The time-ball may be used to-day for rating chronometers. A chronometer true on Greenwich time would show 12h. 30min. when the ball drops. Any difference is error, plus or minus, of the chronometer. The schooner Cynthia, Captain Welsh, arrived here from Pelorus Sound yesterday morning at 9 o’clock, after a very smart round trip of a little over six and a half days.

Shortly after 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon a ship from the North was signalled, and soon afterwards her numbers were run up. which announced that the ship outside was the N.Z.S. Company's Orari, from London. There was a nice breeze from the north blowing at the time, and at 3 o’clock Pilot Holmes boarded her, and immediately commenced to beat her up the entrance. She was very smoothly handled, for at 7 o’clock she had come to an anchorage at the powder ground, although by that time the wind had fallen very light. The Orari is as deep as a sandbarge, and no wonder, for she has on board 700 tons railway iron stowed in the bottom of her hold and about 1000 tons general cargo, and consequently her passage of 95 days from anchorage to anchorage must be considered as a fair performance, although the weather at the outset of the voyage was anything but favorable for making a “run/’ The Orari is on her first voyage to this port, but she needs no description here, as she -is a sister vessel to the Hurunui and other splendid ships of that class owned by the N.Z.S. Company. Her skipper. Captain Mosey, is a stranger to Wellington, but he is well known in other parts of the colony, and he has during the passage out established himself a general favorite amongst the pasSC lUgarding her trip out, we find from Captain Mosey’a log that she left the docks. London, on the sth June: went down to Gravesend and took on board 35 tons ammunition, and left there on the 7th and the Downs on the Bth. Light easterly winds, with thick weather, were experienced down the Channel, and on the 12th the pilot was landed at the Start. After leaving the Channel the vessel was beset with light variable winds, and on the 2lst June the Island of Madeira was seen, which lay in sight fer two days owing to the very light and baffling nature of the wind. Three days afterwards the Canaries hove in sight, and off these islands she lay almost becalmed for two days, when the first of the north-east trades was experienced, which proved moderate. The ship Zealandia, bound for this port, which was sighted off Madeira, kept in company with the Orari all through the trades, until they were lost in 9deg. north. Thence the sliip was beset with strong southerly wind; and on the 11th July she bowled across the Equator, and lnt'» the S.E. trades in 3deg. south same day. This trade proved to be a fine wind, but it only lasted for 8 days, and left the ship in a calm in lafc. 23deg. S. long. 34deg. W, After disposing of a week of this doldrum weather, she encountered the first of the westerlies in the shape of a fine N.W. breeze, which took tho ship across the meridian of Greenwich on the 2nd August, and five days afterwards she rounded the Cape of Good Hope. Between the parallels of 42 and 45 she made her easting, but from the Cape to the meridian of Tasmania very unsteady weather was encountered, and not a whole twelve hours continuous wind from the same quarter was experienced all the time. A tremendously high sea was also met with, and as the vessel was very deeply laden heavy volumes of water frequently came on-board her, but ebc sustained no damage of any kind. On tho Ist instant a very heavy gale sprang up from theS.VV., with high sea, and while running before it the topsail yard was sprung, and the foresail split. On the 4th insb. sbe passed the meridian of Tasmania, and from there experienced fine warm weather, with favoring breezes from the westward, which continued till the light on Cape Farewell Spit was sighted at 9 p’clock on Tuesday night, and through the Strait she drove before a strong N.W. wind, which took her off the Heads at 2.30 p.m. yesterday, where she was boarded by the pilot, and arrived in harbor as above stated. The Orari comes into port in excellent style, both aloft and on deck. After discharging her powder she will come up to the wharf, probably this afternoon.
