Tue Kakai.! brings a full general cargo, and it is no more figure of speech to s.y that she comes into port m superb order ; everything about her is ai neat and clean as hands can make it—a fact which speaks volumes for Captaiu Watson and Mr Messiuger, her excellent chief officer. The passage out ha? occupied ninety-four days from deck to anchor, ard ninety-three days from the Kore lighc to J.'orfc Chalmers anchorage very excellent work ind».fd. She left the Fasn India Docks on October 12, and was towed down the Nore, where r.he anchored for the night; on the morning of the 13th ;' had westeriy winds down channel, landed the pdot on October 18, and took her departure on tho same day from Start Point; experienced westerly winds across the Bay of Biscay, veering from S.W. to N.W., and took the fust of the N.F. ! trade in latiuvle 20deg S., longitude 2l3deg W. jon October SI: the trade was moderate and j died away on November 9 in latitude odeg N., j longitude 2.)iU ! g4fim''n W.. and on the following day in latitude ldeg3BminN., longitude 27dcg 17min W., i-hc picked up the S.E. trade, and crossed the Equator on November li in j longitude 2Sdeg 29min Vt.

The gale lasted twenty-four J hours, and in weaiivg the ship the truss of the j lower f-wetopsail snapped and canied away. j Steps were at once taken to secure it, and it has ] been la3hed up since that time. After the gale J moderated the Rakaia stood away on her course J wioh moderate to strong passage winds, regisI taring 210 miles daily for the next seventeen j days. The meridian of Cape L : .euwiu was i cr ssed on January 2nd with a strong S.W. j g"!e, torrents of ra : n, and very heavy se.ip, j which Ustrd for twenty four hours ; thence she j had rroder.ite to strong westerly winds, and j p .~-;ed die island of Tasmania on January S;h ; still keeping steady winds she made her first landfall off the Snares at 3.30 p.m. of the 12t-h January, bad a strong >.VT. gale the coast, and Otago Heads as above.
