The Helen Scott left London on August 19th, and experienced some fearful weather in the Channel. Upon several occasions the ship, which is very deeply laden, was flooded by the seas that washed over her bulwarks during her heavy rolling. The passengers’ quarters down aft wore also flooded to such a degree that the crew were put to work to bale the water out of the compartment. The ship labored greatly, and rolled the fore-topgallant mast out of her. Tho rigging also had to be frapped. On September the 23rd, one of the a nephew of the owner of the vessel, having for some days previous _ been laid down with sickness, a call in was made at St. Vincent, where he was landed. As already reported, the ship, when leaving St. Vincent, collided with H.M.S. Tamar, and sustained considerable damage. This necessitated a stay at St. Vincent until September 27th, on which date she resum'd her voyage. The Equator was crossed on October 13th in 24 W. longitnde, after having experienced poor N.E. trade winds. On November 10th the ship was off the Capo of Good Hope, and she crossed the meridian of Capo Leu win December 10th; that of Tasmania ten days later, having ran down the easting in 42 to 43 S. Captain Goldsworthy describes the “ running down ” as rather “ rolling the easting down,” and says he has never seen snoh weather but once before in a twenty-five years’ experience. The Snares were passed twelve days ago, since which nothing but fresh head winds or baffling airs were met with np the coast. The Helen Scott is commanded by Captain James Goldsworthy. She was built in 1863 for the Bombay and Calcutta trade, and has the appearance of a powerful iron ship- Mr T. W, Trick occupies the post of chief Officer, and Mr Goldsworthy that of second mate. The entry of the vessel was made yesterday at the Customs by her agents, Ihe New Zealand Shipping Company, by whom she is advertised to load for London. TELEGEAPH NOTICE BOAED.
