast and orosstrees of a ship which had apparently been in the water a long time. Tho ships spoken were tho Woodlark, from London to Adelaide, latitude 4 N, longitude 23 W., County of Carnarvon, Liverpool to Bombay, latitude 33 S., longitude 20 W. The entry of tho vessel will bo made at the Customs to-day, and the ship will be berthed at once, and commence to land her cargo. She is announced to load at this port for London with despatch.
