THE PAKEHA. The Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company's steamer Pakeha, Captain Prosser, arrived from London early on Saturday morning with a large cargo of general merchandise, included in which was a quantity of explosives. Shortly after arrival the steamer was boarded by Dr. Lewis, the Health Officer of the port, who, after inspection and finding that there had been no sickness during the voyage, granted the vessel pratique. The steamer, which is still under the command of Captain Prosser, comes into port in excellent order, reflecting every credit upon the deok officers, whilst the engiuo department leaves nothing to be desired, so far as condition is concerned. To Mr, Banks, the second officer, we are indebted for the following report of the voyage The Pakeha left the London Dook at 6.30 a.m. on December 1, and proceeded to Hole Haven to take in explosives, all of which were on board at noon on the 2nd, and the steamer proceeded on her voyage. The pilot was landed at Dover, and moderate north-east winds and fine weather prevailed down the Channel, followed by variable light winds and fine weather to Teneriffe, which was reached at 10.30 a.m. on the 9tli, After a stay of 10J hours the steamer proceeded oil her voyage. Light north-easterly winds prevailed up to sdeg. north of the Equator, when the south-east trades were picked up, and proved very light. The Equator was crossed on the 17th; and light south-east winds and fine weather continued all the way to the Cape of Good Hope, which was passed at 8 p.m. on the 29th | but being too late, could not signal, but signalled off Cape Agulhas the following day at noon. After passing the Cape variable winds and fine weather were experienced nearly all the way across the Southern Ocean, hardly having as much wind as to fly a kito to the captain's little boy, it being exceptionally fine. In latitude 47 degrees south by 136 degrees east a moderate southerly gale, with a heavy beam sea, was met with, the ship rolling and labouring heavily at times, but it only lasted for a couple of days. Games of all sorts were gone through on the passage, and the passage throughout was a very pleasant one. ' Passed the Eddystoue Rook, Tasmania, at 3 p.m. on Jauuary 22, and had light to. moderate north and north-east winds, rainy and hazy weather across the Tasman Sea. Passed Cape Maria Van Diemen on January 28 at 4.15 a.m., but did not signal it being too early. Rounded the North Cape at 7 a.m. the same date, and had light winds and fine weather down the coast. At 2.40 p.m. same date passed Russell, signalled at 11.30 p.m., rounded Tiri Tin 1.5 a.m., rounded North Head January 29, at 1.20 a.m. anchored in Powder Ground, Was all day discharging powder, and berthed at the Queen-street Wharf at 6.30 p.m. The engines were never stopped a minute the whole way from Teneriffe, 51 days, a long run without a stop. Captain Prosser is still in command and has with him his wife and sou, also the following officers: — Chief, Mr. Souden; second, Mr. Banks; third, Mr. White _ (late Asterion); fourth, Mr. Moylo (late Westland). Mr. Adams is in charge of the engine department; Mr. Young (late of Aotea) being second, Mr. Ferguson third, Mr. Stephenson (late Rangatira) fourth. Messrs.

Experienced fine weather throughout the trip. The Waihora leaves for Sydney this evening.

THE NEPTUNE. The barqueutine Neptune, Captain George Davies, arrived from Newcastle on Saturday afternoon, with a cargo of coal for the Union S.S. Company. The vessel, which is now on her drat voyage in the intercolonial trade, lias done remarkably well on the round trip, and her owners are to bo congratulated upon her making such good time. Of her trip from the New South Wales coal port the master reports Sailed from Newcastle on January 18, with north-easterly winds, which continued until the 22nd; thence southeasterly winds until 25th, and light variable winds and calm until sighting Cape Brett on Friday morning.
