A ship from the south was signalled early yesterday morning, and as the N.Z.B. Company’s honseflag was hoisted at the flagstaff, it was generally supposed that the ship was the Piako. The numbers, however, were hoisted, denoting the Orthes, and shortly after 10 o’clock, that vessel entered the Heads in tow of the p.s. Lyttelton, and anchored OS Diamond Harbour. The Orthes is a very handsome iron ship, ofl2oS tons register, built by Messrs J, and G. Thompson, of Clyde Bank, Dumbartonshire, and owned hy Messrs J. Harding and Co., Glasgow. She was launched in 1877, and is now on her second voyage, the flrit having been made to India. The ship has a splendid deck, and is fitted with all the modem improvements. He.- saloon is very comfortable, and fitted and finished with oreat taste, and due regard to comfort. Captain Potef Macfariane is in command, and speaks in very high terms of the behaviour of his vessel in all weathers. , The Orthes’ passenger list includes the names ol 28 passengers, four in the saloon, 17 second cabin and 7 steerage. One of the second cabin passengers, -TrsvE. M. Nichols, died on Nov. 26, three days 'after leaving the Start, She had suffered a good deal frorai-w® sickness, and her husband, who was on beard, informed Captain Macfarlan© that she had previously suffered considerably from heart disease. The second oab|n steerage passengers were quartered —as usual—in the ’tween decks aft, and appear to have been very comfortable throughout the voyage. The Orthes' brings, a very large cargo, over 2200 tons, and comes ouit under charter to the Hew Zealand Shipping Company, Among other appliances, the Orthes is furnished with, a pyroletor, a patent force pump for- nse os a fire engine, which throws a stream of wader impregnated with carbonic acid gas into theUmld, or wherever a fire may have broken out. The* pumpmay also be used as an ordinary washdeck pumr.. The voyage has been devoid of any incident worthy of note, excepting the death already referral to. The weather, taken afta whole, has been.Mr, no gales of any importance having been encountered. - Captain Macfariane reports tha* he left London on Nov 26, landed his pilot off tttq Start Point on Nor.’23. and had a good MU. as fair as 20.21 north 2?.3iTwest oifPec. 1, when * ot light ana
