AERIVAJj AT AUCKLAND OF THE BARQUE CORONILLA, FROM LONDON.

(Frani t£e New Zealand Herald, 23rd July,) The barque Coronilla, 500 tons, commanded by Capt, Mossop, arrived in bartor at an early hour yesterday from London, after a protracted passage of 121 days. The Coronilla is an iron ship, and comes into port in a most cleanly and orderly condition, Soon after coming to an anchor at the Heads she wa9 visited by Dr, Philson, the Health Officer, who, having made the usual examination, pronounced the ship to be free of disease, and the Health Officer's flag was, accordingly, hauled down. The vessel did not come up, however, in consequence of having powder on board. The following is the report of the passage, from which it will be seen that the vessel has encountered very adverse winds since off the West Coast of Australia, her passage thence having occupied a month :•<—The Coronilla left London on the 21st March ; passed through the Downs on the 22nd, and carried a leading wind down the Channel, passing Ushant on the 25th. She then encountered a strong S.W. gale, which lasted for six days, during which time she made but little progress. Favorable light breezes were afterwards met with till the N.E. tradt s were picked up ©n the 9th April. They were light, and were carried as far as the Equator, which was crossed on the 24th of the same month. On the £6tb, caught the S.li. Uades. These were also light and unetewly* Lost tlan eu the 7th M»y.

Afterwards had strong westerly winds, and passed the meridian of the Cape on the 25th May. Westerly winds continued till making coast of Australia. During a period of twenty days the barque traversed a distance of nearly 5000 miles. She ran down as far as, 50 deg. S. A continuance of easerly winds, with the exception of- three days, prevailed till the 18th inst., when a westerly breeze springing up, the Three King 9 were sighted on the following day, and* with a leading wind down the coast she passed Tiritiri yesterday morning, and anchored as above. Only two ship 3 were sighted during the voyage, but neither of them connected with the colonies.
