She will compete at the regatta there on the 17th, and ; thence proceed to Wellington, where she will run i for the N.Z.S. Co'scup, after which she Trill return to Auckland. Messrs Niccol and Hulrne. aud ! their captain and crew gained golden opinions during their stay in Lyttelton, and a number of gentlemen went to see them oil'. It was past one before this smartest of cutters tripped her anchor, and began beating down the harbor against a light N.E. wind, aud many were the speeches made and thetoasts drunk as ihe Secret neared t_»- Heads. At parting hearty cheers were givfn ar.d the visitors returned to shore, sorry to part with such geninl friends, but wishing the Secret all speed to her next haven, and the tiest success there. The heads were cleared about 2.35 p.m, and as the wind was S.E outside tbe gallant little yacht soon melted into the distance on her way North. A silk champion flag was presented to Messrs Niccol and Hulme yesterday, and hoisted prior to her departure. THE JOSEPHINE. The three-masted schooner Josephine, Captain Stahl, arrived yesterday, and anchored oft the Breakwater at 330 p.m. The Josephine is a fine barquentine of nearly 600 tons register, and is comparatively a new vessel, having b>>en built in 1874 at Waldsborough, State of Maine, and since that time has been employed in the trade to the Mediterranean and South America, this being her first trip to the Colonies. We thank Captain Stahl for the following report:—Left New York a ugust Hth, and experienced easterly winds for the first fifteen days ofthe passage, thence she had the winds from S.W. to S.E. (getting no north-east trades), and sicked up the first of the S.E. tradeß in lat 5 N. on September 24tb; crossed the Equator in long 30 W. on September 27th. then forty-four days out; experienced good S.E. trades after passing the Equator, and lost them in lat 26 S ; after losing the trades she had baffling winds for a few days, followed by light N.E. winds to lat 39 S, long 10 W; picked up the westerlies on October 17th, and crossed the meridian of Greenwich on the 19th in lat 40 8: rounded the Cape of Good Hope on October 25th, and experienced a continuance of baffling winds, with one or two heavy gales, running through them all, and on November 9th, in lat 43 S, long 68 h, she had the wind from the westward, and kept it till making the land. She crossed the meridian of CapeLeuwinon November 22nd, and still keeping the winds from the westward, passed the Snares at 8 a mon the stb December, and came up the ooaßt with S.W. to SiS.W. winds and rainy weather. Sighted the Heads at 6 a.m on the 6th, and arrived at Port Chalmers on the 7th. The easting was run down in lat 4i S. No ice was sighted, and the only ; vessel spoken atter crossing the Equator was the | shin Tobago, from Loudon for Melbourne, on November 20th. The Josephine discharged about half her cargo at Port Chalmers, and sailed thence for this port on Monday last. Had S.W. breeze to clearing the Heads, and then northerly and easterly to last Bight, when the vessel was off Timaru. A fresh southerly breeze then sprang up. which lasted to arrival. After discharging her Lyttelton cargo the Josephine sails tor Wellington with remainder CARDIGAN CASTLE-DBA I'U OF ONE OF THE IMMIGRANTS. The Health Officer and Mr March visited the Quarantine Station yesterday. The following is the surgeon superintendent's report, whose name, be desires us to state, is Inman Welsh, not Jeremiah Welsh, as formerly stated :—Hugh McCann, suffering from enteric fever, is still very low and ill • Ann Bennett, ill of low fever, is improving slowly • Eliza Webster, a single woman, aged nineteen who had been suffering from pneumonia and low fever, never rallied from Tuesday morning, and died at 11 pm that night. The general health is good and the conduct of the immigrants quiet, well'behaved, and orderly. We again impress on those who have fruit in their gardens how welcome and beneficial a little of it would be to the new arrivals.
