ARRIVAL OF THE BROOMHALL FROM LONDON. On Saturday morning tho ship Broomhall was oft the' Heads, a calm prevailing at the time, ine Napier was tho first steamer that came up to her; but no offer to tow her in was made. The lUvrl later in the day ran over to her; but a price could not be agreed upon. However, on the arrival of the Kiwi at the wharf she was immediately despatched by the agents | to tow the ship in, with the shipping clerk, Health ! Officer, Ac., on board; but on going out to the ship it was found that the steamer Tul had made fast to her, and was making good progress towards port. In fact, the little vessel was doing wonders, considering the very heavy ship she was towing, and in two hours from the time she picked her up she had fetched her to an anchorage abreast of tho wharf. The Broomhall turns out to bo one of tho largest and finest ships that have ever entered this port. She Is of 1830 tons register, and to judge from appearance, has been built to attain the highest class of speed. Her lines seem to be almost perfect, and her tall masts and wide-spreading yards are at once suggestive of great power. She comes into port Jwlth her skysail yards set, and on her main and fore masts she carries double topgallant yards. The deck of tho Broomhall is really a treat to see. It Is the type of cleanliness and tidiness ail over, and seems more to belong to a vessel of war than a merchantman. All the fittings in the ship are of a most substantial order. The house forward, containing accommodation for the petty officers Sand also the steam winch, is composed of teak, as is also the topgallant bulwark and front of tho saloon, which gives the vessel a rich appearance on deck. Tho saloon is very large and commodiousiy fitted up, and contains many conveniences not often found in the saloons of sailing ships. Altogether the Broomhall is a grand ship, and for deck appointments has had no superior of her class in these waters. She is owned by the Croudace line of Dundee clippers, and is quite new, having only made three trips to Calcutta from Dundee, each of which were clipping runs, prior to her present voyage, for which she is chartered by Messrs. Shaw, Savill, and Co. The Broomhall is commanded by Captain Bate, who by gentlemanly conduct and kind attention to the wants of those under his charge has won the esteem of all, *On tho passage out theatrical performances were held, and a paper called tho Broomhall Gazette was published. The health of the passengers was excellent throughout, but one of tho crew, named Spero Andrlck, died of apoplexy. ' Touching the Broomhall’s trip out, we find that she has made the run from port to port In 88 days, and from land to land la 75 days, a performance which, considering the wretched start she had, must be considered excellent. The weather after leaving the Ciiannel was very fine, but when running down her easting she encountered some terrific weather, as will be seen by tho report. From the captain’s log and from an interesting article compiled by one of the saloon passengers, Mr. J. Louth, we find that the Broomhall commenced her voyage on tho 2nd April. Cast off the tug off Beachy Head, and was seven days beating down Channel under close-reefed canvas, hard westerly gales being encountered. After passing the Lizards on the Bth of April, experienced variable southerly winds till sighting tho Island of Madeira on the 17th. On the following day found tho north-east trades, which; were moderate, and carried them into lat. Sdeg, N, Spoke the ship Eaton Hail, bound to Sydney for London same day. After losing the N.E. trades, experienced light variable weather till latitude Ideg. N. was reached on the 3rd May, and then the first of the S.E. trades were felt. Crossed the Equator on tho 4th May, in longitude 21deg. IV., 82 days out. The S.E. trades, which were light and fine, with a lot of southing in them, wore lost on tho 15‘.h May in latitude 26deg. S., and after a day’s light weather, tho " bravo west winds " commenced. On the 17th » strong gale came up from the S.IV., lasting for six hours, and on tho next day it commenced to blow another hard gale, with a very heavy sen, tho ship dipping bows under and filling the decks, besides doing some damage forward. Tho gale lasted till the 19th. Captain Bate says that although ho has crossed the South Atlantic many » time he never saw such a heavy easterly sea. It was something terrific, and the only reason that can be given for it is that the ship must have encountered tho tidal waves caused by the recent earthquake in South America; and if so, tho waves must have travelled nearly round tho whole world. The date on which the ship met those tremendous waves was on the 18th May, in latitude 34deg. S.; and tho earthquake occurred on 11th May, so that the waves took seven days to roach that latitude. Most probably the seas wont on till they broke on the eastern side of America, after coming round right from tho western side. On the 21st May sighted of Tristan d’Acunha; and next day the wind again freshened into a gale, and blew very hard, with much thunder and lightning. Next morning tho wind changed to the west, and afterwards veered round to to S. W., and blew in violent squalls, the ship running under a lower topsail and tho foresail. Crossed the prime meridian on tho 23rd, and thence till rounding the Capo of Good Hope on the 29th had strong S.IV. winds. After passing the Cape a very severe gale came on, shitting from S.IV. to N.W., with tremendous high sea, coming on board in large quantities, and filling tho main deck repeatedly, the steerage passengers having had to bo battened down. Crozct Islands were passed on tho 3rd Juno, and on tho 6tU of tho same month a perfect hurricane was encountered from N.W. round to S. W,, blowing away the lower fore and main topsails. The ship was running before it, and again and again was she pooped, each time the sea filling the decks on a level with tho taffrail. But tho ship rode through It gallantly, and always shook herself free before tho next sea could be upon her ; and although Captain Bate had groat fears for the safety of his vessel, on more than one occasion during tho tempest, she rode through it bravely, coming out of the rough ordeal with scarcely any dam’ge except tho loss of a few sails and portion of tho topgallant bulwarks, and also carrying away one of tho boat beams. The spare mast on the deck broke partially adrift 'luring the height of the gale, but was secured before it could do any damage. Wext evening the weather moderated, and continued fine till passing Tasmania on the 20th, when tho wind suddenly shifted to 1V.5.1V., and blew with terrific fury, causing a terrible sea to rise, with fierce squalls.. Tho ship rolled most fearfully, and the main deck for hours was continually full of water, so much so that quantities found Its way into the saloon and steerage passenger’s cabins, although everything was battened down. The gale went down on tho 22nd, and on Tuesday, tho 28th, sighted Cape Farewell, where she was becalmed for twenty-four hours, this being succeeded by a strong N.E. wind, which lasted until midnight on the 28th. Arrived off tho Heads at midnight on Friday last, and anchored in port at 3.30 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The Broomhall will bo entered at the Customs tills morning. Messrs. Levin and Co. are her agents.
