The barque Perthshire, 596 tons. Captain Sember, and bound to Falmonth from this port, is not announced yet as having arrived. She weald be 170 days out by this time. Captain Jones, of the barqae Looh Oree, is something more thm a navigator. At sea his workshop is not only snpplied with the requisite stock of charts, chronometers, sextants, &0., but there are 'he latest styles of machines for doing fretwork in wood. “ The most delicate designs in frames, brackets, and so forth, executed at shortest notice,” would form an appropriate sign at the entrance of Captain Jones’s studio. This gentleman also claims the honor of being an inventor, baring patented a ship’s bottom scrubber for nse at sea, the right of the manufacture of which in America it is said he sold some time since for a considerable snm of money. “The Jones’ scrubber'' has achieved an enviable name at several American ports, and is in good demand amongst American shipping. The brushes, in the form of mats, are let out pn lines made fast to the martingale of the ship, and they work up and down from the keel to the water line, from stem to stern, as the ship moves through the water, rubbing off barnacles ml the marine gsowth that interfere so much with the passage of ships through the water. THE LOCH CEEE. Why home ships in particular should arrive here oftener upon the first day of the week than on any other day may possibly be capable of no other answer than that it happens to be the day before Monday or the day after Saturday when they finish their journey; but it is no less true, in the conrse of shipping events at this port, that they da arrive on Sunday than it is that pea-soup day oa some ships always falls on a Friday. The Looh Cree, which arrived yesterday morning, bat adds to the role. After ninety-nine days buffeting about the ooeon, she dropped in from London, bringing some passengers and a general cargo. Her report shows her to have had a grand run from the Capo of Good Hope to New Zealand, namely, thirty days, and to this port thirty-three days. The whole passage from land to land took eighty-nine days. There was no sickness amongst the passengers or crew of a serious character during the trip, and, with the exception of an unusually severe storm experienced between the equator and the Cape of Good Hope, nothing of a special character occurred. Capt. Jones’ report is as follows: Left London baturday, Jane 10th. Stopped at Gravesend about three hours, and anchored at the Downs that night. Left the Downs at 8 a.m. the next day, and, with strong head winds down Channel, was off L'zard Point on the 17th. Passed Ouessant IsU ad next day, and eight days later entered the N.E. trade belt, 36 N., 15 30 W. The trades were of inferior strength and regularity, and the Equator was not crossed until the thirt. - sixth day out in 25 W. Passed Trinidad Island on July 24th, and bad good S.E. trades to 20 h.-. where the wind shifted and drove the ship to 36 W. On August 3rd a heavy S.E. gale prevailed, and oontinned fgr forty-eight houra. A tremendous sea broke jWcr rha' for ward part of the ship, knocking to /pieces the starboard lifeboat, broke the forward • ventilator, the chain plate of starboard rigging, and wreaked the pig honse, drowning a whole family of young ones. The ship was kept before the wind for ten hours. Daring the forty-eight hoars the ship lost jast 40 miles. On the Bth of August passed Gongh Island, and on the 15th crossed the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope in 41 S., between which meridian and 42 S. the easting was made as far as Cape Louwin, September 3rd. Passed Tasmania on the 10th, and sighted the Snares last Thursday afternoon, Cape Saunders Friday night, and first saw Banks’ Peninsula on Saturday morning, but, the wind falling, did not see Oodley Head until 5 a.m. on Sunday, when Captain Galbraith, the pilot, went off. The entry of the ship’s cargo will be made at the Customs to-day by the New Zealand Shipping Company, SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. New Plymouth, September 18.
