The exact stay of the Sappho in harbor has uot been fixed, but she will probably lie here a fortnight. The corvette will be thrown open for inspection to visitors to-morrow afternoon. The Arawata on the passage down had a somewhat rough trip of it. She was to have left Melbourne at 2 p.m. ou the 12th, but was detained three hours waiting for the mail steamer. Port Phillip Heads were passed the same evening, and met with fine weather for the first two days, when it commenced to blow hard from the S.W. A heavy sea quickly followed, in the trough of which the Arawata rolled about at a good rate, at times going rail under. Several big fellows came right over the top of the bridge filling the boats with water. Everything was battened down, but notwithstanding this a large quantity of water found its way below. This kind of weather lasted until arriviug at tlie Bluff on the morning of the 17th. Ou the passage up the New Zealaud coast rough weather was experienced as far as Lyttelton, theuce light airs and calm with smooth sea. The Arawata was to have left Wellington at 8 p.m. ou Thursday, but the order was countermanded, and steam ordered for 6 o'clock on Friday morniug, shortly after wbich hour she sailed for Nelsou, arriviug here at 4 p.m., having come along under easy steam the whole way across. The Arawata left for Melbourne via Southern ports at 8.20 this this morning, and will probably arrive iv Wellington this afternoon. She leaves there io. Lyttelton to-morrow afternoon.
