MISCELLANEOUS SHIPPING.

The West Australian, from London, has made a very fair passage, and upon reaching the anchorage on Thursday at tide time she was towed into harbour. Captain Andrew reports leaving London on November 5. Light airs predominated during the passage of the British Channel. On the 11th she was off the Lizard, where a fine west-north-west wind was fallen in with, and this continued until she reached inshore of the Island of Madeira. The favourable wind caused a rapid run to the north-east trades, and on December 4 the line was crossed in 28° 3O' W. Here the weather became light and variable, with occasional moderate south east winds, which took the barque to lat. 17° S. A strong gale then from north-east was accompanied by a heavy south west sea, in which the vessel laboured furiously, but no serious damage was done. About 200 miles north-west of Tristan there was another interval of light baffling winds, So provoking in delaying progress that 14 days were spent before the craft passed the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope in 43°30' S. There followed an excellent run down the easting, and on January 24 she was off the Leuwin, where three days boisterous weather was experienced. Subsequently a fair wind set in, and it continued until within 200 miles of Cape Borda, when east winds again brought the ship on a bowline. On Wednesday night, at 8 o'clock, the Borda light was sighted, and although it was a coarse dirty night, the master shaped his course and kept the ship head-reaching all night Towards I0 the next morning she stood in towards Glenelg, dipped the ensign to H.M.S. Pearl, and headed up for the anchorage, where she was boarded before noon. She has a few assisted passengers, who are in excellent health.
