THE EUTERPE.

One of the finesb of the Shaw, Savill, and Albion fleet of steel clipper sailing ships, the Euterpe, waa towed into port this morning in fine condition, berthing at tjjPe Quay-street Jetty shortly before noon. The ship is in command of Captain Streater, who is assisted by Mr T. Richmond as first officer, and Messrs Strickland and P. Mabony as second and third respectively. Many will remember Captain Streater as being heie about six years ago in the Lutterwortb, and even before aa the first mate'of the old trader Crusader. Of the present voyage the captain reports leaving Dunedin on the 3rd inst. with a moderate north-easb wind and meeting with a succession of comparative calma till Thursday, when the wind hauled to the east. The following day, when in the vicinity of the East Cape, the wind settled into the north, blowing a strong gale, with heavy head sea, which drove the ship some two hundred miles off the land. Thin was followed by a succession of light, baffling airs and variable winds, which lasted till the Friday afternoon, when the Easb Cape wa«rounded, Cuvier Island being sighted at 7 o'clock on the Saturday morning, and the ship coming to an anchorage in Rangitoto Channel the same evening. Messrs L. D. Nathan and Co. are the agents for the Euterpe, and she will receive quick despatch for London at their hands.
