Had strong jST E. winds and dirty weather up to arrival. The brig Robin Hood cleared for Newcastle yesterdav but was unable to sail for that port owing to the strong N.N.W". breeze which blew all day accompanied by heavy rain. ARRIVAL OF THE UNION COMPANY’S S.S. HAWEA. This magnificent vessel, whose arrival has been anxiously looked for by the general public of Wellington, was signalled at the outer station shortly before 4 p.m. yesterday, and came alongside the Queen s Wharf at 430 p.m. The Hawea's steaming powers were fully put to the test, and considering that she had a dead muzzier from Lyttelton Heads to here, her passage of 22 hours was not a bad performance, especially as she was not in good trim, being down too much forward., Captain Malcolm, of the s.s. Maori, is in temporary command, owing to Captain Wiieeler s detention in Port Chalmers. We are also glad to welcome some old faces, viz., Mr. Ponsonby, purser, late of the s.s. Maori, and Mr. McKenzie, chief steward, formerly of the steamers Taranaki and Bruce. As soon as she was moored alongside the wharf her decks were swarmed by the public, who, after, inspecting her external and infernal accommodation, expressed but one opinion, viz., that she (the Hawea) was unsurpassed in the Australasian colonies. An elaborate and lengthy report of the Hawea has already appeared in these columns, therefore it is not necessary for us to recapitulate that report, but we must say that if space permitted we could detail at a considerable length, in our admiration of this splendid specimen of marine architecture. Several improvements have been completed to her fore cabin, which heretofore was only capable of accommodating 23 passengers, but which has been enlarged, the result being that she now can carry 60 passengers. The saloon cabins are fitted up with patent swing lamps, and water is laid on in each, which is one of the most noticeable Improvements in the cabin. Should the weather be fine to-day, the Hawea will be visited by hundreds, who will be repayed for their trouble by beholding one of the finest steamers afloat in colonial waters: The Hawea will sail for Northern Ports at midnight. ~ .
