AKKIVAL OF THE INFLEXIBLE. j The fine new clipper ship Inflexible, under | the command of Captain W. Lyall, arrived in harbour on Sunday, April 3, from London, after a fair passage of 102 days The Inflexible, a fine new iron ship, of 998 tons register, and 2,000 burden builder's measurement, was built by Messrs. Denton and Gray, shipbuilders, at We3t Hartlepool,and launched in 1869. Her length is 200 ft. on the keel,and 220 ft. over all. She was originally intended for the India trade, but her owners, finding cargo coming down so fast at London just after her launch, at once decided to place her on the berth ; and five weeks after the time of her launch at West Hartlepool, she was proceeding ('own Channel a full ship on her way to .Auckland. At present her s loon accommodation is not very large, »s it was only built for the accommodation of her officers, ; but it is the intention of her owners to extend the poop to the after skid, which will then give a saloon of 60ft. long, and extra accomodation for about 30 passengers. Her saloon is very com. >act, and tastefully fitted up, with plenty of ventilation and height beftween the decks. She has also very excellent second-class accommodation between-dec T ts, the ventilation of which has also been very thoughtfully attended to. All the passengers on the outward voyage spoke very highly of Captain Lyall (who was for some yeais trading down South, where he made himself quite a favourite), and of his new ship, which is certainly one of the finest vessels that have visited these waters The Inflexible hauled alongside the wharf on the 9th, and commenced to discharge her cargo on the 1 Ith, and yesterday she had but a few packages more to finish her discharge. The very excellent condition in which it has been landed has, we learn, given the great ssfc satisfaction to her consignees. The Inflexible has been placed on the berth for London, and the greater portion of her cargo is already engaged, a part of which she has commenced to ship. Several passengers have ako aken passage by her. She is announoed to have quick despatch. Captain Lyall has kindly furnished us with the following particulars of the Inflexible's maiden voyage : — Left London on December 22, 1869, and passed through the Downs the same evening, with a fine KN.E. breeze. At 8 p.m. next dny sighted Lizard Lights to the north, wind north-east, thus having a Splendid run down Channel. Passed inside Teneriffe, Canaries, on January 2. The Inflexible picked up her north-east trades in. latitude 18 N. On January 9bn they, however, proved* very light and variable from about 0 N. to the equator. Crowed the equator <Ja tl» gsth, wty M%. (84d»y« out). Mtfcwitix •outo-east; fades »

latitude I S., but which, like tha Trrtfc. east trades, prored exceedingly light, carrying the vessel to 33-30 W. in 10 JS. Crossed the meridian of Greenwich on Fehrnary 23. Captain Lyall reports fchafc from the Canaries to this position he experienced the most unfavourable weather that he had ever met within all his experience, the average speed of the Inflexible bein^ below 100 miles per day. On the 26fch, at 8 p.m., passed the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope in latitude 44 S. From this point the Inflexible began to show that she was quite capable of " travelling" if the opportunity only offered. She passed the meridian of Tasmania on March 22, twenty-four days from the Cape, and on hsr ninetieth day from .London. In running down her easting the highest parallel attained was 53*20, where she had all high•ail breezes, with quantities of hail. When ths wind was in the south-west ouar* ter, on the parallels of 53-20 and 52, between 90- and 124 30 E., the Inflexible passed twenty icebergs. From Tasmania to the North Capo, which was passed on the evening of Friday last, experienced light easterly winds with fine weather: thence down the coast fresh E. and N.E. winds. The Inflexible arrived off Tiritiri on Saturday night last, where she lay-to till daylight ; arrived at the powder-ground at abo it eight o'clock on Sunday morning. The Inflexible, on discbarge of her inward cargo, will im« mediately commence to load for London,

AREIVAL OF THE ALICE. The fine barque Alice, flying the same house flag as the Inflexible, ana under the command of Captain "Wmdemar, made her appeal ance in harbour oa Sunday, April S, from London, after a passage of 106 days, or 102 from Torbay, to which place the Alice was compelled to put back owing to the strong westerly galea experienced. The Alice is a fine barque of 624 tons, and is comparatively a new vessel. She has arrived in excellent order, which reflects the greatest credit on her captain and officers. The A'ice brings a full cargo of genera merchandise and 9 passengers. The following ia Captain Windanur's report of the passage : We left London on December 7, and were 11 day* ! getting down channel, owing to stiong westerly gales ; put back to Torbay on the 19th, sailing again on the 21st. The iST.E. trades continued good, and carried the barque to tlie equator, after an excellent run of 21 da^s. Crossed the line on January 12, in 25 W. Picked up the S.E. trades in 1 X, and which carried the ship to 25 S. Passed the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope on February 7. Fiom thence experienced strong westerly winds to Tasmania (81 days out). From the Australian coast, experienced variable N. and N.E. winds. Passed the Three Kings on March 31 ; thence till arrival, strong E. and N.E. winds. Wo understand that she will, on discharge of her inward cargo, proceed to China to load for home. Messrs. Owen and Graham are agents for this vessel.

Besides having a full cargo of New Zealand produce, she is the bearer of 5,4820z. of gold, shipped by the various banks. Sho has alao several passengers, amongst whom are the names of the Rev. D. Bruce, Mrs. Bruce, and family.
