PLYMOUTH, Friday.—The ship Damascus, 964
tons, Capt. Murray, belonging to Messrs. G. Thomp-
son, jun., and Co., of Leadenhall-street, has passed up
Channel for London, from Sydney. She left January 31,
rounded Cape Horn Feb. 26, crossed the line March 30, and
made the Lizard May 1-90 days. Her cargo includes 300
tons of tallow, hides, and other dead weight, with 2,500
bales of wool and sundries. The nine passengers are Capt.
and Mrs. Walker, Mr., Mrs., and Miss Puxley, Miss Bohme,
Dr. Bayldon, Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Page. She expe-
rienced moderate weather generally throughout ; passed
say 12 icebergs, and had no south-east trades, wind varying
from east to north-east. After passing the north-east trades
encountered very light winds from all quarters. During
the last 12 days in April she experienced light airs and
easterly winds, and passed a large number of ships. The
Damascus spoke March 13, lat. 30 S., long. 30.10 W., the
British ship Andromeda, 29 days from Liverpool for Cal-
cutta ; 23d, lat. 17.10 S., long. 28.20 W., the brig Ricardo,

ship Doelwijk, from Sourabaya for Rotterdam ; and April
27th, lat. 48.15 N., long. 17.54 W., the British brig Mettle,
from Rio Janeiro for Norway. The Damascus left at
Sydney the Rifleman, Duncan Dunbar, Vimeira, Cinder-
ella, Liberator, Walter Hood, Strathdon, Stornoway, Queen
of the South, and Nourmahal. The Rifleman expected to
sail February 1; the Duncan Dunbar, Vimeira, Cinderella,
and Liberator would follow. The iron clipper ship Corn-
wallis, 1,214 tons, Capt. Joseph Leeman, R.N.R., belong-
ing to Messrs. Liston, Young, and Co., of Cannon-street,
from London, March 1, bound to Sydney, was spoken
March 6, in lat. 3.0 N., long 2.42 W. She encountered
westerly winds in the Channel, and a severe gale in the
Bay of Biscay, accompanied by a heavy sea, which broke
adrift several casks of acids stowed on deck, but did no
further damage. Passengers and crew all well. The bark
Eaglet, 392 tons register, Captain Joseph Ginder, belong-
ing to Messrs. F. Campbell and Co., was 18 miles W.S.W.
off Start Point yesterday morning, under all plain sail ;
wind, southerly, light. She left Cochin on the 17th of
December, for London, with a cargo of oil and coir, and
spoke, March 14, lat. F5O N., len. 20.38 W., the bark Ham-
let, 23 days from London, for Madras ; April 4, lat. 28.2 N;,
lon. 37.8 W., the brig African, 17 days from Cardiff, \for
Jamaica ; and May 2, lat. 48.20 W., lon. 10.50 W., the bark
Lady Prudhoe, bound to the westward. The ship Colonial
Empire, 1,305 tons, Capt. James Ross, belonging to Messrs.
George Thompson and Co., of Leadenhall-street, has
passed up Channel for London, with a cargo of 500
tons of iron bark timber, 3,416 bales wool, and sundries,
valued in all at £139,100, with 27 cabin and 11 steer-
age passengers. She left Sydney the 27th of January,
and on the 6th February, when to the westward of Anti-
podes Island, fell in with ice, and continued to pass bergs
daily (an occurrence almost unexampled) until near Cape
Horn, which was rounded on the 25th. The line was crossed
the 28th of March. Frequent protracted calms occurred in
the tropics ; light south-east trades ; long variables on the
Equator ; the north-east trade winds were so strong that
when the ship was in lat. 34 N. her longitude was 50 W.
A large number of ships were beating against the easterly
winds subsequently experienced.
