Brogden and Sons. This vessel is proving herself a fast sailer, by the excellent trips she is making.— lhid. Voyage or A China Tka Clipper.— The threemasted schooner George Noble, Melville, from Foochow, arrived yesterday afternoon, with a half cargo of tea. She sailed into port before the fine N.E. breezs which had been blowing throughout the day. Capta.in Melville reports having left Foochow on the sth September, and laid his course down the eastern passage. During the first part she had N.E. winds, but on reaching the region of the trades none such were experienced, though she had a great amount of S.W. wind in the North Pacific, and in the region of the trades had E. and S.E. winds in their stead ; they moderated towards the line, which was crossed in long. 15014 E. on the 10th October. The S.E. trades were more favorable, as they were picked up near the equator, continuing until the 11th November, when they fell slack, and on the 12th the wind came in from E.N.E., with a falling barometer. The wind veered round the compass, and the barometer rested at 20'.';0, the ship being then in lat. ld's2 long, 1G0'34 E, She there encountered a cyclone, being at the time only a short distance north-east of New Caledonia. For some time the wind held E.N.E., and blew very strong. It then came round to N.W., and freshened so that the schooner had to heave-to under a doublereefed mizzen. The wind having blown away the lower topsail, she remained so for four hours, when the wind again shifted round, and this time stood at S.S. W., and blewharder--so much so that the schooner was compelled to stand away before it under bare poles, the sea being cross and much confused. After eight hours’ running in this manner the sea fell sufficiently to admit of her being hove-to, which was accordingly done. The glass now showed signs of improvement, and in a few hours the storm was over, ■ having lasted for thirty hours, in which time the little ship was much strained about the covering-boards, &c. On the 13th the wind came round to the N.E., and » held so until the 15th, when it again blew from the N.W., lasting so until the schooner made the land at Mount Egrnont, on the 24th. at daylight. The same winds carried her through Cook Strait the same day, passing Wellington Heads that evening, after which she had S.W. winds for twenty-four hours, and then N.E. winds till arrival as above. The schooner is not much over half loaded, and will discharge her cargo at Dunedin •wharf. The lands sighted on the passage were the Island of Pouaki on the oth October, Tasman Island on the 39th, and Tricopia on the 4th November,—Otnyo Guardian, Dec. 1.
