As an instance of her sailing qnalities it may be mentioned that she has performed the round voyage from Lyttelton to Newcastle and thence to Nelson in under 29 days. This includes a detention of 7 days at Newcastle. Being of a very heavy draught of water, and owing to her coming at the worst time of the neap tides she will not be able to enter the harbor until tomorrow. She is now being lightened by the ' Awaroa, which will take between 40 and 50 tons out of her. The Wallace steamed out to her yesterday afternoon with the object of towing her in, but had to return without fulfiling ber mission.

She retorns to the West Coast on Saturday. Regarding the Arctic ship Resolute, Mr John Barrow, on June 19, writes to the Times as follows :— " Sir,— Many of your readers will agree with Mr Parker Snow that it would he a pity to break up the old Resolute. Independently of her having done good aervice in the Arctic Seas, in search of Franklin, under tbe command of two highly distinguished officers, the late Sir Horatio Austin, K.C.8., and the late Sir Henry Kellett, K.C.8., there is a remartcable history attached to her. It will be remembered that after being abandoned io tbe ice she drifted 1200 miles, and was picked up by Captain Buddington, of the American whale ship George Henry, purchased and fitted out by the American Government, who sent her to England under Captain Harstein, and presented her to the Queen on December 16, 1856. her Majesty having gone on board, with the lamented Prince Consort and several members of the Royal family, at Cowes, and received her at the hands of Captain Harstein. Ap interesting engraving commemorative of the event, from a picture painted by Mr Simpson, was published by Messrs Colnaghi. It would be but a poor compliment to the United States, wbich so nob*y and generously aided in the search, to break her up as intended."
