The C.S.S.N. Company's s.s. Lord Ashley, Capt. A. Kennedy, left Lyttelton at 8 p.m. on the 13th iust.; had light winds and fine weather till off Cape Campbell; from thence fierce southerly jscmalls and heayy sea till passing Wellington Heads at 7.30 a.m. on the 14th, arriving in the harbor at 8.30 a.m. Transhipped a quantity of pargo for Nelson to the s.s. Airedale, of which vessel Capt. Kennedy again assumed command, — Mr H. J. C. Andrews (chief officer of the Airedale) taking charge of the Ashley, which vessel left Wellington at 1 p.m. on the 15th, clearing the Heads at 2 p.m.; had strong S.E. winds across Cook's Straits, and from thence southerly wind till Arrival in Ahuriri roadstead at noon on Saturday, the lGth inst. Since her last visit to this port, (in consequence of an accident reported in these columns at the time), the Lord Ashley has been fitted with a new crank shaft, to test which a trial trip was made in Lyttelton harbor on the 11th inst. The time was as follows: —From Officer's Point to the Heads (a distance of about 5 miles), 29 minutes, the return trip being made in 31 minutes. The engines worked very smoothly, and to all appearance were better than before the nc-i cident. A strong S.W. breeze was blowing at the; time. —The Lord Ashley steamed for Auckland at, 4 p.m. on Saturday. The brigautine Mary Ann, in ballast, left port j on Friday morning, for Newcastle, N.S.W., and j Maryborough (Queensland.) j The barque Albion, with a full cargo for Nelson and Napier, arrived at the former port on the! 13th inst., having made a tedious passage of 1451 flays from Lmdon. She will come on to this port j on" discharge of the Nelson portion of her cargo. | The English May mail briugs us intelligence j of the sale arrival of the first wool ship despatched 1 from this port last season,—-the barque Jennie, Ellingwood, Captain Marshall, having reached London on the 13th May, thus making a very fair j passage of 104 days from Napier, which she left j on the 29th January. It will bo remembered that \ {'He Jennie Ellingwood was the bearer of a large j pargo of wool, flax, tallow, &c, valued at £3.1,718 25., which will, we trust, meet with ready sale at remunerative prices. A good deal has been said at different times jibout the difficulty experienced by large vessels in entering the harbor of Otago, but the following extract from the Witness, of the 9th inst., seems to show that the danger has been considerably over-rated :—" The ship Achilles, from London, arrived off the Heads on Sunday forenoon ; the wind being light and variable she signalled for a tug, and the Geelong proceeded down in the afternoon, took her in tow, and brought her up to the quarantine ground, wliere she was anchored. The Achilles is a ship of 1,520 tons register, and the largest vessel that has entered our port with a full cargo direct from the mother country. Her depth of water is over 20 feet, and the fact that she came through the North Channel and crossed the inner bar at least an hour before high water plainly {shows that our harbor is accessible to vessels of large tonnage, notwithstanding what has been said against it by Northern papers."
