Arawata, Captain Underwood, from her Nelson trip, arrived in port at 8 o'clock on Saturday evening.

H.M.S. gunboat Conflict, 1 gun. Captain Musters, arrived hero from Sydney yesterday afternoon. Mie is a neat fore-and-aft schooner of 84 tons register, ana as usual with all H.M.S. vessels of war, came into port in as excellent order ns could be wished tor. She is now on a cruise amongst the islands, her stay here probably extending to ten days, when she wm proceed to Auckland. She left Sydney on the 23rd ult. : experienced strong easterly winds nearly tno whole passage down. Cape Farewell was made on the Bth lost., and experienced variable winds through the Strait, arriving as above stated. We thank nr. White, commanding officer, (or all particulars concerning this neat little craft. : The brig Neptune.arrived in port from -Newcastle last night, after a passage of seventeen days. She left Newcastle on the 24th ult., and for fourteen clays experienced strong easterly winds, thence southerly till making the Heads yesterday morning. The land in the vicinity of Stephens Island was sighted yesterday morning, and the brig thence made a good passage to this port. Captain Chadwick reports being boarded by the captain of the whaling barque Onward, of Hobarton, who reported four months out without any oil on board. , .... * v. The breakdown of the steamer, Albion t machinery appearu to have happened between Hobarton and Melbourne. She left the former port on January 17, but had not gone far beyond the Iron Pot when the machinery was found to be out of order in some portion, and as it was nob considered safe to proceed on the voyage, Captain Tozer decided to turn back. Next day St was discovered on examination that the crank-pin of the after engine had broken off short at the crank head, and the damage was temporarily remedied by passing a strong iron bar through the crank to brace it. Tiiis would, it was thought, give the machinery sufficient strength to enable it to work at hall speed till the arrival of the steamer at Mel- • bourne. During the passage from New Zealand to Hobarton very heavy westerly gales were experienced, and it is probable that the severe straining which’the vessel received had caused the injury. .On arrival at Melbourne Captain Tozer was presented ■with a handsome testimonial.
