In attampting to get over the bar yesterday on a light wind the Clematis, schooner, again went ashore. She is expected to be got off. THE OPAWA, The New Zealand Shipping Company’s ship Opawa, in command of Captain Mathers, last hero in the Otaki, arrived this morning from London, anchoring nt eight o’clock. She brought six passengers, and a large general cargo. The voyage occupied just one hundred days from the London Docks to port, a_ longer passage than was looked for, bat which is fully accounted for by the exceptional weather experienced in the S.E. trade belt, and in running down the easting from the Cape of Good Hope to the meridian of the West Coast of Australia. The nicety in navigation which has been reached by shipmasters in command of vessels trading to ■this colony from]London, i,(fairly well exmplified in connection with the arrival at this port of the Opawa. and the arrival of the ship Crusader at Port Chalmers on Thursday last. The Opawa left London on April 2nd, and was followed by the Crusader the day after. On the 17th of May, six weeks later, the two ships fell in company, and sailed within sight of each other for six or seven days, and parted when off the Island of Tristan D’Achuna. The Opawa sighted the Snares last Wednesday, and was close to Otago Heads the next day —the day the Crusader arrived at Port Chalmers. Another noteworthy incident occurred in connection with the voyage of the Opawa. Two days before crossing the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope she fell in company with eight or nine ships, and they continued together for several days, or until the number was increased to no less than nineteen full-rigged ships. In other matters tha voyage of the Opawa was devoid of interest. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. Pobt Chalmers, July 8. Arrived —Araby Maid, from London.
