Tbe iron clipper ship ‘ Trevelyan,’ from Adelaide, arrived at Auckland on the 26th, after a long passage of twenty-four days. She brought 800 bags of flour for Auckland, and a small cargo for London. She has been chartered to convey some 350 troops to England, consisting of Military Train, Royal Engineers, and other troops in garrison at Auckland under orders for homo. Referring to the sea going qualities of this ship, the ‘ Southern Cross’ of the 28th ult. remarks:— “ The ‘ Trevelyan’ is a handsome iron-built clinper ship of 1042 tons register, and made her passage from London to Adelaide in ninety days, and this after being delayed beating about in the chops of the channel for ever a fortnight against most adverse weather ; in fact, she was at sea during the gale which proved so destructive to ’ the ill-fated ‘ London.’ Captain Gooch describes the gale as of the utmost violence, and was not therefore surprised to hear of the most disastrous results therefrom. The ‘ Trevelyan,’ which is always steady and comfortable in a sea way, was on that occasion disturbed fx’om its equilibrum, and was pitched with more than ordinary violence whilst the gale was at its height. The ‘Trevelyan ’ is a well-known passenger ship, and fitted with every’convenience for the purpose.” The ship * Alexandra,’ from London, arrived at Auckland on the 95th ult., after a protracted passage of 12/ days.

She is Sunderland-built, and owned by Messrs Philip, Shaw, andLowther. Her ’tween are 300 feet in length, 8 feet high, and 35 feet 6 inches breadth of beam. She is 119 days from the Lizards, after remaining 26 days in Melbourne, and discharging 2,200 tons of cargo including four of the most powerful locomotives and four tenders imported to the order of the Victorian Railway Company. . The passage to Melbourne was made in 77 days. On her previous trip the ‘ Helmsdale ’ conveyed 500 troops from Calcutta to England, and made a very fast passage.” The barque * Free Trader,’ from Adelaide, arrived at Auckland on the 25th ult., with 357 tons (2,094 bags) wheat, and 30 tons (303 bags) flour.
