The brigantine Ethel, Captain Armstrong, arrived in harbor yesterday afternoon, from Manukau, with a cargo of timber. She left on Monday last, with a light N.E. wind to Capo Egmont. thence N.W. through Straits, and N.E. with flno weather to arrival. The brigantine Eosannah Rose, Captain Helgeson, arrived in harbor yesterday afternoon from Kaipara, with a cargo of timber. She left on Sunday last with a light S.W.. which lasted twelve hours, thence light northerly to arrival. Captain Helgeson, of theßosannah Eose, reports the Prosperity for hero was lying at Kaipara Heads when he left on October 19th. THE EANGITIKEI. Early yesterday morning conjectnre as to the name of the ship reported by the Albion as off the coast was set at rest by the signalman at the station hoisting the Bangitikei's numbers. The vessel was then a long way otttsido the heads, but there was a very general feeling of curiosity, and some anxiety, to learn whether any tidings of the overdue Knowsley Ha 1 were to come to hand. Daring the forenoon the vessel was brought up to tho anchorago ground by the tug steamor, but there being Government immigrants on board tho health and immigration officers had to make their official visit, which, under existing regulations, is conducted by them in private, the representatives of the Proas being excluded. As soon as the flag was down the reporters boarded the vessel, and were very cordially welcomed by Captain Milman and the officers. In reply to the inquiry re the Knowsley Hall, it was ascertained that nothing whatever had been seen of her, the only ship spoken borne an American, the Freeman Clark, on September 20th, bonnd from New York to Melbourne, 68 days out. After interviewing the surgeon superintendent. Dr. Eadson, a gentleman who has completed his tenth voyage to tho colonies as ship's surgeon and his fourth to Lyttelton, and having received from him a very favorable report of tho qnality and general conduct of the immigrants, and tho interesting written report subjoined, a visit was made to the 'tween decks. The admirable Sroportions of the Eangitikei and her superior tness for carrying a large number of passengers are bo well known from reports of her previous visits as to render it unnecessary to recapitulate them here. The immigrants were quartered as usnal —the single women aft, the married people and families amidships, and the single men forward. Without unduly complimenting those in charge of the ship and of these compartments, the condition which the vessel presented yesterday, as to cleanli--21033 and order, could not bo surpassed. Her appearance in these respects may be said also to be very creditable to the immigrants themselves, and spoke as well for their habits as it did for those in authority on board, and tho discipline maintained during tho voyage. In tho single women's comportment. Miss Amelia Knight was in charge as matron, a position which her previous experience in largo institutions in England, notably tho Putney Orphanage, tho Boys' Infirmary at Sutton, andatColnoy Hatch Asylum, well qualified her to fill. Her report of tho behaviour of those in her charge was very satisfactory, there having been but little unpleasantness during tho voyage, and none but what could bo easily overlooked, considering the large number (93) of girls in the division. A good many of tho girls are from Ireland and well suited to become domestics. Not a fow of them were nominated, thus arriving to friends here. Tho girls appear to be of a most respectable class ; the best selected lot that have arrived here for a long time. Mr James Irvine was constable iu tho married couples' compartment, in which, by tho way, there were seventy-six children, whoso education was sednlo'sly looked after by schoolmaster Mr G. H. Fuller, on the passage. Forward, Messrs J. A. Anderson and J. Carroll acted as constables among the single men. In passing among the immigrants, it was pleasing to remark tho kindly way they spoke of Captain Milman, and indeed of the whole of the ship s company. Testimonials worelpresented by thorn to Captain Milman and to Dr. Eadson. Tho following is the surgeon-superintendent's roport : —We left Plymonth at noon on July 19th, our numbers being 335 souls, cqnal to 293 statute adults, of whom there were 45 married couples,with 76 children, 03 einglo women and 76 single men. The different nationalities were represented by 166 English, 118 Irish, 20 Scotch and I French. There were but a few in the ship who had been in America or elsewhere abroad before. Night watches, fire drill, daily school and Sunday services (weather permitting) were regularly held, whilst in the fine tropical ovening3 weekly concerts wero organised, under the supervision of Mr Butcher, the purser of the vessel. The voyage was singularly uneventful, there not being oven a storm to record, and tho thermometer in tho 'tween decks daring the hottest weather never rose higher than 84deg. Fah., or sunk lower than 46deg. Fah. in tho ■coldest days oncountered running down the easting. Three births occurred on board, viz., Mrs Thomas Julian of a son on August 20th, Mrs Charles Clarke of a daughter on September 22nd, and Mrs William Brown of a son on October 22nd. Fortunately there were no'deaths, although scarlet fever broke out in the early part of the passage, but by immediately romoving the two patients and their nurses from tho married people's compartment, i *nd allowing no communication whatever to take ' fclace between them and the other passengers for.

the remainder of the voyage, the scourge was happily stamped out. I must mention, too, that the stores (which wore supplied by G. B. Yates and Son) were exceptionally good, not a single complaint having been p eferred in reference to them. In concluding, my best thanks are duo to Captain Milman, his officers and the ship's company generally for tho prompt and willing assistance they always rendered the Government passengers, and which so materially conduced to their comfort and well-being. The sailing report of the passage was supplied by Captain Milman as follows :—On July 19th at noon left Plymouth with 335 emigrants, saloon passengers 15, crew 47. Total—397 souls. Wind southerly moderate; at midnight increased to a strong gale from S.W. lasting until 8 p.m. of 21st, ship then off Start Point. Westerly winds continued with fine weather until August 3rd, when the N.E. trades were met with in latitudo 32 30 N. They wore moderate, and lost in latitudo 13deg. N. Brisk southerly and S.W. wmds with their attendant eqnalls were experienced thence to the Equator which was crossed on August 20th iu long 24'50 W., 32 days out. The S.E. tr.ules commenced in lat. 2deg N. and lasted with fvesh breezes and fine weather to latitudo 19deg. S„ when baffling squalls from S.S.W. and nnsettlcd weather continued for two days. The S.E. wiad again spruug up and was finally lost iu latitude 20 0 S. on September Ist. Calms and light variablo breezes wore experienced for tho next week, when the westerlies were obtained. The Cape was passed on Septombor 18th, Gl days out. The easting was rau down between the parallels of 43deg. and 45 deg. with unusually fine weathor. The Snares wore passed at midnight on October 18th ; made tho land about Long Point at 10 a.m. 19th October. Off Capo Saunders, October 20th. N.E. and light variable winds prevailed on the coast, with thick foggy weather. The porsonnel of tho officers of tho ship has undergone a change since tho Eangitikei left here January 15th last, ia respect to tho second and third officori. Mr Budd last here second in the Wainmte has been transferred to the Bnngitikei. and Mr Bond is third officer, last here third in the Opawa. Mr Matthews as last voyage is chief. A portion of tho immigrants aro for Titnarn, whither they will proceed on Monday or Tuesday. The single women were landed yesterday afternoon, and the married people and single men will be landed to-day. The ship will be entered at the Customs to-day. and be berthed on Monday or Tuesday at the Gladstone Pier. SHIPPING TELEGBAMS. Port Chalmers, October 25."' Sailed- Forfarshiro, for San Francisco ; Mary Campbell, for Greymonth; Owako, for Kaipara. Wellington, October 24. Turnbull and Co. received advice from Boston to-day, stating that the barque Atlanta, with a cargo of notions, from Boston to Wellington, with part of cargo for Dunedin, and some for Lyttolton, put into tho Capo of Good Hope, minety days out, having lost some spars and sprnng the bowsprit. The detention will bo short, and she may be expected to arrivo any moment.
