Ths Ravenscbaig. — The ship Ravenscraig, of 1,000 tons burden, left Gravesend on the 29th October, 1861, and had proceeded as far as Beachy head, when she was obliged to put back to the Downs, where she was in company with about 200 sail. After three several attempts, she at last succeeded in reaohing Plymouth, where she took in water, provisions, &c. j she sailed thence on the Ist December, passed Madeira on the 15th December, Cape de Verde Island on the 25th, and orossed the Line on the sth January, 1862 ; passed between the Island of Trinidad and Martin de Vass rooks on the 13th, and Tristan da Oonha on the 22nd, passed the longitude of the Cape on the 31st, St. Paul and Amsterdam on the 19th February, Cape Leuwin on the 21st, Van Dieman's Land on the 9th March, longitude of the south end of New Zealand on the 14th, Cape Farewell on the 21st, and arrived at Nelson on the 23rd March. Altogether she had fine enjoyable weathor, with generally light winds. The least distance run in any day was 23 miles, the greatest 265 miles. There was one birth, a fine boy, born off Beachy, during a gale of wind. The health of the paßßengers, in general, was very good, the steerage passengers were very oheerful and contented, with, as usual, one or two exceptions. It will thus be seen that ehe made the run from Plymouth to New Zealand in 104 days. The schooner Matilda, from Mamilcau, bound to Taranaki, put in here on Saturday March 22nd, to land twenty-one passengers for the West Coaßt The brig Lallah Rookh, Captain Greig, from Nelaon, had, about March 10, got on the bight of the oyster hank, at Newcastle, New South Wales, but she was not supposed to have received any serious damage.
