Abkival of the Ballaeat.—The Now Zealand Herald, of the 23rd October, says:— The fine barque Ballarat arrived in harbor yesterday afternoon, and havingVbout eight tons of powder on board, was brought up oft 1 Hauraki Bay. The powder will probably be landed to-day, and to morrow the vessel will come up and receive a berth at the wharf. The Ballarat has made several vovagerf to this port, and has always mado good passages. On jthis occasion she is yery deeply laden, nevertheless she has accomplished the run in 97 days from land to land, and IQS from (gravesend. She brings a heavy cargo of general merchandise, and about 20 passengers. No picknes3 occurred during the voyage. After discharging her cargo the Ballarat proceeds to Napier, to load for England. The Ballarat is now in command of Captajn Eeynolds, Captain Allan, who w fl s for many yeara master and part qwner, having taken command of a large steamer. Capt. Reynolds will b$ remembered by many of our readers as chief officer of the Countess of Kintore, under Captain Petherbridge. We are glad to congratulate him upon his promotion, and success in life at so early an age. His first voyage in charge of a yessel to New Zealand will, we hope, only be the fore*runner of many subsequent ones, and we have no doubt from our own knowledge, and from what we can gather, that Capt. [Reynolds will be a very popular commander ■with passengers, crews and shippers.
