ARRIVAL OP THE SHIP PLEIONE. The ship Pleione, of Southampton, belonging to Messrs, Shaw, Savill, and Co., of London, Charles IT. Rcuaut, mister, arrived in harbor last evening, in tow of the Government sto nner Hinemoa. On this occasion the Pleione has made an exceptionally long passage of 123 days, occasioned by adverse weather. The ship, as usual, comes in harbor remarkably clean after being so long at sea. As we have before stated, she brings 16 saloon passengers, throe second cabin, and three steerage. They have all arrived in good spirits, and do not appear to be any the worse from the voyage. Captain Jlcnaut kindly furnished us with the following particulars regarding the passage : —Left the anchored in the Downs the following day, owing to south-west gales. The ship was hero detained for several ilaj’s, and the anchor was not weighed until the 2nd March. Proceeded then at 11 a.m. with fine weather. Landed the pilot on the 6th. Cleared, and took her departure from the Lizard at 4 p.m. of the 7th, with fresh westerly gales and fine weather. From this date until crossing the Equator, on April 6, had light variable and mostly fair winds, with particularly fine weather. During the whole cf this time the ship only logged 200deg.;in the twenty-four hours/ She picked up the north-east trades in 19 N. and 25 W., and lost them in 2 N. They were found to be very light. Crossed the Line in 27 W. On the 2nd April sent letters Horae by a Danish schooner. The south-east trades were also found light, and were picked up in I*3o N., and carried them as far ns 18 S. After this, for twelve days very light and variable winds were experienced, during which the ship only made 900 miles. Passed the meridian of Greenwich on 6tU May, and the Capo of Good Hope on 13th May. Two days before passing the meridian of Greenwich, experienced a heavy S.E. gale, and on 10th May encountered a terrific gale, veering from E N.E. to north, and ended at west, with tremendous high and confused sea. A bran new foretopraast staysail was blown clean away, also lost a now lower maintopsail in clewing it up, there was a considerable amount of damage done caused by the main lifts and brace pennants carrying away. The barometer in this gala fell from 29*494 at noon to 23*186 at 11 p.m., and just before the shift it fell 4-10ths in three hours. For six hours the ship was completely buried in the trough of a tremendous cross sea, during which the sea-going capacity of the ship was tested to the utmost. From May 4 until June 6 the weather and sea has been very severe. The meridian of (’ape Lewlu was passed on June 4, with a heavy south-west gale. The longitude was run down ; between the parallels of 43 and 45 south; from thence to sighting Tasmania on the 14th, light north-east and south-east winds and fine weather; then experienced a heavy south-east gale, and did not clear Tasmania until the 16th; when it fell calm.

Supplied the schooner with coals. On June 26 left the anchorage at Kapiti at noon, and at half-past 7 p.m. hove-to off Pcncarrow Head, and at 8 p.m. was boarded by Pilot Holmes five miles off the Heads. The following day a strong gale from the w'cat set in. which blew the ship off the shore again,. Daring the evening split the lower forctopsall, and at 4 p.m. of the 2StU the ship was SGsec. south of the Heads, with the wind still blowing hard from the north-north-west. On Monday the weather moderated. and aha was enabled once more to make the Heads, when she anchored just outside the reef. Yesterday morning she spoke the Hinemoa coming in, when she arrived as above. The Pleione will be entered at the Customs to-day, and hauled in to the wharf, taking the berth just vacated by the Chaudiere. She will commence discharging on Thursday, and will have quick dsspatch.
