AEEIVAL OF THE SILAS FISH, [From the “Guardian.”] A barque showing American colors, standing in for the Heads, was reported from the Pilot Station at Taiaroa Heads yesterday morning, and at 9.20 a.m, she was made out to be the Silas Fish, which left New York in company with the Herbert Black on the 29th May, and has consequently made a passage three days longer than the former vessel, which occupied 114 days f #m port to port, the Silas Fish having taken 117 days. She was met outside the Heads by the tug Kopntai, and Captain M'Donald offered his services to bring the vessel up to the anchorage. Arrangements having been made, the Silas Fish was taken in tow, and brought to a convenient discharging berth off Carey's Bay at 1.20 p.m. She was promptly boarded by the Customs officials, and cleared in without delay. The Silas Fish is a smart-looking barque, built of wood, and is evidently kept in capital trim. She brings a large cargo of American goods, amounting to 1145 tons, of which 175 tons is intended for this port, 175 tons for Lyttelton, and the remaining part for Wellington. [ SHIPPING TELEGRAMS.
