Experienced moderate fine weather, with variable winds, during the passage. We thank her purser (Mr Barb or) for report and files. One of tae Wellington papers—the ‘Tribune’ —is utterly mistaken in reckoning the cases of the Marion and Oueco as instances of the dilatoriness or faulty accommodation in loading and discharging vessels at Port Chalmers, which is quite bad enou<h, we are free to admit. The ‘Tribune’ states that “the Marion, although she had only two or three hundred tons of cargo to dischar. e at Port Chalmers, did not put in an appearance in Wellington till six or seven weeks after her arrival south, and the Oneco now furnishes another instance that the Otagans believe in ‘ more haste, less speed,’ with a vengeance. She arrived at Port Chalmers on the 28th of September, four weeks ago, and yet, although only* a portion of her cargo is for that port, her departure from it for Wellington is not yet reported. In contrast with this, we have the fact that the May, which arrived here from Foochow with a full cargo on the 24th September, discharged all her cargo, took in ballast, and had cleared out again by the 7th of October. Similar dispatch was user! iu the discharging and ballasting of ihe Euterpe.” The facts are these, and perhaps after a perusal of them, our contemporary will admit that he was misinformed :—The Marion discharged a part of her cargo into lighters at the port, after which she was towed to Dunedin, where she finished discharging. She then returned to the port, where she had to wait for near 1 y a week for a fair wind, and got only as far as the Heads, where she again anchored three day's before getting awav. The Oneco discharged in the stream, but having cargo for three different ports a great deal of it was mixed, and had to be sorted. After discharging, she was detained for waut of a crew, and then had to wait until last Sunday for a fair wind, as Captain Henry determined not to tow out, having a crew shipped for the run to Wellington.
