The Egmont, one of Messrs. Willis; Gann & Co.'s New Zealand packet ships, arrived in Lytteltonon Monday after a smart passage of 93 days. The Egmont brings about 80 : assisted immigrants, a large number being single women, who are reported by the matron to bear an excellent character. Th# voyage has been unmarked by incident,save in the instance of * melancholy case of suicide by a man of the name of Marrison, who jamped overboard during the passage and was drowned, in spite of every effort being made to save bira. The deceased was a married man, and the cause of the rash act is attributed to domestic troubles, The general health of the j passengers is well reported of. During the early part of the voyage the weather was Very favourable, but in making her aodthiag the ship experienced a continuation of exceedingly heavy galsf. The Egmont has-brought back some old colonists to Canterbury, among whom we noticed J. D. Lance, Esq., Mr. G. Tayler, and Mr. Matson. The following testimonial has been presented to Dr. Smith, theSargeon.Saperintendent:— "July, 1862. " We, the undesigned, emigrants, and passengers on board the ship Egmont, on a voyage from London to Canterbury, New Zealand, on nearing onr destination, cannot leave without bear'o 'h® kiudnessj zeal, and attention, as well as the ability 'of his professional knowledge shown by Dr. Smith,- ' aurgeon of the ship Egmont, towards as, and wishing him all prosperity and success." .

Some anxiety is naturally felt as to tho fate of the Kensingion, which sailed for this port on the 6th February. The last English mail announced her having been spoken in 4° N. L., on the 16th March. Considering the lengthened passages made by other ships which left London for the Australian colonies and New Zealand about the same period, it is probable that she has,met with similar weather; and having a quantity of valuable live stock on board, may have put into St. Helena or the Cape for water. Should she not arrive before the next English mail, we may expect to hear further tidings of her from that source. HEATHCOTE RIVER. SAILED.

The Steamship Gothenburg.—Since her arrival at Port Chalmers, this new addition to Messrs. M'Meckan and Blackwood's fleet of steamers has Jbeen iuapected by numerous visitors, and has elicited the admiration*of all by her-proportions, anil her ample 'accommodation for'passengers and. cargo. Until; time permits for a more lengthy description of the vessel, we quote from the Melbourne ' Argus' the following account of her trial trip in" Hobson's Bay, which contains also particulars of her dimensions and fitting)):—" On Saturday last, a nume-' ■ rnns party of.gentlemen interested in the trade between Victoria ' and New.Zealand (including strangers from the latter), met on board the .stenmsbip Gothenburg, by the invitation of her ' owners,' Messrs. M'Meckan, Blackwood and Co., for the trial trip of this latest addition'to the iron steam merchant fleet ' of Melbourne. . The Gothenburg, it will be recollected, arrived* only a few days ago from London, after a somewhat protracted passage., Since then she has been discharged of a large cargo, taken on the patent slip to serape and paint her hull, ship her: propeller, and prepare for the Otago aud Melbourne trade, in which she is hereafter to be employed. The preparation of the ship, therefore, has necessarily been hurried, and her trial > trip was made under every disadvantage. It is sufficient on' this head tosay'that she'was seven feet deep by the stern, and that being so much out of trim, it was not expected that her full steaming capacity would be determined. The result of; the short-cruise, however, was sufficient to show that a very, fast and fine sea-going steamer his bpensecured for this cojony,' and one wliich'will do her spirited owners credit. The' guests? found the Gothenburg lying alongside the Railway Pier, at : Sandridge, with colours .flying and steam , up, and about one, o'clock she was. cast off from the wharf and under way. It 1 was intended to round tho Swan Spit lightship, and between ' the lightship off' Gillibrand's 1 Point and the Swan Spit, the Gothenburg was timed both'on t and in. A smart south-easterly; breeze was blowing, but with this disadvantage the; distance; between the two lightships—which is between 21 and and 22 nautical miles—was done in' two hours and eight minutes on' the ontward run, and two hours and three- minutes on the return. This was ascertained to be only a few. minutes more' than the time occupied by the AJdinga on her first run over the. same ground, a fact which speaks well for the new; ship. An' elegant cold collation was provided on board—there was no: stint to the hospitality of Messrs; M'Meckan,' Blackwood,' and Co., —and success to the owners, the; ship, and the colonies'' which she is to assist in connecting in bonds of trade, was duly, ! toasted. The Gothenburg was built and engined ~by. Mr.'ScottRussell, on the Thames. Her engines are 1 oscillating, and of 120 horse power. Her burthen is 800 tons, : and she can carry I some forty or fifty cabin, and some 300 steerage passengers. Her cabins are unusually large and lofty, and as they are situated amidships, they are likely to be found extremely comfortable at sea. Unlike any other steamer in the trade, the Gothenburg has a flush deck, so constructed as to give great strength to the ship. She is commanded by Captain'Mackie, lately first officer of the Aldinga, who has well deserved the promotion in the service which he has now attained. The mission of the Gothenburg especially, a'fter the trip on which she starts on Wednesday next, will be to carry the mails between Melbourne and Otago, for which her power and speed well adapt her. We are glad to understand that she will shortly be followed from England by another steamship which has been added to'the find fleet owned by Messrs. M.'Meckan, Blackwood and Co.—' Daily Times,' June 30. The Clutha, which reached. Port Chalmers this forenoon, is from Auckland, with timber and a few passengers.; Brings later dates than the Albatross, which arrived on Tuesday, having left Auckland on the 17th. The local papers roport that the Messina, the Robert Small, and the Blundell, so long overdue from London* have not yet made their appearance. The Messina is now 154 days out, the Robert Small 127, and the Blundell 129. A large vessel was observed far outside Tiri Tiri, but she was not signalled. There are hopes entertained that it may be one of the overdue English Bhips. The Kauri had arrived at Hawkes Bay from Auckland, after a most tempestuous passage, and reports having seen nothing of the missing Pole Star ' * Daily Times,' June 27.
