During the gale yesterdaj', the JSTourmahal :had to pay out so much chain that the townspeople thought she was gone adrift. The White Swan appears to be gathering ■ftresh laurels whithersoever she goeth. Her trip ■hence to Otago occupied only 23J hours, and •vback to Lyttelton 22 hours, Some passengers who went m her to Otago, and returned by the ■■same opportunity have expressed to us their highest . satisfaction with the comforts they •.experienced, and the courteous urbanity of the captain and officers on board.

The clipper barque Breaclalbane is about to change owners. On her return from the Bay of Islands, -whither she sailed for a car^o of •cattle on Thursday night, she will be transferred from the Nova Scotia to the Auckland shipping .list, having been purchased by our worthy and •enterprising fellow citizens, Messrs. Henderson sand Macfarlane. We congratulate her new ■owners on the possession of this staunch and beautiful addition to .their fleet, an addition in .every respect worthy of the best of their previous purchases. "No firm has done more to extend and improve the class of our Auckland •traders than Messrs, Henderson and Macfarlane —witness the individuals >(Spencer, Invincible <Gertrude, Gazelle, Sybil, and Breadalbane) which an quick succession have graced and augmented the tonnage of this port. The new coiner has .not been suffered to remain long at her anchorsJike the. Gazelle no grass is to gather on her copper.. Arrived..on-.Friday'last from a five -months' voyage she has debarked her numerous passengers and gone to sea again in six days This is smart work, and highly credltsfbleto-ali concerned. On her return from the Bay, the lireadalbime will, we believe, undergo a thorough -overhaul, after which she will make a trip to Sydney. .Success attend her.—Mew Zealander -May 29. '
