ARRIVAL OF H.M.S. NYMPHE. Considerable surprise was manifested in Port Chalmers yesterday afternoon when the signal of a “ man-of-war to the northward ” was ran up at the flagstaff; as although it was knOvTP that the Nymphe had left Auckland for the South, no intimation had been given that she would visit this port. Shortly after 4 p.m. the Nymphe hove in sight, and crossed the bar at 4.30 in charge of Pilot Kelly, anchoring off Rocky Point. The Nymphe has been in commission about fifteen months, during which time she has been employed cruising from Western Australia to the Solomon lalands, Sydney, and Fiji, at which latter place she made her headquarters for five months, taking short cruises to the neighboring groups; thence to Auckland, at which port she arrived on the 19th of April; remained there until the 14th inst, when she left under orders to visit the Auckland Islands, Campbell Islands, and Chatham Islands, for toe purpose of ascertaining whether any castaway seamen were upon them; from thence she proceeds direct to Wellington, being under instructions to arrive at that port by the 14th of next month for the opening of Parliament. A description of the Nymphe has appeal ed in these columns. She carries a complement of 170 petty officers and seamen. The Nymphe left Auckland at 1.30 p.m. on the 14th instant, with a moderate S.W. wind; passed the East Cape next evening and came along the coast under easy steam; passed Cape Palhser on the 17th; sighted Lyttelton light at 5.41 p.m. on the 19th, and passed Banks’s Peninsula same night, having experienced strong variable winds; was off Waikouaiti at 4 a,m. yesterday, when she encountered a terrific S.W. gale, with high confused SE. sea. Captain Suttie decided to run for shelter and fill up coal instead of calling at the Bluff, owing to her time being limited. At the time she met the gale she had only two furnaces going, and her propeller was making forty revolutions, She Darely made headway, only from one and a-half to two knots being logged. Fire was then got up in the third furnace and she sighted the Heads at 11.30 a.m. She will remain here just long enough to take on board about 150 tons of coal. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS.
