She was brought up the harbor by Captain Wood, and anchored off Ripa Island. The Health Officer, Dr Donald, proceeded on board and pasaed the ship. She brings no immigrants, but has a full cargo and sixteen passengers. Captain Mordue, her commander, was herein the ship Maori in 1870, and, it will be remembered, greatly interested himself in New Zealand flax; he went to China with New Zealand produce from this port. The Elizabeth Graham belongs to Newport. She •was built at Middlesboro' in 1869 on the composite principle, and was last season chartered by the New Zealand Shipping Company for Otago, but was purchased by Shaw, Savill, and Co. She was formerly employed in the India and China trade, and is classed A 1 for fourteen years; She is in fine trim, and her sailing qualities are good. Last year, on the passage home from Otago, the beat both the Zelandia and Christian McAusland, the one by three and the other by eight days. She has on board three Leicester rams and four ewes for Mr H. J: Hall, of Leeston; None died on the passage, and they arrive in splendid condition. She also brings two smooth skinned Berkshire pigs for Mr Hunter, of Wellington, which are remarkably fine animals, and two fine setters aud a litter of five pups. The following is the Captain's report : Left Gravesend on the 16th aud the Lizards on the 18th July, had light, variable winds to the N.E. trades, which were caught about 2 north of Madeira and lost again in 12 north. They were very li' r ht. The line was crossed in 15 west on the 23rd August, The S,E. trades were met with 1 north of the line, and were very shy, not enabling the vessel to weather Trinidad, but having to pass 2 degrees to westward. Sighted Tristan d'Achuna the 11th Sept, had light easterly winds to Cape, the latitude of which was passed on the 23rd September, and the meridian of CapeLewin on October 17th, light fair winds being experienced during this portion of the passage. From the 6th to the 10th October experienced strong S.W. gale. Sighted Snares on November 2nd. Passed the meridian of Tasmania on the 27th October, in latitude 49 south. Ran down Eastings between 40 and 42. On the 3rd, strong northerly gale, and under low canvas, and on the 4th made land to the south of Tiniaru. On sth, rounded Banks'Peninsula, and on the 6th, at 8 a.m., was off the Heads, but was blown off the land by the N.W. wind. Made the Heads at 5 a.m. on the fth: took the pilot on board at six, and in falling calm anchored off Pilot Station; favourable wind again springing up, got down as far as Ripa Island, where the ship was brought up, having powder on board. Had a fine weather passage throughout.
