AEBIVAL OF THE SHIP STBATHALLAS. The splendid A 1 clipper ship Strathallan, under command of our old friend. Captain Paddle, made her anchorage in the roadstead shortly after 1 o'clock on Sunday, the 17th inst., as we noted in our last, after a run of 109 days The following are a few extracts from her log book • The Strathallan left Gravesend on 30th Au°rist • passed the Seilly Islands on the 6th September. Experienced beautiful weather with light winds and calms after leaving the English Channel, which continued for a long time • the noreast trade winds were of very short duration. Pasaed Madeira on the 20th Sept., and lost the trades on the 28th in lat. 12 o north. Crossed the equator on the 13th October—being then 4i days out. This was an unusually long time, which may be accounted for by the unfavorable weather she had experienced. In lat. 3=> north signalled the Boston ship Chariot of Fame—that vessel having left two days before the Strathallan; she also saw other vessels equally long out. After crossing the equator got the S E trades, hanging to southward, and lost them in the tropic of Capricorn, long. 33 ° 20 west. On the sth November crossed the meredian of the Cape of Good Hope, in lat 41 «> 10 south. Experienced several very heavy snow squalls m running down the easting—the weather exceedingly cold. On the loth, passed within 145 miles of Kerguelen Land, from which time till arrival here, sea-weed was visible almost every day. On the 30th, rounded Van Diemen's Land to the southward; and at daybreak on the 6th December, sighted the Snares. From thence to Banks' Peninsular had a dead beat against strong N.E. winds frequently blowing a gale. On the 7th was off Stewart's Island to the southward; and was beating up the coast on the 9th. llad a splendid view of Dunedin when she passed Otago harbor. Exchanged signals with the s.s. Eangatira on the 10th, as she was coming out of the harbor, steerin" to the northward. This we learnt from the captain of the steamer. On the night of the 13th experienced a heavy squall from the S.W., with thunder and lightning—the first fair wind she had had for some time. It only lasted a few hours, however, and the ship had to beat up the coast against N.E. winds from thence to this port. On Sunday the 17th, at noon, rounded Cape Kidnappers, and came up to the anchorage in 1J hours after. She looked really splendid as she came up—it blowing a stiff nor-easter at the time. The passage, though a long one, has been a very pleasant one; and all hands unite in awarding to Captain Paddle the greatest praise for his kindness and attention to them while on board. The Strathallan brings 7 saloon, 4 second cabin and 17 steerage passengers—making a total of 28 souls. This fine ship is now discharging her inward cargo and will commence to load wool for London as soon after her discharge as possible. We trust to hear of her having a quick and prosperous voyage home. ABEIVAL OF THE S.S. BEATTTIFTrL STAB. The favorite regular-trading s.s. Beautiful Star, Captain Morwick, arrived in the roadstead at 4 o'clock on Tuesdav morning last, 19th inst. She left Auckland at 7 p.m on Saturday, the 16th. and had fresh N.E. winds, with fine weather, throughout the passage. Sighted the s.s. Eangatira on Monday afternoon off Gable End Foreland; also same night, H.M.S.S. Eclipse. The Beautiful Star brings about 20 tons general tnerchan. dise, and 7 officers* chargers, for the Government. Captain Morwick reports the arrival of the Esk the dav he left; he also reports the arrival of the p.s. Huntress from Tauranga on the 15th, and her departure on the 16th" for the East Coast.

Evidently it was their intention to make a voyage of it. v A Mistake.—Our contemporary has fallen into a slight error which on behalf of Capt. Seymour, of the Eangatira. we-would desire to correct; viz;-that he did not report the circumstance of having spoken the shipstrathallano* Otego. "We are in a position to state that Capt, Seymour did report the fact; but it would have been useless to haTe puoashed such, as both veste-s entered Napier the same day
