The Ocean Chief left Lands End on the 22nd of July, and experienced chiefly light S.W. winds as far as the 56th degree of North latitude, where she fell in with the north-east trades. The ship was delayed about six weeks in the tropics by light variable winds and calms, otherwise she would have made & splendid passage. The Ocean Chief, as is generally known, is really a clipper vessel, and on one occasion, according to the log, she ran 335 miles in one day, and for six days subsequently she made an averge of 300 miles per day. Off the S.E. coast of Tasmania she encountered light foul winds and calms, which continued until passing Sydney Heads, when light southerly winds prevailed nearly the whole of the way to Cape Moreton, which point she reached on the 31st ultimo.
