ARRIVAL OF THE S.S. HERO, CAPTAIN LOG AN'. This fine steamer arrived here yesterday from Melbourne via Bluff Harbour, Dunedin, Lytteltou, Picton, Nelson, and Wellington. She brings about, 40 tons of general cargo, for ..Auckland, and 17 passengers, the greater part of her freight having been disposed of; at the.Soutern Ports. .She. has experienced, very heavy weather since leaving Wellington, strong'winds and heavy head seas prevailing throughout. She will leave again for the South on Friday.next. The Hero is a full powered and' fast steamer" of 765 tons register, and is., celebrated for having twice successfully , rnn , the Southern, Blockade at Charlestown, durine thc. present. American War. She litis also distinguished hereself by completing the pasMi ■:(> from Liverpool to Melbourne in the short space of 54 days, ojiq of'tlie nuickest runs ever "accomplished by any steamer. She is also a great favourite in the Otago trade,-hayin<j-made some of.the, fastest passages between Dunedin and' Melbourne on' record, the fastest from Port Chalmers to Melbourne having been preformed in 4 days lS liours." The Hero ia coiisidered by. all competent judges to be one. -of the- modelled _ boatß afloat, and from her-great size, she may be justly pronounced the finest'.steamer out.of. Melbourne. Her saloon is a magnificent apartment. And would well repay a- visit, being composed of maplewood of elegant -wprfananship, l fitted ;up in a most costly style, to ensure the "comfort arid ease of passengers ; and,to.giye,a,.finish to the whole the. »aloon is adorned -with eight sponded oil'paintings of Swedish scenery, aiicl two liie like portraits'of their Majesty's the King and" Queen of Swcdiii, executed by the emminent artist,-John Bettridge', Esqi, of Birmingham.
