ARRIVAL OF THE CROWNTHORPE. The Crownthorpe, a neat-looking barque of 812 tons register, Captain Everett, under charter to the N.Z.S. Company, was announced off the Heads from London betimes on Saturday morning, and as there was a fair wind at the time, she anchored in port at 830 a.m.. after a passage of 110 days. The Crownthorpe’s run for a barque of her stamp was rather long, but the vessel is heavily laden, and was favored by only very moderate trades, while through the prevalence of northerly winds on the coast she was delayed a whole week there. The weather experienced throughout the passage was mild, no heavy gale-* being encountered. Tiie Crownthorpe brought several passengers to this port, who express themselves thoroughly well pleased with Cajstain Everett and his lady (who is a passenger), for the kind treatment ami consideration which they had shown towards them on the voyage. Referring to the barqen's passage, we find, from the chief officer’s log, that she made a start from Gravesend on the 13th August, and four days afterwards sent the pilot ashore. Had variable winds till the N.E. trades were found, which proved light, and after losing them, fell in with a strong southerly wind, which took her over the Equator on the 24th September. Met the S.E. trades on the 2Gth, and carried them to the Ist October. Afterwards had moderate easterly weather, carrying her into the westerlies. The meridian of Greenwich was crowed on the 12tb October, and seven days afterwards she had rounded the Cape. On the 31st October had a strong gale from the northward with a high sea which came on board the vessel in large quantities. Her easting was run down between the 41 Heg. and 43 deg. parallels. The meridian off Cape Leuwinwas passed on the 14th ult., and ten days afterwards passed the Snares (not in sight). Had N.W. winds till the Nugget light was passed on the 27th, and thence strong N.E. with high sea till off Kaikoura, when she had a cairn lasting twenty hours, and then a S.E. wind was picked up which carr ed her into port as above stated. The Crownthorpe lias about 1200 tons general cargo on board. She will probably come alongside the wharf to-day, ARRIVAL OF THE MATAURA. This handsome little ship of the N.Z.S. Company c*mc off the port from London, via Napier, on Saturday afternoon, and anchored in port at 9 o’clock that night. She made the passage to Napier in 89 days, and brought ICO} immigrants there. There were four deaths on the voyage. Sheleft Plymouth on the 12th August, and had light S.E. wind through the Strait. Crossed the Equator on the 11th September, and experienced poor trades. Tristan d’Acunha was sighted on the 20th September, and crossed the meridian of Greenwich three days afterwards. Hounded the Capo en 6th October, and sighted the Snares on 31st, arriving in Napier as above stated. During the trip the Mataura made some excellent running, her best days' work being 304, 342, 325, and 310 miles per day. She left Napier on Monday week last, and had light variable winds down. She has 800 tons cargo tor tills port.
