The s.s. Taupo, Captain Macfarlane, came alongside the Queen’s wharf at 11 aim. yesterday. She left Onehunga at 10.40 a.m. on the Ist inst., and arrived at Hew Plymouth the following day at 6 a.m. She left at 8 15 a.m., and arrived off Nelson at 8 p.m. the same day. She left again at 11.30 a.ra. on the 4th nst., arrived at Picton at 6.30 p.m., and left at 645 am. yesterday, arriving as above stated. Experienced fresh westerly, and N.AY. winds, with heavy confused sea, to Nelson ; and from thence light variable winds, with moderate weather. The barque Anne Melhuish, Captain Chadwick, left Newcastle on the 23rd ult. Had four days’ light easterly winds after leaving Newcastle. It then changed to a S.W. and westerly wind, and so continued until Saturday last. The wind then changed round to the S.E., with light baffling winds. Sighted Cape Farewell on Sunday morning. Experienced light baffling winds from thence up to arrival in Wellington harbor at C p.m, yesterday. The voyage throughout was uneventful. We have to thank the captain for flies of Sydney and Newcastle papers. Lytte ; tonj Ca p t a i n Scott, sailed for Kekeranga, with cargo for that port transhipped at Blenheim. . , , The schooner Eeliance has received a complete overhaul on Coffey’s slip. *VVe learn by private telegram that the ship w aikato arrived in Lyttelton harbor, after a passage of 88 days from land to land. _ The ship Haldone shifted to the berth recently occupied by the Teviotdale, ■which is also the one usually occupied by her while in this port. The Rodney is expected to haul off into the stream this day, and will probably sail for Melbourne tomorrow. ARRIVAL OF THE KINFAUNS CASTLE. The composite clipper ship (A 1 15 years) Kinfauns Castle, under the command of Captain Robert Kidd, left London on July 4, experienced favorable weather, and had a rapid passage to the meridian of the Cape. Afterwards the prevailing winds wera easterly until she arrived at 46° S. and 80° E., when she encountered a perfect hurricane from the S.S. W., which blew away the lower main and mizzen topsail, also the maintopgallantsail from the yard. For the safety of the sliip and the animals on board the captain kept her before the wind. This hurricane lasted six hours, and then moderated into a hard gale. Four of the sheep on hoard were so severely bruised by the heavy rolling of the ship that they soon after died. The weather for the rest of the voyage was most unfavorable for making a good passage. The captain was obliged to go south about, as the northerly wind prevented him from taking the passage through Cook Strait. The Kinfauns Castle arrived off the Heads at 10 p.m. on Sunday, and hove-to for a pilot, but did not receive one until 4 p.m. on Monday last. She finally cast anchor in harbor yesterday at 7 p.m. The crew and passengers are all in good health. The captain further inform# us that the ship, from the nature and stowage of the cargo, rolled so heavily during the passage that he fully expected that she would be dismasted before his arrival in port.
