Just about midnight the Union S.S. Co.'s Tarawera arrived from Sydney with passengers and cargo as above. Of the trip across Air. Murray, purser, to whom we are indebted for prompt delivery of files, furnishes the following particulars The Tarawera left Sydney at 5 p.m. on the 13th instant, and passed the Three Kings at 1 a.m. on the 18th, rounding the North Cape at 7 a.m. the same date, and arriving in Auckland as above. She experienced strong easterly winds with considerable sea for the first three days after leaving Sydney, thence light airs ana calms with very smooth sea to arrival. About half-past ten yesterday forenoon the Union S.S. Co.'s Rotomahana arrived from the South, with a large number of passengers, and a quantity of merchandise, including a number of transhipments, ex the s.s. Kaikoura, at Wellington. Mr. J. Keith purser, to whom we are indebted for files' reports ass follows The Rotomahana left Melbourne, at 3 p.m. on the sth inst., and was abreast of Swan Island at 3.10 p.m. on the 6th, reaching Hobart at 10.30 a.m. next day. She sailed again at 1.30 a.m. on the Bth, and arrived at the Bluff on the 11th at noon ; left again at 6 p.m. the same day, and after calling at the usual way ports, arrived as above. During the trip light variable winds and fine weather were experienced throughout. The work of discharging the vessel was promptly begun on her being

berthed, and was continued to a late hour last night, outward cargo being also snippetl in preparation for her departure for byaney, which is fixed for 5 p.m. to-day. After a smart run of eight days the schooner Glencairn arrived yesterday afternoon from Lyttelton with a full cargo of _ gram -or this port and the Thames. Captain Mutton imports of the trip that the schooner saitea from Lvttelton on the 10th instant with lignt southerly winds, which freshened into a hard gale on the 12th. The East Cape was rounded on the 15th, and calms and light head winds caused her to make slow progress across the Bay of Plenty, prevailing until port was made at 4.30 p.m. yesterday. The tender of Mr. G. JSiccol has been accepted by Messrs. Cruickshank and Co,, the agents of the Stavanger, for the discharging and storing of her cargo of guano. hen she is unloaded the vessel will be docked for examination, probably in the Calliope Yesterday evening the s.s. Wellington sailed for Whangarei with a good number of passengers ana a considerable freight of stores, etc. Several of the officers and crew of the ship Silverdale, from Puget Sound, have on arrival at Melbourne, reported instances of cruelty on the part of the master, Captain Morton. One charge is that of keeping one of the hands in a dark locker without food or water from Saturday night until the following Tuesday at noon. This is denied by the master, as are also the other charges alleged against him. The schooner Silver Cloud, now on her way to this port, instead of bringing a full cargo of Newcastle coal as was expected, lias onboard a large quantity of general merchandise from Sydney ~ J

THE BARQUE DEVA.-SAFE ARRIVAL.

After some little uneasiness had been caused by the long delay in the arrival of the barque Deva, all doubts as to her safety were set at rest at daylight yesterday morning by the welcome intelligence that she had been made out inside liri, and Mas awaiting a pilot to come into port. The s.s. Rotoiti left the wharf shortly after S a.m. with Pilot. Saintv, who went on board the barque about 10 o'clock, and under his charge she was conducted to an anchorage opposite to the Queen-street Wharf, having to contend against head winds up to the time of her dropping her anchor, as the strong westerly wind blowing compelled her to beat right up the harbour. Notwithstanding her long passage, the Deva has sustained no damage whatever on the voyage, ana came into port in excellent condition, the delay in her arrival being wholly due to a continuation of adverse gales. The actual time occupied by the Deva from the date of leaving the London docks till her arrival here was Ml days, but as she lay in the Downs from April 30 till May 6, the number of days she was sailing was only IX). The passage itself was devoid of incident, and was during the greater portion a monotonous struggle against adverse winds. Captain Davis reports as follows : — The Deva left London on April 30, but lay in the Downs till May (5, when she continued on her way. In going down the Channel a dense fog was experienced, during which a collision with a large steamship was but narrowly averted by constant blowing of fog signals. Moderate weather was experienced till the Equator was crossed in 30" West, on June 11; and the barque rounded the Cape of Good Hope on July 25, thence during all the time of running the easting down, which was done in about the 45th parallel, strong adverse winds retarded the vessel's progress. hen in 20' E long, a succession of southerly gales set in, and the Deva did not get clear of them till near Tasmania, where the wind went round to the north-west, and blew with great violence, being accompanied by heavy confused seas, and it was deemed prudent to lie to for two days, during which time oilbags were used on the water with excellent effect. The South Cape of Tasmania was passed on August 2Sth, and the Three Kings sighted on September 11th. Down the coast fresh winds from the south-west were encountered, and Tiri was sighted at daybreak yesterday, and harbour made as described above.

The Deva is well-known in New Zealand ports, and visited Auckland previously about six years ago in charge of Captain Pierpont, the present master, Captain Davis, being then first officer. She is a shapely iron barque of 762 tons, and is owned by Messrs W. Just & Co., of Liverpool, but i;, at present running under charter to the Colonial Union Shipping Company, whose local agents, Messrs Stone Brothers, will attend to the ship's business while she is in port. The Deva will berth at this morning's tide, and will at once proceed to get cut her cargo, after which she will take in about 200 tons of manganese as stiffening, and then go to Napier to load wool for England.
