A little overdue, hut fully explained by the unusual weather experienced, both where the N.B. and S.E. trades generally prevail most steadily, the New Zealand Shipping Company’s well known ship Rongitiki made the Port yesterday afternoon. A great many friends of her commander. Captain Milman, and of some of the passengers, old “ colonials,” returning to the more congenial climate of the “ Britain of the South,” went off to welcome the good ship into port. The passengers, numbering about fifty, had a most eulogistic opinion to give of both the ship, her officers, and the voyage they had made. There was an entire absence of serious sickness amongst them during the passage, and the only incident necessitating medical skill was of a congratulatory character, namely the birth of a daughter of Mrs Murray, one of the steerage passengers, on last Saturday night. Theatrical entertainments, concerts, and the periodical issue of the “Bangitiki Press” pleasantly counteracted the otherwise dullness of the voyage, and with the almost continuous fine weather, helped to make the time pass cheerily. Before the ship anchored the passengers mustered aft and presented the captain and hia chief officer each with a testimonial expressive of their esteem for those gentlemen. Captain Milman is an old visitor to Canterbury, as also is the chief officer, Mr Canise, last here in the Waimate. The second officer is Mr Cleveland, and Mr George Butcher returns as ohiof steward. Following are the chief items of the passage— Left Gravesend on August 28th, passed the Lizard on the 31st, thence nothing but S.W. winds to Madeira, and had the trades from there to 13 N.; S.W. again from there to Equator, crossed October 4th, and southerly winds through the S.E, trade belt to 22 S. On October 23rd, passed within sight of the settlement on Tristan D’Acunha; passed the meridan of the Cace November Ist, the Lenwin November 25th," and the Snares last Saturday. The entry at the Customs was ,'made last night, and the ship will he at once discharged, and loaded for Home, sailing this month. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. Auckland, December 7.
