The Zealandia is reported, in the European Mail, to have been spoken on March 10, steering S.E. The records of the voyages of most of the ships which have arrived here from London and Liverpool during the last week or two show, in matters of winds and weather, a singular similarity of detail, and in so far as the departures in January, and February from those ports for Australia are concerned, 1872 bids fair to be known as the year of long passages. Two exf remes of weather seem to have been met with — namely, very heavy gales from west and south-west at the commence ment of the voyage, and light contrary winds towards the close. As an instance of the severity and long continuance of the gales in the North Atlantic during the months men tioned, it may be stated that Captain Merry man, of the ship Essex, which has just arrived from London, reports that off Cape Finisterre he supplied a vessel with pro visions which had been 40 days out from Liverpool for New York.
