ARRIVAL OF THE BOEDER CHIEF. The iron clipper ship Border Chief (100 Al), under the command of Captain Leslie, dropped anchor In "Wellington harbor at 3 a.m. on Saturday, 9th Inst. The following is a record of her voyageA iter leaving the Thames she discharged the pilot off Portland Heads on the 4th of last July. and passed the Start the following day with J light, easterly wind. On the 10th of July she passed Madeira on the starboard bow, being favored with a light 3S.E. trade wind. On the 16th of July she sighted Cape de Verde Island. In 14dcg. S. lat. she lost the N.L. trades, and experienced much delay from the prevailing light southerly winds, which prevented the ship from crossing the equator until the 31st of J uly (twenty-eight days out). She crossed the line in 2Sdeg. W. long. From the line she had light b.L. trades, which were lost on the 9th of August in 20deg. S. lat. and 34deg. W. long. For the following eight days she experienced light southerly winds, which considerably retarded her progress. On the 22nd August she encountered a strong 9. W. gale and heavy seas, which caused the ship to roil heavily, and obliged her to sail under reefed topsails. The following day she had to contend with a terrific N.W. gale and high cross seas. The seas flooded her. deck with heavy water. So tempestuous was the storm that a portion of the cargo in the hold broke adrift. The main hatches were taken off to admit of the removal to the deck of the powder, boxes of cartridges, and some miscellaneous cargo. It being found impossible, in consequence of the gale and heavy cross seas, to secure any of this cargo on the deck, and fearing the jiowder might by an accident explode, the captain Ordered it be thrown overboard, to ensure the safety of the passengers, the ship, and cargo. The gale continued nil that day, heavy seas at intervals washing down lito the hold" and seriously damaging the cargo. A quantity of iron got loose in the lower hold, and a number"-of the passengers assisted the crew in trying to "secure' it. On the 24th she encountered a

strong westerly gale, with heavy cross seas the cre w And imssenaers being* employed all day in securing the iron the weather being most tempestuous, causing the 'ship to labor heavily. At 10 p.m the hatdres were battened down, aiie-w-cstcrly gaie and he^avy sea continued throughout the next day. On the -Bth of the same month she passed the meruiian of tbe Cane in 42deg. S. lat.. and ran down her easting on a parallel of from 43deg. to 44deg. S-IfMXJXr 28 the usual S.W. and N.W. winds. On September the ship passed in sight of the South Cape of Tasmania. On the 6th October she £nter c d ,. Coo £ ® “i; At noon the following day she passed the■ Islands, and sighted Pencavrow at, 330 p.m. the same day, and , wa3 . shortly boarded by Pilot Holmes. The strong noithoriy "ind blowing prevented the Pilot from bringing her in, and on the following morning (Friday) she was driven down as far south as Cape Campbell. At 11 p.m. the same day she caught a southerly breeze, earthing her into harbor, where she anchored as stated above, .
