The Excelsior left Auckland at 8 p.m. on Thursday the 9th inst., but was becalmed, immediately after leaving the harbour, for 16 hours; had a fresh nor-east breeze in rounding Cape Colville, which increased so much towards night that the schooner took shelter in Mercury Harbour. Sailed thence with a light northerly wind ou. Saturday morning, and rounded the East Cape on Tuesday at 8 a.m., having been becalmed nearly the whole of Sunday and Monday. Put into Table Cape for shelter from a strong gale from the South on Tuesday night, and lay there till Jate on the following afternoon ; had very baffling winds from Table Cape to Portland Island, which was passed at 10 a.m. on Thursday; got a leading wind up the Bay, and was within 6 miles of the Blutf at dark. Kept off and on all night and came to anchor at daylight yesterday morning. The Excelsior brings papers to the 9th inst., but they contain nothing of importance. — Herald, October 18.

The Excelsior, a smart looking new schooner of 62 tons, made her first appearance in our roadstead on Friday (yesterday) morning. She was built and ia owned and sailed by Mr. V(m. Meiklejohn, of Omaha, near Auckland. Mr. Meiklejohn has built a number of the finest vessels on the coast, amongst which are the Victoria and Caroline, both well known here. The Excelsior is four tons smaller than the Victoria, and on much the same model as the Caroline. She is chartered by Mr. Sherson to take up cattle to Auckland this trip, arid is likely to remain in the Napier and Auckland trade.— lbid.

Neither the Victoria, hence Sept. 28, nor the Zillah, Oct. 4, had reached Auckland when the Excelsior left on the 9th. Both, it will be remembered, were on the passage during the furious westerly gales experienced here. One schooner had arrived just before the Excelsior left, and two were seen entering the Houraki gulf by the Eastern passage, but the two above referred to were not amongst the number. On Monday last, a schooner, bound southwards, was seen standing in to Tologa Bay. — Ibid.

The Zephyr had a good passage hence to Canterbury, and landed all her horses in good condition, save one that died on the passage. They had not been sold, at the time of the schooner's leaving on her return. The intended destination of the Zephyr was Wellington, but it blew so furiously out of Cook's Straits that Capt. Lowry had to give up the idea of fetching his port, and came on to Napier. — Herald, October 25.

The Excelsior has had quick despatch, having landed a full cargo and taken on board her comnleraent of cattle within the short space of live days. — Ibid.

The Aquila has had a most boisterous passage of 7 days from Wellington. She sailed thence on the 19th instant, and almost immediately thereafter fell in with a heavy gale from west-nor-west, (the barometer being as low as 28) which carried her away to eastward, about one. hundred miles out of her course. The gale continued with but little intermission during all Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday— the cutter having been hove to under storm trysail nearly all that time. During a succession of heavy squalls the bowsprit and forestaysail were carried away — the vessel being occasionally literally under water. One sea which struck her carrjea away part of her bulwarks and swept the deck, filling the cabin with water. On Thursday the weather mode* rated, and on Friday a light N.E. breeze sprung up. Made Cape Kidnappers, bearing: W.N.W., distant 10 miles, on Saturday morning, when the wind veered round to N.W., blowing fresh; and the cutter was all Saturday and Sunday beating up the Bay. She entered the Iron Pot about 5 p.m. of the latter.— Herald, Oct. 28. The Dart left Sydney on the 10th and had a good run as far as Portland Island, which she fetched on the 19th. She there encountered a strong westerly gale— the same as the Aquila experienced— and was driven out to sea. Fetched the laud again on the morning of Saturday, and was beating up all day and part of Sunday. It was expected that she would be taken into the Iron Pot last eveaiug,— /Wei.

«o^? + ?H- a L leffc Au <*lmul at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 29, with light westerly winds, which wore round to N.E. and increased to a strong braese during the afternoon, bpoke the cutter Planet from Poverty Bay for Auckland same day, and put into Tryphena harbour next day at noon, bailed from the Barrier on the following Saturday at 10 a.m, and had light westerly winds to East Cape, which was rounded on Sunday morning. Sighted me cutter Lapwing and came on in company. Passed Portland Island at 9 p.m. on Tuesday the sth inst., and came to anchor at 9 a.m. on Wednesday. uli 6 left Auckland on Saturday, Oct. 25, with light weather. Put in to the Barrier next day to load firewood. Sailed again on the 29th, with strong NorSffawi* Ol L the morning of Thursday, the SOth, the wind Wowing strong, bore up for Mayor Island for shelnrtf ?SJEii BM^ °? Saturda y j morning, Ist inst., with Xt *"? £J e^? ds 4.,? 0 £ n< } ed Bast * a P c on Sunday night; sighted the Zillah the following morning and n «s*£ om ,W"™ Si J^ ted the Zephyr, hence the fng th 4th • t End Foreland on Tuesday morn-

„«£ t Victoria left Auckland late on Friday the 31st ult- « aa iu^r.*-!*?? weather passage of 5 days. She rounded the East Cape on Monday night, and came to her anchorage at l a.m. on Thursday. nJrtS. *Jn?^ 7 1 h £ r lasfc oP^ard Passage, Left Napier on the 3rd of September and proceeded to Poverty Bay, ww S ,? on board 22 head of cattle, and sailed for Auckland on the 27th of the same month. Immediately J^ ng vi he ??* she encountered a heavy northerly «ale which obhgedhertobe hove to, and, so severe was the weather, 4 were lost the first night. Put back to Poveityßay next morning, and sailed again the following to3 V ■ ai K nd ss r the 29fch « Tuesday morning at half-past 2 ?P? k 9* he .victoria, hence the 28 th September. It was then blowing a gale from westward; anchored off Waipu *9.® s*-™* njght in company with the Victoria and the Lilian, both from this port. Left Waipu in company on Saturday morning, 4th October, and anchored same night in Hicks' Bay, where were also the Dolphin and iiose Ann (the latter vessel having been there when the -Lapwing was coming down) . Sailed from Hicks' Bay in company on Tuesday, 14th October, still blowing strong irom the westward, and sighted the Albatross, for Auckland, from Otago. Wind changed to light southerly, ■which earned the fleet to Auckland- the whole arriving withm a few hours of each other on the 17th ult. The Lapwing out of 22 hea* of cattle lost 4 ; the Zillah out of 25, 1; the Victoria out of 31, 5 ; and the Dolphin, which was also loaded with cattle from Poverty Bay, and had sailed thence a week before the Lapwing, 5. The Sea Serpent has had a pleasant passage from Wellington of eight days, including two calls on the coast— viz at White Bock and Castle Point. She left Port .Nicholson on the 28th ult., and arrived on Thursday last at mid-day. The Esther was loading ex Asterope when tUe berpent left and would leave Wellington for Napier on Tuesday last, the 4th lnst.
