Sails for North this day, at Noon.' : SHI VOTiO! OS THB KiIKOEA. We Otago (Daily Times Have 'been favoured with the following :giving an acdount .of ths-jojage-of-tha- Kaikora, from a passen> ger ; The first ship of the Boyal Mail line for Pariama, New Zealand, and Australia, left Ply. month on the Bth' March, and arrived at St, Yincent, Cape de Verd Islands, 1 on the 16th, making the run of 2000 miles by the log, in eight days'. The greatest distance ran in one day was 292 juiles, and the shortest, 271, making an average of 250. The Eaikora stopped at St, Yincoiit four days, taking in 300 tons of coal, and getting the engmM vl overhauled. She left St, Vincent on the f!oth; crossed the Equator on the 26th, steaming against strong south-east trade winds all tbe way to the . Cape, and malting, ten. knots per hour, up to the 30tH,' Wfetf off St. Helena, it was. then found,.that one of the blades of the propeller had broken off, which reduced the vessel's speed by two knots an hour. The Cape, wasjreached on the 7th April, making the run frflm' St. Vincent in 18 days;, distance by thelog,4<)qp )nUes. The greatest distance made per day was . 253 miles, and the shortest, 103making an average of 222 per'day.' A day was spent at the Cape, taking in 600 tons of coal. The Eaikora 'left , on :tho 10th, and arrived at Port Phillip on the 6th. May, making the run from Ca'pe Town in 2(f'da;fs,' the' distance' 'being 5700 inilM. Th» great(3t-distance per "day was 300, «nd the shortest 96 miles, the average being 235 miles. Even this good nin would have been lessened had she not lost another of.the blades of her propelfe about 600 miles 1 fr6m'Port'Phillip. -The passage, on the whole was a most pleasant one, days from ; Plymouth The passengers testified their appreciation of Captam 'Wheeler by presenting him with, a complimentary address before ' eavmg the ship." ' ' (From the Argut) The Kaikora, the first of the ocean line of steamers in these I 'waters 'df the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian L Royal Mail Company, ■which was teltgraphed off the Otway on Saturday Afternoon, at Half-past four o'clock, came up tho

bay ycslmluy, and anchored olf tho Railway Pier shortly bofore ono p.m. Tho Kaikora, although by no means pretentious in appearance, is a fine vessel of beautiful lines rigged. The registered tonnags qniTrt' steamer is 1601 tons j and her engines aro ofj 4001? horse-nower nominal. She carries 1200 tons of coa|,Afl»n skS&. on a !

'm * watOTtieht v compartments, -/ and ''-linsr ! proved herself a remarkably rapid vessol undor steam or canvas, Her saloon accommodation is of a first-class order, and aims at judicious combination of comfort and economy. In addition to & library and piano, sho is fittod up with plunge and shower baths, and her resourcos aro equal to providing for upwards of 100 saloon and sixty | second-class passengors,' She has a spacious spar deck, which forms a splendid promonado. Iter pantry is fitted up with a due regard to creaturo comforts, and contains a steam not chest, steam boiler, and a steam tea and coffee percolator for tho use of tho saloon. Below there is a capacious icehouse, capablo of containing sufficient ice for tho entiro voyage from Wellington to Panama, and from the Isthmus to thoso colonios. Her providoro arrangements aro spoken of as being complete, ana the saloon table is alleged to bo equal to that of any firstclass hotel m London. On deck tho Kaikora is supplied with all the la'cst and most effioiont improvements in the slrnpo of steam winches. Sho has also a steam capstan for lifting tho anchor, and carries patent reefing topsails. Sho haß a topgallant forecastle for tho housing of hor crew. Tho Kaikora left Plymouth at twenty minutes past two p.m. on Bth March, and had strong breezes from the N. and E., with squally weather, as far as St. Vincont, where sho stopped for four days to coal. Light variable winds, with calms, wero experienced afterwards until reaching the equator, which was crossed on March 26. Prom the line to Table Bay, which was reached on April 7, very light winds prevailed, and the entire distanco wm done under steam. After remaining three days at the Cape, which she left on the 10th April, at 6 p.m. Moderate winds with fine weather were met with until passing the Leuwin, when strong head winds were encountered. The last three days of the voyage wero characterised by light winds and calms. On March 30, tho Kaikora, when off St. Helena, lost one of the blades of her threebladed screw, and on the 4th inst. it was discovered that another blade had gone, 1 leaving her to perform tho remainder of the voyage in a crippled condition, the screw having only one blade, and the motion of the shaft requiring that easy steam only should be' used. Addresses of thanks to Captain Wheeler, Mr. Darks (first officer), and the other officer! of the ship, were presented before the Kaikora reached the bay. ENGLISH SKIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
