We notice by our Australian telegrams, dated Melbourne, 3rd instant, the arrival of the Emperor, brig, and Adelphoi, barque, at Newcastle, from this port, after a passage of 26 days and 17 days respectively. The barque Union, which sailed same day as Emperor, and barques Queensland and Syren same time as Adelphoi, had not arrived at Newcastle up to that date. _ , T The schooner Alert arrived at Hokitika on June 4th, from Lyttelton. She will return to port timber laden from Hokitika. The barque John Knox has arrived at Sydney alter a passage of 23 days. The barque Joliua has sailed from Sydney for Lyttelton same day, viz, June 3rd. ~ . . Favored by a favorable breeze, the barques Australian Sovereign, Mary Blair, and Hopeful for Newcastle, N.S.W, in ballast, took their departure from port yesterday mornlug. The Australian Sovereign weighed anchor about 9 a.m, quickly followed by the Mary Blair, the Hopeful being a short time behind hand. All three barques being noted for their sailing qualities, their arrival at Newcastle will be anxiously looked for by those interested in shipping matters. A good race is anticipated. ARRIVAL OF THE LANARKSHIRE. A ship was signalled yesterday morning about 10 a.m., and about I p.m., the Lanarkshire number was run up. Shortly after 4 p.m. the s.s. Gazelle proceeded with the Health Officer, agent, &0., to visit the ship. As the vessel was several miles outside the heads, the steamer was not alongside till past 5. All was found to be well on board. Ihe Lanarkshire is not an immigrant ship, but brings nineteen passengers, a list ot whom will be lound elsewhere. She is a line iron ship, built at Glasgow; is only two years old, belongs to Messrs T. Lowe and Co, of Glasgow, and was chartered by Messrs Shaw, Savlfle and Co. to make this trip her first to New Zealand—as she has been hitherto employed in the Last India trade. Her saloon, though small, is comfortable, “ buttheaccommodation forhersecondandthirdclass passengers is excessively bad, being a mere dingy hole, until little light and less ventilation. There has also been a great deficiency ot stores and water during the passage. We believe that it is usually the custom for a vessel to take provisions for 150 days, but in this case before sixty days were passed a great many things were utterly run out of. There was no suet, no pickles, no oatmeal, no cheese, and only three quarts of water allowed per diem during the whole voyage for the second and third class passengers; and out of that they had to find that necessary for cooking. Towards the end, as the easterly winds continued, this small allowance was reduced to two quarts per day. The flour was of excessively bad quality. At the end of two months the candles lor the passengers were all expended, and they had to either go without a light or use slush lights. There Is a good deal of just indignation amongst the passengers from these causes. The following is the captain’s report:—Left Gravesend on March 2oth, and the Start on the 23rd. Had light winds till the N.E. trades were caught In lat 29 9 N, long 21.56 W. The Equator was crossed on Saturday, April 17th, in long 25.50 W, and the S E. trades met with in lat 2.15 S, long 25.17 W. on April 21st. They were lost again in 24 S. The Meridian of die Cape was passed on May 23rd in long 19.15 E. sixty days Jtrom land. Ran down easting in from 44 to 48 S. Sighted the Snares at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, and was off Otago on Wednesday. The heads were made early yesterday morning. The passage was thus made in lie days from Gravesend, and 107 from the Start. The weather was very variable during the passage, alternating from calms to heavy gules. On May Bth a very severe squall struck the ship, carrying away the inner jib, upper and lower main topsail, and mizen topsail, top gallant sail, and royal, and splitting the foresail to ribbons. On June 29th, In lat 47 S., longitude 142 E., there was a tremendous southerly gale, lasting three days. Easterly winds prevailed during the latter part of the passage, and there was much thick weather. The ship Glengaber, bound from Iquique to Liverpool, was spoken on the 22nd ot April. The Lanarkshire was towed up the harbor last night by the Gazelle, and dropped anchor at 7.30 p.m. oil Diamond Harbor.
