Arrived : Moa, brig, from Newcastle. . ’ OAM ARU, Friday. Sailed: Diamant, barque, for Melbourne. The s.s. Taranaki arrived in port at noon yesterday, and sailed again at 9 o'clock p.m. for the North. The s.s. Taiaroa left the Manukau at 9 a.m. on the -6th instant; arrived at Taranaki at 4 a.m. on the 7th; sailed again at 7 a.m. same day, and arrived here at 7 o’clock lost evening. M ' ' " The s.s. Arawata left Wellington at 11.30 p.m. on the 7th, and arrived at Nelson at 9 a.m., on the Bth; sailed again at 12.15 p.ra.; cleared the French Pass at 3 p.m., and arrived here at 10 o’clock last night. 1 ARRIVAL OF THE GAINSBOROUGHAt'five o'clock yesterday afternoon the signal of a ship appearing from the -northward, was announced from Mount'i Victoria,/. andr shortly afterwards a steamer took her tin tow. About seven o’clock both vessels appeafedjft thfi^harbor,, the steamer-being: the Taiaroa, eh route froin Nelson, and“the’ ship the Gainsborough, also via Nelson from England. The latter vessel left London, on October 23rd. and was .towed down to Plymouth, where she embarked a number of immigrants, and took her departure from Eddystone Lighthouse the same day. ' She experienced light winds from the S.W. for two days, followed by strong w sterly winds, which,resulted in a heavy gale,: that'drove the vessel 'back to,: within 150 miles of Plymouth. The weather afterwar Is moderated, leaving a very high ;rollingrßca, which strained the ship very much. On November 11 again experienced a westerly gale, with a high sea, during which several of the sails were carried away, the ship being then hove to under fore and main topsails. Next clay sighted a large, ship sailing eastward with the three topmasts and the jibboom gone, butno signals were made as to her identity. Then had variable winds and salm weather, up to catching the north-east trades on Decembers. These carried; the vessel'as far as lat. '5.14 N., when the south-east trades made their, appearance ; crossed the Equator on December 14, in long. 30.52 W, The south-east■ trades proved very moderat *. and were lost on December 23, in lat. 21.37 S., long. 25.20 W. , On the; same day sighted the Island of Trinidad; passed the meridian of Greenwich on January 7, add the Cape of Good Hope on January 14 ; ran the easting down between the parallelsof 44 and 40,the wind;prevailing from the north moderate; thence had the wind from the north, passed the longitude .of. Cape. Leuwin on November 3; from thence had strong head winds and light fair winds until February 19, when we experienced a strong wind from theN.N.W. The bowsprit carried away, and before the ship paid off before the wind took away the foretopmast and main royalmast ; then the wind Increased to a gale. Cleared away the wreck and rigged a jury bowsprit, and then set up the jury topmast. : Sighted the land between Cape Foul wind and-Rocks Point. Sighted a North German schooner on November 18. Exchanged signals with the ship Killkerran, of. Greenock, from Liverpool to Bombay, fifteen days out. On November 24, exchanged signals with the American ship McNea, twenty-nine, days; out from N£w York to Melbourne. On December 12, spoke the schooner Enchantress.' of Falmouth, steering North. The Gainsborough arrived at Nelson at 8 p.m. on the 29th ultimo, after a passage of 118 days. The health of the passengers was excellent throughout, there being 15 immigrants for Nelson, '7 single men and 8 single women; 7Si adults for Wellington; 63 for Westland; 48 for Marlborongh;and 15f for Hawke’s Bay. Six births and two deaths occurrea during the voyage. The Immigrants speak in the highest terms of 'he conduct of Captain Carter and Dr. Reed, and presented both gentlemen with flattering testimonials for their uniform kindness during the veyage. It happened at NeLon that some doubt was expressed by a person who boarded the ship in the offing that she was not sufficiently seaworthy to continue the voyage to Wellington; - owing to-the damage she had " sustained . during the heavy weather; she had experienced; but a cursory examination showed such a conjecture to be altogether groundless, as her safe arrival in port undoubtedly'proves. The statement in the first instance was, it is thought,;made with the view of detaining the vessel, but the good sense of.the captain prevailed, and he was thus enabled to carry his voyage to a successfnl conclusion.
