The “Argus” of Deo. 24th gives a description of tho above yacht, which was dispatched from Auckland to take part in the Melbourne Regatta. The following is the report of the passage across :—The Taniwha left Auckland at half-post 4 p.m. on the 4th inst., with a westerly breeze and fine weather, but three hours afterwards she was becalmed off Kawau. On the sth she had a strong breeze from tho N.W., and had to beat round the North Cape until 4 a.m. on Tuesday, when a breeze from N.B. set in. A departure was taken from Cape Maria Van Diemen on 8 a.m. on the same date, and dnring the day the wind blew fresh from S.E., and raised a head sea. The breeze continued all next day, and the distance traversed on that date was 172 miles. On the 9th the wind was strong from N. to N.W. with a high eea on, and the day’s work was 204 miles. These were tho best opportunities the Taniwha had on the voyage for making running. On the 10th the winds were variable and light, and on the following day they were mostly from N.W., and the weather was dirty. During the day there was a sudden shift into S.W, tho wind blowing a gale, and sending along a tremendous sea. 'The yacht was hove-to at 7 p.m., and at midnight the weather moderated. On the 12th the wind shifted into the N.W., and variables and sqnally weather prevailed. There was also a nasty sea. On the 13th the wind increased to a gale attended with a heavy saa, and tho yacht lay-to nnder close-reefed canvas until tho 15th, when the weather abated in violence. Sail was then made, with the wind from N.N. W., but on the 16th there was another strong gale from S.W. and a high sea, and the cutter lay-to again. On the 17th the wind moderated, bat left a heavy sea after it. On the 18th there was a favorable breeze, and next day the winds wore from S.W. to 8.E., and light. Capa Howe was made on tho 20th, with the wind northerly, bat at 6 p.m. it died away, and was followed by a sudden blow from the southward. On the 21st the yacht was becalmed under Hogan Island, and on the 22nd she passed and signalled Wilson’s Promontory at 10.30 a.m. Soon after the weather became calm, and this was followed by light winds until 6 p.m., when calm weather again set in for two hours. The winds subsequently were from S. and S.W. until arrival at the Heads at noon.
