Fully due for a barque of her class, but finishing by no means a long passage, the barque City of fanj ore, the vessel that did honor os flagship at the last Lyttelton regatta, arrived yesterday from London, Last year she was commanded by Captain Dow, now of the City of Lahore. Upon the present visit she is in command of Captain John Webster, a gentleman new to the colonial trade, but who has in the voyage jast completed endeared himself to the inhabitants of the City of Tanjore, fall expression of which was conveyed to him in a testimonial signed by the passengers, and presented on the vessel’s arrival. The courtesy and kindness of his officers, among whom Mr Sinclair, hero last year, returns as chief, is also acknowledged by the passengers. The City of Tanjore is under charter for the round voyage to Messrs Shaw. Savill land Co., and she has brought a general cargo of merchandise, besides being the bearer of seventeen paasengers, second cabin and steerage. With the exception of the loss of a sail or two during a gale off the Australian Coast and some other alight damage to her mizzen-mast. nothing out of the ordinary occurred during the passage. The passengers were located down the after hatch, where they appeared to have sueoeded in making themselves as comfortable as they could with the^limited accommodation and dimly lighted cabins at their disposal. Among the passengers was a former resident of Lyttelton, who ventured to return to the old country some months since by the steamship Durham, there, as he had fondly hoped, to “ settle down ” once more. He describes the situation of affairs at home as being so changed for the worse within a comparatively few years, as to render the business of earning a living dreadfully uncertain, and speaks of the “ workhouses ” as “ filling uo ” at a wholesale rate, at both Bristol and London. The other passengers are new arrivals, to whom the Britain of the South is, in a colonising sense, a terra incognita- During the voyage everyone on board enjoyed uninterrupted health, and almost without exception uninterrupted contentment. Two vessels were spoken—the Jnmna from London, bound to the Mauritius, fifty.three days out, and the Chalgrove from London to Swan River, fifty-nine days out. The particulars of the voyage of the City of Tanjore were supplied as follows :—Left London docks Jane 26th, the Start on the 29th; had moderate N E. trades, and crossed the Equator on the thirty-second day out. The S.E trades proved good, and on the 23rd of August the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope was crossed. Ten days’ light winds was ' experienced then to getting the westerlies. The meridian of Cape Lenwin was crossed Sept. 16th, and that of Tasmania, September 23rd. The first of the coast sighted was Otago Heads last Wednesday, since which light variable weather prevailed. On Saturday at noon the vessel was from twelve to fourteen miles off East Head. At midnight the wind came light from the S.E. and yesterday at 3.30 a.m., a strong S. W. wind sprang up, and brought the vessel to within a couple of miles of the Heads at eleven o’clock, when she was taken in tow by the steam tag.
