AERIVAL OE TBI! IDA ZEIGLER, FROM LONDON. Our old friend the clippper ship Ida Zeigler, Capl. A. Keynolds, arrived in harbour on Saturday afternoon last, from London, after another good passage •"if 05 days from Plymouth. She sailed on the 26th i ; '■:!;■, passing outside . tlio Cape de Verd islands. Bud very bad N.E. trades, nothing but S. and S.W. sinds being eiperitricc-d from the C'haiirud to the liijuator, whicli. was crossed on the 27ih August, in b-"gitude 23 ~ vr. i !U; tj.E. trades al»o proved very light and taiiiing, and the meridian of the Cape ot Gead B'epe "Kus criissed oc lae lDth September ; ran down her eastings between the parallels of 45 ? and -16 = exp. ricncing moderate weather. Sighted the Soutlienimcs-t part of Tasmania on the IGth October, and ; osscd the Tlirce Kings on the 27th, making the ma down coast in the short space of 3b hours, 'llie b'la Zeiclcr has Iherefbre made a splendid run of 40 ii»ys from the Cape of Good Hope, and as mention of a clipper v.e may here say that she is only nine months and 11 days absent from tnis port, including her detention in London.

She has brought an addition lo our population of 170 souis, without- any deaths, under the medical charge of Dr. Lee; ai=o 3 donkeys, 6 prize rams, a prize cow, and a numerous assor.nient of English birds.

'1 he ship, 33 usual, has come into port in a clean nnd creditable condition, nnd all on board speak in the highest terms of the kind treatment the} have received from Captain lieynolds, his oiiicers, and doctor, and it is with the greatest pleasure we publish the following testimonials presented :— " Auckland, October, 1861. "'We, the third-class passengers on board the good ship Ida Ziegler, bound from London to Auckland, New A;:'iuiiu, beg to tender our sincere anil best thanks to Captain W. Reynolds for his indiscriminate and fatherly care in providing both old and young, married and single, -with unlooked-for comforts and nourishments during the voyage : it has been "Only ask and ye hare." We regret our limited means prevent lis giving a more substantial testimony of our gratitude, and can only say the names of Captain "\V. Keynoids and the Ida iJiegkr ■"'ill long be remembered with pleasure by all, including our friends at home and in New Zealand, wishing him health, wealth, and will to navigate and exercise his benevolent mind for many years to come. And next conies the chief oiiicers, Mr. 11. Mann and -•Ir. Neville. We cannot speak too highly of their proficiency when the ragins; seas required more than all the tact and activity men possess. Steady and '"'in in t!;u execution of their arduous duty, they studied to add to our amusements, recreation, and general welfare. Wishing them success in their profession, and trusting ere long to see or hear of their witching the position they are -so worthy of, "We remain, " 1 heir grateful servants."

'J ho «rnn»l from Leifh was the barque liandoiph, via Wellington. Lhe immigration tor the month therefore, together wiili 110 pasrengers, <vhich arrived by 13 vessels from the Australian Colonies, amounts to 929 souls, and when 79 passengers, who have emigrated during the month; is dediieted from that; it leaves the large balance of 850. in our favour.

Tho men-of-war on the station have bepa busily engaged during tho month, in cruising, about the coast, but are now all assembled in Jiarboit:*:-—C'nra-<;cia, Commodore "Wiseman, C.

The fine ship Columbus, Captain Robert A die, arrh ed off the Jieads yesterday evening, altera pleasant passage of 115 days from the Downs. The following ale the particulars "f her passage: —Passed through the Downs on the loth June, taking her final departure from L'shant on thfi 24th. Passed ci'Sside tho Cape De Verd Islands,-expe-riencing very light N.E. trades; crossed the Equator on tho 27th .July, in longitude 26 a 11' "W., nnd had very moderate i-s.E. trade w nds: crossed the meridian of tho Cape of Good Hope oil the 23rd August, running dowrt her tasting between tho parallels ilf 40® and 49° j in these latitudes, \V. and S.AV. winds were encountered witll Vt'fy finally, wot weather.-. Off Tasmania, had a hard gnlo from the N.E., which drove her down as far as 50 ° 8. ; after that light winds prevailed, and the North Cape was rounded.at Il'3o a.m., on SiiftdaT last.

Tin only ship connected with tho Colonies spoken during ti.e passage, was the barque Guadalettc, five days out fj tun this port, on the oth inst., in longitude 103° 10' E., latitude 34° S., ; wished to be reported. The Coiuinb'is brings IR9 passengers, all in good health, and the ship has arrived in a clcSn and crcditable condition.

"Lear Sir,—"We the undersigned passengers by the ship Columbus, from London to Auckland, bavin" experienced your great kindness, consideration', and gentlemanly behaviour during the passage, are desirous of hereby testifying our grateful appreciation of the same, and, ere we part, beg, as h smal token of our esteem,'to oiler you our most sincere and heartfelt- thanks. In conclusion wc beg to wish both you and your wife every happiness and till this world's .joys. x " ourselves, " Yours faithfully." (Signed by all the passengers.)

ARRIVAL OF THE EAGLE SPEED FROM LONDON.

The fine ship Eagle Speed, in command of our old acquaintance Capt. James Bnntden, late of tho AA illiam Miles, arrived in harbour yesterday morning after a rather protracted passage of 125 days from Louden. Tho following is the icporl of her pas-

bailed lVoiu Gravesend on Sunday morning, the 12tl> June, and, after a succession of adverse pales in the Channel, tool: her linai departure from 3 fount's 13ay, Cornwall, on the '-'2nd. Alter that had light and variable -weather to the Ist Augiut, on which day the Equator wa•< crossed. During the nineteen days j that the ship was detained in the variables between ' tin; Cape de Yerds and the line, it ivus discovered that the main piece of the rudder was sprung, and that the tiller made nearly double the angle v.-ith the ship's heel that the tail-piece did. Tliis unfortunate circumstance considerably impeded the ship's progress during the remainder ot the voyage, as it was found necessary in order to sieur tin 1 ship at ali to carry much less sail than otherwise would be done. from the Equator to the Cape the usual trade-wind.! and southerly weather was experioucrd ■ the island of Tristan liv.eliuna was passed on the' niirht of tlie i!slli August, and the meridian of Hie Cape of Good Hope on the Ist September From whence to the S. \V. cape of Tasmania steady breezes and fair weather was experienced ; but it was found impossible to bring out tlie ship's' sailing qualities, on account of the dillieulty of steering' her under even an ordinury press of Gull, and no will whatever could he kept upon the Ti)'! "w tntesi

oil beard, and a spnro tiller forged on "board, Toady to be shipped in tbo tail pieco of tlio rudder in case of necessity. Tho above report will fully account for tho lengthened pns£a£e of the ship, which in nil other ways was pleasant throughout: The Throo Kinsfs were sighted on tho 13tli instant at noon, thfa North Capo passed the sumo night, and Capo Brett on Saturday, evening ]a.st. Tho Eagle Speed will have a new rudder shipped here. She. brings-a fotai of 191 passengers, all in good health, there being no deaths and only one birth on tho passage. They have arrived under the charge of Surgeon-superintendent Fred. J. Robinson, E.H.C.S., England., , Tho' Eflglo Sjjecd is :i fine ship of 1,200 tons, inimitably fitted up for passengers, and has arrived in harbour in a clean and cieditablo tondition. Messrs. Owen and Gralium are her agents.—lbid, Oct. 17.
