Messrs, Turnbull and Co.'s three-masted Schooner May was expected to leave Port Louis, Mauritius, on the 10th January last, with a fuU cargo of sugars for Adelaide and Wellington. After discharging her Kouth Australian cargo at Adelaide, she, will fillup with flour for this port, and maybe expected to put in an appearance within a fortnight. From Wellington she will be despatched on her yearly voyage to Foo Chow and Hong Kong. Formerly the vessel arrived at these Chinese ports, via Newcastle, where she filled with coal; but it is the Intention of her owners, if sufficient cargo offer, to despatch the vessel direct. Already a fourth of the cargo required has been stored. * The ketch Falcon, Fisk, master, arrived yesterday afternoon from Blenheim. She crossed the Walrau bar at 7 o'clock on Thursday evening, and at midnight was within a mil© of Pencarrow light, where she anchored till yesterday afternoon. Captain Fisk describes the night as pitchy dark, Pencarrow light being only visible at times, and Somes light being totally obscured. The Falcon beat up the entrance yesterday afternoon, in company with the ketch Hunter from Kangltikci. ' ' The barque Esk, from London, entered at the Customs yesterday. .Particulars of her manifest appear above. The steamers Btormbird and Manawatu arrived yesterday morning from Wanganui. . Fresh northerly winds marked the run down, with dirty weather from Terawiti to Wellington. ■ Both vessels leave for Wanganui this afternoon, The schooner Melbourne, which left this port on Tuesday morning last for Lyttelton, arrived there yesterday morning. The steamer Otago, Captain McLean, arrived at Lyttelton yesterday morning. She will not leave for Wellington till this evening, and will therefore not bo due till about mid-day on Sunday. The barque Zelia, Captain Patey, cleared at theCustoms yesterday for Newcastle. She will sail this morning. The steamer Ladybird. Oaptaln Andrew, sailed at two o clock yesterday afternoon for Picton, Nolsdh, Taranaki, and Manukau. The ketch Hunter, Hart, master, arrived at 4.30 ‘ yesterday afternoon from Bangitikei.

The steamer Rangatira was to have left Napier last night at eleven o’clock She may, therefore, be looked for inuthis harbor about twelve .to-night. - The steamer Wellington is due here this morning from Manukau, Taranaki, Nelson, and Picton. She proceeds South this afternoon. The steamer Easby arrived at Napier early yesterday morning from Lyttelton, but it is probable she would be unable to leave for Wellington before today. The ship Berar, Captain Heigho, got under way, with lower topsails, at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, and proceeded on her voyage to Newcastle. The wind being from the northward, the Berar would doubtless stand for Cloudy Bay. .... , 11.M.5. Pkajil.— This ship, which has just joined the Australian squadron, is described as follows:—The Pearl is a first-class steam-screw corvette, ship-rigged, and is,of 2178 tons register. Her engines are nominally of 400 horsepower. Her armament consists of 17 64-pounder guns, which are old 6C-pounders bored rifle fashion to suit the new conical shot, one nas also a couple of 12-pounder Armstrong guns to use with landing parties, or for boat services The following arc the officers Commodore, J. G. Uooclenough; Secretary, W.Wakeham Perry; Commander, Alexander P. Hastings; Lieutenants, Charles L. Reade, Arthur G. Fullerton. William F. Howard F. Hay. Navigating Henry Hosken ; Lieutenant Royal Marine Light InfantryHenry Olive; Chaplin and Naval Instructor Rev. James Payton, B. A. ; Staff Surgeon Adam B. Messer, B. A., ; Paymaster William Nobble; Chief Engineer—Harry Williams ; Sub-Lieutenants— Henry B. Elwyn, James Brant, Henry C. Hawker, Andrew F. Duncan, H. A. bcudmore. Stanhope, and James Claude Faire ; Navigating Midshipman—Henry Baker ; Surgeon—Alfred T. Corrie ; Assistant Paymaster—J. P. Pearce; Engl-neers_-\Villiam A. Batts, Edwin C. Legh, James A. Cooke, and Archibald Forrester ; Midshipmen— Henry E. Goldfinch, his Serene Highness Prince Volbraith L. C. Lowenstein, Lionel A. W. Barnes, Walter R. B. Mellor, Douglas A. Gamble, and 11. R. P Flyd; Gunner —Thomas Hawkins ; Boatswain— Joseph Leech; Carpenter, James Kirk. The crew numbers 275, that is, including the officers and a number of Royal Marines. There are also about twenty supernumeraries. The Pearl is expected shortly in Port Nicholson, where she will probably remain as a training-ship for New Zealand. Arrival of tub Jeannib Louttit. —The above vessel arrived at the Heads late on Friday evening, bnt it was then too dark to make out her signals, and hence it was not until Saturday morning that her name was ascertained. As there was a. N.E. breeze blowing. Coxswain Miller, of the pilot boat, who had her in charge, brought her under canvas, to the upper part of the Cross Channel, where the breeze failing, she was anchored for the night. We boarded her there on Saturday morning, and ascertained that she had made the somewhat long passage of 114 days from Liverpool. She is a nice little barque of 492 tons register, built between four and five years ago at Kingston-on-Spcy, Moray Firth, by Mr. Kinloch. She hails from Wick, and is owned by Mr. D. Louttit, of Caithness. Until this voyage she has been confined to the China trade, and is described as a smart vessel, especially on a wind. She comes here consigned to Messrs. Guthrie and Larnach, and has a full cargo of about 800 tons dead-weight and measurement, the former predominating. Captain A. Murdoch, who commands, is on his third visit to this port. He first came here in 1850 in command of the ship Eden, the lost vessel chartered by the New Zealand Company, and he was here again in 1864, in command of the ship Kate Swanston. We thank him for the report of the Jeannie X,outfit's passage, the length of which is accounted for by the singularly light variable weather that, excepting in the S.E. trade, prevailed from the Channel to the Cape. She was seventy-two days to the Cape, and in that time she thrashed a suit of sails threadbare in the calms and light airs that were experienced as a rule. She left Liverpool on November 4th, and worked down the Irish Sea against light head winds, cleared the land on the 10th, and from soundings to the N.E. trade met with nothing but the lightest of winds and calms. The trade.was found on the.2lst November, in lat. 20*30, and after blowing a poor,-scant affair, gave out on December 2nd, in lat. 9N. Eight days of proper doldrum weather followed, consisting of calms, varied by sudden squalls from the northward, with much rain and severe thunderstorms. The severest of these passed over the ship at midnight, and is described as something terrific. At one fearful discharge of electricity the dense black canopy of clouds seemed to open and discharge a flood of fire upon the barque, the simultaneous thunderclaps being deafening. The lightning appeared to distribute all over the ship, but happily did no damage, albeit both the mate and second mate were slightly paralysed by it. The latter was cutting tobacco in his berth, and vowed that he felt the knife become hot in his hand, whilst at the same time his hand and arm were rendered powerless. At last the calm belt was passed, and the welcome S.E. trade met on the 11th December, in lat. 2 north. It proved an average trade, and was lost on the 20th December, about 24 south. The Equator was crossed on the 12th December, long. 24 W. Light variable winds attended the barque after she lost the S.E. trade until the Cape of Good Hope was breasted. On the 2nd January she passed within sight of Tristan d’Acunha, and on the 14th crossed the meridian of the Cape, in lat. 43£. On the 16th, the steady westerlies found her, and away she rattled to the eastward; ran her longitude down between the 43rd and 44th parallels; passed the meridian of the Leuwin on the Bth February, and made the high land of Stewart’s Island on the 20th. The passage, in other respects agreeable, was sadly checquered by the loss of one of the seamen overboard. His name was Alexander Isbister, and he was standing on the gangway trying to hook'on the foresheet block, which had become disattached. Whilst stooping over he lost his hold and the barque lurched, and a sea caught him ,and swept him away. This happened at noon, but as the barque was before a stiff gale, with a heavy, sea running, nothing could be done to save him. ; Captain Murdoch reports meeting a strong S.E. current about sixty miles south of the Heads, which swept him off shore, and caused the barque to lose much ground.— Otayo Daily Times, March 1.
