ARRIVAL OF THE BARQUE STRACATFIRO FROM LONDON. This fine iron barque, of 1159 tons register, arrived in harbour at an early hour on Monday, March 1, after a splendid passage of 94 days from the Downs, and 92 days from Start Point. The barque brings 103 passengers, the whole of whom, with one exception, have enjoyed excellent health, and speak in terms of commendation of the courtesy and attention paid to their welfare by Captain Miller, Dr. Richards, and the officer?. That the Stracathru is entitled to rank among her compeers of the Dundee clipper line is evident from her running on this occasion, as the official log shows shat for 12 consecutive days, while running down her eastings, she averaged 260 miles per day. Testimonials, expressive of the acknowledgments of the passengers for the kindness and attention shewn them during the voyage, were presented to Captain Miller and Dr. Richards. Death and Accident.—On February 16, aged 43, in 48* S. 112* E., Mrs. Leah Mason died of exhaustion from an attack of chronic dysentery. She was suffering when she came on board. On December 9, one of the seamen, a Dane, named Wyomberg, fell from the mizentop, and broke his thigh, besides other injuries. He is progressing favourably. _ I Speakings.—On December 13, in 25* N. 22* W., 10 days out from London, the barque j Alastor, bound for London; December 19, off the Cape de Verde, was in company for two days with the immigrant ship Earl Granville, bound from London to Auckland ; on November 30, in lat. 47* N., lon. 9" W., passed the steamer Lupa in a sinking condition, and abandoned, boats all gone, and no person visible. Her poop was nearly under water, but the bows well out. Passed within a quarter of a mile ; wind from the eastward. ARRIVAL OF THE EARL GRANVILLE, WITH 31S IMMIGRANTS. The above vessel arrived off the Heads on March 4, from Plymouth. On the Health Officer visiting the ship, it was found that a very large amonnt of sickness had been prevalent on board —some 30 or 40 cases of measles. This disease broke out among the children ten days after leaving Plymouth, but fortunately subsided without proving fatal. Whooping cough had also been rife among the children, and in one case proved fatal, not fewer that 12 children having been attacked. Two other deaths, those of infants, had also occurred, but these were due to consumption and general debility. Dr. Fox, the medical superintendent, with four or fivo others, war© al&o laid up with low fever. Under these circumstances the Health Officer deemed it necessary to send the vessel into quarantine. Soon after landing at Motuihi Dr. Fox died. There have been four births. The voyage of the Earl Granville occupied 96 days. She was not favoured with very good trades to the north of the Line, but that she can sail fast is evident froti the fact that on one day she did as much as 303 miles. After being thoroughly cleaned and fumig ited, the vessel was admitted to pratique, and the passengers were released from quarantine o:i March 20.

Accident.—Mrs. Porter (matron), fracture of arm.

The passengers per the barque Earl Granville from England, just prior to their arrival here, presented to Captain Campbell a very flattering testimonial commendatory in its language as to the able manner iu which he worked the vessel, aud for his assiduous attention, and the general courtesy he displayed to those committed to his charge. The testimonial is rather unique iu its style and finish, and was executed by a passenger, Mr. William Taylor, a carver and gilder by profession, and reflects very creditably upon his ability a? an artist. The following is a copy of the address :—" To Donald Campbell, Esq., master of the barque Earl Granville, of Glasgow.—We, the emigrants sailing in the above ship, desire your acceptance of this slight expression of our warmest thanks for the kind and watchful manner in which you have conducted us from England to New Zealand. In uniting to your own duties a most cheerful and unremitting attendance on all, you have conduced greatly to the recovery of the sick and to the comfort and wellbeing of the remainder of the emigrants. Deeply as we regret the severe illness of the aurgeon-superintendent, we cannot but feel extremely happy that we have come through the voyage with so small a proportion of sickness ; which, together with the general good conduct throughout, we believe to be due, under God's providence, to your firm and thoughtful administration.—Signed (on behalf of the committee), Mrs. Porter (matron), M. Regan (chairman), A. Donaldson, J. W. Goodison, J. H. Haman, R. Lathrope, R. Robinson, William Taylor, and W. J. Phillips (hon. secretary)."

A telegram has-been received stating that the Auckland schooner Saxon was ashore on the Kaiapoi bar, aud was expected to turn out a total wreck. The Saxon left the Thames about nineteen days since, with a cargo of timber for Kaiapoi. She was in charge of Captain George McKenzie, and is owned by Captain Kenneth McKenzie, of the schooner Borealis.

Information lias been recei% f ed in town from New Caledonia that tho well-known schooner Aoba, formerly the Peerless, of Auckland, has been lost in the hurricane about the 17t ulfc., wheu returning to the New Hebrides from Noumea, with expired labour. It is stated that all tho crew and labour were lo3t. Beyond the mere fact of her loss there is ijo further intelligence.

The new Bchooner Cutty Sark, "which was launched on March 9 from tho shipbuilding yards of Messrs. McQuarrie and UcCa'.lum, Mechanics* Bay, is a fine specimen of local workmanship, and will bear comparison with any of the staunch and handsome clippers which the firm have turned out of hand. The vessel is of a. very handy size, adapted either for the coastal or Island trade, and already she his been chartered to run between Hokianga and the Manukau with totara piles. The dimensions of tho Cutty Sark are—length of keel, G2 feet; beam, 17 feetS inches; depth of hold, 7 feet; and will register about 52 tons. The ceremony of christening* the vessel devolved upon Mrs. McClymont, the wife of the future master, who performed the duty in a very satisfactory manner, aud the launch was a very pleasant one, and was accomplished amid tho cheers of a number of persons who were fortunate euough to be in the vicinity.
