BY ELECT BIG TELEGRAPH. ARRIVED. Lyttelton: April 19th, 1,30 p.m, Claud Hamilton, from Dunedin; 2 p.m, Rangatira, from Wellington; 3.10 p.m. Wellington, from Dunedin. Sailed—Wallace for Oamarn ; Margaret Campbell for Oamaru ; Tararua for Melbourne. The three-masted schooner Margaret Campbell sailed for Oamaru tbis afternoon tt> load grain for Northern Porta. She dropped down this morning with the ebb tide, and anchored opposite the Pilot Station, there not being sufficient wind to enable her to proceed on her voyage. The Wallace left for Oamaru at 10 this morning. The Tararua, for Melbourne, spiled at 4.40 p.m. The Circular Saw Company’s s.s. Lord Ashley, Captain Wheeler, started from the Queen’s wharf at 2 p.m. yesterday afternoon, on a trial trip round the harbor. There was a large party on board, comprising most of the leading merchants and citizens of Wellington, with their lady friends. The steamer proceeded as far as Petoni, when the anchor was dropped, and the company retired to the saloon, where an elegant dejeuner a la fourchette was tastefully laid out. After ample justice had been done to u most sumptuous repast, Mr W. B. Rhodes, in a highly complimentary speech, proposed the health of Mr John Martin, and success to the Circular Saw Company. The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm. After the cheering had subsided, Mr Martin returned thanks on behalf of the company and himself, and said that it would ever be his constant study to provide the best possible accommodation for the )travelling public. The health of Capt. Wheeler and the officers of the vessel was then drank with all the honors, and Capt. Wheeler made a suitable reply. The anchor was then weighed again, and the good ship proceeded on her way round the Island towards Wellington. The engines, which were prepared by Mr Mills, worked most satisfactorily, the engines making 70 revolutions per minute, with a pressure of 191hs steam, and a vacuum of 26 inches. The speed of the vessel was at the rate of nine knots per hour. The machinery, which has had a thorough overhaul, worked smoothly ; and the boiler, which has also been repaired, is now in first-class condition. The saloon and cabins have all been thoroughly cleaned, repainted, redecorated, and refurnished ; and the Lord Ashley is now in a better condition than she has been since trading on the coast. Mr Nancarrow, the Government engineer, was on board, and expressed himself as well satisfied with the manner in which the repairs had been effected ; with the working of the machinery, and the condition of the boiler,— Wellington Independent, April 9.
