W. and G- Turnbull and Co.’s schooner May, Captain Plumley, arrived in harbor yesterday morning, and was at once berthed at the wharf. The passage has been rather a long one, which is accounted for by a prevalence of adverse and light winds. The May left Hongkong on the sth of September, and had light variable winds across the China Sea; on the 12th September passed between Bashee Islands; on the 16th and 17tn was on the west and south sides of a typhoon, the wind blowing a heavy gale from the north, veering to west and south, with the glass very low. On 3rd October—Eourupig Island bearing five miles west —six natives came alongside the schooner in two small canoes, to exchange some fish and cocoanuts for tobacco and matches. Easterly winds were then experienced until crossing the Equator on the sth of November; on the 11th was on tho position assigned os Brogham Reef, bat could see nothing of it from the masthead. Santa Cruz was sighted on tho 22th November, and from the 25th met with moderate northerly winds and fine weather. Stephens Island was mad© on Sunday afternoon, and Pencarrow at 6 o’clock yesterday morning, arriving in port at 0 a.m. On the 12th November she spoke the schooner Navis, of Sydney, from the Solomon Islands, bound to New Caledonia. We thank the chief officer 1 for report, &c.
