This well known representative of the New Zealand Shipping Company’s line made the port on Saturday last, from London. Her arrival was not unexpected, as she possesses an enviable reputation in the fleet for reliable passages, and had, if anything, been out longer than usual. On boarding her it was found that the voyage had been prolonged to ninety-one days from parting with the tug, and though that time cannot be classed among long passages it would have been very much less but for the exceptionally light weather met with north of the Equator, and the indifferently strong winds experienced when running down the easting. Prom Cursory conversations held with the passengers cb board, of whom there were sixty-seven, it would seem that a pleasanter passage, both in respect to the weather and the kindly and sociable manners of the officers of the ship, would be difficult to meet with. Captain Mosey, one of the most popular visitors to this port, especially fell into the good opinions of the passengers, all of whom spoke of him in terms of admiration. As will be remembered. Captain Mosey loft here last year in command a t the Orari, and was transferred to the Waimate upon Captain Peek’s retirement from the company. Captain Peek has, it maybe said, given up the sea, and has established himself in the shipping agency line at home. With Captain Mosey on the present voyage, a gentleman, Mr Hardy, for many years an officer on the Loch Katrine, occupies the position of chief, and the cleanly and well-cared for state in which the ship came into port did him great credit. Mr Wiilwood is second officer, and Mr Mooreitonse third. Following is the report of the passage, supplied by the master :—Left S.W. India Docks September 14th. and cast off from tuo tug off the Isle of Wight on the 17th, cleared Soilly Islands on the 19th, and passed Madeira on October 4th, nothing but the lightest of S.W. winds and calms having been met with. Palma Island passed on the 6th of October, and Capa de Verde on the 11th. The Equator was crossed on the 22nd of October, then thirtythree days ont from the Channel. Moderate S.E. trades were carried to 22 S. and 29 W., the Island of Trinidad being sighted on the 30th of October. In running down the easting in 44 S., the best day’s work was 354 miles, and the best week’s average 257 miles per day. The Greenwich meridian was crossed November 10th, Cape of Good Hope November 13th, and the meridian of the Lewin on December 2nd. Tasmania was passed December Bth, and the Snares passed December 14th, at 8 a.m.; Cape Saunders 8 pm. on the 15th, and Akaroa at 3 a.m. on Saturday. The following signals were exchanged with vessels on the passage-On October 15th, Scottish Prince, bound to Brisbane ; October 20th, Loch Eanza, for Sydney; November 20th, Ceres, New York to Hobart, ninety days ont. The ship was boarded yesterday by the health officer. Dr. Bouse, and Mr March, representing the Board of Trade, also by Mr Gibbs and the other officers of the New Zealand Shipping Company.
