The ship Olive, which has been expected for some time, was signalled yesterday forenoon, and towed up in the afternoon, by the tug Geelong as far as the - powder ground, where she came to anchor, having on board twenty-five tons of powder, which was stowed in a proper magazine constructed for that purpose. The "’Olive is a fine new vessel built at Sunderland by W. Pearl and Son, to the order of H. Ellis and Co., of London, and is chartered by Shew, Saville and Co. She brings a full cargo of 1,500 tons, and twenty-five passengers. The Olive has unde a rather long passage of 110 days from Gravesend which may be attributed to head winds in the Channel and very poor north-east trades She left Gravesend on the 20th of October and, meeting strong head winds, anchored in the Downs until the 24th j thence to clearing the land on the 27th had easterly and southerly winds, taking her last departure from the Lizard : thence W. and S.W. winds until the sth of November, when it shifted to the north, and continued until picking up the N.E. t.aies on the 16th N . vember in latitude 2N; the trades were poor and light, and gave out in 10 N.; from thence a spell of doldrums until the 3rd of December, ou which day she got the 5.13. trades in lat. 22 S. The S.E, trades were good, and continued until reaching lat. 32 S., long. 33 W , on the lath of December After losing the trades she "of the steady westerlies, which continued to the Snares, chi- fly hanging to the N.W., occasionally veering to W.S.W. On the 23rd December passed Tristran d’Acuuha, and crossed the meridian of Greenwich on the 25th, and that of th> Cape on the 30th j passed the Snares on the 6lh inst

The following vessels were spoken during the voyage : December 9th, ship Pcterboro'r from London to Calcutta, in lat. 18.49 S., long, 27.58 W • December 25, British ship Dolbartt u Castle, from Bremmer Haven to Rangoon, lat. 3.58 S lono--27.56 W, ’ ° - THE CITY OP SAN FRANCISCO AND THE MIKADO. Captain Lachlan, commander of the steamship City of San Francisco, now in port, takes exception to the report of the recent passage of the mail steamer Mikado from S.iu Francisco, in which our reporter dished up, from information received, a lively account of an ocean race between those two powerful mail steamers, the City of Fan Francisco and the Mikado. We are now assured that no race took place, such being against the rules of the Paoiflc Mail Steamship Company. The orders are to steam twelve knots, if deemed prudent by the captain, hut not to exceed this pace. On her passage down from San Francisco the City averaged twelve knots throughout the passage, and the Mikado eleven and a-half. After leaving Auckland harbor Captain Lachlan allowed the Mikado, during the night-time, to pilot him clear of tbe coast, ui acquainted with the same, but when daylight ap’ peared, he left the Mikado to pursue the even teu«r of her way, and saw no more of her until she followed him into Sydney harbor some few hours after his arrival. Regarding the steaming capacities of the two vessels, the following statement will give some ideaMikako left San Francisco 12.30 a.m 10th December, 1875, arrived at Honolulu 7 p.m!! 17th December—time, seven days 18h. 30min.; left Honolulu at 3 a.m , 18th December, arrived at Auckland Ist January, Sydney time 10.15 pan.—time 18 days 19h. 15min.; left Auckland 2nd January, Sydney time 1.50 p.m., arrived at Sydney 3.15 a m 7th January—time, 4 days 12h. 25miu.; total running time of Mikado, 26 days 2h. lOmin.
