The Plucky cleared the Heads at 2 p.m., and after a few minutes the mail st-amthr was seen approaching, and she came to anchor at 2.21 p m , when tho boat containing the olficial party ranged alongside, Mid the answer*-to the u uul questions by tho Health Officer (Dr Ooddab) being savisfacloriiy given by Dr Bentham, the ships surgc-ou.sho was potsed; at once t otrded and cleared In by Mr Maolnmiell, Customs Surveyor, and the work of transhipping mails and passengers immediately proceeded with. The Rimuiaka, in addition to a large number of saloon, second-class, and third-class pas-se-gers, brings 134 nominated immigrants, principally for Auckland ; about 4.939 tons cargo, of which only sixly-iix tons are for Dunedin; Of mad matter she' had 2SO bags from the United Kingdom, and six bags from Capo Toffs. As It was intended that tho Rimutaka should call at Lyttelton, only the passerj gers for this port were transhipped, together with 432 bags of n ails, and although there was a nasty tobhle of a sea on, not a single hitch occurred. The Rimulaka’s passage has occupied 39 days 13 hours 13 minutes from Plymouth to Otago Heads. , From this has to bo deducted her stoppages at , Madeira a.-.d Cipe Town, which amount to 17 hours minutr*, makiiVJ steamUitf time 38 days 10 hours 27 minutes.

The engineer staff is unchanged, and tho stewards’ department is s.s it was last voyage. The whole of the passeege-s have enjoyed excellent health, and everything has been done to enhance their comfort and enjoyment. Divine service has been regularly held, concerts and other amusements hare been iniproviaid, and tire and boat drill strictly attended to; and so satietled were the passengers that they pieaentcd Captain Hallett and the officer, with appropriate testimonials yesterday. The Rimutaka left Plymouth at 1.25 p.m. of February 44 with a light easterly breeze and moderate sea; arrived at Madeira at 6.30 am. of February 18, and, Biter taking In 273 tons of coal, proceeded on the voyage at 4145 o.m of tho same day with a light N.W. breeze and smooth sea, which ooi tinned until Watch 2, when a S.Kwted with head sea set in. and lasted until she arrived off Cape Town at 14.30 a.m of March 5.
