Yesterday morning at 7.30 a.m. a ship was signalled outside the Heads, and her number being run up she proved to be tlie Endymion from London. She x-an up the harbor with a ime N.E. breeze, and anchored oil the Sticking Point. The health officer (Dr Donald) proceeded on board amt cleared tlie ship. On going off’ to the vessel your reporter found she was a nice little iron clipper ship built on the Clyde in 1870, 759 tons register. She is consigned to the N.Z.S. Co, mid was 108 days In making the passage. During the iirst and latter part of tlie passage she experienced line weather, but in running down her easting she met with strong gales and heavy sea. Bhe must be a smart little ship, as in spite of her long passage site passed ttxe ship Douglas for Wellington (a much larger ship, and having immigrants on board, in con-iderably better trim than tlie Endymion, she being very deep) no less than three limes, and has arrived before her. Snc brings thirty passengers, whose names will be found in another part of our columns, and some fine Lincoln sheep for Mr Lysaght. She has also the greater portion of the plant for tlie Lyiteltou Gas Company. Amongst her passengers are Messrs Hoyle and Mills, who came from Rochdale, near Manchester, for the purpose .of erecting cording, spinning, weaving, and finishing machinery for tlie Canterbury Fibre Company. The machinery also arrived by this vessel. She is a teetotal ship and the passengers as a whole seem well pleased with passage. Mr Trumble appears to have gained the good will of nearly all of his fellow passengers; that, gentleman conducted divine service every Sunday, and was always ready to lend a helping hand to all. We append a short account of til ■ voyage given by the saloon passengers. The Endymion left the S.W. India Docks on July 2nd, and took her departure from the North Foreland on the oth July. She had a very fine run down the Channel, and across the Bay of Biscay. On July IGth a sailmaker, Wm.
