Left Hobart Town on the 15th. and experienced light westerly winds to within twenty miles of the Peninsula; sighted land on Thursday last, and thence up the coast had light airß and pfjini, arriving as above, thus making the passage

She brings about 20 lons of cargo for this port, aud sailed South this afternoon. ARRIVAL OF THE THOMAS S. STOWE. This vessel was signalled on Friday, and on Saturday morning ran inside the Hoads and anchored. When her number was hoisted there was great speculation as to where shej could bo from, but as a vessel with a similar name was reported in the home papers as loading for New Zealand from Liverpool, it was thought she might prove to be from that port. On proceeding to the barque it was seen she had a list to starboard, and on hailing her we were iniormed by tlie captain that she was bound from Adelaide to London with a cargo of wool, tallow, wheat, &c, and had to put into this port in distress as in a heavy gale on the Hth of July the cargo had sliifted. and the best set of sails blown away. The barque is an iron one, and owned by Messrs Hargreaves, Fergusson, and Jackson, of Liverpool, The following is the captain’s report;—Lelt Adelaide light vessel at noon on July 2nd, aud passed through Backstair Passage on the 4th, had a favorable run to lat 48’24 S ; long 152 E, which position was attained on the 11th, at 3 p.m. The ship was then running before a W.S.W. gale, which increased very rapidly, and there was a very high cross and dangerous sea. The vessel shipped a heavy sea over the port quarter flooding the cabin, aft deck house, and main deck, washing away and smashing the topgallant bulwarks, poop ladders, pigsties, water-casks, &c, and carrying them overboard From the dangerous manner in which the sers were running, was compelled to lay the ship to, but before the sails could be secured the wind came on with hurricane fury, blowing fore topsails and fore topmast staysail to shreds, all being new sails. When the vessel was laying to the hurricane increased to that degree in one violent puff as to throw the vessel almost on her beam ends, and the danger was only avoided by letting fly the main topsail sheet, which righted her in a measure, but the cargo had shifted. To keep the vessel more out of the trough of the sea, paid out bight of coir hawser forward, and placed canvas in the mizzen rigging. All night the vessel lay with her lee side buried, the sea at times making clean breaches from the forecastle along the main deck over the quarter, the hands being aft in the mizzen rigging for safety. The chief officer narrowly escaped being washed overboard.' In the merning the wind and sea as rapidly moderated as it had risen. We found that several of the bulwark stanchions were gone and started from the deck; secured the leaks as well as possible, bent other sails, and made for the nearest port, the weather not admitting of starting the hatches to trim cargo, or properly secure the leaks from the stanchions, nor allowing of any great amount of canvas being carried, except on the other tack. Experienced a fresh gale from the S.S. W., when the vessel made heavy weather rolls, and shipped a great deal of water, but this did not assist in righting her in any great degree. Experienced verv variable weather from N.N.W. to S.W. as far as Otago, but was unable to reach that port as it was blowing a fresh gale from the S.S.W., and we were not able to carry sullioient canvas owing to the list to starboard. Made Banks' Peninsula on Thursday, and arrived as above. ARRIVAL OF THE 081 ANA. The ship signalled on Friday proved to be the Oriana. On Saturday morning she was signalled inside the heads, and about 11.30 a.m. the s.s. Mullough left the wharf with the Healtli and Immigration visit was first paid to the barque Thomas S. .Stowe, and then the steamer proceeded to the ship, which was not inside the Heads as signalled, but at least two miles out. On arrival alongside all was found to be well on board, the long passage being entirely owing to adverse winds. The ship is a fine iron vessel, AAI at Lloyd’s, is ten years old, and has been employed principally in the East India trade. She is the property of Mr Wm. Orr, of Greenock, and is commanded by Captain W. Guthrie, jun. The New Zealand Shipping Company’s flag is now hoisted at the signal mast whenever a vessel belonging to or chartered by the company comes in, and this new regulation was carried into effect for the first time in the case of the Oriana. The vessel brings thirty-four souls to our shores, twenty of which are passengers, the other fourteen consisting of two families of Government immigrants named Lilley and Hurt, the heads of which are sent out by Sir Julius Vogel to be employed as engineers by the Government. The ship was in a very clean aud creditable condition, and the Health and Immigration Officers were much pleased witli the arrangements on board. Eight of the finest yearling bulls ever shipped to this colony were sent here in her; one died on the passage, and the remalner arrived in very fair condition. We hoar they arc the property of Mr Thomas Russell, of Auckland, and were bred at Dalkeith by the Duke of Buccleugh. Two lads named Cook had charge of the cattle, and had evidently taken great pains with them

The following is the captain’s report:—Left Gravesend March 29th, had moderate weather to the Lizard, which was left behind on April 3rd; experienced a S.W. gale after leaving the land; caught the N.E. trades on April 21st in lut 26 deg north and long 19 deg westylost them again on May Ist in lat 3 deg north and ion 23 deg west. The Equator was crossed ou Wednesday, May sth, thirty-seven days out. Caught S.E. trades in 8 deg south 26 deg west, and lost them again on the 16th May in 23 deg south 30 deg west. San Triuidada was sighted on the 15th May. From losing trades to the latitude of the Cape experienced very variable weather, the Cape’s meridian being passed on June 4th in 39 deg south. Kan down easting between 40 and 45 deg; had heavy weather in these latitudes. Made the Snares on the 14th July; had light variable winds up the coast; sighted Banks’ Peninsula on Thursday last, but ran off shore as there were indications of a S.E. gale. Arrived at the Heads and anchored on Saturday morning, 24th inst, thus making the passage in 117 days from Gravesend. During the passage the following ships were spoken :—On April 18th, Cape Wrath, ship, in 30deg north, isdeg west; on April 20th, the Fifeshire, ship, from Glasgow to Brisbane, in 28deg north, 18deg west; on May 6th, barque Elmstone, from London to Shanghai, in Ideg south and 21deg west; May 7th, Kobiua Dunlop, barque, from London to Auckland, in 2deg south, and 21deg west. The health of the passengers was good throughout, and one birth occurred during the voyage. The s.s. Mullough towed the ship to an anchorage offStoddart’s point on Saturday night.
