Original cabin passengers from Melbourne — Mr. and Mrs. Webb, Messrs. Ross, Gibson, Clarke, McMellan, Mr. .and Mrs. Kirkwood and family; steerage, Messrs. Rae, T. McMaster3, Tyes, Halliday, J. Palmer, Levington, Gitley, Greig, Hill, Hill ; from Nelson, Mr. Kingdon. The screw steamer White Swan amved in Nelson on Saturday evening, after a run of eight days from Melbourne. The voyage would no doubt have been made in a much shorter time had not the vessel encountered strong head winds, which sometimes increased to a gale. The White Swan is an iron screw steamer of 322 tons, built by Messrs. W. Simons and Co., of Glasgow. Her engines are direct acting, of 75 horse power; they were manufactured by Messrs. A. and J. Inglis, and the boiler is heated by four immense furnaces. Her average speed, under steam alone, is said to be nine knots per hour, and she consumes about thirteen tons of coal every 24 hours. The vessel is comfortably fitted up, and she haa accommodation in the saloon for 30 passengers, and in the stesrage for about 90 passengers. In addition to which, her intermediate cabin, which has during this trip been appropriated as a hold for the passengers' luggage, can be used when required to afford increased paesonger accommodation. Altogether, the White Swan is a very comfortable vessel, and there is every reason to hope that her performance of the New Zealand inter-provincial service, for which she has been engaged, will not disappoint the public. She left for Wellington yesterday morning, having taken on board several tons of Motupipi coal, which she will use on the voyage. We have been informed by the owner, Mr. Kirkwood, that the engines of the White Swan were specially constructed for the purpose of burning

inferior coal, and that if this trial of the Motupipi coal succeeds, the steamer will use it regularly. The White Swan sails from Wellington for Taranaki and Manukau, whence she will probably return to Nelson, and then make the round of the other southern provinces. The ship Burmah arrived from Wellington on Saturday, with a few of her original passengers from London and some cargo. The Burnett sailed for Sydney on Monday morning, with several passengers and some Nelson produce, including 700 ozs. of gold dust. The steamer Tasmanian Maid sailed for Wellington on Sunday morning, with about 200 ozs. of gold dust and a few passengers. She is expected to return to Nelson this morning. The ship Palmyra cleared from Sydney for London on the 31st May. In the Sydney Enypire of Juno 1 the schooner William Alfred is reported as having cleared out for Nelson and Wellington on that day ; and in the same paper the Cheetah is advertised to sail for Wellington in a few days. The Ariel is advertised to sail from Melbourne for Nelson on the lOlh June. The steamship Emeu, vritb. the April mail on board, was expected to arrive in Melbourne on the sth June. The Jeanie Dove had cleared out for Wellington, and would sail twelve hours after the arrival of the English mail. The Cheetah was bound from Wellington to New Plymouth, but in consequence of adverse winds, she was compelled to shape her course for Sydney. On the 18th instant, oft' Cape Egmont, Captain Joyce sighted a brig, supposed to be the Emma, and the brig Wanderer. — Sydney Empire, June 1. j
