The Victory, one of Willis's line of ships under charter to convey immigrants to this province, arrived on Saturday night, with so little fuss of preparation or that not all the town knew of her arrival till the next morning. She brings an addition of just 200 souls to the population of the province, and has landed them in good health and condition. The voyage of the Victory extended over 104 days from anchorage to anchorage. She left Gravesend first, on the 21st January, and got as far as the Nore, where she brought up, but after breaking her windlass and losing an anchor and chain, she returned to Gravesend, and proceeded to sea again on the 29th. On the 3rd of February the pilot left her,but, meeting with severe weather and contrary winds, she did not find herself more than 60 miles from Cape Clear on the 12th February. From that time and place the voyage has been a rapid and reasonably agreeable one; the latter portion of it indeed was got through with great rapidity, and no delay was sustained on the coast of New Zealand, as two days from the time of making the Snares sufficed to bring the ship to her anchorage. One iceberg was seen on the voyage, but no other incident occurred worth record. The passengers speak in high terms of the kindness and attention received from Captain Stephens and his officers, as well as of .the skill and obliging, disposition of the surgeon, Dr] Murphy. As will be seen by the list there are in the Victory, as is usual in all emigrant vessels for this port, riot -only steerage immigrants: but also second cabin and cuddy passengers, among whom are two or three gentlemen returning after a visit to the mother country. The complement of 198 souls is made up of 130 adults, 60 children between one and twelve years of age, and eight infants. In this catalogue the changes which occurred by births and deaths on board'are not included. As to nationality there are 143 English, 32 Scotch, 7 Germans, and 16 Irish. The ofliciai list, as is too often the case, though pretending to classify the passengers by. their occupations, sets down every man in the steerage list as a; 'labourer,' without distinction. We are therefore unable to give a correct list of the trades represented.

The William Watson, a smart barque of 500 tons, and one specially a favorite in Auckland, where she has frequently traded, arrived on Sunday morning last. The account of her voyage is rather lamentable.- :She left Newcastle on the 27 th ulto, with a cargoof live stock, consisting of 150 heifers, 40 mares, and 800 sheep. Moderate breezes and cloudy weather were experienced till the 2nd inst., during which time 3 heifers, 5 sheep and 2 horses died. On the 2nd, fell in with strong breezes from the S.S.W., which freshened with squalls and a heavy sea, shipping water over all. On the sth and 6th, the weather grew worse, with a tremendous sea getting up, the vessel labouring, heavily and shipping a great quantity of water, requiring continued pumping. A number of the sheep were drowned and others died from being trampled on ; several horses also perished. On the 7th, the wind shifted to the westward and the gale continued to rise ; the sheep on deck were washing about, those below were drowning, and most of the horses and cattle were down. The decks were then cleared of the sheep and fittings. The same day, a heavy sea broke on board and did considerable damage. On the Bth the gale began to moderate, when the opportunity was taken to clear out the dead animals from below. That day, land (Cape Farewell) was sighted; and forth'e rest of the passage, moderate breezes and occasional squalls were experienced, the cattle and horses continuing to die by twos or threes. When Lyttelfcon was reached onthe 15th, 50 heifers, 23 mares, and all the sheep but 6 were lost. All who know Capt. Macfarlane and his ship will agree that it was through no fault of either that the unfortunate result was occasioned.-

The Lord Ashley, which left here on Thursday evening last, had not arrived at Nelson when the Tasmanian Maid left on Saturday. The Prince Alfred was anchored outside the harbour, waiting her arrival, and was positively to leave for Sydney oniSunday morning the Bth instant, so that she would have six days to catch the homeward mail steamer for Australia, which was to leave Sydney on the 14th instant.— Wellington Advertiser, May 11.

The New Era.—Our little harbour steamer, late the pride of the Tarra, came up to the jetty early yesterday morning, and the occurrence of a beautiful day, which has been somewhat unusual of late, induced a large number;of the inhabitants to take advacftage of the opportunity afforded by her return to pay a visit to the Port.; She will be cleaned and painted and then set regularly to work. The great convenience of such rapid mode, of communication, will not be a little enhanced by the additional time which the conveyance of the mails to and from the port in an hour will afford for preparing replies.-r-Colonist, May 13. ■

Steam Ship Pirate.—This fine vessel cleared out on Tuesday, for Melbourne via the Bluff. She has a full cargo of produce, valued at £7000, besides upwards ,of 40 passengers, most of whom aro returning to the province.; ,She did not proceed to sea until yesterday morning, as it was blowing, a hurricane from the south-west all Tuesday and: Wednesday.—lbid. ... ,

The steamer Queen sails for Lyttelton and Wellington to-day, with several passengers, and a full quota of cargo; chiefly grain. We understand that she proceeds to Sydney next month, for thepurpose of having new boilers put in, after which it is confidently expected that she will carry everything before her on the coast.— Ibid. ■
