Zealandia, which left Port Chalmers yesterday afternoon, will arrive here on -Friday morning, and sail again for Napier, Auckland, Kandarau, Honolulu, and San Francisco the same day. Messrs. McMeckan, Blackwood, and Co.’s steamer Arawata. Captain Underwood, arrived here yesterday morning at 8.30 from Melbourne, via the South. She left Melbourne at 2.40 p.m. on the 14th inst.; passed Swan Island at 10.30 a.m. next day; had light variable winds and pleasant weather until she was well up with the land, on the morning of the 18th, and then a heavy N.E. gale with high sea and thick weather met her. Steamed against it that day, and not being able to pick up the land at midnight, the engines were stopped for a few hours. At daybreak on the 19th she went on again, and arrived at the Bluff at 10.30 a.m.; discharged cargo and left at 5 p.m.; had light and fresh southerly wind, and arrived at Port Chalmers at 7 a.m. on the 21st; left there at 4 p.m. same day, and arrived atLyttelfcon at 7.20 a.m. on the 22nd; left again at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and arrived as above. Experienced light variable winds along the coast. We thank the purser, Mr. Millar, for the safe delivery of our Melbourne and Coast files. The Arawata left here last night at 10 o’clock for Nelson, and as it is expected she will go in and out on the same tide she should arrive here to-morrow night. She will leave again on Friday afternoon, with the outward Suez mail, by way of the South, touching at Lyttelton, Port Chalmers, and Bluff.

The ship Horsa sailed for Newcastle yesterday afternoon. She would probably get no further than Worser Bay, owing to the light southerly wind blowing. The p.s. Manawatu left "Wanganui at 11,30 p.m, on Tuesday; crossed the bar at 12.15a.m., and arrived here at noon yesterday. Experienced light variable winds with fine weather all the way, Reports flighting two barques and a brig off Mana Island, heading up the Strait; also the baique Auatralind off Sinclair Head. The Manawatu tyill Bail for Wanganui this afternoon.

The schooners Shepherdess and Saucy Lass for Pelorus Sound, and the ketch Ealcon for Blenheim, sailed yesterday. The s.s. Stormbird, Captain "Doilo, left Wanganui at 11.45 p.m. on Wednesday, and arrived hero at 11.30 a.m. yesterday. Had light variable winds with fine weather throughout.

The barque John Knox for Lyttelton sailed yesterday afternoon. The steamers Rangatlra and Kiwi sailed for the East Coast yesterday, the former at 4.15 p.m. and the latter at G p.m. By a clerical error on the part'of the Press Agency, a telegram in yesterday’s issue announced the departure of the steamer Ilawca for Lyttelton, instead of the Arawata. The former steamer left Port Chalmers yesterday for Lyttelton and this port. She may be expected hero on Friday morning. The s.s. Stormbird will sail for Wanganui to-mor-row, taking cargo at through rates for Patca. The twin-screw steamer Clyde took a spin round the harbor yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of testing the machinery. Everything worked smoothly and satisfactorily.

ARRIVAL OF THE BARQUENTINE ABA WIB- - FROM NEW YORK. (From the Otayo Guardian, ICth inst.)

Shortly after mid-day on Tuesday a barquontinc was reported to be off the Heads, and the steam-tug Geelong at once proceeded outside to render her assistance in towing the stranger into port. Having ranged alongside her tow-lines were accepted, and shortly after 3 p.m. the bnrquentine Ada Wiswell was anchored in the stream. After being boarded and cleared by the Customs authorities, the representatives of the Press proceeded to gain the necessary information for publication, from which we find the Ada Wiswell Is an extremely handsome barquentine of 557 tons register, and was built at Bangor, State of Maine, in 1875, this being her second voyage. She Is owned and commanded by Captain L, Wiswell. She brings 930 tons of measurement cargo from New York, jiart of which is for Bunodin and the remainder for Wellington. We are Indebted to Captain Wiswell for the following abstract of the voyage from New York to this port:—Left New York 20th April; experienced westerly winds across the North Atlantic Ocean, and picked up the N.E. trades in lat. 28 N., and carried them straight to the Equator, which she crossed on 24th May (28 days out), in long, 29 W. Carried aleading wind right into the S,E. trades, which she picked up in latitude 8 south; the trades hung well

to the southward, jamming her wdldown onthe Brazilian coast. The S.E, trades gave out m latitude 18 south, and on 3rd June then In sou h latitude 19, she met variable winds, which held till to the 16th, thence she had westerly breezes, and ran with them up to the meridian of Greenwich, crossing it on 26th June in latitude 40 south. She rounded the. Cape of Good Hope on Ist July, and encountered a strong westerly gale, the ship running before it under closereefed canvas; thence she had strong westerly winds right across the Southern Ocean, encountering a great deal of heavy weather, and occasionally shipping tremendous' seas. The easting was run down between the 4Gth and 47th parallels of south latitude, and the first landfall was made on the 13th instant, when the Snares were passed in sight. Thence along the coast she experienced westerly winds and fair weather, and arrived as above. No ico was sighted during the voyage, and only two or three vessels bound to India spoken. ' ■ '.
