The Lord Ashley, with the English mail, arrived on Monday at 4 p.m., after a somewhat lengthy passage from Wellington.of twenty-four hours. She was off.this port at 8 a.m.; hut a dense mist with rain and a hard north-easterly gale compelled her to heave-to till 3 p.m., when the frog clearing off a little the land was sighted, and she bore up for this port. During the whole of the time that she was hove-to, she was under full steam, and every effort was made to work her clear away from the land; but notwithstanding the most strenuous exertions, the lead-line, which was kept constantly going, continued to mark fourteen fathoms. Her fan being continually lifted out of the water by the mountainous sea that was running, the vessel could just hold her own, and no more. It began to be feared that night would come on her while in this critical position; but as' above reported, the land was descried on the starboard head at 3 p.m. much to the joy of all on board, and she came to an anchor in this harbour at 4 p.m. Her passage from Sydney to Nelson was a boisterous one. She cleared Port Jackson Heads at noon on the 16th, and arrived at Nelson at 6 p.m. on the 23rd. A strong south-east gale prevailed the first four days, and the remainder of the passage was an alteration of strong and light winds from all points of the compass. She left Nelson on the 26th at midnight and made the run to Wellington in fourteen hours. She bring for this port from Sydney, besides an average amount of cargo, fourteen horses, all in excellent condition, the property of Mr. Edd's. About thirty-five second cabin passengers from Wellington have arrived by her en route to the new El Dorado. When the Lord Ashley came out of Wellington Heads a barque, with the pilot in charge, was beating in. The Lord Ashley did not go near enough to make out her name, but it was. supposed to be the Earl of Mar and Kelly, from England. She had evidently been in rough weather, as part of her bulwarks was stove in. About the same time the Wonga Wonga from Auckland and Taranaki hove in sight, but was too distant to be spoken.

THE CHRYSOLITE. Early on Saturday morning a red flag at the signal station, Diamond Harbour, gave notice of a ship entering the port. The wind at the time was blowing moderately from the south-west, and the incoming vessel, which proved to be the Chrysolite,, from London, with emigrants, was forced to beat up the harbour, thereby' trying to the utmost the patience of her living freight. At about 2 p.m. the steamers Lyttelton and Mullogh took her in tow, and after some little difficulty in fastening on to the ship brought her safely to the anchorage at half-past 4. A part of the immigrants were landed and lodged in the barracks the same evening, the remainder being landed the following morning. The Chrysolite is a remarkably fine North American built ship of 1129 tons register, nearly new, and has made a good average passage of 97 days, which would have been much shorter, but for the prevalence of southerly winds in the south-east trades, and soutlii east winds after getting out of the tropics, which took her far out of her proper course. It is rare to see an immigrant vessel enter the port in such a perfectly clean state, both as regards passengers and ship. The credit of this is due alike to captain and officers, all of whom are well spoken of. Much of the happiness as well as the health of the immigrants depends on the character and ability of the surgeonand the Chrysolite seems to have been particularly fortunate in securing the services of Dr. Cocksedge, a gentleman at once able and active in the performance of his various duties. A spirit of contentment and good will appears to have been universal among all classes during the voyage, which was unmarked by incident, with one melancholy exception, which resulted in the death of a fine young man of the name of Herbert Flower, a cabin passenger about 17 years of age, while ih'lat. 16.55 S.. long. 36.31 W.,the vessel going about 3 knots. Mr. Flower immediately after dinner walked forward to the forecastle with a companion; laying hold of a rope which hung over the bows of the vessel to let himself down with the object of touching the water; as he was attempting this feat a second time his strength failed him and he called out for help, but before this arrived he let go his hold and was swept against the stem of the ship. One of the sailors bravely jumped over after him, and a life buoy was thrown over the side both without effect. The ship was immediately hove-to and a boat lowered, but no trace of the unfortunate young man was discovered, except a cap floating on the water. Three births and two deaths occurred during the voyage; of the latter, one was a young woman named Bridget McEntagart, who died of consumption within two days of the arrival of the vessel; the other was a new-born infant. Captain Mclntyre will be remembered by some of the old settlers of the colony as having commanded the Amherst, brig, trading between Australia and New Zealand.
