The ship Himalaya quitted her anchorage under the lighthouse on the 23rd - January, and working in with the tide but against a strong westerly wind, reached an anchorage.off the of:Evans Bay at 11 o'clock same night. Her passage throughout has witlrthe exception of experiencing some heavy weather in the Southern Ocean, been uneventfuland the health of the passengers,: of whom she'has a large complement, was excellent throughout, thanks to the great care bestowed upon them by Dr: De, Lisle! and the attention'and kindneßS of Captain Grant and his officers. However, there was one scene which tends in some degree to mar the pleasure of the passage, although it happened in harbor. We

allude to a disturbance which took place between the chief officer and one of the crew. It appears that a seaman became very refractory and refused duty, and went into the Moa, which was lying alongside ready to depart. The mate asked the man to come on board but he refused, and when the former called the attention of the captain. to !the m"an.'s conduct, the latter used insulting language to the mate, which so exasperated him that he struck the offender.with a belaying-pin •brittle head 'arid liridcked hirh, down. Two more of the crew also ibecame refractory,* one refusing duty and another attempting ,to strike, the mate with an axe, and then U)e captain had to .hoist the flag for the police; who pat off and br'ou'ght'them ashore. The passage made byHh'e Himalaya has been rather long, extending over. 109 days; but she r had very unfavorable weather, to the. Line, in fact almost to the Cape, and'when running down her casting the winds •were occasionally rather •strong-,".which' left their mark upon her by well'washing 'her hull of the paint. She sailed from Gravesend on October 9, experienced fresh S.W. winds down the. Channel, clearing it on thel4th: Light variable'winds were experienced to the Line, which was crossed on November 20, the N.E. trades being non est,- The S.E. trades were found and prove! moderate ;'crossed the meridian of Greenwich on. December 9, and rounded the Cape of Good Hope on the' 14th with" the usual' strong westerly winds, and passed: Tasmania on January 4. On the 6th instant the winds , increased : to a gale, she running before it under storm canvas. The vessel did very'well, but there was a -very high sea running, which now and then toppled over the sides, flooding the decks. Qne : sea: broke. well. ori board, and managed to get ..down the.afterhatch. into the second and third-class, passenger's compartments, nodding them.' Ifalso' forced into the store-room, and damaged a; quantity of provisions., 'The wind went down in the evening, hut next day it came on again, and blew as Bard as ever, lasting for three'days, accompanied with high running sea. Had another gale on the 14th, this time from the south, whicVcontinued increasing in violence till the 16th, Tvhen a perfect hurricane was raging, the glass Standing at 28 80, and the'ship weathering,it under; Iqwer main and foretopsails. It .suddenly fell calm for a short time, and then burst out again'with redoubled fur from the N.N.E., the sea running J in all directions, and lashing about furiously.; The wind then gradually worked round, from N.N.E.. to.-W- by .N.,.and decreased. New Zealand was first sighted on the 19th at daylight,* and'at 8 sum.- the lighthouse oh Cape Farewell spit was seen. She had fine weather through,the Strait, with very: changeable winds. Passed Kapiti on the,2oth, and was 'off the' entrance at 8 p.m. on the 20th.''Took the pilot on board, and worked into the lighthouse Yagsinst a strong N.>V. wind, where she came to an anchorage. • The Himalaya has a full general cargo, and'comes consigned, to Messrs; Levin and Co. ' ' ' : '" * J : '" '' '"' J_ i ARRIVAL .OF THE LEICESTER FROM , LONDON WITH IMMIGRANTS. ! The'ship Leicester, with Government immigrants onboard, wassignalled'on January 20, and she arrived in port In tow of the Stormbirdin the afternoon, taking up her anchorage off the, wharf. The Government steam launch, containing the Customs officials, Health Officers, and 'immigration people proceeded off to her on arrival: She was soon cleared, as there was hot the least sickness of any ; serious kind on board, the Health' Officers, expressing themselves thoroughly pleased' with the cleanliness and good prder prevailing on board. The Leicester brings out about 289 statute adult 'immigrants, but only about 1 46 of them are for this port; theremainder are to bedis--trfbuted throughout Nelson; Westland, Canterbury, and.other- parts of the colony:'-'The Leicester is a composite built, ship of over 1300 tons register, and is something over ten years,old., At present she)is under charter to the New Zealand Shipping Company, and we must say that their choice of her as a vessel for the-conveyance of-ImHiigrantsto-nur shores has been a happy one, for a vessels more thoroughly suited fsr her present ' work" could" scarcely ibe found. On being" led thrpugh her by her commander; Captain Caddy, who courteously -received us on board, we were apprised' to find how scrupulously clean and tidy everything was. There was a wholesome and sweet smell" prevailing throughout the 'tween decks; and even-the usual strong perfume of the ever useful chloride of lime was absent. Even in the married people's apartment that cramming to which we have previously alluded seems to ibe avoided in this vessel, as. owing to her great beam and lofty decks the usual narrow alleyways on each side 1 — the great; fault'in the internal' arrangement of most immigrant-vessels, arid where' almost invariably dis 1 ease first breaks out—is done-away with in the Leicester. Space, too,, is not wanting in the ship, for in both the-single girls' arid-single men's compartments there is room'enough' to perform! a sefeof quadrilleswithoutexperiencinganyinconvenience. The immigrants appear _to be: a yery f desijable and wellcontented lot of people, and speak in very favorable terms of the treatment they received on the voyage ■ but. The dietary scale was excellent'and' satisfied every one. Dr. Warren is the surgeon superintendent, and! his,-duties on the trip out were not of a very arduous character, the health 'of the immigrants throughout being excellent. . There were, two deaths :'of infants on -the- voyage and three; births. .There was no lack •of s i amusement coming out, concerts, theatrical, performances, &c.,' being frequently held; which in 'a great measure re-' "Ueved the monotony of the long sea voyage.' A paper, was also published hanied' the "Leicester Gazette," and on one occasion a very interesting baby show was held, in which,the entries were, very numerous, and the competition keen,- which* gave the judges some difficulty in awarding prizes. Indeed the passage. : throughout tfas;a;most delightful one, and the cbeer r fuilaughfer and, bright countenances of the immigrants thatgreet'ed one'ori board is sufficient proof that they'have been well treated'by the captain, surgeon, and officers:/ theiGoYerriiinentiJmmigrsjits,. the'Leicester brings 12 t salpon whose, names will'be. found under this proper heading. | ■ i were presented to; the Captain and Doctor, "i ■:•■') ":::::'■{'.'.■; ,ucA >rl j ... , L4Unch ; 6f thFJorea. - j'~ r - ? 'The yacht built' by Mr. E: AY. Mills"for Mr. Red: wood-was launched ion Saturday;'January 13. The' little vessel and the surrounding:portions of the foundry were gaily decorated with There were a large number of visitors present, afid everyone admired her handsbnie model as she lay pn the stocks. At 3.30 p.m. everything! was in readinejs, and just before she moved down the launchways Mrs. E. W.

It is needless to; enter 'into a description of ;her here, i as ;weihave on several occasions given full particulars'as the-work of construction progressed; but we must say'that she far excee'ds'in beauty,-as ! she lies in the water,, any opinion we had formed of her when she'stood On. the 1 stocks. She looks.now a regnlar-beanty in-every ie-> spect, her exquisite lines showing, out t)0 ; great advan'tage; but some people' whb saw her wheh constructing expressed an opinion that 1 she' was tobfine, ! would ; be abad.se'aboat;;i.However,;a glance;at Jieir.now will convince them that she has plenty of bearing, above water, a good shear, and, sits well aft—qualities which every seaboat possesses.'
