Tho b:ig Mlna was towed across the bar by the Plucky, and anchored off Harrington Point at 1.15 p.m. on Satirday. She brings a full cargo of piles, tluabor, baric, and fruit from Port K-peVaiice, Tasmania, which port she left on tho 2uhult., with a S. W. broezo, which held for twontyfeur hours, when it increased to a heavy gale, which necessitated her heavlng-to for thirty-six hours, when it veered to S S.E., and tho had a contlnuanci of heavy gales right acroes; passed the Snares at 8 p.m. on the 6tb inst., and reached tho Heads on the evening of tho 10th. The Beautiful Star left Oamaru at 315 p.m. on Saturday. Had N.E. winds to Moeraki; thence westerly winds, and arrived at Dunedin wharf at 10.20 p.m. The Kakanul, from Inveroargill, passed the Port to Dunedin at 8 a.m. yesterday.

ARRIVAL OF THE COPTIC. The steamer Coptic, from Plymouth via Auckland and Wellington, roached the Heads at 11,30 p.m. yesterday, and anchored until this afternoon, when she crossed the bar and steamed up, borthing alongside the George street pier in readiness to discharge cargo. Io coming up the harbor she took the ground off Pulling Point, but was soon got off. THE BUAPBHU. In our issue of Saturday we announced the arrival of the Kuapehu at the Heads from Plymouth via Madeira and Capo Town after a fine passage of under foity-two days, Including sixteen hours' detention at Madeira and Caps Town, but owing to some arrangement between Portmaster Downes and the Harbormaster tho KcpuUl left the George street pier eariier than wasexpeottd, so as to be able to tow the Otago to sea. In oonsequenci neither Dr Drysdale (heilth officer) nor Mr Macdonuell (durvoyor of Customs) were on boatd ; and tho Press rcpresentatircs were therefore precluded from proceeding out in her, as no person Is allowed to board or leave any over-sea Teasel unlil she baa been passed by eiihiir the health or Customs ottloia s. But this regulation on the present occasion has been Bet at defiance. The Government havlr.g appointed a dulyqualified medical gentleman, is the person of Dr Drysdalo, as health officer, it is somewhat strange thai the tug should leave the wharf with the intention ot transhipping cither tho mails or passengers without either Dr DryeiUlo or Mr Maodonncll being present to clear tho vessel, os, in the ovent of thore being sickness on board the big tteainer, the tug would havo been oompelled to return to port for the services of Dr Drysdale, which would have necessitated a loss of nearly two hours. On tho Koputal neariog the Heads, tho party, whleh consisted of Captains Macfarlaoe and M'Callum (Harbor Department), Captain Boyd (the Company's Dunedin agent), Messrs Mill, Aflher, and Webster, were transferred to thoPiu:ky, which at onoe steamed towards tho mail steamer, whieh had just hove In sight. A portion of tho mails and twenty-three passongers were transhipped by means of the ship's boats, under the charge of Messrs Forbes and Jaggard, the third aad fourth officers. The tug was then headed for tho brig Mina, from Tasmania for this port, am, taking her in tow, brought her aoros? »he bar. The tug then steamed up to tho Bowon pier, and landed the mails and passengers ; eo it is evident that there could have been no urgent necessity for despatching the Koputai in the way she was. We thank Mr Asher for his kindnesi in bringing on shore the report of the Ruapehu's passage, and also a list of those on board. The Ruapehu brings 196 passengers for all ports, together with 1,956 tons of eeneral cargo and 170 bigs of mails, of which ninety-nino were landed at Port Chalmers, and the remaining oighty for all ports taken on to Wellington, some of which wero for the South. The staff of officers is unchanged. We think the navigating officer, Mr Forbes, for the following report :-Sho left Plymouth at 2pm ot July 31, and on August 1 passed aHd exchanged signals with the s.s. Dorio, bound north; had strong hc«d winds until Bho passed Cape Finisterre, and then light fair winds to Madeira, whoro she arrived at 10.80 a m. of August 4. Coaled, and left again at 4.45 p.m. of tho tame day, and, favored by strong N.E. winds, she passed tho island of Tenerilfe at noon of August 5, where she BuiTered a detention of 1 hour 50 minutes, to some slight repaiiß being necessary to her engines Tho Capo do Terdo group was parsed at 4.45 a.m. of the Bth nit. in latitude sdeg N. Thence she bad BE. trade, and crossed the Equator on tho 11th ult.,in cool pleasant weather with moderate breezes, and from thttico sho had fresh h»od winds and sea until bhe anchored in TaMo Bay, Cape of Good Hopa, at 10.15 a.m. of August 24; the aotualtlracontho passage from Pljm?uth beiug 19 days 18 hour* 44 minutes, her steaming time beluglO davs 4 hours 89 minutes, and average ftpecd 12.8 knots per hour. After ojaling and embarking pissengers and malls she It It the Capo at 8.20 p.m. of the same day. Encountered a fresh bead g'llo with high eeo on leaving Table Bay, and which on the 23rd ult. increased to a whole galo with tremendous Boa, wbioh necesxitated the easing of the engines until the morning of tho 2itb ult., when the weather moderating she proceeded at full rpced .'.gain until August 27, when a steppage of 3 hours and 50 minutes was made for engineering purposep. She pissed Kcgueleu's Land on August 29; and thencu to tho Snares, whioh Bbc parsed at 5.30 p.m. on tho 10th inst., she had varla! lo winds with unsettled weather, tho barometrical Indications varying from 28.30 to 29.40. Neither lee, wreckage, nor vessels were seen during tho passage. She passed the Nuggets at 6.30 a m. on the 11th inst, aud arrived oil Taiaroa H'.adsat 10.30 a.m.; her actual time being 41 days 8 hours 50 minutes, her steaming timo 40 .Jays 4 hours 40 minutes; her mean eoeed 12.8 knots, and her best day's work 352 miles. Tho Ruapehu sailed ot noon for Wollin • ton. ARRIVAL OF THE NETTIE. Tho brigantlno which was reported off tho Heads on Saturday forenoon proved to be the Nettie, from New York. She was taken in tow by the tug Plucky and brought aoross the bar at 4 p.m., and anchored oH Carey Uav in roadinees for towing to Dunedin. All being well, ehe was jroiiiptly cleared in by Mr Macdoancil. The Nettle is still under the eommand of Captain Lowry, and brings some 825 tons of cargo, half of which is for Dunedin, and the remainder for Auckland. We thank Captain Lowry for the following report of the passage, which has occupied 116 davß:—She left New York on May 19; had N. to NW winds with fine weather down to longitude Bl'deg 58min W., latitude SSdeg 64min N., on May 25 ; thonce she had the winds from S.E. to E.S.E. down to longitude 30deg 48min W. and latitude 9deg 9mm N., on June 10; followed bv E.N.E winds until she reached longitude 22dog 4min W., latitude 6deg 3Gmin W. on Juno 10; they were followed by light winds frcin tho southward and westward down to the Equator, which she crossed in longitude 27dcg 20min, forty-two days out. The 3 E. trade was taken on tho Equator, and took her down to latitude 21deg 51min S., longitude 30deg Hmin W. on July 7 ; thonco Bho had variable winds for four day 9, and took the Bteady westerlies on July 11 In latitude 2Sdeg 40min S.. longitude 2Tdeg W. Tho meridian of Greenwich was crossed on July 24 in latitude 40deg 22min S.. tho weather being moderate with high barometrical indications. Sho kept the westerlies all across the Southern Ocean, and crossed the marldlan of Capo Leeuwin on August 20, in latitude 44dog S ; thenco sho had tho winds from N.B. to E N.E. with light variable weather until September 1 in longitudo 148deg Bmin E„ latitude 47deg lOmin S., when westerly winds sot in again She passed Stewart Island on tho 6th inst., and was becalmed for twentyfour hours; thence sho hod light N.E. winds until the Bth inst., followed by a hard gale with tremendous sea, the barometer falling to 29 61, which lasted until tho afternoon of the 9th intt., when the wind dropped, but she experionoed a fearful sea with heavy rams until 6 p.m. on the 10th lnet.; then took a N.W. breeze, and made the Heads as above. She made her easting between tho parallels of latitude 42deg and 45deg S. . ARRIVAL OF THB WESTLAND. The ship Westland, belonging to the Shaw-Saviil and Albion Company's fleet, whioh arrived off the Heads on Friday afternoon, anchored until Saturday morning, when she was taken in tow by the tug Koputal and brought across the bar at 1 p.m., and came to anchor in the Quarantine Ground, having on board some tsn tons of powder. On coming up the cross channel sho was met by tho Customs launch, and the answers to tbo usual questions by Dr Dryßdalo (health officer) being satisfactorily replied to by Captain M'Willtams, Mr Macdonuell boarded her and promptly cliared her in. Tho Westland's passage has been au exceptionally long one for this fine vessel, having occupiod ninety-seven days from port to port, which 13 easily accounted for by the fact that she ir.ct adverso »inds for tho greater part of the passage. She comes into port in beautilul order! reflecting great crtdit both to Captain M'Williams and his officers, of whom Mr Gray is still chief, Mr Smith second, and Mr Gannaway third, while Mr Charles M'Kinnon (for years chief steward with tho late Captain Whitson. of the sbio Dunedin) » in charge of the victualling departmrnt. Tho Westland brings some 2.000 tons of canto, of which 1600 ons are general poods, and the remaining 400 tons dead wrjohl, in addition to ten tons ot powder. Hers-.x pas--8,-mc.jrs have enioved excellent health. *lhe monotony of the passage was broken fit the island i.flnetan d'Acunba on July 31, when a boat put off to the ship. The islanders informed Captain M'ftilliains that thoy were in rtraits for provisions and lack oi medical J ednifc'rtii. Tlicv had. h\i severely the lou oi tho ci'ow

of a boat belonging to the Island, which foundered some months slnco, and of whose f ate they were unaware until Captain M'Williamß apprised them of it. Some of the wives of the men lost were approaohing confinement, and the captain generously sent them a supply of port wine, tea, sago, eta. The people staed that tho Rev. Mr Dodson, their late chaplain, had left the Island for some time past, and had promised to send for them; this, however, he had not done, and they- requested Captain M'Williams to make their condition known. On tho day tho Westland breasted Start Point, one of the seamen who signed articles under the name of George Norry complained of illness. Ho was at once attended to and brought aft, and on July 1 the sh'p spoke an Italian steamer, the surgeon of which boarded the Wes'land and prescribed for the man who gradually got worse, and on July 26 sent for this captaio, and informed him that he had been sailing under an assumed name, his real name being Moy Jean Marie George ; ho also expressed a desire that his effects and money might be transmitted to his sister. Previously to this the ship had spoken the ship Canterbury, from London for Wellington, on July 21, and the surgeon cf that vessel had examined the man, who Anally expired on August 7 from dropsy of the ;iver, and was buried at sea on the samo afternoon.

We are Indebted to Captain M'Williams for the following report, tauen from his private journal : The Westland left the East India Docks at 2.15 a.m. of June &; proceeded to Gravesend, embarked powder, and left again at 11 p.m.; passed Duogenees at 6.46 a.m. of the 6th; had light variable winds and calms down Cnannel; passed the Bill of Portland at 6.30 p.m. same day, and breasted Start Point at 3 a.m. of the Bth; had northerly winds, and took her departure from the Lizard at noon of that day; she had fresh adverse winds aoross the Bay of Biscay, which continued for twelve day?, and on June 21 took the N.E. trade in latitudo 22dtg 36min N., longitude 24deg Ssmin W.; had a pleasant trade, and lost it in latitude 6deg 68mln N. on July 2, thoncs she had variable winds, and crossed flbe Equator on July 8 in longitude 28deg 6min W.; took the B.E. trade on the next day in latitude 2d eg 40min S.; it was poor, and compelled her to make several tacks in order to clear tho Brazilian coast, and finally gave out on July 18 In latitude 22deg S.; thence she had variable winds; passed the island of Tristan d'Aoimha on July 30, and crossed tho meridian of Greenwich on August 1 in latitude lOdcg 17min S. Thence sho had moderate westerly winds, and rounded tho Cape of Good Hope on August 6 in latitudo Sldcg 46niin S.; had fair passage winds with moderate weathor across the Southern Ooean; orossed the meridian of Cape Let uwin on August 21 in latitude IBdeg lSinin S.; had moderate NE. winds down to September 4, when she took westerly winds again and passed Stewart Island on the 7th Inst., on which day Qeoigo Norry, A.8., was baried; passed Slope Point at ft p.m. of*tho 9tri, and rustle Cape Saunders at 2 p.m. cf the 10Sb, coming into port us above. AUor transhipping her powder she will be towed to Dunedin to discharge her cargo. ARRIVAL OP THE GANYMEDE. " Long-expected come at last,' may be said of the barque Ganymede, which put in an appearance at the Heads on Saturday afternoon after 4. passage of 130 days from London. Sho was taken in tow yesterday forenoon by tho tus Plucky, and brought up to the anchorage in the Quarantine Ground, having on board some six tons of powder, She was met by tho Customs launch, and ail being well was passed by Dr Drysdale (health-officer), and cleared in by Mr Macdonnell (surveyor of Customs). The Ganymede brings a full dead - weight cargo, consisting of 600 tons of cement ana 300 tons of holloware. Since her last visit to this port there has been a ohange in her command, Captain A. G. Walker, formerly of the brig Hio Logo, one of Mr Turner's fleet, having superseded Captain Morgan. Her long passage is attributed to her being heavily laden and meeting a continuance of adverse winds. We are indebted to Captain Walker for the following report of the passage taken from his abstract log: - She left Giavesend pn May 4 ; had oalm and light easterly winds down tho Channel, and took her departure from tho Lizard on May 10; thenos sho bad W. and N.W. airs until May 16, on which day she Bpolte the Bhlp Collingwood, from London ts Adelaide, in latitude lldeg 15min N , longitude 14deg 20min W. ; thence had light W.S.W. breezes until she passed Madeira on May 21, and pioked up the N.E trade; it left her In latitude fldeg 20mln N., longitude 23dcg 57min W., on June 3, and she crossed tho Equator on June 10 in longitude 26de? 6iuin W.; had light variable airs until the 13ih, and then took the S.E. trade ; It proved light and unsteady, and gave out on June 23 in latitude 19deg Bmin S., longitude 34deg ISioin W.

On June 30 she spoko the ship Superb, from Melbourne for London, in latitude 27drgl0inin S., longitude iQJcg 43min W. Cilms and variables woro experienced from July 6 to 10, on which day Bbc passed Triutsn d'Acunha with moderate N.E. winds, and which increased to A hard northerly gale on July 12, blowing for two daj»; thence she had variablo northerly winds until July 20, when a run of strong S. W. winds with heavy snow squalls at Intervals set in. She ran down the easting in latitude 46Jeg S , setting variablo winds from N.W. to S.W.until August 22; thence sho had light northerly weather, followed by calms and light easterly winds, until August ss, when strong N.E. gales wcro encountered, and on August 31 the wind came away from the westward with very low barometrical indications, the mercury falling to 28.78, and strong westerly squalls were oncountered which lasted until September 8 ; tbenco she had continuous N.W. winds veerinjr to the northward and blowing heavily, and on tho Bth inst.ehe was compelled to bcave-to under her lower maintopsail, meeting a hard noithorly gale ofl the Snares; tho wind came out from the N.W. on the next day, and thence she had westerly winds with moderate weather; passed Nugget Point at 2 a.m. on the 11th Inst, and had moderate westerly winds to arrival.
