The time-ball may he used to-day for rating chronometeix. A chronometer true on Greenwich time would show 12Ii. SOmin. when the ball drops. Any difference is error, plus or minus, of the chronometer The Union Company’ss.s.

Had head winds throughout. The Hawea will go to Auckland, via the East Coast, where she has a big cargo and a large number of passengers to land. The brigantine Exonia arrived in port yesterday morning early from Kaipara. The 3.3. Kiwi arrived in port at noon yesterday, •with a full cargo of wool and maize. She left Napier on Friday evening last, and called in at Pourere and Castlepoint, wool being collected at each place. She left Castlepoint on Monday evening, and experienced heavy westerly winds till arrival. The Kiwi is expeeled to leave for Castlepoint and Napier to-day. The barque Edwin Bassett sailed yesterday mornor Newcastle, but had to bring up at the Heads, mad another start in the afternoon with a N.W. cze The p.s. Lyttelton arrived in port from Kekerangu, with a full cargo of produce, at 11.45 last night. The Age.it-General, in a despatch received on Monday by the San Francisco mail, advises the Government of the sailing of the Humnui from Plymouth, on the 16th September, for Taranaki and Wellington. The Hurunui brings 84 Government immigrants (including 27 single women) equal to 79} statute adults for Taranaki, and 186 immigrants (including 72 single women) equal to 170} statute adults for Wellington. She will call in first at New Plymouth to land the Taranaki passengers. The Hurunui is now 51 days out, and therefore may be expected early next month. THE ST. LEONARDS. Yesterday morning the ship St. Leonards, which arrived Jn port from London the previous night, weighed anchor for the purpose of sailing up to the wharf, but owing to the fickleness of the wind she did not get alongside till the afternoon. The St. Leonards, as was mentioned in yesterday’s issue, has made the passage out in 95 days, although she is in trim for making a better run if she had anything like favorable weather; but such was not the case, light contrary winds for nearly thirty days having been experienced before she crossed the Equator. On the other hand, the weather was all that the passengers could desire, fine from almost one end of the voyage to the other. The trip was enlivened by a series of concerts and other amusements held amongst the passengers, while our old friends Captain Todd and Mr. Frazer, the chief officer, contributed in no small way to render the voyage as pleasant as possible, for which the passengers were not slow to express their appreciation. The following is the report of the passage Left the Downs on Monday, July 30, and landed Channel pilot off Start Point August 3; thence had a succession of calms and adverse winds until August 20, when she got the S.E. trades. Up to this date the wind had kept so persistently ahead that she was only once able to steer a course, and then only for a few hours ; passed the Equator on September 11 in aadeg. W. The S.E. trades were strong and favorable, and were lost on September 18, In latitude 2Zdeg, S., longitude 2Cdeg. AV.; passed the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope on Octobers, with fine and favorable winds ; made a good run to Cape Leuwin, which was passed on the 21st, thence had N.E. and xiortheily winds with a very low glass, to passing Tasmania on the 20th. Sighted New Zealand on Sunday afternoon last, and had a strong N.W. wind through the Strait; got off the Heads on Monday morning, and commenced to beat in in the afternoon. When she got inside the lighthouse the tide commenced to ebb, but Pilot Holmes kept her at it, and she made a splendid beat up against a strong tide and wind, arriving here at 8.30 p.m. on Monday. She has a full general cargo, and very little dead weight.
