The ship Howrah, Captain Greaves, hauled from the wharf on Thursday morning and sailed to the fairway. She proceeds to London on the first change of wind. The' ship Pleiades sailed from Evans Bay (after coming off the slip) on Thursday, and anchored in the stream. The screw steamer Sumner, Captain Suckling (late of the R.N.), left Glasgow on the 7th August, and proceeded to Gibralter, Malta, Port Said, and via Suez Canal to Aden. Off Socrota Island encountered tempestuous weather, and met with very serious damage. Put into Point de Galle, where a survey was held, when it was found expedient for her to proceed to Singapore for the purpose of going into dry dock, there being no means of repairing vessels at Point de Galle. Arrived at Singapore on the 28th October, where the vessel was docked and thoroughly repaired, and permitted to Xiroceed on her voyage, via the inland seas and Torres Strait, which she did —not being allowed to come round the Lewin—touching en route at Somerset settlement, where she took in stone ballast, and proceeded again on the Ist January, touching at Cook Town and Brisbane. She returned again to the latter port (after being out ten days) through stress of weather, finally leaving Brisbane last Wednesday week (9th inst.) for Lyttelton. Sighted Howe’s Island, and passed a brig, supposed to be the Summer Cloud, standing to the eastward, bound for Lyttelton. Made Cape Farewell light at 1 a. in. on Sunday, and ran through the Strait with a gale from N.W; Passed Cape Campbell on Sunday evening, when she met with very heavy weather, attended with thunder and lightning; and the wind suddenly chopped round south, and not being able to keep the ship’s head to sea, and even- indication of a continuance of bad weather coming on, and the barometer standing at 29‘30, bore up for Wellington, arriving here on Monday afternoon. The Sumner belongs to the Provincial Government of Canterbury, and is intended for dredging purposes at Port Cooper. She was built at Glasgow by Messrs. Murdoch and Murray. Her engines are of thirty-five horse-power. The Heatheote, a sister boat, arrived at Lyttelton about six weeks since, and the dredger, the Irskine, is now on her way out. The Sumner experienced from Brisbane to Cape Farewell Spit fine weather. She left again on Tuesday for Lyttelton. ARRIVAL OF THE WARWICK. The fine iron ship Warwick arrived in harbor on Tuesday, in tow of the s.s. Ladybird. She left London (East India Docks), on November 12tli, and Gravesend on the 15th. Experienced very heavy weather in the Channel till the Lizards was passed on the 22nd. From thence light winds and fine weather to Madeira, which was sighted . on Ist December. Crossed the Line on the 19th, in longitude 24‘8 west. Got the south-east trades on the 29th, and passed the meridian of the Cape on sth January, in 21‘2 west. Sighted Gough Island on the Bth January, with fresh breeze from the westward. From this date to the 20th, had light southerly and easterly winds. When in latitude 45"35 south and longitude 45‘15 east, met with thick fog and drizzling rain up to the 26th, when she encountered heavy gales and cross sea. January 29th. —Heavy sea, ship laboring heavily and shipping large quantities of water, washed away the foremost sheep pen, taking one of the ewes and severely injuring her. Another heavy gale occurred on the 10th February, when she shipped a very heavy sea, washing the midship pen away. The sheep were got together again all right. Sighted the Snares on the 17th inst. Passed the Nuggets on the morning of the 18tli. Had light variable winds up the coast. The Warwick brings thirty valuable ewes and three rams, prize sheep, Lincoln breed, and two lambs, consigned to Mr. Walker, of Cambridge, in the province of Auckland. The following vessels were spoken on the voyage November 30, latitude 36'23 north, longitude 17'47 west, barque Jane Spotter, from Liverpool to Adelaide ; December S. 18‘47 north, 21'8 west, barque Deerfoot, from Cardiff to Canterbury; 13th, in in 11-41 north, 21*22 west, Swedish ship Foreningen, from Cardiff to Rangoon ; 17th, 3'52 south, 23'20 west barque Forewood, from Liverpool to Valparaiso; 22nd, 5'56 south, 32‘10 west, ship Aberconnell, from London to Adelaide ; 27th, in lat. 17'17 south, 33 50 west, schooner Rebecca T. Moulton, from New York to Sydney ; 29th, lat. 24'32 south, 31'32 west ship Sir John Ross, from London to Sydney. On the whole the Warwick has had a pleasant passage. There was not a single case of sickness during the voyage. She comes consigned to Messrs. Levin and Co. ARRIVAL OF THE HURUNUI. The fine ship Hurunui, of 1026 tons, Captain Boyd, arrived in harbor on Wednesday from London, after a passage of 87 days from land to land, and 92 from port to port, and brings 186 statute adults, all well, which speaks highly for the captain and Dr. Houghton, the surgeon-superintendent, both of whom were presented on arrival with high testimonials, signed by nearly all the immigrants. She brings but one saloon passenger Miss Boyd. The Hurunui left the East India Docks on 22nd November, and Gravesend on the 24th; discharged the pilot off the Start on the 26th ; fair wind and fine weather down channel; made a fair, run to Madeira, which she passed on stli December ; experienced S.W. and AV.S.W. winds till the 11th ; had light N.E. trades for 2 days only ; got light S.E. trades in 4° north, and crossed the equator on the 23rd in long. 28°10’; light S.E. trades continued all throughout and from lat. 24° south to 31° south light winds and calms, doing but 7deg, in five days ; crossed the meridian of Greenwich on the 17th, Cape of Good Hope on the 21st; ran her eastings down in lat. 47°48’; experienced fresh and moderate N.W. winds the remainder of the voyage ; made Cape Farewell last Monday, at 10 a.m.; got as far as Kapiti at midnight, when it fell a dead calm, and the vessel drifted back ran through the Strait on Tuesday, and rounded Terawiti at 4 a.m. yesterday. The Hurunui has proved herself to he a fast sailer, her greatest runs being 324 and 297 miles consecutively, which was really the only chance she had of trying her speed during the voyage, as the weather throughout was unexceptionally fine. The only gale of wind experienced

since leaving was off Cape Egmont last Sunday night, from W.S.W., when she was hove-to for twelve hours. It is to be regretted that the pleasantness of the voyage was marred by a sad accident. On December 1 an A.B. named S. Clark, whilst endeavoring to furl the upper maintopsail was thrown from the yard, falling on deck, and killed on the spot. He never spoke. She had but four deaths, three of which were infants, and the other, Elizabeth, wife of John Dale, aged 44, from chronic disease of 1 the liver, on the 25tli of December ; and six births. She comes into port a remarkably clean ship. Through the courtesy of the captain, our reporter was shown all over the ship. Her saloon is the whole length of the poop, about 65ft. long, and fitted up in a most elaborate style. The woodwork is. of polished teak and bird’s eye maple, with gilt mouldings. She has no stern cabins, but the two largest cabins, which are 9 by 8, are in the fore part of the saloon, being amidships nearly, and consequently the more comfortable. The other cabins are all nearly as comfortable and large, being 9 by 6; and has a large and convenient bathroom. On the poopdeck there is built a splendid smoking-house, which is also fitted-up regardless of expense. AVe do not hesitate in saying she is one of the finest and best fitted-up sailing vessels that have yet arrived in this harbor.
