The immigrant ship Northampton came into port yesterday morning in charge of Mr. F. Holm, the second pilot. The Northampton is a fine clipper ship of 1161 tons register, of the composite build; that is-"to say; her frame is composed of iron and her sheathing wosd, but all her lower masts, lower and topsail yards are of steel. She was built at Glasgow in 1805 by Charles Connell and Co., and is owned by the Merchant Shipping Company. The following are her "dimensions:—Length, 220 ft.; depth of hold, 22ft.; breath, 34ft. As a clipper the Northampton is justly renowned, as her first voyage to New Zealand was made in 72 days, and during several years trading to Sydney she made a number of smart passages, none of which were over SO days. She is a full poop and topgallant forecastle ship, and her saloon and deck appointments are excellent. The Northampton comes into port in first-class - order, and cleanliness seerm to have been studied throughout the ship. Wegavetheparticulars of her voyagefrom London to Nelson the other day, and to run over the main features of it now may not be uninteresting. Her voyage occupied 104 days, which was due to meeting with heavy south-west gales in the Bay of Biscay, and calms and very light winds from the Equator. In fact, during the rest of the voyage there was not enough wind to necessitate the taking in of the skysail, which remained set from the time she crossed the line to her arrival off Nelson. She left Gravesend on December 17, crossed the Equator on 29th January, rounded the Cape on the 23rd February, and made Cape Farewell on the 2nd inst., arriving at Nelson on the 3rd inst. Her passengers numbered 334 sonls, | equal to 283 j statute adnlts. about 100 of whom were ] landed at Nelson, or taken down the "West Coast, and the remainder are for this port. The health of the immigrants throughout was excellent. There I were two deaths of children, aged five years and three months respectively, and four births. The Tui will take S 3 of the immigrants to Foxton this morning, and the remainder will be landed by the Moa iu the course of the day. The Northampton left Nelson on Saturday evening, and experienced the full force of the S."W. gale, also when off the Heads had a strong N.W. gale, which during the night changed round to the S.E., with very thick weather. The topsail schooners Julius "Vogel and Hannah Barratt arrived from Lyttelton yesterday afternoon. The former-made the run in 21J hours, and the latter in 24 hours. . They both leftgLyttelton together, and had fresh southerly wind up. The schooner Shepherdess, from Havelock, arrived in harbor yesterday. The s.s. AVakatJJJtt sailed for Fort Chalmers at 4.30 p.m. yesterday. The schooner Saucy Lass, Captain Callow, bound from Lyttelton to Westport with a cargo of produce, ran into port yesterday at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. She left Lyttelton on the Gth instant, and on the 7t!i it came on to blow a gale from the S.W.; ran with it till abreast of Kaikoura, and then hove-to on Sunday morning, there being a very heavy sea running, which frequently broke over the little craft, and carried away nine stanchions, and also a considerable portion of the bulwarks on both sides. Remained hove-to till" Tuesday morning, the Pth instant, and it was found the schooner had been driven up the east coa3t as far as Pahau. On the 10th had a whole gale from the N.W.,and late that night met the S.E. wind, which brought her to the Heads, and Captain fallow deemed it prudent to rut into harbor to repair damages. Reports sighting a topsail schooner oft' Cape Palliser, supposed to be the Excelsior, which left Lyttelton for this port on the Gth inst. The barque Duke of Edinburgh will go from this port to Fiji to take a load of bullocks to New Caledonia. From New Caledonia she will return to New Zealand. • Since th? Duke of Edinburgh was last here rhe has received a most thorough overhaul, and is ■*ow in good seagoing condition. The barque Feronia arrive-l here at 1 a.m. yesterday from Ueographe Bay. Western Australia, with a cargo of timber. Her passage has occupied 32 days. "When outside the Heads on Wednesday she came to an anchorage under the lighthouse in the N.W. gale; but the cahle parted, and 40 fathoms chain and the anchor were lost. Pilot Holmes was on board during the night, and he states that the weather experienced outside during Wednesday night was the severest he has seen for some years.

The barque Anne Jtelhuish, from Newcastle, arrived here yesterday, aftr a fifteen days' passage. The Kiwi left Napier at, 3 p.m. on the 30th; arrived off Castlepoint at 7a.m.on the 11th; sailed at 3 p.m., and. arrived here at 5.30 p.m. yesterday. Had a southerly gale from Cape I'alliser. The Kiwi is expected to sail for Castlepointand Napier today. The Luna came alongside the breastwork yesterday, where one of her boilers will be taken out.

The Klngarooma, from NeUon, is expected here today. She will leave for Melbourne this afternoon. The Tui will sail this morning for Foxton. The Taranaki will arrive from the South this morning. She will go North tit midnight. The Manawatu, Captain Harvey, left Wanganui on Wednesday night at 8.30; grounded in the river for an hour opposite the new channel, and cleared the bar at 10. Experienced light N.W. wind till 2 a.m., when it came on to blown hard gale from the S.K.; came |inside Kapiti, and passed Cape Terawiti at 1 p.m. Found a heavy'pea and strong tide there, and after a hard struggle managed to round Sinclair Head at 5.30 p.m., and"arrived alongside the Queen's wharf at ".SO last night. The Manawatu will sail for Wanganui today. The Eun-jK'tu .\fnil, says:—The BenlediJJßoyd, from London for Wellington, K.Z., put hack on January 29 to the Downs, and anchored, with loss of four men washed off the jibboom. From an advertisement in our columns it will be seen that Messrs. Tu nlmU and Co. intend to place their barquentine May (immediately on her arrival from Dunedin) on the berth for Hongkong direct. As three-fourths of her outward cargo is already in store waiting, she will meet with quick despatch. Intending shippers are requested to secure space for their cargo at once.

The Stormbird left Wanganui shortly | befoie,the. Manawatu, but did not reach'port t? 11 to o'clock last night.- She experienced similar to the Manawatu, and went ou side Ivapit . The Storm bird will leave for Wanganui to-day, taking cargo for K&ngitikel. __________■
