ARRIVAL .OF THE WESTERN BELLE, FROM LONDON. Thb long-expected vessel Western Bello, from London, arrived, in harbor yesterday forenoon after a lengthy passage. Sho is a fine-looking American barque of 1135 tons, and brings 2200 tons of cargo—one of the largest that has ever been brought to this port. Sho is wooden built, and far above the average stamp of the American vessels that are in the habit of visiting ns. Like most ships hailing from her country she is beautifully clean, not a spec of dirt is to bo seen about her, everything is in its place : and on board sho has the appearance of a yacht more than that of a merchantman. She is very lofty and tautlooklng. la supplied with double topsaills and topgallant sails, and is able to set on o very largo spread of canvas. It is seldom that wo are visited with a ship direct from London sailing under American colors. Tills Is the second wo believe. At first, as sho came sailing up the harbor she was taken for a Now York vessel with notions. Her cabin accommodation ia extremely good. The apartments used by Captain Fish and his wife are elegantly furnished, and has far more the appearance of a drawing-room ashore than the saloon of a ship. Her cargo consists of 1020 tons of railway material, the remainder being general. Her lengthy passage is attributed to having experienced very fine weather. It has been an uneventful one. No casualty of any description occurred during the long weary voyage. The following is the account of the passage, which was kindly, furnished us by Captain Fish: -Loft the London docks on February 20,-passed the Lizard on the 24th. Had good N.E- trades, but well from the south, which fetched her down close to the Brazilian coast. Crossed the Lino in 28 55 on March 17- The S.E. trades were fair, but too much from the southward, which caused her to beat right down. Rounded the Capo of Good Hope on April 23: was then only 76 days out. From thence nothing but a continuance of light easterly winds until making the Now Zealand coast. Captain Fish shaped a southerly course. The first land aeon was Caps Campbell. Soundings were taken off Banka Peninsula. Made Capo PaULer on Saturday evening at 0 o'clock, throe miles under his lee with a hard gale from the south. The situation was a most trying one. Orders were given to set the forotopsall and put on all sail to work her off. Every minute it was expected that the masts would be blown out of her, but the good ship weathered jtho storm cut, and by dayßght was some miles off the coast in perfect safety. She arrived off the Heads yesterday morning at daylight. Took the pilot on board at 10, and arrived here as above. The Western Bello was brought alongside the wharf during tho day, and will enter at the Customs to-day.
