Thk MoNAttCH. — Barque Monarch Datid Smale, Commander, le(t Cowes 27th November, 1849, with light breezei from the N.E. — on the 29th strong breezes from tbe 5, W- f ibip uuder double reefed top-

sails. The wind continuing to blow contrary until the ship hid passed the Cape de Verd Islands when ihe had two dayi of light winds from the N.E. — afterwards light variable winds and calms until the 14th Jan., 1850, when she crossed the line with light airs from the S.E. On the 14th March, made the S.W. cape for Van Diemen's Land, having made a passage from the line to Van Diemen's Land in fifty-nine days, Being short of provisions for the cattle, endeavoured to go into Hobart Town, but it blew so strong for two or three days that the idea was abandoned, and they bore up for New Zealand. On the 19th March, lost the rudder, comequently the ship became unmanageable ; however, endeavoured to steer her with a hawser until the next day when a temporary rudder was made which aniwered tolerably well. On the 2 Ith March saw the Trap rocks off Stewarts Island. When some distance off Cape Saunders, the rudder would not act ; endeavoured to wear ihip but she would not pay off, consequently all aail was hove aback and two anchors let go to prevent her running in upon the land. For two days were obliged to keep the two topiails aback to keep her off the land, lost the anchors but got the rudder in and fitted it afresh and bore up for Akaroa, where she met with several days of calm and light variable winds and occasionally foggy weather On the Ist April, let go the anchor ouuide the harbour, — on the 2nd weighed anchor to enter, but the wind being strong out of it, was forced to stand off from the land, but on the 3rd at 10 a.m., anchored in Akaroa harbour, landed about 50 passenger!, after which the Monarch will proceed to Wellington and Auckland, and then most probably to Sydney. Deer, pheasants, harei, rabbits, heifers, and two young bulls from the celebrated stock of Lord Ducie, and a thoroughbred mare were put on board, but owing to the bad weather at the commencement of the voyage all was lost except I heifer, the 2 bulls, the mare, and 2 pheasants. We understand that th« Monarch is the property of Mr. Robinson, late Magiitrate at Akaroa, and i« to be continued as a regular trader between England and New Zealand. — Independent.
