The ship Lancashire Witch, arrived in Lyttelton harbor off the Quarantine ground, at 11 o'clock, after a pleasant passage of 96 days. On the Commissioners going on board they found that fever and hooping-cough had prevailed on board some time ago, commencing shortly after ehe left London, but no sickness of importance remained, and she was released. Three adults and 23 children died on the passage. Dr. McLean comes out as Surgeon Superintendent, this is his second visit in that capacity to this colony, having arrived here in the Echunga, in December, 1862. It was considered imperative to call in at the Cape for a fresh supply of medicines and othsr necessaries, but having fever on board she_ was put into quarantine, and scarcely any communication •was had with tne shore people, although fresh meat, vegetables, and fruit could have been obtained alongside, yet the officials prevented the passengers making any purchases. This appears rather a hardship than otherwise, after enduring some months at sea, on salt provisions, besides the sickness existing on board; nine births occurred. She left the docks on the sth July, with fine weather down channel; crossed the line on the 30th day out, sth August. She was at the Cape on the 30th. During her stay the Federal steamer Vanderbilt put in in search of Confederate vessels. The s.s. Georgia had only left the day before. Sighted Stewart's Island on the Bth instant; made Otago heads, and took a pilot on board, for Timaru, arrived there on Saturday the 10th, landed about 100 of her passengers, aud left again for this port on Monday, the 12th, at ten in the morning. It appears there was a good demand for skilled workmen and good servants. Mr. Woollcombe applied for five blacksmiths, but only got two. There is no doubt she is a fine ship, and in every way suited for the conveyance of emigrants. Her distillery apparatus is one of Gravely's patents, and capable of supplying over 500 gallons daily, and she has other improvements for cooking. She is commanded by Captain West, and consigned to Messrs. Dalgety, Buckley and Co.

Within the last few days the inter-colonial fleet of steamers has received several additions of an important character. The first of these vessels to arrive was the" Alexandra, a new Clyde built vessel, which now lies alongside one of the old piers at Williamstown, with a broom at her mast-head, indicating that she is for sale. The next was the City of Launceston, also from the Clyde, now in the Yarra. She is intended for the Tasmanian trade, and will take her place on that line as soon as she is discharged and ready for sea. The third, and most valuable of all, is the Hero, built at Hull, and likely to be employed in the New Zealand trade. This vessel lies alongside the Bailway Pier, at Sandridge, and yesterday was visited bv hundreds of persons. She is a powerful-looking vessel, and her rapid passage from England is a proof that her capabilities are equal to her looks. We shall also have the City of Hobart again in the trade of the port in a week or two, with new boilers, and after a thorough overhaul. We may add that the Queen, also thoroughly refitted, has commenced to ply between Melbourne and Brisbane, touching at Sydney, a service in which the Balclutha was for a short time engaged, before her purchase by the Australasian Steam Navigation Company.— -4ww«, Sept. 21. The steamship Hero arrived in Hobson's Bay at an early hour yesterday morning, after having made one of the quickest passages on record, from England. She left Liverpool on the 22nd of July, crossed the equator on the 15th day, and arrived in Table Bay (Cape Town) on the twenty-seventh day; remained there three days, and arrived off Cape Otway on the 17th inet., thereby making the extraordinary pamage of 56 days, including three days detention at the Cape. About 18 hours were also lost in consequence of a cyclone, encountered on the 23rd ult., which necessitated her heaving to for that length of time to repair damages sustained in the heat of the gale, the wheel having been broken and the cabins inundated the sea breaking on board. The cyclone commenced at went west about to S.W.; it lasted 36 hours. The Hero is nearly a new vessel, having been JbuiHin 1861 atKingston-on-Hull for the running of the blockade «t Charleston. ' She is 764 ton* register and 899 tons burden, incluamg «nmno-Toom. Shevatb with two engines, made by E. and W. JEarle, they of 76<horse power each, and capable, on a daily consumption of only ,17 tons of coal, of propelling her at the rate of 11 knots per hour. The dimensions are 224 ft. din. loiiig, 416.: Sin. beam, and 15ft. 7in. depth of hold : the salooais somewhat superior, being magnificently fitted up with the latest improvements, very capacious, well ventilated, and affording accommodation for about 40 passengers. Capt. Clark (late of the Stornaway), who commands her deserves credit for having brought her out in Buch good order and so short a space of tune.
