The ship Himalaya quitted her anchorage under .’ |h» lighthouse on Tuesday afternoon, and working ' in with the tide but against a strong westerly wind. ? reached aq anchorage offtha near point of Evans Bay ■ at 11-o’clock' same night.’ Her passage throughout " has, with the exception of Experiencing some heavy :weatherj in the.

It appears th»t ,a - seaman became very refractjry and refused duty, and ' went into'the Moa; which "was lying alongside rtady to depart.'■ The mate ashed the man to come on board but he refused, and when the former called the attention • -of the captain to > tho roan's conduct, the latter used him that he struck the offender wjth a belaying-pln r j von the head and knocked him down." Two-more of , the crew,also" became, refractory, one,refusing; duty ' ' and'another attempting to .strike the mate with an' axe, and then the captain had, to hoist the flag forj the In ■ •'police,' who put off and brought them ashore. j The passage made by the Himalaya has. been rather_ long, extending ovcr 100 days; but she had very: unfavorable "weather to the Line, in fact almost,tq the . Cape, and when running down’ her easting the winds , ’ - were occasionally rather strong,' which left their mark upou her by well washing her hull of. the.paint. She sailed from Gravesend on October 9, experienced fresh S.W. winds down the Channel, clearing it on ■ 'f, the 14th,-.
