ARRIVAL OF THE- S.S. HINEMOA. . .Shortly after six o'clock yesterday morning the <Cblonial Government's new steam yacht Hinemoa pat in an appearance in the port, and shortly afterwards was lying at anchor a few yards off the wharf, where ahe remained all day. The Hinemoa has been constructed by Scott and Co., of Greenock, and was launched in the month of June last to the order of ! 'our Government. She was built from plans by Capt. Johnston, of the Marine department. The plans have been strictly, adhered to in the main, though in ,-a iew particulars they have been departed from. However, as the vessel lies in the stream she looks one of the-finest shaped craft of her size that has ever entered this harbor. Her run is almost imperceptible, and nothing finer could be conceived. Her delivery Is clean, and the stern beautifully modelled and nicely ornamented. She possesses scarcely any sheer, and the stem is constructed somewhat after .. the,fashion of the Taranaki and 'Wellington, -but not so straight; which gives her more the appearance of a yacht. The figurehead is the bust of a female hold' isg a trumpet to her mouth. ‘ The Hinemoa is about the rise of the Wellington, and measures 207 ft. in 1 length, beam 25ffe., depth of hold 15ft., gross measurement 542 tons, and registered tonnage 282. Her rig is that of. a three-masted schooner. The masts are constructed of iron, with the exception of the top portion of the foremast, which is composed of pitch ipine, and they are raked aft. Each of the three masts carries a jibheaded trysail running up to the masthead, and a large staysail. She has also a square foresail, foretopsail, and topgallant sail, and a jib which runs ‘out to the bowsprit end. As to whether her hull is flirasily built or not is a question which cannot yet.be answered ; but we can state without fear of contradiction, that her cabins, decks, and machinery have no superior in' these waters. True, her cabin is not so very gorgeously fitted up, all that gingerbred finely having been omitted, and plain and solid conveniences substituted. She has no forecastle of any description ; and in front of the deckhouse, which is amidships, she looks remarkably free from lumber. The deckhouse itself is a special feature of the vessel, measuring-in. length about 50ft., and being the whole width of the-steamer. .On top of it is a companion, and .a large open staircase leads down to the sleeping apartments. A long corridor runs the whole length of the deckhouse, at either end of which are doors opening o.ut upon the ‘ deck. By this arrangement with the doors open a current of air could be admitted fore and aft, which in hot weather would be much needed. On either side of this' corridor are placed the sleeping apartments, each of which is very conveniently fitted up, and contains accommodation for two persons, the beds being la „ the sofa style. In every compartment there are the usual conveniences, including wash-basin and looking-glass. There axe nine sleeping apartments altogether, six on the port ride and three on the starboard. On this latter side is situated a room specially built for his Excellency the Governor. It is about the size of three of the others, and is very tastefully fitted up. The most noticeable feature in it is a handsome mirrorand large table with a marble slab on top. Besides these there is a room connected with his, which contains an excel* lent hath about six feet long, and which can be easily converted into a shower-bath. The whole ofthe sleeping apartments can be made into one by means of doors on 4ach side. The paint used is a very pale green, and the cornices and mouldings are richly gilded. The pillars are composed of cedar richly polished, on the top of which arc placed the lamps, which do double duty both in Ughtingjthe corridor and sleeping apartments at night. By day light is admitted from the top through a large skylight, which also supplies light, besides the port lights, to the ; saloon through an oblong. space. cut through.the main deck, and which is nicely railed round. The saloon, which is situated undorneath the sleeping apartments, isveryhandsomely decorated, and. although notgaudily fitted up,' has a pleasing effect. ,being richly painted, and gilded. There are two polished mahogany tables, one on each ride, running nearly the whole length of the saloon. Both together can seat sixty people, the number which the sleeping cabins accommodate. The seats used on one side of the tables—those next the walls—are very handsome chairs, and on the other -rides are long seats with patent swing backs. Down each ride of the saloon are arranged a number of bed sofas,, covered with cushions in green velvet. As one steps into the saloon, on either aide Is a large state room, richly and conveniently furnished, and at the other end is a similar one on the port side, while on the ■ starboard side there is a pantry. These state rooms are intended for the use of ladies exclusively. The saloon la provided with a piano, shelves for library, large mirror, and btheyaccessones. The floors of the cabin and sleeping apartments are covered with handsome Brussels, carpets. In fact,. the saloon is one of the finest and best-appointed of its kind to be found in any boat, and doubtless our travelling legislators, and all who are favored with a trip in her, will appreciate the comfort and luxuriance which are to be found on board the Hinemoa. Abaft the deckhouse Is the entrance to the stokehole, and next the smokestack, which, like the masts, has a considerable rake aft. The galley is also in this part of the ship, and is in keeping with every other portion of the vessel. Further aft than the galley is situated the engine-room, measuring 27ft. in length. The engines are a splendid specimen of mechanical genius, and do infinite credit to the builders, Messrs. Scott and Co., of Greenwich. They are compound* suriace condensing engines, of 160 h.p. nominal, capable of being worked.up to over 700 h.p. fleripewis estimated at ova; twelve miles an hour, on an average consumption of ‘lO tons coal per diem ; but we are Informed that If pushed she could do over fourteen. The engines have been constructed more for power than, speed, as her high pressure cvlindermcasures 83in. In diameter, and the low prossure one 58/ while the stroke Is Bft.- Thev are very jnasrivO/ compact,; and . extremely well finished.

and possess all the latest improvement. She has two boilers, which can be made independent of each, other, and thus the engine may bo with only oneboilersteaming. Abaft the panlon and winding staircase leading to the offleera quarters This compartment la fitted np very-nicely, the sleeping berths being jery large and well ventilated. The Hineraoa can he steered either from tho handled 3 M°a 'sWff deckhouse is the hatchway, which is worked by “.P/V 6^.30^ 0 cylinder steam winch; this winch also connects on to one of Harflelds patent windlasses. Forward of tthe hatchway is a second cabln. which can accommodate about thirty people, itls ratlier dark and dismal. The crew have d " rin „?. occupied this portion of the vessel. . lh “ r ,^ ua yf. are further forward. There are four boats, to wh oh are attached the usual modern appliances for lowering them. The following are the names of her officers.— Commander, Captain A. Watson ; first officer Mr. Coffey ; second officer, Mr. Waugh ; chiefeugineer Mr. McLean. The crew number thirty all told. We thank Capt. Watson for the following relative to the trip out:—Left Greenock on July 8, and had a good run out of the Channel, subsequently experiencing light IN.E. trades to the Equator. Called at Capo Islands, and stopped three days coaling. Afterwards had strong south-east trades until reaching the Cape of Good Hope, where a stay of eight days was made, two and a half days also being spent at bt. Helena. Had strong westerly winds, and made the run from the Cape to Adelaide in 26 days. Left there on the 21st ult., and had fine weather till making this port yesterday morning as above. Although she came out here under easy steam, the passage was made in 68 days, excluding all stoppages. Regarding the £I6OO worth of plate which was telegraphed from Adelaide as being on board, we are informed that the statement is without foundation. It was casually stated that there was so much plate on board, and the Adelaide papers getting hold of the rumor published it, which was telegraphed here as fact.
