The s 8 Claud Hamilton is expected here from Nelson to-day, when she will take pasgangers fur Melbourne direct. The Charies Edward has been chartered, by the Otago Government to proceed to Martin's Bay.. The barque Kate Conley, now under tlie command of Captain W. G. Burnett,, left Port > Philip Heads on Friday, the 27th vl f ,, with south-east winds, which continued until Sunday, the 29th. On that day she ran through the Straits with westerly winds. For the three following days she had a strong gale from the south-east, and then light winds from east to south all the way down to the coast. She sighted land off Cliff Head on Wednesday, at 4 p.m. ; made this roadstead on Thursday evening, and was brought to the wharf by the p s Dispatch early yesterday mot ning. She brings a large cargo of general merchandise, and is consigned to her owners, Messrs Glenn Bros. The s s Claud Hamilton, of Messrs M'Meckan, Blackwood, and Co.'s fleet of New Zealand steamship?, has during the last month or two been undergoing a very f xtjnsive overhaul and refit in hull, machinery, and rigging. The Claud, it will be recollected, was not one of the swiftest vessels of her line, and in order to put her on an equal footing with the others in the matter of speed, new boilers of larger capacity were ordered for her. These were made at the works of the Langland's Foundry Company; and with the boilers she had also received new air-pumps and condensers, and other important portions of the machinery. The engines have otherwise been carefully overhauled, and everything connected with them made good and put in first-rate order. The hull has also been carefully examined inside and out, and cleaned and painted ; and aloft span and standing and running gear have all been seen to and nude right ■' The passenger accommodation, both aft and forward, has been altered and improved, and substantial comfort has been studied even more than elaborate decoration Altogether, the steamer is now in first-class order, and in speed and Accommodation will take a foremost place in the intercolonial trade. The Claud went down the river yesterday morning, and took a preliminary spin down the bay to test the engines, which were found to work with much ease and smoothness.- Argun, September 13.
