The " Derwentwater," owing to a succession of contrary winds has made a long passage, being 115 days from land to land. Had she met with ordinary winds, as between the Cape and New Zealand, she would have made a quick run, being only thirty-four clays' from the longitude of the Cape. The passengers speak very highly of the ship and Capt. Thomson, her commander, to whom they have presented a testimonial expressive of their appreciation of the uniform kindness and attention Avhich they have received from him and his officers since leaving England. The following, taken from the log, will prove interesting and account for the detention of the good ship : —lßth July.—Weighed anchor from Gravesend, with a strong breeze from the westward ; and anchored in Margate Roads, blowing hard from the same quarter. 20th.—Got under-weigh and turned into the Downs. On 21st, at daylight, again got under-weigh, with a strong breeze from the west south-west, beating down Channel. On 23rd, off the Isle of Wight—wind, continuing from the south-west.
