It is supposed to be the Planter from Newcsstle. . The barqne Iris arrived from Newcastle this morning. She brings a cargo of coals for P. Cun. ninghom and Co. The ship Bulwark and the barques Wodonga, Alma, and Columbus were towed by the p.s. Titan into the stream this morning. The Island City barque was berthed at the No. i Wharf. Thejs.s. Wakatipu, Captain Wheeler, arrived in harbor from Port Chalmers at 11.30 a.m. to-day. She sails for Sydney via Wellington at 1.30 p.m. The schooner Atlantic left Auckland for here on the 27th inst. She brings 20,000 ft timber, 32,000 drain pipes, and 36 kegs. It was not till 3 p.m. yesterday that the Wannka arrived with the San Francisco mail. She had been detained by the furious gale, which compelled her to anchor under Cape Campbell for five hours. She discharged and loaded a few tons of cargo, sailing South at 6.30 p.m. A barque was signalled from the North yesterday afternoon. The Isabella, brigantine, which left here for the Bluff on the 24th, returned to harbor yesterday aftornoon. She has been unable to proceed, owing to the strong southerly weather, during tho heaviest of which she leaked considerably, making less water however directly the sea went down. The Wanaka reported a large barque, apparently hound here, off Gore Bay yesterday. Sho will probably arrive this morning. The s.s. Wanaka, commanded by Captain McGillivray, arrived in harbor from Northeru ports, convoying the English mail via San Francisco, at 3 p.m. yesterday, after a stormy passage down. She left Onehunga wharf on the 28th at 9 a.m., crossed the bar at 10.30 a.m.; had strong S.W. winds and heavy head sea till arriving at New Plymouth at 11.30 p.m. same day; left on the 29th at 8.:i0 a.m. with fresh S.W. wind, which prevailed till 4 p.m., and then veered round to the N.N.W., and increased to a heavy gale, accompanied by thick weather; arrived at Nelson at 10 p.m.; left on the 30th at b. 30 a.m., encountered S.E. gale in the Straits, and arrived at Wellington at 8.45 p.m.; left on Saturday, tho .'Jlst, at 11.30 a.m., facing an exceedingly heavy gale from the S.E. ; at 7 p.m., owing to the force of the gale, was compelled to anchor under Cape Campbell, where she lay five hours; at midnight the gale having somewhat moderated, got underweigh again, and steamed against a furious gale and heavy sea till passing the Kaikoura Peninsula; from thence was favored with hue weather till arrival. The Wanaka landed and loaded 15 tons of cargo at the Steamers' wharf, and sailed for Duuediu at 6.30 p.m. ARRIVAL OF THE BARQUE LUTTERWORTH, FROM LONDON. The barque Lutterworth was signalled on Saturday afternoon, nod anchored inside the Heads same night. On Sunday morning she was taken in tow by the p.s. Titan and brought to her anchorage off Diamond Harbor. It will be remembered that this handsome iron barque came here from Auckland to load for the N.Z.S. Company throe years ago, and we are glad to state she is still commanded by genial Captain Pearson, who will bo remembered by many. She comes now under charter to Shaw, Saville and Co, and brings a large general cargo and passengers. She is consigned to Messrs Edwards, Bennett and Co. The Lutterworth is 105 days from the .Downs, and ninoty from the Laud's End to the Snares. The passage was a tine-weather one to the Cape, but thence very heavy weather has been experienced. One terriiic gale was met within 45 S. and 130.55 E. on August 18th. The wind was from the S.W., and at 10 p.m. a heavy sea broke over the stern, sinashiug the wheel and dislocating the second mate's knee. It tilled the cabins with water, washed spars adrift, carried away binnacle and one of tho quarter boats, and did other damage. Was obliged to heave the shij> to, and in coming to the wind the maiutopsail yard carried away, and the two lower topsail, foresail, mainsail, and maintopmast staysail were split to ribbons. This obliged the vessel to lay-to for 16 hours to repair damages. The passengers are all well, and speak highly of the treatment they received from the captain and officers, and also of the quality of the provisions. Home were lodged originally in the 'tween decks in the after hatch, but in the heavy weather Captain Pearson made room for them in the after cabin. Tho following is the captain's report: Left Gravesend on May 15th; lay in the Downs till the 18th, when the pilot was landed, and the ship beat down the channel against a westerly breeze, and took iinal departure from the Lizard on May 27th; had fine weather and moderate winds across the JBay, and caught N.E. trades on June 9th in .*lO N. They were very light, and were lost on June 21st in 8 N. and 24 E., caught the S.E. trades in 4 N., and crossed tho equator on the 2Uth in 26 E. The S.E. trades were fresh, and were carried to 31 S., being lost on July 11th. Thence to meridan of Cape, which was reached on July 26th, had line westerly winds. Ran down easting in 13 S, the westerlies being exceedingly strong, and on August 18th experienced a terrific gale, during which the ship sustained considerable damage. Sighted the Snares on August 27th, and thence had variable westerly winds up the coast to arrival as above. ARRIVAL OF THE PALALA, FPOM LONDON. The Palala was signalled yesterday morning, and caino to an anchorage during tho afternoon. She is a new iron barque, built by Alex. Stevens and Sons, of Glasgow, and is on her maiden trip. She is a handsome vessel, benutifnlly fitted, and in good order throughout. She brings a large general cargo and is consigned to the New Zealand Shipping Company, her owners being Ballard, King and Co., of London. No special incident occurred during the passage. The trip occupied from anchorage to anchorage 09 days and from land to land 92 days. One heavy gale was experienced in 46.23 S., 130 E., on August 18th, but no damage was sustained. One was surprised at the Palala's bringing no passengers when one saw the splendid accommodation sho affords. Her saloon is beautifully fitted, the panpolling being of polished wood, and the cornices _nd ornaments in blue aud gold. The berths are r_a»njy and convenient, and fitted with every appliance. The vessel is m splendid order everywhere, and reflects the greatest credit on her captain and officers, who speak in the highest terms of her, both uh a good sea boat and swill sailer, Tho weather was exceedingly uupropitious for making apassago, ■4O days being occupied in reaching the Equator. Captain I'aynter reports leaving Gravosend on May 21st ana the Downs on the 22nd; had Hue w gather down channel with the wind from the westward, the final doparture being taken from Seilly on the 27th; had smart northerly winds across tho Bay and caught N.E. trades on 15th June iu lat. 27.17 N., long. 18.50 W. They were fair, and were lost iu 9 .IS. on tho 21th. Tho S.E. trades were mot with on July lat in 0.21 N.; the equator was crossed same day, forty days out, in 24 W. The S.E. traces were strong and squally and woro lost in 28 S. on July 12th ; thence to meridan of Capo ctroug westerly winds were experienced, that point being passed on July 23rd. Ban down easting between the iiSth and 44th parallels, the westerlies being strong ; made Stewart's Island on July 27th, and had a succession of S.W. and N.W. gales up the coast, making tho Peninsula on August 28th, and arriving outside the Heads on Thursday night, but did not come to an anchorage till the following cvi'iiing, whou tho pilot came on board. Owiug to the S.W. gale the ship had to lay at anchor all Saturday, but yestorday morning got uuder weigh, and, favored by a light N.E. wind, reached an anchorage in tho fairway during the afternoon. CLEARANCE OF THE COLUMBUS. This handsome barque, uuder charter to tho New Zealand Shipping Co., cleared tho Customs on Saturday and will bo towed out into the stream to-day ready lor sea. She is iu capital trim, and bebides a largo and valuable eirgo, particulars of which we amies, takes seventeen passengers, who, under the charge of Captain Essou, will no
