ARRIVAL OF THE ROBERT SMALL. The Robert Small, Captain J. W. B. Drake, arrived here yesterday morning after a tedious passage of 133 days. Left Gravesend on Saturday, February Bth, 186% passed through the Downs on the same day, had* fait rwn out of the Channel, and took the final departure from the Start Light at midnight on Sunday the 9th. "When off the coast of Portugal encountered severe S."W. gales, which lasted till the end of the month. Passed Maderiajon the 3rd March, and tiie Canary Islands on the 7th. ■ N.E. trades very light and variable. Grossed the line on the 27th March, in23*westjlongitude. Had scarcely any S.E. trades, the winds being very light and variable, and did not reach the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope till the 9th May. Run down the easting between the parallels of 43° and 47*. Captain Drake reports that he had never in any previous voyage experienced such a constant succession of light winds and head ■winds as were encountered up to the_ 9th May, then out 88 days from the Start, the ship having only averaged 96 miles per day, or four knots per hour. Fromuthe meridian of the Cape, the Robert Smiill had fair average winds and principally moderate weather, with one or two hard gales from the westward. Rounded the South Cape of Tasmania, on the 10th June ; sighted the Three Kings at half -past three ou Tuesday, the 17th June, and arrived in Auckland Harbour on Friday forenoon, the 20th June. Experienced calms and baffling winds on the coast. Theship'B two previous voyages to New Zealand were performed in 102 and 105 days into harbour. The Robert Small is in a very creditable state, she is clean fore and aft ; and the passengers speak highly of the kindness and attention of Captain Drake and his officers. There were four cases of measles and one of small-pox at the commencement of the voyage, but the disease did not spread, and latterly every one on board was healthy. The esteem in which Captain Drake is held by those with whom he came more immediately into contact is shown from the following letter of thanks presented to him on his arrival at this port : — On board the Robert Small, Auckland, June 20, 1862. "We the undersigned saloon passengers beg to tender our warmest thanks to Captain Drake for his kindness and attention to our comfort as well .is his ■unvarying gentlemanly demeanour during our voyage from London, and at the same time to express our high appreciation of his untiring energy and prompitude in the exercise of all his professional duties, and the entire confidence we have felt in him in all the emergencies incident to a long though pleasant voyage. "Wishing him every prosperity and happiness in his future career, "We remain with kindest remembrances, G. W. Hudson S. M. Clarke F. Murray William J. F. Lynch H. W. Pye Amelia Lynch G-. W. Clarke The Robert Small is one of those famous old English ships which, some twelve or fifteen yea'-s ago, acquired a well-merited name in the East India trade. Built at Newcastle, and classed twelve years for the firm of Small and Co., of Old Je-wry, London, ?he, in connexion with the good ships, John Line, Win. Jarvine, and John O'Gaunti formed one of a class of vessels which ever stood high at the Jerusalem and Lloyd's, in the estimation of all shippers and passengerrf for India and the East. • Latterly she has changed hands ; but, nevertheless, is yet the same sound staunch ship, standing Al at Lloyd's, and equal for any service she may.be required for.

To the Bditor of the Daily Southern Cross. Sir, — To my astonishment this morning I found myself beset at every turn by enquiries as to*the reported loss of the ' Wild "Wave 1 of this port, and all hands, in Palliser Bay. How such unfounded fabrications got wind I cannot say, but I must add that such reports have not emanated from me, nor have I heard anything concerning the vessel whatever since my leaving Otago on the 10th inst. , , It is cruel to the friends of those on board. One unfortunate vessel has been lost, but what motive could be given to stir up the fears of a community in regard of a second I cannot fathom, — I stm, Sir, Yours, &c. J. Jacobs, 1 Master per ' Zillah. ' June 20, 1862. [We insert the foregoing letter with pleasure. Having heard the report early yesterday morning we made inquiries regarding it, but soon discovered that it was without foundation. The original fabricators of such heartless rumours, if discovered, ought to be held up to public reprobation. — Ed. D. S. C]

By a clerical error we named the brig Reliance, the Surprise in yesterday's issue. The schooner Sophia for some time laid up in our harbour is advertised for sale. H.M.S. Harrier, 17 guns, Commander Sir Malcolm MacGregor, Bart., steamed down the harbour yesterday for Coromandel, with his Excellency Sir George Grey on board. The barque Ann and Jane, Smith, from Adelaide, on the 2£>th May, arrived here on Thursday morning. Experienced heavy westerly weather during the voyage. TheAnne'andJaneisastaunchbarque, of the build and model of Liverpool of 1838, combining the qualities of great carrying capacity with durability. The fine brigancine Sea Gull is rapidly completing her overhaul, and will be ready for cargo next week. A tidier or fleeter craft does not hail from the port. Under Captain Cellem's hands she is rapidly assuming the proportions of what a clipper schooner really ought to be, and looking at her lines, with her new rig, in his hands she may yet astonish a few of her compeers.
