THE MATAURA. Yesterday afternoon the barqne Matenra in the harbor after a long passage for her of 100 days. She brought a full cargo of general merchandise, particulars of which are given above, and a few passengers. The length of the voyage is accounted for by the indifferent trade winds which prevailed both north and south of the Equator, and how exceptionally poor these mast have been may be inferred from the fact that the Matanra’s average voyages to the colony and homo have been but 83 days. Her name is well known in the colonial trade as one of the representatives of the New Zealand Shipping Company’s line of ships, and her reputatioa will bear favorable comparison with any in the trade. In previous years she has cbiefly been despatched to Wellington or Port Chalmers, and this is her first visit to Lyttelton. Captain Brown, who commands her, Is not, however, a stranger to the port, having been here several times in other vessels belonging to the company, i' is chief officer, Mr Donaldson, is also an old acquaintance, and was here a short while ago in the Waipa. The cleanly appearance of the Matanra yesterday, as she came to an anchor in the port, did those gentlemen infinite credit, and both Captain Brown and bia officers, it also appeared bad, dnring the voyage, earned the good opinion and esteem of the passengers. The following is an account of the paarage:— Left tendon January 13th, Gravesend the next day, and the Lizard on the 17th. Had hard gales from the H.
