ARRIVAL OF THE SHIP MERMAID.

The clipper ship Mermaid, Captain Rose, arrived in harbour yesterday morning from London, after a passage of 94 days. A large party including his Honor the Superintendent, Drs Donald, Rouse (Health Officer), and Captain Gibson 'Port Officer), went down to her in the s.s. Mullogh, and on going alongside they found that all were well on board. The Commissioners then inspected the ship, and found everything in the most admirable order, and the 'ship a pattern of cleanliness; the single women's compartment being especially neat. The Commissioners expressed themselves highly satisfied with the whole of the arrangements throughout. We may observe that his Honor took great interest in the inspection, and listened to the replies to questions asked by the Commissioner, There was no complaint made by any of the emigrants or the passen gers. The Mermaid brings out several old colonists. She has also on board a splendid short-horn cow, also some pure-bred Southdown sheep, and eight Merino rains. Mr licQuade, the purser, has also brought out some linnets, larks, blackbirds, canaries, goldfinches, and also some pure-bred Cochin China fowls.

The following is Captain Rose's report;— We sailed from Gravesend at 1 a.m. on 6th October, and had westerly winds down the Channel; we landed the pilot on the evening of the 9th; experienced light N.E. winds across the Bay of Biscay; had moderate N.E. trades to 11 deg. N, which we reached on Oct. 26; from thence light variable winds and calms to the line, which was crossed on Nov, 9; thence had moderate S.E, trades to 22 deg. S.; after losing them we experienced easterly and south-easterly v inds for several days, and afterwards had moderate westerly winds and fine weather to the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope, which was passed on Dec. 4, in 44 deg. 8.; from thence we had moderate westerly winds and fine weather to 79 deg. cast long, and lat. 47 deg. S., when ship was caught in a heavy cyclone; the ship had to be hove-to for 48 hours, and then kept away, finding that the barometer was still falling, and the gale increasing, the ship's course was altered to N.W., and she ran into 42 deg. north. From thence, had moderate westerly winds and fine weather to 155 deg. longitude, and from thence strong S.W. winds to the Snares, which were passed at 2 p.m. on the sth. We were becalmed off Dunedin on the after mum of Wednesday last, and arrived as above. The vesselß spoken during the passage were—on Nov. 3, the John Banks, from London to Japan, 30 days out; Nov. 4, Tornado, from Liverpool to Melbourne, with emigrants, 30 days out; Nov, 5, the American ship America, from Antwerp to Callao, 23 daya out: Nov. 10, Caroline Hutchinson, from l/)ndon to Malabar, 34 days out

The following testimonial signed by the cabin passengers was presented to Captain Rose Dear sir-We the undersigned passengers by the Mermaid, from London to Lyttelton, before leaving the ship, desire to express our sense of your uniformly courteous conduct during the voyage. Your abi'ity as a seaman has been put to more than the usual test, by the violent weather which the ship encountered, and which has caused the voyage to be protracted beyond your average time. Conveying our best wishes for the future happiness and prosperity of yourself and officers, we remain yours very sincerely, &c."
