Yesterday afternoon almost all the immigrants by the ship Conflict were landed by the p.s. Manawatu, only a few married couples remaining on the ship. The new arrivals have th* appearance of being strong, nearcny, anu respeecaois, aud altogether compare favorably with any that have been landed in Woiiing ton for some time. On leaving the ship they all cheered the Captain and his otlicers most heartily, and on reaching shore, although evidently delighted to stand once more on terra ftrma, it was with visibleregret they bade adieu to Captain Hardy, who accompanied them from the ship. It is rarely indeed, that after a passage of three months, with over 400 souls on board, not one complaint can be found against the captain of a ship, for the re are almost sure to be some grumblers : yet in the present instance the whole of - the passengers, as with one voice, are profuse in their praise of Captain Hardy's behaviour and kindness, and both he and his officers are to be sincerely congratulated on having secured the unanimous goodwill and gratitude of so many of a class that are too frequently hard to please. The fact reflects favorably on the immigrants also. The s.s. Phoebe arrived yesterday evening at five o'clock. She left Manukau at twelve noon on the Ist inst. ; owing to the rough weather she was unable to approach Taranaki, and so stood on her course to Nelson, where she arrived at 10 p.m. on the 2nd ; left at one p.m. on the 3rd ; reached Picton at 9 a.m. on the 4th, and left again at 10.40, ariving at the wharf as above. Experienced a south-east gale since arriving at Nelson. It was anticipated that by yesterday morning the s.s. Stormbird would have arrived jit Taranaki, but that surmise has proved wrong, for it has since been ascertained that Messrs. Trumbull's steamer put back to Wanganul on Monday evening, having been three days out. The s.s. Napier has arrived at Foxton. Mutiny on Shipeoard.—The crew of the ship Neptune mutinied on June 2, when the Tfessel was leaving her dock at Liverjiool, bound for New York. After a general fight, in which knives and marlinspikes were freely used, fifteen of the mutineers were arrested, and removed to the shore,- Several persons were wounded. The Cable Steamer Faraday.—A telegram from Halifax, N.S., to New York, dated June 12, says:— The cable steamer Faraday arrived here from Portsmouth, N.H., for coal and water. Her immense size —the second largest vessel that has ever entered this harbor—and her cable gear attract much attention. She is coaling at Seatou's, and will probably sail, to return, to-morrow evening, when the Ambassador, the other steamer of the new cable company, is expected. Wreck of H.M.S. Niobe.—We have learned by telegram the wreck of this ship. The only particulars to hand are contained in the following paragraph in the New York Herald, of June 12:—The schooner John McLean, which arrived here yesterday from the wreck of H.M.S. Niobe, at Cape Blanc, Miquelon, brings the following additional particulars of the wreck:—After the Niobe struck she fell over on her starboard side to seaward. Most of the crew quartered on that 'side lost most ol their clothing and effects, whilst those on the port side saved theirs. She is full of water, and breaking up underneath. Nearly all the materials will be saved. Divers will be employed about the wreck, saving material. Atlantic Steamino.—From a New York paper to hand,' we learn that two of the fastest trans-Atlantic steamers arrived there during the night of the 9th of May, after a sharp race from Queenstown. Both vessels sailed thence on the Ist of May, and made the following days' runs:—The Adriatic, of the White Star line—24o miles, 323, 33G, 308, 314, 319, 350, 330, 223. The Inman, steamer, City of Chester—229 miles, 354, 362, 343, 320, 320, 301, 303, 143. The Adriatic started five hours and a half ahead, and arrived in port five hours ten minutes'before the City. The average outward passages of the principal lines from Ist January, 1872, to 31st March, 1874, were—White Star, 9 days 21 hours 21 minutes ; Cunard, 10 days 19 hours 42 minutes: Inman, 11 days 10 hours 39 minutes ; National, 12 days 10 hours 30 minutes ; i Grison, 12 days 12 hours 10 minutes. A Danoerous Voyacie.—The schooner Orwell, of 160 tons, wa3 stranded at Port Macdonell fourteen months ago. She was lately got off the shore, and twenty-five hands were shipped, thinking they would be able to keep her free from leakage. After getting well to sea, running under a stiff breeze, the water began to gain rapidly on them, the crew working desperately at the pumps. Fortunately the wind kept favorable, as when off Belfast she had seven feet in the hold, and gaining fast, and crew completely exhausted. Having worked at the pump 3 for twentyfour consecutive hours, they lost heart, believing she would founder. The vessel was got into the River Mayne by the help of the harbor-master, when the water was soon within eighteen inches of the dock.
