Wellington, December 23. The ship Lady Jocelyn, from London, was towed into harbor this morning. Immediately on arrival the police were informed that a robbery had been committed on board. It appears that, shortly after Captain Jenkins died, some person or persons entered his cabin and carried off about .£39. There is no clue to the perpetrators, but the police are causing every endeavor to be made to capture the thief. Dunedin, December 24. Arrived —Wakatipu, from Wellington. Bluff, December 25.

A steamship of the above name has just arrived at Port Chalmers to the order of the Union Company. The “Otago Daily Times” says of her “The Haurot® is intended for their intercolonial trade, for -which indeed she is eminently fitted, having a large carrying capacity, together with unequalled accommodation for passengers. She is schooner - rigged, and is a very sightly vessel, although not up to some of the company’s ships in this respect. She is under the command of Captain Fielding, a gentleman who commanded the ship Goldseeker in this port in 1862. He brings the Hauroto into port in splendid order, and has gained golden opinions from all classes of his passengers. The staff of the -vessel is composed of the following gentlemen : —Mr M'Kechnie (late of the company’s ship Wakatipu), is chief ; Mr Scott, second ; Mr Phillips, third ; while our old friend Mr L. C. Miller (formerly of the IRotijjnahana), has again resumed his old position as purser, and to whom we are indebted for his ready courtesy in supplying us with files and reports. The engineer staff consists of Mr M'Millan chief, Mr Rennie second, Mr Douglas third, Mr Cameron fourth. Commencing from the after end, we find the saloon a very commodious one, capable of accommodating sixty passengers. This compartment is one of the neatest we have yet seen; the sides are panelled in sycamore, hand-painted in the most tasteful manner, while at the -upper end there are two beauffets. and in the centre panel of each is painted a view of the vessel’s side, with the blocks and sheers. On one of these blocks is the nest of a chaffinch, with one of the parent birds entering it. It will be in the recollection of most of our readers that we have already mentioned the pretty little story of these birds building their nest in close proximity to the Hauroto. The saloon is fitted with old gold-colored chairs and couches, while on either side of it are artistically engraved mirrors. There is, of course, a piano, and an excellent selection of books. The sleepingcabins are all that could be desired, while there is a superabundance of baths and lavatories. The ladies’ cabin is a very tasteful one, and possesses everything to lender its occupants comfortable ; its ventilation is perfect, and the adjuncts are all that could possibly be desired. On the poop deck there is a most comfortable smok-ing-room, fitted up with handsomely-carved seats, marble tables, and comforts for the lovers of the weed. The second cabin is also most comfortable, far more so than the second saloons of many of the steamers ■which, in bygone times, visited us. It has an excellent ladies’ compartment, with baths and lavatories attached, while the main saloon is not only spacious, but extremely comfortable. Sixty-three gentlemen and fifteen ladies have ample accommodation in this part of the ship. Her engines are pf the compound surface-con-densing class, the cylinders being respectively 33in and 68in in diameter, with a length of stroke of 3ft 9in; the crank shaft is 12-jin in diameter; the propeller is a four-bladed one. of 16ft diameter, with a pitch of 21ft. Her condenser has 1172 tubes, with a surface of 2114 square feet. She is fitted with one steel boiler, the diameter being 16ft, and the length lift 3in, working up to a pressure of 751 b. The furnace is of corrugated steel, its diameter inside being 3ft 9in, the grate surface being 141 superficial feet, and the total heating surface 391Sft. The working pressure of the boilers is 751 b to the square inch, while the consumption of coal per diem is 20 tons on an average speed of 12 knots.
