After a long absence from this port the smart little fore and aft island schooner Lillian came into harbour yesterday morning, with a cargo of ifrult, eta,, from Aitutaki. The sohqoner, up-jn the presant occasion, brings her cargo of fruit into port in splendid order, despite the somewhat lengthy passage, and the vessel, herself is ; idso a model of cleanliness, a fact that reflects Tory highly upon the attention bestowed U{.on the ■ehooner by Captain Piltz, who reports that the Lillian took her departure from the island named OS tho 27th ult., and the passage has been only noticeable for the extreme fine weather and light winds that have prevailed; in fact, only on o&e day was the schooner favoured ■with a breeze, and then she managed to oover some 210 miles. The schooner is to land her . cargo at the Queen-street wharf to-day, at which, ■he was berthed last evening. . The Union Co.'s s.s. Wairarapa proceeded down to Diunken Bay yesterday morning for ,the purpose of adjusting her compasses. She returned last evening, and to-day at noon will leave here for Southern ports and Melbourne. 1 The barque Sharpshooter having completed ,the landing of her cargo of raw sugar at the .Sugar Company's works, at Birkenhead, has dropped down the harbour to a berth off the Queen-street Wharf. In the afternoon .he cleared outward, at the Customs for Sydney, via Whangaroa. The s.s. Douglas, from East Coast ports, came into harbour yesterday morning early, with oargo and passengers. She leaves again this evening for the same ports. The brig Wild Wave entered outwards at the Customs yesterday for Mercury Bay, there she |s to load timber for Sydney. To-morrow jvenlng, it is expected, she will tow down to N the last-named port. The baique West York sailed from Lyttelton . for London yesterday with a full oargo of g'/ain, «C, ' j \ THE LADY JOCELYN. • Messrs, Shaw, Savill, and Albion ttoi'a fine ■hip Lady Jncelyn came into hat hour early yesterday morning in tow of the t/ag Awhina, Mid in ohirgo of Pilot Sainty- 'Xho ship was aft tho Poor KniiMa by the* tug at about

8 p.m. lon Tuesday, Vnd from there w«i brought into port, the Lady Joceiyn in her visit, to this port hitherto has been enabled to make very , fair passages, but upon the present occasKn her voyage ha* extended to the somewhaOlong period of 109 days. In a large measure this delay is accounted for from the fact from the very first the .hip was delayed by strong wind* in the English Channel, and to her nyfc obtaining the assistance of any north-east tr\des, and to an utter absence of any westerlies,in her voyage across the southern ocean; an®, considering these serious drawbacks, the shin may bo said to have done remarkably well. Y<*; the voyage, though a rather long one, appears ft have been very enjoyable, and for the comfort \f the passengers the weather on the whole hy been of bright and cheering nature, there hawmg been but seven really wet days during thy whole voyage, and a* to storms and gald* the [ Lady Jooelyu has managed to keep well oWof them. Monotony and tedium during the v\«ge were absent, the whole of the passengers ottng all in their power to make the time passVs pleasantly as possible for each other, aVd towards that end they were most ably assisted by Captain Watt and hi. who left nothing undone that would" conduce to the comfort of those under their charge. Entertainments were held In the saloon weekly, and to these all the passengers and crew were invited, and they proved of much interest and pleasure. The comedy of "Sho Stoops to Conquer" was given, and for its get up, etc., would have done credit to many a provincial stage. Twice weekly, Dr. Algernon Le Perkins delivered lectures on surgery, eto., and they also proved of interest, being most instructive. Dr. Le Perkins dealing with matters that wffre considered would prove of use to the intending settlers that were on board. Goodwill and contentment appear to have prevailed throughout the ship, if we are to judge from the expressions of good wishes that were literally poured upon Captain Watt and his officer, after the vessel had oast anchor yesterday. To assist Captain Watt in the naviga* tion of his vessel, he has Associated with him Mr. Golden as chief officer, Mr. Alien as second officer, and Mr. McLean (who last visited here as a midshipman on the same vessel) as third officer. The good order and state of cleanliness in which the Lady Joceiyn has been brought into port, both alow and aloft, is creditable to all the officers. No sooner was the ship's anchor down than Dr. Lewis, the port's health officer visited her, and finding all in good health, gave Captain Watt the ever weloome clean bill of health, and after obtaining that Messrs, Cruiokihank and Co., the agents for the vessel, at onoe arranged for the berthing of the ■hip alongside the Queen-street wharf, and this, with the aid of the tug Awhlna, was speedily accomplished by the deputy harbourmaster, Captain Fisher. The agents, with a view to the speedy discharge of the ship, announce, in another column, that consignee, mnst pass entries and obtain delivery orders for their oargo at once, so as not to impede the ship's disoharge and for the landing of the oargo stevedores are desired to tender before ten o'olock this morning. Of the voyage of the Lady Jocelyn we leirn that the ship left London on the 26th November last, and on her way down the English Channel she encountered very stormy weather, whioh proved anything but pleasant to the passengers, coming, as it did, at'the very outset of the voyage. The pilot was landed off Start Point on the 3rd December, and from that time moderat* N. W. winds were fallen in with, and they continued .ntil Madeira was passed on the 10th of the same month. Unfortunately for the good progress of the ship, the N.E. trade, were conspicuous only by their absence, and n itheir stead S.W. winds most persistently held to the vessel. On the last day of the year 1886 the Equator wis crossed, and the S.E. trades, like the N.E. trades, proved most unfavourable, in fact they came so much out-from the southward that the Lady Jocelyn was driven far over towards the Brazilian coast, Cough's Island was passed on the 21st January, and the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope was crossed on the 2Sth January in 43' S. In working down the eastings a total absence of westerlies were ' observable, in faot these gallant winds appear to be things of the past, for when the Lady Joceiyn was between the parallels of 43' and 45' S instead of good favouring winds being met with, in their place light airs and calms were only to be obtained, with unusually fine weather, which naturally very considerably retarded the ship's progress, and so broke the good records previously earned by the ship in her voyages to New Zealand. Tasmania was rounded on the 2nd inst., and on the ninth day afterwards the first sight of New Zealand (the Three Kings) was obtained. From thence light N.E. winds and calms held to the ship up to the time of her reaching port. PORT OF ONEHUNGA. ARRIVALS. Gairloch, i.e., McArthur, from Waitara and New Plymouth. Passengers: Messrs.
