At 6 o’clock that evening she commenced to work up with a fresh N.W, wind, and an hour afterward* was inside Barratfc’s Reef, where, however, the breeze fell light, and it was not till half-past two o'clock yesterday morning that she c une to an anchoi-*, age in port abreast of monies Island. The Wairoa, pr is already known, belongs to this port, She brings 175 J statute adult immigrants, and as clean, healthy, and desirable a lot of people as ever arrived here. They comprise 22 married couples, 48 -single girls, 65. single men, and 43 children. Some of them (about 15) i are destined for the Feilding Settlement. Dr. A. Hamilton, the surgeon-superintendent, who has previously visited.this port in the C'dlingwood, reports that the health of the passengers throughout the tripp was most excellent, and-that no serious sickness of any kind was experienced. Two deaths occurred, .viz., that of an infant three months*old from marasmas, and a single man, named William Muir,aged 22, of consumption. Of amusement there was no lack, for when the ship was fairly at sea, concerts, penny readings, and Christy Minstrel entertainments were held weekly, which tended greatly to relieve the .monotony of th * long sea voyage. ’Captain Joss and his officers, amongst whom we might mention the chief one, Mr. Neven, have evidently made themselves .very popular with the Immigrants during the voyage, a-fact which was well testified to by the lustjy cheering which ensued when the passengers leaving the vessel yesterday. Referring to the ‘VfeCiroa/s passage from London, .it may be mentioned that it was a-flne weather one throughout. She never .experienced a gale of wind during the whole time, moderate winds, with fine weather, seemingly havyjjf 1 ’ prevailed, which, although it made things pleasant to those travelling in the. vessel, must have at least annoyed her worthy skipper, who, instead of strong winds during certain portions of the trip, mfefc with nothing but light and baffling breezes. Her royals were only furled once from the time she left Ushant till she made Cook Strait., The v .E. trades were of a very fickle nature indeed, while the S.E. trades, although a good wind, did not last sufficiently long to bring the ship within the belt of the westerly* - .winds, which in their turn were of no account. Taking everything into consideration, the passage of rhel Wairoa is by no means a bad .one. It occupied 92 days from land to land, and 93 from anchorage to anchorage; and her run across the Southern Ocean was unusually long, occupying 35 days. She left London on the 7th July, adjusted compasses at Greenhithe same day, and then proceeded in tow to Plymouth, arriving there on the 9th. Embarked immigrants on the 14th, and proceeded down Channel at 6 p.m. next day with fresh westerly winds. Took her departure fro a Ushant at 4 p.m. of the 17th, and thence till Maderif/ was passed on the 26th, had moderate and light N.E. and westerly winds, the barometer during the time ranging high. On the 27th what might be called the Brst of the N.E. trades was met with, which proved from first to last to be very light. The southing was made on the meridians of 23deg. to ’Meg. W., and the Cape Verde Islands were passed about ninety miles to the westward on the 4th August. The trades were lost in 12deg., where the wind shifted .suddenly Into the S.W., carrying the vessel to fid eg. N- and 18deg. W. Thence it worked into the south,l? and the vessel stood on a S.W. course for some ime, when the wind gradually hauled into the south-east, which proved to be the trad#/ and thus the equatorial cal n belt was got through without her having experienced any of the calms and baffling airs which arc so frequently found in that latitude. The Equator was crossed in 25deg. W. 29 days out. The S.E. trade proved brisk, and gave out in 20 -eg. S. and 35deg. W. bn the 20th, and was followed by light and variable winds, mostly from the northward, till the 20th, when the westpriies were found. Tristan d’Acunha was sighted on the 33st August, and the meridian of .Greenwich crossed |n 41deg. S. on the 4th September, and six days aftojr/ wards she had passed the Cape. On the 43rd paralreil principally she hauled off the balance of the casting, the wind experienced being exceedingly light, accompanied by frequent ami long-continuing fogs, In one case lasting forg consecutive days, and on two other occasion 6 and 4 days respectively. No ice was met with, and but one easterly wind. The meridian of the Leuwin was jpassed on the Ist Inst., and Tasmania on the 7th. Land w/s made in the vicinity of Cape Farewell at noon of the 12th, but owing to a calm—the first experienced during the voyage—Capo , Farewell was not passed until noon of the next S.E. winds and fine weather were found to Stephen Inland, where a nor'-wester was met with, which ran her down to the Heads, arriving there on the 14th inst. At 7 o'clock next morning took Pilot Holmes oo board/but was prevented from beating into port owing to the very heavy N.W. winds blowing, and the same night very thi k. disagreeable , weather came on. She went half way across the/ Strait, and next morning came back to the Heads and waited for the evening's tide, when she commenced to work in, arriving here yesterday. The Wairoa comes into port in good order, both above and below. Her immigrants were landed yesterday by the Moa. She has entered at the Customs, and ,' will In all probability be berthed at th« wharf fco-d|j;/ The barque Carlotta, with a cargo of coal from Newcastle, arrived in port yesterday morning. The Claud Hamilton sailed for Melbourne via the West Coast at 6 o'clock yesterday morning. The barque Anne Melhuish left the harbor for Now- * castle yesterday at noon. The Spray also got awiy/ yesterday for Peiorus Sound. t/ The Wanaka left Napier yesterday at noon, and will be hero this foren on. She will go South in the ftemoon. Thes.s. Stella wont round to the Patent Slip yesterday to be cleaned. The ss. Napier sailed at 0 o'clock yesterday afternoon for Blenheim, and tiie Murray for Picton, Nelson, and West Coast ports, cleared the port at soon.

The s.s. Arawata, with the Suez mail, will arrive here probably about 9 o’clock this morning. She will leave in the afternoon for Nelson, The s.s. Tui arrived in port from the South at halfpast twelve a.m. yesterday. She left Lyttelton at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, arrived at Kaikoura at 6 a.m. next day, and sailed at 11.30 a.m,; touched at Waipapa, and arrived hero as above. Experienced strong winds throughout.
