The time-ball may be used to-day for rating chronometers. A chronometer true on Greenwich time will shew 30min. when the ball drops. Any difference is error, plus or minus, of the chronometer. The following further particulars as to the ship Rodney will, no doubt, be interesting. The ship Rodney is a large new iron clipper, built especially for passenger traffic, to the order of Messrs. Devitt and Moore, of London. Her length is 245 ft.; her breadth, 38ft.; and her depth, 22ft, Cin. The length of the saloon is 80ft., and it has berth accommodation lor sixty persons. Each cabin is 10ft. square, and is fitted with a marble lavatory, the water being laid on to each, while a plug at the bottom permits the escape into the sea of the waste water. While the saloon is supplied with all that a refined taste could desire, the accommodation for passengers of smaller • 'means has .received no less consideration. The steerage berths are arranged with a clear space between them and the sides of the vesseL Light is admitted by the ports, while permanent ventilators keep up a supply of fresh air. These ventilators are arranged at intervals all round the sides of the ship. The ship is fitted with all the latest improvements. She has a patent steering apparatus and steam winch. The steam condenser can distil 500 gallons of water daily. The galley will admit of cooking for 500 pasSo XfceGovernment have presented Captain Carey, of the Wellington, and Captain Worsp, of the Phcebe, with a purse containing ten guineas, in recognition Of their services for their promptness in delivering the San Francisco mails of this and last month.

She left Port Chalmers on Saturday afternoon, having on board the Suez mail ex Albion, and arrived at Lyttelton next morning at 9.45. She left at 4.30 the same day, and arrived in Wellington as above. She experienced a strong S.W. wind for the first four hours after leaving Port Chalmers, and N.W. winds the rest of the voyage. While at Dunedin she underwent her periodical overhaul of scraping and recoating with whitelead and tallow. The following address has been presented to Captain Loutltt, of the Rodney, by the whole of the immigrants:—"‘We, the emigrants onboard the ship Rodney, from London to Wellington, beg to express onr warmest thanks to you. Captain Lontitt, for your gentlemanly conduct and extreme kindness and attention to the wants of, and the furtherance of the comforts of, all on board. Also, for your anxiety in seeing, night by night, after the safety of the ship, and the 'tween-decks in particular, and doing your utmost, without regard to labor, to see to the safety of all passengers. One point, and that one of the most important, must not be overlooked ; that is, the formation of a fire brigade, and drilling all the passengers in boat exercise, so that in the hour of danger every man knows what to do, and where to place himself. The formation of these brigades, and the efficiency to which we have attained, is due to the unremitting care and attention of you. Sir,—Wo trust, and most earnestly hope, that in all your future voyages round the world, you may always have the guidance and protection of the One Great and Common Father of us all. Before parting with you, we cannot but express the thanks of all for your skilful and scientific navigation, amidst all perils of the ocean, and we beg to subscribe ourselves, &e.”
