She left the former port on Tuesday morning, called at Picton, and experienced a strong north-west breeze across. She returns to tho same ports to-day. The steamer Taiaroa, with the San Francisco mail, left Onehunga yesterday morning, and will arrive hero to-morrow. Owing to the heavy downpour of rain yesterday, there was very little done in connection with shipping matters. ARRIVAL OP THE JESSIE REALM AN PROM LONDON, The clipper ship Jessie Headman, from London, which w© have previously reported as being anchored at the Heads, was towed into harbor yesterday morning by the Union Company's steamer Wellington, and at once berthed at the wharf. The ship was boarded by Pilot Holmes on Tuesday evening, and brought close into the lighthouse, where the anchor was let go, as it was found almost Impossible to beat in. Early yesterday morning the steamer Wellington, from Picton, was seen coming across the Strait, and Pilot Holmes suggested to Captain Kennedy that it wonld be prudent to taka a tow as there was every indication of a strong breeze springing up from the northward. The master saw the sense of the pilot's suggestion, and accordingly gave orders to have the signal hoisted for a tug. The steamer at once answered the signal, and steamed alongside and towed her in as above. It is fortunate for tho ship that the suggestion of tho pilot was acted upon, as without a doubt the ship would have been driven out to sea again with the strong north-west gale that sprang up iu the forenoon. Of the Jessie Roadman’s voyage there is nothing particular to record. For the first two months nothing but a succession of light variable winds and doldrums were met with. The latter part of the passage she. however, showed those on board that she ceuld sail if she was favored with anything like a breeze, Frequently, according to the mate’s log, the ship logged twelve and thirteen knots, which, after being two months in the water, is remarkably good going. We cull the following feWgarticulars regarding her passage from the mate's log Left London on August 10th, and experienced floe weather down the Channel, with the winds from the west and south-west. Landed the pilot off the Lizards on the 13th, and had west and south-west winds up to the 22nd, from thence fine weather till picking up the north-east trades in lat. 31deg. north and long. 19deg. west, on tho 30th. They were lost in 10deg. north on the 12th September, and were on the whole very light and indifferent. Crossed tho equator on the 20fch September in 1610 west. The south-east trades, such as they were, were picked up a few days later, and were lost again on October 4th in lat. 27deg- south, long. 29deg. west. Crossed the meridian of Greenwich on October 12th, While in tho vicinity of the Cape of Good Hope fell in with a breeze of wind in 40deg, south and lldeg. cast; no damage was, however, done to the ship. The Cape was rounded on the 13th October, in 41deg. south. Fine weather was experienced until making Tasmania, when several hard gales were encountered, principally from the west. On the Bth instant a tremendous sea broke on board, which stove in the two quarter boats, carried away a portion of her trigallant bulwarks, damaged the woodwork that protects the steering gear, washed two pig houses overboard, also a couple of hen coops, started a large horse box which was thoroughly well stayed on the main deck, and did other trilling damage. It was with difficulty that the occupier of the horse box, a splendid Clydesdale horse, was saved from being seriously injured, or even kept from being washed overboard altogether. Very great praise is due to the chief and second officers for their exertions. This, however, was tho only gale worth mentioning that was experienced during the whole of the passage. From this date fresh westerly and nor'-westerly winds were met with. Cape Farewell was made on Sunday, and the ship arrived off the Heads on Monday morr. ing. The Jessie Readman brings only a few pas^ ei] gets, there beingno Government immigrants on >, o ard For the last week her master. Captain Kennedy ha been almost entirely confined to bis bed through 11] ness. Tho ship brings a general cargo, and come consigned to Messrs. AV*. and G. an d Co.
