ARRIVAL OF H.M.S: ROSARIO. j H.M.i. Rosario, 673 tons, 3 guns, 150-horse power, Captain G. Palmer, arrived from Sydney yesterday morning, at 10. 30, after a smart passage of 9 days,bringing the English mail via Suez She left Sydney on Sunday, the 17 th msb,, and experienced fine weather and moderate westerly breezes throughout the 1 passage, which was effected partly under steam and partly under canvas. Made the North Gape on Monday afternoon. i We have already given our readers a full description of the vessel. It may nob, however, be out of place to insert an abstract from the Sydney Moiming Herald ;—"; — " The Rosario was built in 1861, and, although comparatively a small ship, carries very heavy metal. Her armament consists of three guns — two 40-pounder Amstroogs and one rifle-muzzle-, loader of 6£ tons. She has on board a complement of 125 men, together with the following officers : Commander, G. Palmer; F. M. Gordon, first lieutenanant; F. G. M. Powell, second lieutenant ; B. 8. Jackson, navigating lieutenant j Dr. T. Hourk, surgeon j D. W. H. Wichelo, paymaster; Gr. Moore, Hon. R. Bingham, sub-lieutenauts ; M. Walsh, chief engineer. _ ■ The Rosario hag arrived to supersede the Falcon, and has come on here to relieve the Brisk, which vessel has been ordered home. The Rosario ' will proceed to Wellington shortly.

Thb Ships Raoehobse and Constance. —We learn from Messrs. Cruickshank, Smart, and Co. , that the ship Racehorse, of which vessel they are the agents, suited from Plymouth for Auckland on the 27th of March, with a strong breeze from the north. It will be remembered that the Racehorse experienced rough weather in the English Channel, aud had sprung a leak, in consequence of which she put into Plymouth for repairs and overhaul' Her cargo, some 700 tons, was discharged, and re-shipped after repairs were effected as speedily as possible. We learn, also, that the barque Constance sailed from London on the 26th of March, and as both are fast ve-sels they will probably arrive also about the same time. The brig Moa, Captain Roberb?on, will take her departure for Sydney today, with original cargo from Tahiti, and passengers. The ketch Percy, Captain Downes, arrived from Lyttelton yesterday afternoon in ballast, having been obliged to put in through stress of weather. She cleared out at Lyttelton about the 22nd instant for the Fiji Islands, *nd experienced strong gales and severe squalls alone the const. When standing 172 miles wtst of the North Cape, met with exceedingly rough weather, compelling her to put back for shelter. Lay at anchor on Monday at the Eawau, where Captain Downes went ashore, and gathered a quantity of pipis. It appears that he indulged in them too freely, as he became suddenly ill, so much no as to render him very weak and to confine him to his bed. The Albatrors was lying at the K*wau at the time, aod the medical gentlemen in attendance on the E»rl of Pembroke visited Captain Downes, and, we understand, recommended him to come on to Auckland. We learn by the arrival of H.M. s. Rosario, which brought on the Suez mail, that the Novelty's departure would not take place before the 22 ad. The s.B. Star of the South, Captain Bendall, arrived at Maryborough, Queensland, on the 26th of April from Hokitika, with 140 passengers. She anticipated leaving for Hokitika with passengers about the Ist of May, and may be expected in Auckland shortly. She made the passage to Queensland in seven days. The brig Dart, 154 tons, Captain Scaplehorn, entered outwards at Sydney for Auckland, on the 14th instant. The barque Anne Melhuish arrived at Newcastle from Wellington on the 14 th instant. The cutter Hero sailed last night for Whangarei, with stores and passengers. The schooner Clyde, Captain Elder, recently arrived from the <South Sea Islands, will clear out at the Customs to-day, and take her departure for Rorotonga in the evening, in ballast, The Enterprise No. 2 returned from Shortland yesterday afternoon, with 50 passengers. Beports the schooners Elizabeth and Mary, and Fortune, as lying in the creek when she left. The barque Cambodia, Captaiu Croft, arrived at Gravesend from the Manukau on the 2nd of March. —Home News. Falmouth, Msroh 26. — The Racehorse, from London for Auckland, New Zealand, having been repaired, will sail this afteruoon. — Ibid. We learn from the Australian and New Zealand Gazette of March 7 that the baique Ballarift was announced to sail from London to Nelson and New Plymouth on the 25th March. The ship John Temperley, from Calcutta vifc Melbourne, arrived yesterday morning, bringing a portion of her original cargo, consigned to Messrs. Gilohrißt, Watt, and Co. The ship is in tho hands of Messrs.. R. Towns and 00 , and will probably return to Calcutta vifi, Melbourne, with a freight of horses —Sydney Morning Herald, M*y 9. Tho report of Captain Castle relative to speaking a vessel, at sea, 329 days out from Glasgow, bound to New Zealand, s^ems almost like 'a fable, but is, says i Gore's Liverpool Advertiser, atrictly true, as jthe following particulars from his journal will amply testify : — The steamer Pareroa was laden with general merchandise ; and a quantity of ooals, supposed to suffice for steaming through the calm belts, was placed on board, but it wai under sail principally she wai expected to make the voyage fr,om Glasgow to Dunedio. She was in charge of (Japtiain Grahame, who sailed on the 29th otOcl^ober, 1866, but on getting to sea he found a twin-screw steamer anything but fast when under sail. After beating about the Atlantic until the following April, he put' into Surinam with provisions and coals expended, and the vessel's bottom like a thrumme 1 mat from the marine accumulation on it. She lay there long enough , to communicate with Britain ; and, two engineers being sent out, after four months' respite she again essayed the pathless track on the -21st July, 1867; aad on the 23rd September, in latitude 3*9 N., longitude 13*12 E., she was spoken by the Hampshire. Some idea of her course was obtained from the second officer sent in charge of boat, who stated , that she had crossed and re-crossed the line nine times, and that at one time she was as far south as 5 degrees. The master's intention was to attempt, if possible, to m»ke Pernambneo' the next port of call. Captain Castle furnished the Pareroa with a fern hundredweight of coals, which was all he oould ■pare, and recommended Captain Grahame to keep a, look out for a vessel which saile<l in company with the Hampshire from Wales, coal -laden on ship's account, bound south. According to a rough estimation, it will take her four years to reach her final destination. The Roman brings passenger Captain Staats,whose Teasel, the British barque Teresa, foundered during a oyeldne in the Indian Ocean; latitude 11 30,3., loDgitude 87 W. During the storm the American ship Eddystone hove in sight, and remained by until the Teresa began to settle down, when her crew were taken on board, and landed at Cape Town February 18. Captain Adie, also passenger! by the Roman, reports that his vessel, the Columbus, was lost by iire in the Indian Ocean on December 30. She was laden with coal from Liverpool for Rangoon, and he and his crew, after being four days in the boats, were Dicked up by the English barque Alumina, and landed in Algoa Bay on February 2 — Evening Mail. Sinoe our last, the following ships have been deipatched for New Zealand.:— The Algernon, for

Nelson ; the Racehorse, for Auckland ; the Niphon, for Otago; the Gertrude, f>r Wellington. - New Zealand Examiner, March 4. The following passengers per Atrato arrived at Southampton, March 1, 1868 :— Mr. Grninner, from Auckland ; Mr. L. J. Bredacen, from Wellington j Mr. R. Pitcairn, from Tamnaki ; Mr. P. J. .Brine and Mr. Hayman, from Sydney; Mr. Dunlop and Mr. R. Chadwick, from Melbourne. — Ibid. The Government emigration officials at Liverpool have completed their usual statistics of the exodus from the Mersey during the month of January. The vessels wh'ch cleared under the Act were all to the Dniied t^tates ; but, when the state of the weather during the greater part of the past month is taken into account, the falling off in the number of emigrants as compared with the previous month cannot be wondered at. One feature in connection with the nationality of the emigrants to the United States is the preponderance of the English over the Irish element, but no doubt this it owing to the fact that a vast number of the Iri-th cave the expense of a Channel passage and embark at their own ports. During January there sailed to Amerioa 17 ships, with 2,904 passengers, of who 348 were cabin and 2,561 steerage. Of the latter 1,184 were English, 108 Scotch, 711 Irish, and 558 foreigners. The number of short ships, or ships not under Government survey, whioh sailed during the month were 21, of whioh 11 went to the United States, with 326 passengers ; 2to Victoria, with 35 j6 to South America, with 130 ; and 2to Africa, with 3d —making a total of 4,589, which, when compared with December, shows a falling off of 1,197.— 1° id English barque Aocola, Captain Pearson, from .Shields, was run down on Sunday night bv the Egyptian ateamer Dahlie?, in the Sea of Marmora. The captaiu and a portion of the crew were saved, but the remainder perished.— Constantinople Record, February 26. Man Lost Overboard from the Sitsannah Cuthbkrt. — A melancholy accident occurred during the upward passage of the .Susannah Outhbert to Grafton. When off Newcastle, on the 2nd, at 5 a.m., William Bennett, A.B , was bracing the yards, when a sudden shift of the wind caused the foresail to jib, and the boom struck the unfortunate man a severe blow, knocking him overboard, The steamer was immediately stopped, and a boat lowered, but every effort to save him failed. Jt was very dark at the time, with a heavy easterly sea. The deceased was not Been after he was observed to go overboard, although the chip remained steaming about the place until daylight. — Sydney Morning Herald, May 13. The barque Kate has made a very good run from San Francisco. Captain Cooper reports leaving there on the 16th March, and had tine weather and easterly winds until rounding the coast, when heavy southerly weather was experienced. — Ibid. ' ' Ships op War m Harbour.— Farm Cove never presented such an interesting sight as it does at present ; quite a squadron of, war vessels crowd its waters. The arrival yesterday of two French transports has filled the , bay to an extent we have never witnessed before. H.f.M. transport Aveyron is amongst the most conspicuous ; it is evident from a distant view that she is of a more modern and improved construction than any of her English neighbours. The Aveyron has been a souroe of attraction to a large number of our citizens, who, through the politeness and attention of her officer*, have been permitted to inspect her. With the Bonite and Dorade there are three vessel* under the French flag ; whilst the English ships comprise the Challenger, Charybdis, Kosario, and Falcon. — Sydney Morning Herald, May 15. The five clipper barque Albert Victor, belonging to Messrs. Boyd and Currie, has been chartered to proceed from Bobart Town to Western Australia, with the wives and families of those soldiers of, the 2-14 th Regiment who are about to proceed there. The Albert Victor is well adapted for the undertaking, and is now being fitted up for her passengers. The detachment will be taken to Western Australiaby H.M. s.s. Virago.— Argus, May 12.
