The s.s. Albion, Captain Garrard, arrived this morning from Melbourne, via Hobart Town, Dunedin, and Bluff. She leaves for Wellington this evening. The 5.3. Hnia, for Kaikoara and Wellington, sailed yesterday. THE WAITANGI. In excellent time, and in beautiful order, this favorite representative of the Now Zealand Shipping Company’s fleet, cam? into Port yesterday afternoon from London. 236 passengers, first, second, and third, embarked by her, and, after a voyage of eighty-three days from the Channel, and eighty-nine from Gravesend, the full complement landed on the pier yesterday, apparently in as good health as they could wish to be. Neither increase nor decrease in their numbers occurred during the passage, no sickness other than the mal de mer, and no accident of a serious character happened from departure to arrival. As the vessel was being towed up the harbor and into the bay the manager and other representatives of the Shipping Company, together with a number of Captain Hodder’s personal friends, boarded her, the health officer. Dr J. T. House having previously made his official visit. Mr J. E. March also made an official visit. A turn round through the ’tween decks among the second and third class passengers, gave opportunity for ascertaining what kind of discipline had obtained. Their compartments were found, however, to he in excellent order, and as cleanly as could bo expected after allowing for the adverse circumstances of wet and dirty weather. The usual plan was followed in the location of the passengers on hoard, and they appeared to have been very comfortably fixed, with an abundance of room, and had by general consent taken as mnch enjoj'ment during their holiday at sea as the occasion and circumstances would admit of. The inevitable chronic complainer was of course a speciality among so large a number, and would rally round him no doubt one or two admirers, bub the body of the passengers made a pleasure trip of the voyage and hud a good word for everything and everybody around them. But two incidents which had enough of the sensational in them to cause them to he remembered happened on the road. One of these was that of a seaman falling from aloft down npon the deck, an accident out of which ho came with nothing worse than a heavy shake, and from which ho recovered after a day’s rest or bo ; and the other was the attempt made by two of the crew to rob the lazarette at night. The startling feature of the last adventure was that when the men were discovered they were found to have the candle stuck directly on the top of the powder magazine. Aside from these two occurrences the voi'ago was an uneventful one. The classification of the passengers was—twenty-five in the saloon, twenty-four in the second cabin, and one hundred and eighty-six steerage. Dr. Mackintosh Collie, a young man making his first voyage, was the surgeon in charge, and seems to have gained the good opinion of the passengers. Following is account of the sailing done: — The Waitangi left the South West India Dock on the morning of the 26th of June, and brought up at Grcanhithe to swing for adjustment of compasses. Proceeded to Gravesend the same day and embarked her passengers that evening. Passed the Government inspection the next day and towed awa3* from Gravesend at 2 a.in. on the 2Sth. Towed as far as the Isle of Wight against fresh westerly winds ; cast off the tug at 10 a.m. of the 29th. Strong westerly gales prevailed down Channel. On the night of the 30th a ver3* hard gale from the W.S.W. was experienced, accompanied l>3* torrents of rain, thunder, and lightning. Cleared the Channel on Friday, July -Ith, sighting the Lizards at *1 a.m. Fine weather then prevailed, and the N.jS. trades proved ver3* fair, but failed i n 12 deg. N., variable southorty and south-westerl>' prevailing to the Line, which was crossed July 29th, in long. 25 W. The S.E. trades were very moderate, and failed the ship in 23 deg. South. Favorable weather hut unstcad3* winds were then experienced as far as the Capa, which was passed on August 20th, in lat. 41 South. The run across the Southern Ocean was characterised by unsteady and variable winds, the same wind never favoring the ship for twelve consecutive hours. The Lewiu was passed on September 10th, Tasmania on the 16th, after which dirty weather prevailed. The worst weather during the whole vo3'ago was experienced between Tasmania and the coast, no observation being taken for six days. The Snares were passed at midday of the 21st September, and dirty weather, with hard rain, prevailed till sighting the coast early in the morning of the 23rd. Light winds and calms thence to anchorage. The vessels spoken during the passage were July 17th, lat. 16. 20 N., long. 25. 59 W., the Helen Pembroke, from London to Calcutta, twenty-two days out. August 23rd, lat. 45. 53 S., long. 25. 41 E., ship Gateside, from Loudon to Adelaide, sixt3'-uine days out. September 2lst, lat. 45.33, long. 168.33 E., barque Mataura, from London to Otago, eight3'-six da3'a out. Of the officers of the Waitangi, two remain in the positions thej' held when last here, Mr Barnes chief, and Mr Hannon third. Mr Metcalf is second officer. The ship was brought iu direct from sea b3* the steamtng, which never parted from her until the Waitangi was snuglj'berthed at the Gladstone Pier. The passengers will land finally this morning, the fifty or sixty of them whoso destinations aro in different parts north and south in the colony, proceeding thither by first opportune. The ship will be entered at the Customs this morning, and commence at once to land her cargo.
