The barque Joliba arrived in harbor on Saturday morning at one o'clock, from Sydney. She lel't that port on September 19th, experienced light easterly winds till the 20th ult, then N.N.E. and S.W. till the 28th; passed Cape Farewell on the 29th, then moderate northerly winds; passed through the Straits on the 30th, then light N.W. winds, arriving- as above. She was berthed at the Tunnel Wharf, and bulk will be broken this morning. The handsome brigantine Roderick Dhu, Capt John McKenzie, arrived in Harbor on Saturday afternoon, after a fine passage of three days from the Kaipara. Her cai go consists of 120,000 feet timber, consigned to Matheson's Agency. She is a new vessel, and was built by Meßsrs McQuarrie and MeCallum, of Auckland. Captain McKenzie reports leaving the Kaipara last Wednesday, at noon, experienced N.E. winds on the passage; passed the Seabird, britrantine, hence for Melbourne, and Marmion, ship, ior Newcastle, off Waipapa Point. She wbb berthed at No 3 wharf on Saturday to discharge cargo. ARRIVAL OF THE WAIKATO. On Saturday it was currently reported that the Waikato was on the coast, and later in the afternoon it was ascertained that a telegram had been received, Et&Ung that the Invercargill—a new ship cf Patrick Henderson's —had arrived at Dunedin, and had spoken the Waikato off the Snares on the 2Ptli September, consequently many gentlemen Uterested —amongst whom we noticed Messrs Murray-Ayosley, Coster, Wilson, Stead, and J,

Gould—arrived at Port by the early train yesterday, and ou ascertaining on the arrival of the Bruce that a full-rigged ship was oil' the Heads, chartered that steamer to proceed to the vessel, which proved to be the Waikato, and tow her in. The weather was most inclement, heavy squalls from theS.VV. prevailing throughout the morning, but in spite of the bad weather a numerous party, consisting of the above-named gentlemen, the health and custom-house ollicers, harbor authorities, reporters. &c, proceeded outside iu the steamer. On arrival at the Heads the vessel was dimly visible iu the distance, and at least seven miles were traversed before she was reached. On arriving alongside at 2 p.m. tow ropes were immediately made fast to the steamer, and in spite of the adverse wind good progress was made in the direction of the harbor. Proceeding on board we were glad to find that the voyage had been a most prosperous one, and that nothing serious had occurred since the vessel had left Gravesend. Our old friend Captain Rose, who comes out to be a permanent resident in Lyttelton, to act as marine superintendent for the New Zealand Shipping Company, and who was in charge as captain, gave us a hearty welcome at the gangway. He brings his family this trip, and many will be glad to hear of his permanent settlement in the province. The Waikato is one of those sliips built specially for the New Zealand Shipping Company by Mr John Blumer, of Sunderland, and is peculiarly adapted for the requirements of the colonial trade. Her model is good, and she is a fairly finished ship, having a large and handsome saloon, the panels of the cabins being of maple and teak, with gilded mouldings in good taste. This is the first trip of the Waikato to this port, but she has previously made a trip to New Zealand, having taken a valuable cargo home from Dunedin last year. We are assured she is a fast ship, and during the passage out fourteen knots an hour were several times run. She brings a general cargo of considerable value. She is fitted with a patent windlass, an excellent condenser, and steam winch, and her 'tween decks being seven feet six inches in height is admirably adapted for carrying emigrants. The voyage out was made in 88 days from land to land, and 98 days from Gravesend to Lyttelton, the emigrants being 100 days on board. As a whole, the Commissioners appear well satisfied with the vessel, but there was a little discontent ou board, owing to there being several dietary scales for the immigrants on board. The captain was given one at Gravesend different from that issued to the immigrants. The latter scale, though equally abundant, not being of the specified articles on their list caused some little discontent. However, in spite of this little difference, Captain Rose and his officers seemed to have succeeded in gaining general goodwill. It may he here mentioned parenthetically that all the vessels of* the New Zealand Shipping Company are in future to have painted ports. Divine service was conducted on each Sunday by Captain Rose. Proceeding to the single women's compartment we found it was in a very creditable state of cleanliness. The matron, Mrs Agnes Smith, is an old visitor to Lyttelton, having been here previously in the Blue Jacket and Monarch; Mrs Eliott acted as snbmatron. The girls—s 6in all—are a good class of immigrants, principally domestic servants, a great many of them being Irish. In the married people's compartment there are 43 families, and we noticed among them a great many healthy children. The Roman Catholic portion of the immigrants complained that they could get no substitute ou Fridays for the meat which they could not make use of. Those in this compartment are English, Irish, and Scotch, equally divided, and spoke highly of the captain and doctor. Three deaths and six births occurred in this compartment during the passage, Dr Allnutt, the surgeon, who was out here formerly in the Queen of Nations, seems to have been a general favorite throughout the ship, and also Mr Caborne, the chief ofiicer, whom we formerly knew here as chief mate ot the Rakaia.

The following is the captain's report :—Hauled out of dock on June 24th, adjusted compasses at Greenhithe, and proceeded to Gravcsend, where the immigrants were embarked. Left on the 27th, and met the N.Z.S. Go's ship Waitangi coming up the river. The pilot left the ship at 11.30 a.m. on the 30th June, off Start Point, the wind then being S.S.W. After beating about in the Channel for thirty-six hours, departure was taken from the Lizard ou July Ist. On July 2nd, signalled the ship Essex. Thence !o the 7th had westerly winds, when in lat 36.31 N, and long 18.24 W, signalled the City of Adelaide, from London to Adelaide, and kept company with her for two days. On July 13th, in lat 18.51 N, long 25.18 W. spoke barque Florence Danvers from Newcastle to Valparaiso, 23 days out. In 40 N. caught N.E. winds, which led to the N.Jfl. trades, and which lasted to 13 N, when they lelt us on July 16th. Abreast of Madeira on July 18th, in lat 8.55 N, long 26 23 W. spoke tne British ship Itajmaual, 95 days out, from Calcutta to London. From N.E. trades to Line had light and variable winds. The Equator was crossed on July 2'.)th, in 23 W. On 31st, in 5.38 S, 26.38 W, signalled the British ship Palawan, ot Liverpool, from Adelaide to London, 61 days out. Had S.E. trades from line. They were exceptionally strong at the commencement, but they were light and variable towards the close, and finally left us in 19 S,: thence to the meridian of the Cape, which was passed on August 28th, in 39.17 S, 1.19 W. the winds were variable. Her easting was run down in 43, the weather being as a whole moderate. On September 23rd passed the meridian of Tasmania at 7 a.m., and on the 28th were abreast of Snares at 7 a.m., and signalled the shiplnvercargill (one of Patrick Henderson's new ships), from Glasgow to Dunedin, 88 days out. The Peninsula was made on Saturday morning early, and the same night a heavy S.W. gale was experienced. The steamer Bruce took the vessel in tow at 2 p.m. on Sunday, and she was towed to her anchorage oft the town by 650 p.m. last night. We notice the "Waikato's men were all in uniform, and we cannot too warmly commend the pains that have evidently been taken to train the men in boat exercise generally. During the voyage they were mustered every week and exercised, to render them perfect in case of emergency.
