ARRIVAL.OF THE LEUCADIA. The Leucadia, ship, of Aberdeen*Bo6 tons register* arrived hei'o from Limitation May ‘2nd. which port chckft on 15th Jan , and anchored in the Downs on 16th. Left Downs again on the 17th, and proceeded down. Channel with light northerly winds and tine weather, ami landed pilot 'at Teignmouth bri Iflthi.' 1 'Wind from south-west, light, which on 20lli freshened to a gale, and from that date till the 24th' heavy west southwest gales and . high seas, flooding tho decks ..with water, *nrt, completely'xiutiihg a atop td any progress being made. l Took a fresh departure from Start Point on 25th January, with north-west gale, which took her ’clear of the Channel, wind continuing from; northwest to south-west until Madeira was passed on 2nd .February, aud ; then, Ugdjt and variable‘weather till ‘the Bth, when the North-oast'trades wore fallen in with in latitude 22•N’.* longitude 22 yV..: they proved very light and unsatisfactory,,and warn hM on m latitude-25 N. longitude ,25; W.. On the 10th the South-east trades wore picked up, and the Equator crossed the same day.in longitude 2Ui ; 3V.; laeso proved more satisfactory,-but .were very transitory, being lost on the 25th in 18 S. latitude. f Ifiaidail Island having boon passed on 27th i- ebruary, light southerly and easterly winds then retarded her procross to the south east, tacking about in different directions. Qough Island was sighted * and the Cape of Good Hope passed oh 20th in latitude

40 S. She continued to run down in from 40 to 42 S, till 29th March, when the wind coming up from the eastward forced her into a higher latitude, aud St. PauFs Isle was passed on 2nd April in 45‘40 S. After this the winds became very unsteady, and for the most part south-easterly by north-easterly, never having two whole days westerly wind together, aud theso easterly winds continued from St. Paul’s Isle to the south end of Tasmania, which Was passed on 21st April in 47 S. From thence to the Suares westerly winds prevailed, and they were sighted on the morning of the 25th April, a strong west, south-west wind blowing, which carried her to abreast of Otago Heads. On 20th light north-westerly winds till 27th, and north-easterly till 2Sth carried her abreast of Banks Peninsula; then southerly till29th, thirty miles south of Capo Campbell, when a heavy north-west gale bu 29ih and 30th drove ship to eastward of position about 40 miles. Ou Ist May southerly wind again favored, and Pencarrow light was sighted at 6 p.m. Stood off and on till daylight 2nd May, when Mr. Holmes, pilot, came on board, and worked the ship into harbor, where she anchored on Thursday eveulng, 107 days from dock and 97 from Start Point,. t ;

ARRIVAL OF THE CHASCA. The barque which .arrived off -the Heads ou Apri 29th, but which was blown away again, came up with a light southerly breeze on May Ist/ aud anchored in port below the shipping at 8 o’clock in the evening. Sho proved, as anticipated, to be the Chasca, from Auckland, which comes hero to; load, under tho auspices of the New Zealand Shipping Company, for London, after the Carnatic. At Auckland she shipped 200 ions manganese, which is ; destined for Homo. The Chasca isreported as having cleared out ! at Auckland ou the 17thult., and left a fcw : days afterwards. Made a capital run to Cape Palliser, but on arrival off there encountered a scries of north- west gales. On Monday last she' managed to reach within seven miles of the . Heads, but a . heavy head gale sprlnging’up she was driven half-way down to Lyttelton, where a southerly breeze met her, and fetched her to port as above-stated.

ARRIVAL OF THE CANMORE. On Saturday, May 4th, tho barque Canmorc from London was sighted outsMe the Heads; and there being a head wind blowing, she had to beat into port, aided by the flood tide, and anchored in tho powder ground at 4 p.m. The Canmorc is a handsome barque of 728 tons register, and besides being able-to carry a very large cai-go, having now on board some 1070 tons, or over 200 tons more than double her register,rposscases as far as can be judged by her appearance above >yater excellent line?/ She is quite a new ..vessel, .only eighteen months old, and this is her second voyage, her maiden one having been made out to Singapore and Mauritius. She is only chartered ■by the New; Zealand Shipping "Company, being .owned by-Millar, of Dundee. The Canmorc has made the passage out from London to anchorage in 108 days, and from land to land in 92 days. . The trip has therefore been a little over the average time, but considering the season of the year her performance must not ,at all be taken as a bad one, as, the weather encountered at the commencement of the voyage caused h delay of ten days in the Channel,-and afterwards, prior to finding the north-cast -trades, a series of head winds were met with, which retarded her progress south for several days. From the Equator to the Cape the barque has made a fair run ; but from tho Cape to the meridian of Tasmania she has performed the pas- ■ sago in excellent time, i averaging 300 miles per day. ’The Caum-he comes ihtd port in' a clean and tidy.’ order, considering : that, 'owing to her being vety deeply laden, she shipped largo quantities of water, and labored heavily in the gales experienced. The barque left London on tlie 10th January, Gravesend next day, and tbc Downs on the ISth ; experienced heavy S.W. and westerly winds -down-Channel, and did not take her departure from the land till the 27th. Had m derate weather acrqsg the Bay of Biscay, but afterwards fell in with heavy.head gales. The flrst of the N.E. trades was picked up on February 25th, in latitude 20.54 N., lorig/.'V3.0.b7 W., which at first proved light, but gradually increased: in strength, and were lost onthe 27th'iu Jat 250 deg , N., 23 SOdeg W. Crossed the Line on the 20th March, and picked up the S.E. trades there, which as'she got into them freshened, and carried her.to 31deg. 8.,. where they were lost mi the 14tUV thence experienced moderate westerly winds, and crossed the prime meridian in 4ldeg., on the 23rd, and rounded the-Cape on the 27th. Ran down her easting-on a mean parallel of between 45deg. aud 4Gdeg. before strong westerly trades, which lasted till the 11th April, when a N.E. gale was encountered, and for two days she had to hoadreach under reduced canvas.- Thence had moderate fair winds, and passed Capo Leuwiu on the IStb, and Tasmania on the 23rd. Was off Capa Foulwind on the, 30th, where she. encountered a strong N.E. wind, and sighted Cape Farewell on the Ist May. Had light variable winds through the straits till Friday, whenshegota breeze from the,N.W.'/which took her off the Heads at 9 o’clock same night. Took Pilot Holmes on board next morning, and arrived hero same afternoon* ■" ■ l ' ‘‘ r
