A stranger to Lyttelton Harbor in the shape of a handsome fore-and-aft schooner of 190 tons register, named the Pioneer, aud hailing from Adelaide, arrived on Tuesday night. She is in ballast from Wellington, is commanded by Capt. Osborne, and comes here to load produce for the Mauritius for Messrs Cuff and Graham. Her master reports leaving Wellington on Monday at noon, and having fresh N.W. weather to arrival at 8 p.m. on Tuesday. „ , _ . _ The barque Australian Sovereign, Capt. Berry, from Newcastle, with a cargo of coals for Mr C. W. Turner, arrived yesterday afternoon. She left Newcastle on September 13th, and has therefore made a good passage of twelve days. Capt. Berry reports having variable weather to September 21st, when there was a fresh westerly breeze, which held to making Cape Farewell on the night of the 23rd, at nine o'clock. Strong westerly and N.W. winds prevailed down the coast to arrival. ARRIVAL OF THE NEW Z H.ALAND SHIPPING CO.'S SHIP WAIMATE FROM LONDON. The expected ship Waimate was signalled early yesterday morning, and anchored off Camp Bay. Shortly after 11 a.m. the health officer (Dr. Donald), the manager of the New Zealand Shipping Co., and a number of others interested, proceeded down to the ship in the p.s. Titan. All the passengers (of which the Waimate (am will be seen by the notice of her arrival, brings a large number) being well, the ship was at once cleared, and all proceeded on board, where they received a hearty welcome from Captain Peek and his officers. The ship was in splendid order, and as clean as a new pin, looking more as if just out of dock than after a long voyage. Captain Peek stated that the passage had been an exceedingly fine one, in fact more wind would have been welcome. It has, however, been quite like a Eleasure trip to the passengers, and the flue weather as no doubt conduced to the safe arrival of some magnificent blood horses of Mr George Stead's, the" death of which would have been a colonial loss. No incident of any special interest marked the passage, the usual schemes for passing away the time having been indulged in by the passengers to vary the monotony of the long sea trip. The saloon was fully occupied, aud the second and third class passengers (amongst which latter are two Government immigrants) were most com'ortably lodged down the after hatch, in a roomy, clean, well lighted and well ventilated compartment. All the passengers speak well of the treatment they kave received and of the provisions provided. The medical man aboard, Dr. Wardale, was most highly spoken of, and the praises of Captain Peek and his officers were tittered in no stinted measure. Mr Canise is the chief officer, and Mr Budd second, and many of those aboard are old chums well known in Canterbury. We must congratulate Captain Peek and his officers on the splendid order in which the Waimate has arrived in port, and also on the universal contentment which appears to have prevailed aboard daring the whole trip. Shortly before 1 p.m. the Titau took the ship in tow and brought her in to a berth inside the breakwater. She was to be berthed at the Gladstone Pier last night. We are obliged to Captain Peek for the following report of the trip:—Left the Downs on June 14th, and had S.W. and southerly winds and drizzling rain in the Channel, not taking final departure from Scilly till the 21st June. Had S.S.W. wind first week, and then light westerly to July 3rd. Caught N.E. trades in 30 N. 20 W. They were light, aud were lost in 14 N. Thence to SN. had i light westerly and southerly winds. The S.E. trades were caught in 2.50 N., and the Equator crossed on July 27th—36 days out from London and 30 from Scilly—in 30 W. The S.E. trades were light, the weather being very line. They wore steady, and lasted to 31 S. and 38 W. Light variables and fine weather theu held till the 39th degree of south latitude was passed, the aneroid barometer showing the unusual height of 30.88. The weather continued very fine, with light westerly breezes to the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope, which was reached 31 days after passing the Equator. Easterly winds then prevailed for seven days, after which the usual westerlies were met with, and the ship ran down her easting between the 42nd and 44th parallels with moderate westerly winds. After passing 140 E., however, easterlies were met with, which held to 159 E. They were light, and the weather continued very fine. Passed the Snares at 10 p.m. on the 20th, and at 6 a.m. on the 21st Stewart's Island bore S.E., distant 30 miles. At 6 a.m. on the 22nd were 25 miles from the Nuggetts, and at 3 p.m. sighted Cape Saunders, 10 miles distant. The wind was S. W., and at 8.30 p.m. Port Chalmers light audTaiaroa Heads bore S.W. 10 miles, it then fell calm for a time, but a light air sprang up from the N.N.E., and at noon on the 23rd were 70 miles from Cape Saunders. Banks' Peninsula was made at 7 p.m. that night; beat up the coast against northerly wind, with occasional heavy squalls and much lightning. At 2 a.m. Wednesday sighted Godley light, and at 6 a.m. stood in for the harbor, where Captain Galbraith came aboard, bring the ship to an anchorage off Camp Bay at 7.45 a.m. The passage has been a fine but tedious one, occupying 103 days from London, and 91 days from Scilly to the Snares.
