Sailed.—l p.m., Wellington, for Wellington, with Suez mail. When the Anne.Melhuish left Newcastle the barque Herersham was undergoing a complete overhaul to her running and standing gear, a new deck was to replace the old one, and improvements and repairs of the hull were to be effected. She was to leave Newcastle for Wellington on or about the 16th instant. The steam collier Easby, Captain Kennedy, arrived in port yesterday afternoon at four o’clock from Port Chalmers and Lyttelton after a stormy passage. She will discharge 450 tons of coal to-dayinto the hulk India, and leave for Newcastle direct in the evening. The paddle steamer Lyttelton, Captain Scott, left Blenheim for Wellington yesterday at noon, and, arrived last evening at 7.30 o’clock. Strong N.W. weather was met with in crossing the Strait. The Lyttelton brings a cargo of wool for Messrs. Levin and Co., upon the discharge of which she will proceed to the Kaikouras, where she will again load with wool for Wellington. The paddle steamer Manawatu. Captain Evans, left Wanganui at four a.m. on Saturday morning last, and arrived in this harbor after a good run of twelve and a half hours. A light, north-west breeze prevailed during the run down. ' The barque Anno Melhuiah, now under command of Captain Chadwick, arrived on Saturday afternoon last from Newcastle, after a passage of fifteen davs, having left Newcastle on the evening of the 31st December. She brings 540 tons coal and 1000 feet of timber, consigned to her owner. Captain Williams. The brig signalled on Saturday is the Wild Wave, from Newcastle, with a cargo of coals for Captain Williams. She is now anchored outside the Heads, waiting a change of wind to the southward. The steamer Tararna, Captain Bawden, left for Melbourne via the South punctually at twelve o’clock yesterday. A strong N.W. wind was prevailing at the time, which she will probably cany with her till the Kaikouras ?.re passed. A rapid run to Lyttelton may be expected of her. Messrs. Turnbull and Co.'s steamers Stormblrd and Napier sailed on Saturday evening at ten o’clock, the former for Wanganui and the latter for Poston. The steamer Southern Cross having shipped a large cargo at Wellington for Napier, sailed for that port and Auckland at 5.45 on Saturday evening last. The schooner Awarua, bound to Lyttelton with coal, left the wharf in tow of the Dispatch at noon today After crossing the bar it was discovered that she had spung a leak, which of course necessitated her return to port.— G-reymouth Star, Jan. 11. Having fulfilled her mission in these waters, the French steamer Vire took a final departure from Otago on Saturday afternoon. A large party of ladies and gentlemen were entertained on board shortly before she left, and the farewells then exchanged were in all probability the termination of the very pleasant intercourse that baa so long been maintained between our Gallic visitors and the people of the province. Hearty good wishes from the latter will attend the Vire wherever she goes. Hence she proceeds to Auckland, and from thence will shape a course to Tahiti.— Otago Daily Times, Jan. 11. The s.s. Rangatira, Captain Griffiths, left Wellington at 5.30 p.m. on Tuesday last. Experienced very heavy head sea all along the coast, arriving at Napier at two a.m, on Thursday. Found heavy easterly sea rolling into the bay. At nine a.m. the steam launch came off and landed passengers and mails with great difficulty. The pilot informed us that'there had been no communication with the English ships for three days. The heavy sea continuing and there being no prospect of getting inside ort account of bar being silted up, sailed for Wellington at 11.30 a.m. on Friday, with English mails and passengers ; called in at Castle Point on Saturday morning, and arrived at Wellington at eleven p.m same day, experienced strong N.W. gale crossing Pallteev bar. Passed the schooner Herald off Pourercrc, tho Enterprise off Matikouna, and the Isabella off Riddlford's station. We hear that Captain Gourlay, late of the Natal Queen, has purchased a barque In Melbourne called the Italy, and it is expected that he will trade regularly between this port and Hobarton. Canterbury Tress, January 10. The fine barque Elizabeth Graham sailed yesterday morning, under Pilot Reed’s charge, after being detained some days by the N.E. wind. Her cargo is valued at £82,700. Many are of opinion that this vessel will bo homo as soon as the Dorette, though the latter has had a day or two start,- Ihid. Tub Chick. —Yesterday tho p.s. Lyttelton conveyed to Port Underwood the last of the wool for the Chilo from this province, together with two passengers and their luggage.

Tho Egraonfc in a new vessel of 52 tons register, this being her first trip. She was built In Dunedin by Messrs. J. ». Sparrow and Co. Her engines are high and low pressure, and of 19 horse-power. Lyttelton Times, January

The St, Osvm at Melbourne. - If the predicted and anticipated passage of forty-five days from England to Victoria has not been accomplished It has been so nearly approached that no doubt can bo entertained that the feat is only postponed.- The St. Osyth has. “ reported ” herself in forty-seven days, having been detained one da / at St. Jago, and haying had to make her way against very adverse weather during about half of the time she was at sea, so that the forty-five days’voyage is within her sea-going capabilities. Previous to leaving London the steamer was visited by a host of curious people, the predictions as to what she could do making her celebrated there, and yesterday the knowledge of what she had accomplished rendered her one of the most popular resorts of the holiday makers, who -thronged her decks and cabins, their curiosity being just about equal to the courtesy of the oflicers of the vessel on finding themselves besieged in such a manner on the first day of their arrival. The St. Osyth is the largest steamship that has ever visited Melbourne, and is named after an ancient priory in Essex, is owned by Messrs. Watts, Milburnc, and Co., of London, who own a large fleet of steamships, engaged in the China trade, and the builders, Messrs. C. Mitchell and Co., of Ncwcastle-on-Tyne, have turned out an excellent specimen of naval architecture. Her dimensions are as follow —Length over all, 417 ft.; length of keel. 339 ft. Gin.; beam, moulded, 42ft. lin.; and depth of hold, 28ft. sin.; givingherameaswoment of 3,600 tons. She has a full poop, and in the saloon there is berthing space for seventy passengers. The sleeping accommodation is aft. and the dining saloon is the entire width of the ship. It Is handsomely fitted, and there is every convenience for passengers in the way of bathrooms, lavatories, electric bells, etc. There is a separate ladies’ cabin handsomely furnished. The cooking and catering appliances are complete, and the passengers yesterday were not slow to express their thorough satisfaction with the manner in which their temporal requirements had been attended to by purser’s and steward's departments. The engines are compound, with direct action, and have worked admirably. There are three double boilers and eighteen furnaces, and the consumption of coal per diem is about 40 tons. The cylinders are 96in. and 62in. in diameter, and the piston stroke is 51in. The screw is four-bladed, with a pitch of 2Cft. The nominal horse.power of the engines is 500, and 2500 indicated. Steam is used on board for many purposes, amongst others that of steering.the vessel. There is also a double wheel aft. with patent action, and the St. Osyth. although of such large dimensions, is handled as easily as a yacht. The steamer is commanded by Captain R. McNabb, who lias been so successful in this his first voyage to Melbourne in command of a steamer that an address was presented to him at the close of the voyage by the passengers. The voyage has been- made in forty-seven days and fourteen hours, the quickest yet. The performance of the ship in a severe gale soon after passing the Cape proved her to be as steady in a storm as she is speedy. The Warhawk was chartered by the agents • to go. down the Bay to meet the steamer, and there was an enthusiastic welcome given to her when the Warhawk got alongside.—Melbourne Daily Telegraph, December 26. ARRIVAL OF THE CARNATIC. The Carnatic, a composite ship, of 000 tons register. Captain Edward M. Moon, from Loudon via Picton, came to an anchor in Wellington harbor late on Friday night last.- She left the South-west docks, London, on Saturday, September 26th, and anchored at Gravesend till the 2Sth, when she proceeded as far as the Downs, where she was again brought to an anchor owing to a strong N.W. wind blowing. Left the Downs on October 4th, tho pilot leaving the ship on the 9th, when the vessel was in the vicinity of Start Point. The passage down channel was very bad, strong winds ami gales from the S.W. and W. prevailing all the time. Neither the Maddras nor the Cape de Verde Islands were sighted. Crossed the equator on the 9th of November; and thirty days afterwards the Cape of Good Hope was rounded, strong variable winds being experienced when in itsneighborhood. Fine weather and favorable winds carried the ship down her casting. Passed to tho southward of Tasmania, which was not sighted. Thick weather marked the run from Tasmania to New Zealand, Capo Farewell being sighted on January Bth—the first land seen after leaving the Channel. Dropped anchor inside Jackson’s Head at 4 p.m. on the Sth ; where she remained for the night. Next day (Saturday) got up as far as Long where ; she again anchored, a boat being despatched with the chief officer to look for Picton and a pilot. The boat, with the pilot on board, returned the following morning at 5 o’clock. Two hours afterwards tho vessel was under way beating up the Sound, and after twelve hours’ hard work the Carnatic was anchored at the small island about two miles from Picton. On Tuesday last seven families were landed, and the following clay the remainder of the immigrants, about two hundred, left the vessel, all those for -Picton being landed by the ship’s boats. Remained at anchor in the Sound till Friday last, at 8 a.m., when sail was made for Wellington, the ship leaving by Tory Channel. Fair winds brought the vessel across the Strait till within a few miles of Pencarrow, where the wind fell light, winch delayed the vessel’s arrival till near midnight on Friday. The passengers enjoyed immunity from disease, two children only dying during tlie voyage. There was one birth. Dr. Smith was the medical gentleman in charge. The Carnatic brings three saloon passengers from London for Wellington, viz.. Dr. and Mrs. Akers, and Captain Ruck. Dr. Smith and C steerage passengers took passage across from Picton. The vessel comes under charter to the New Zealand Shipping Company, whose agents in Wellington are Messrs. Johnston and Co.
