The steamer Alhambra, Captain Sinclair, left yes- ‘ terday evening for Lyitelton, Port Chalmers, Bluff, and Melbourne. . , , The steamer Rangatira, Captain Lloyd, proceeded on her voyage to Napier and Poverty Bay last steamer Ladybird, Captain Andrew, will arrive this morning from Northern ports. She will sail for Lyttelton and Port Chalmers in the afternoon. The steamer Phcebe, Captain Worsp, may be expected to arrive from Lyttelton and Port Chalmers this afternoon. It is probable she will convey the Taranaki immigrants .by the ship Howrah to their destination. , . . . The Pelican, a fine new topsail schooner of <4 tons, under the command of Captain Jackson, arrived in this harbor early yesterday morning from Sydney. Captain Jackson reports having left Sydney on the 18th nitimo, and experienced favorable N. and N.E. winds during the run across, which occupied but eight days, having been four days in the Strait, the winds being light and baffling. The Pelican brings a general cargo, consigned to Wellington and Wanganui merchants/ The Pelican has been purchased by an Oamaru firm, and will be employed in the grain trade. Mr. J. M. Taylor is agent for the vessel. The Stormbird came round from the Patent Slip yesterday, having received a coat of paint, and having been cleaned. She sailed last evening for Wanganui, with a full general cargo. The Late Voyage op the City of Melbourne. —TheA.S.N. Co.'s City of Melbourne, chartered for the conveyance of the English mails via San Francisco, has arrived on her return voyage, and came into port as staunch and trim as if only off a pleasure trip, although since leaving Sydney she has traversed some 15,000 miles of ocean steaming. She brings a large number of passengers, all of whom speak in glowing terms of the very excellent arrangements on board, the admirable manner in which the providoring department has been carried out, and the kindness and attention with which they have been treated"by Captain Brown and the officers under his command. The voyage of the ship has been in every sense a success, and the passage back of twenty-seven days will at once endorse the assertion of her being a vessel of no ordinary speed.— Sydney Morning Herald. Passengers’ Luggage,— w ls a ship captain personally responsible for passengers’luggage?” was the question put by a legal gentleman yesterday during the hearing of a case at the Resident Magistrate's Court. The captain and second mate of the Invercargill were defendants in an action for tort brought by George Moir and his two sons, immigrants, in £22 10s. was claimed for loss of luggage and discomfort through defendants’ negligence. On the one side it was urged the luggage was taken on board the ship at Greenock, and sent away elsewhere, and although defendants’ attention was drawn to the fact, no immediate steps were taken for its recovery. This was flatly denied on the other side, and the captain swore he had heard nothing of the matter until the day before arrival at Port Chalmers. The Magistrate gave judgment in favor of plaintiffs for £16105., and counsel asked leave to appeal, on the ground that the captain could not be held personally liable for the luggage. The Bench replied : "The ship is liable for the captain,” and refused' to grant leave, as the steerage passengers would bo involved in heavy litigation expenses by going to the Supreme Court, and a strong enough case had not been made out.— Otago Daily Times, November 24. ARRIVAL OF THE HOWRAH FROM LONDON. After a passage of ninety-seven days, the ship Howrah arrived in Wellington harbor yesterday afternoon, having been towed to an anchorage from Worser Bay by the steamer Manawatu. The Howrah is a fine iron ship, of 1100 tons register, commanded by Captain W. R. Grceves, and although her sides appear foul she has made one of the best trips from England to this port during the present year. She left London on the 26th August, but eight days had elapsed before she finally lost sight of the Lizard, having encountered boisterous weather in the English Channel. Crossed the line on 20th September: sighted Tristan d’Acunha on the # 10th October, and passed the Cape of Good Hope eight (lays later, experiencing fine weather in its neighborhood. With the exception of a couple of gales, moderate weather and favorable winds were experienced In running down the easting. Passed to the southward of Tasmania, and sighted the Snares on Thursday last, so that no time has been lost in running up the coast. There were ten deaths during the voyage, but, excepting one woman, all were infants, who succumbed from diarrhoea and "mumps.” The Board of Health passed the vessel last evening, the complaints which prevailed during the passage not necessitating the placing of the vessel in quarantine. There are 380 sonls on board the Howrah —six less than when she left the docks. The ship fJoukar left six days before the Howrah, and may, therefore, be expected to put In an appearance at any hour. The Howrah is under charter to the New Zealand Shipping Company, and comes consigned to Messrs. Johnston and Co. John A. Easton, M.D., Is the medical gentleman in charge. The Howrah is anchored at no great distance from the wharf.
