Her maiden voyage was made from Liverpool to San Francisco and to Portland, Oregon, thence home. She is here from Calcutta via Port Chalmers, having gone to the former port from Bombay. Her cargo of 1250 tonß from Calcutta consisted of cornsacks and castor oil, of which she has brought on here but a portion, having discharged at Port Chalmers part of the Lyttelton freight in addition to that consigned to Dunodin. She is under charter to load grnin for home by Messrs P. Cunningham and Co. and Messrs Royse, Stead, and Co, and it is expected she will take iu the neighborhood of 1470 tons. Captnin Ogilvie was here about four years ago with an immigrant ship, the Geraldine Paget, to the New Zealand Shipping Company; and his chief officer, Mr Shaw, visited the colony in 1875 in the Sophia Joachin to Port Chalmers. She arrived at Poit Chalmers February 28th, and left there for this port on Saturday last at noon, expeiiencing light N.E. winds to Timaru, and thence to making the harbor a fresh S.W. breeze.
